Resolution 98-043, re: Accept Engineering Report and Advertise for Bids for the Water 20 Tower Project. 21 Michael Foertsch, Municipal Engineering Department Manager at RCM, noted a report in regard 22 to rehabilitation and recoating of the water tower. The water tower was constructed in 1953. 23 The interior has been recoated three times in 1964, 1972, and 1983. The exterior was spot 24 sandblasted and recoated in 1983. 25 Mr. Foertsch stated RCM is recommending the following improvements to the water tower: 1. 26 Remove dirt from around the tank supports; 2. Add a 24-inch mushroom vent; 3. Install new 24- 27 inch flanged roof hatch; 4. Fasten existing access ladder to tank roof; 5. Install safety railing; 6. 28 Install-safety grate on top of 6-foot diameter riser; 7. Remove existing cathodic protection 29 system; 8. Replace overflow pipe. 30 Mr. Foertsch explained that the coating on the water tower was examined for the adhesion rating 31 and the coating thickness. It is the opinion of RCM that an overcoat of the existing coating 32 system may not be the best solution due to the adhesion factor. He stated that the estimated cost 33 for tank rehabilitation, overcoat exterior and new interior coating system is $122,700. The 34 estimated cost of tank rehabilitation,new interior and exterior coating system is $182,700. Mr. Foertsch explained that a comparison of the 20-year life cycle costs (at 6% interest) in 1998 dollars for the exterior coating system yielded the following results: Overcoat alternative- 37 $155,000 and Recoat alternative- $135,000.
