Case #3: Update on Water Tower Projects <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated that now that the structural erection of the new water tower has <br />been completed staff wanted to update the Committee on the remaining work elements necessary <br />to make the new water tower functional, and also those elements necessary to repaint the existing <br />water tower. Water Tower No. 2 will receive two coatings of epoxy painting both inside and out. <br />The repainting is anticipated to commence within four to six weeks when temperature and <br />humidity conditions will allow. The cost of the painting included within the $1,455,000 lump <br />sum contract with PDM, Inc. (now CBI, Inc.), AEC Engineering will oversee the inspection of <br />the coating application. The structure, painting, and all interior wiring and electrical work is to <br />be completed under the contract with PDM, Inc. The column pedestal has been equipped with an <br />overhead door to accommodate vehicles and equipment storage. The area outside the tank <br />remaining to be finished with a paved driveway, site landscaping, and pipe connection between <br />the water tower and the distribution system located on Sunwood Drive. The Engineering <br />Department, using its new CAD system, will prepare the plans and specifications for this work. <br />Following the completion of Water Tower No. 2, Water Tower No. 1 will be repainted. The <br />actual work will occur in the fall when temperature and humidity conditions are favorable for <br />painting. In fall, the peak summer demand period has passed which also makes this a suitable <br />period for the work. It is however to the City's advantage to bid this work as soon as possible to <br />obtain the best pricing for the work. The City Engineering Department using the CAD system <br />has prepared plans. Mr. Jankowski reviewed the three-color scheme options and the cost <br />differences. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Public Works Committee was to recommend color scheme #1 for the <br />repainting of water tower #1. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski explained that there are a couple of issues remaining around the water <br />tower site and requested authorization for staff to prepare the plans and specifications. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Committee was to direct staff to proceed with the plans and specifications. <br /> <br />COMMITTEE INPUT <br /> <br />1. Discussion on Waco Street NW <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated that staff will begin collecting data on the speed along Waco <br />Street. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec noted that he is still receiving calls from residents in regards to the danger along <br />Waco Street N.W. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski explained that staff would complete the studies and then bring them <br />back for Committee review and public comment. <br /> <br />2.
