Mr. Bushar replied that he did not have the numbers available, explaining that it will depend on <br />the location of the tower, the soil conditions and the height of the tower. <br /> <br />Mr. Kohler, AEC Engineering, reviewed the pros and cons of the different styles of tanks. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that he would not be inclined to chose a multi-legged tower <br />which was also the consensus of the Committee. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski inquired if the City bids out two tanks to different contractors how <br />would they determine to award the bid. <br /> <br />Mr. Busher replied that each contractor specializes in different types of water towers. He <br />suggested receiving three prices on the composite tower and then one price for the hydropiller <br />and then review the bids after they are received. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski replied that he is concerned the City will be required to accept the <br />lowest bid. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that AEC Engineering should focus on the hydropillar tower <br />or the composite. He questioned the stability of the single pedestal tower. <br /> <br />Mr. Kohler replied that the single pedestal towers do require more maintenance, but are a stable <br />tower for a 1.5 million-gallon tank. <br /> <br />The Committee discussed at length the maintenance that is needed on a single pedestal tower. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that he would like to know what the cost differences are <br />between the two options and some time of long term projection in regards to maintenance of the <br />two towers. <br /> <br />Mr. Kohler reviewed the different logo design possibilities of the tower, noting that as part of the <br />bidding process the City will need to submit a logo and colors they are requesting. <br /> <br />Mr. Busher stated that once the site is surveyed and the soil is analyzed they will be able to put <br />together rough costs. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that for rough estimates it can be assumed that there may be <br />two logos visible on each side with large letters, and possibly three colors. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski reviewed the proposed project schedule and inquired as to what the <br />additional cost might be for early completion. <br /> <br />Mr. Busher replied that they would not know until the bids are let. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee/February 15, 2000 <br /> Page 4 of 9 <br /> <br /> <br />
