ounds View City Council <br />egular Meeting <br />Page Seven <br />March 9, 1992 <br />Councilmember Rickaby stated that the lighting was discussed at the <br />last meeting of the Environmental Quality Task Force.. The group <br />consensus was that the Task Force opposed this amount of electricity <br />being spent on lighting. This lighting goes against the priority <br />of conserving electricity. <br />Mayor Linke polled the Council and it was felt that this was too <br />expensive and felt the lights should just be placed at the top of <br />the tower and the access point. <br />Minetor stated that the cost without the lighting would be $697,000 <br />with ten percent contingency for a total of $766,700 to Pit - <br />Des Moines, Inc. <br />Councilmember Rickaby stated that the Environmental Quality Task <br />Force suggested that we use solar lighting. <br />MOTION~SECOND: Quick/Blanchard to award bid to Pit Des Moines, Inc. <br />for the construction of a new water in an amount not to exceed $766,700 <br />which includes ten percent contingency to be charged to account number <br />680-4121-705. These monies would come from the water bond fund and <br />tear down of the old towers. <br />Councilmember Quick commented that it was cheaper to tear down and put <br />up one new tower than to refurbish the existing two. <br />Ric Minetor, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, indicated that <br />the main problem with refurbishment of the two existing towers is the <br />lead paint and structure repairs need to be made at each tower. <br />Councilmember Quick verified that Minetor had stated at a previous <br />meeting that the towers would have to be completely shrouded in order <br />to do the repairs as paint from the towers would have to be contained <br />when the towers were sandblasted and the dust collected and hauled <br />away as hazardous waste. <br />Orduno stated this would be a potential liability. <br />Bill Frits, 8072 Long Lake Road, asked if someone else would purchase <br />and put up these towers or would they be scrapped out. <br />Minetor stated that sometimes smaller towns will purchase these towers. <br />What they do is take the towers into the shop and structurally repair <br />the towers before they put them back up. Minetor stated he had two <br />interested contractors contact the City. <br />VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br />
