Change Order No. 2C. These revisions included the following:
• Additional 5 year performance warranty, which would extend out to October 24,
2011.
• The Contractor shall perform one, three, and five year inspections in the
presence of the Owner and Engineer.
• If issues are identified related to the concrete shaft, the Contractor shall make
approved repairs at no cost to the City of Lake Elmo.

the water tower during the one, three, and five year inspections.
RECOMMENDATION
It is hereby recommended that the city council approve Resolution No. 2007-057
accepting the work for Elevated Water Storage Tank No. 2. The Engineer’s project final
acceptance will be sent to the contractor providing the start and end dates for the
warranty period and final payment will be made including the release of all retained
funds.
