P.W. CASE #: 3 <br /> <br />UPDATE ON WATER TOWER PROJECTS <br /> By: Steve Jankowski, City Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Now that the structural erection of the new water tower has been completed the purpose of <br />this case is to update the committee on the remaining work elements necessary to make the <br />new water tower functional, and also those elements necessary to repaint the existing water <br />tower. <br /> <br />Painting of Water Tower No. 2: Water Tower No. 2 will receive two coatings of epoxy paint <br />both inside and out. The repainting is anticipated to commence within four to six weeks when <br />temperature and humidity conditions will allow. The cost of the painting included within the <br />$1,455,000 lump sum contract with PDM, Inc. (now CBI, Inc.), AEC Engineering will <br />oversee the inspection of the coating application. <br /> <br />Committee Action: None required. <br /> <br />Water Tower No. 2 Site Improvements: The structure, painting, and all interior wiring and <br />electrical work is to be completed under the contract with PDM, Inc. The column pedestal <br />has been equipped with an overhead door to accommodate vehicles and equipment storage. <br />The area outside the tank remaining to be finished with a paved driveway, site landscaping, <br />and pipe connection between the water tower and the distribution system located on Sunwood <br />Drive. The Engineering Department using its new CAD system will prepare the plans and <br />specifications for this work. <br /> <br />Committee Action: Recommend preparation of plans and specifications for Water Tower No. <br />2 appearances and site development. <br /> <br />Repaint Water Tower No. 1: Following Water Tower No. 1 being placed into service in early <br />July, the City will have the opportunity to repaint Water Tower No. 1. The actual work will <br />occur in the fall when temperature and humidity conditions are favorable for painting. In fall, <br />the peak summer demand period has passed which also makes this a suitable period for the <br />work. It is however to the City's advantage to bid this work as soon as possible to obtain the <br />best pricing for the work. The City Engineering Department using the CAD system has <br />prepared plans. Renderings of three different tank painting schemes will be available for <br />viewing at the meeting. Also available will be plans and specifications for the repainting. <br /> <br />Committee Action: Recommend the selection of a painting scheme and authorization for the <br />solicitation of bids for Water Tower No. 1 painting. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />Director of Public Works <br />City Engineer <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor <br /> <br />PW: 03/20/01 <br /> <br /> <br />
