Page 1 of 2 DATE: April 10, 2017 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers William S. Joynes, Sr., City Administrator FROM: Sue Polka, Public Works Director/City Engineer SUBJECT: 0.5 MG Water Tower Rehabilitation – Engineering Services Budgeted Amount: Engineering Amount: Funding Sources: $900,000 $46,274.00 Water Utility Fund Requested Action Approve the scope and fee from WSB & Associates in the amount of $46,274.00 for design, bidding, and construction services for the 0.5 MG north water tower repair and repainting (City Project No. 12-W-001). Background The 2017-2021 Capital Improvement Plan identifies a project to repair and repaint the City’s 0.5 MG water tower located at Cummings Park (Attachment A). The tower last underwent repairs in 2001. In 2012 the tower was inspected by Kollmer Consultants at which time it was recommended that repairs and repainting be completed within 1 to 2 years. A copy of the report is available at City Hall. The south water tower was rehabilitated in 2013 at a cost of $783,250. Based on recent bids and the scope of work for the tower, the current engineer’s estimate (construction only) for the north tower work is $780,000. The work includes interior structural repairs, interior coating replacement (including lead based paint removal), exterior structural repairs and exterior coating. Discussion The scope, fee and schedule for design and bidding services are detailed in Attachment B along with a project schedule. WSB proposes to complete the plans and bid documents for a fee of $5,000. This does not include an additional inspection as staff feels the inspection reports that the City has are adequate to prepare the bidding documents. Construction phase services are proposed to be completed for an hourly not to exceed fee of $41,274.00, which includes half- time construction observation, mileage reimbursement for the inspector and a 2-year warranty inspection.
