NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. 0.5 MG Water Tower Rehabilitation – Engineering Services <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka stated the 2017-2021 Capital Improvement Plan <br />identifies a project to repair and repaint the City’s 0.5 MG water tower located at Cummings Park. <br />The tower last underwent repairs in 2001. In 2012, the tower was inspected by Kollmer <br />Consultants at which time it was recommended that repairs and repainting be completed within 1 <br />to 2 years. A copy of the report is available at City Hall. The south water tower was rehabilitated <br />in 2013 at a cost of $783,250. Based on recent bids and the scope of work for the tower, the <br />current engineer’s estimate (construction only) for the north tower work is $780,000. The work <br />includes interior structural repairs, interior coating replacement (including lead based paint <br />removal), exterior structural repairs and exterior coating. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka reviewed the scope, fee and schedule for design <br />and bidding services for the project schedule. WSB proposes to complete the plans and bid <br />documents for a fee of $5,000. This does not include an additional inspection as staff feels the <br />inspection reports that the City has are adequate to prepare the bidding documents. Construction <br />phase services are proposed to be completed for an hourly not to exceed fee of $41,274.00, which <br />includes half-time construction observation, mileage reimbursement for the inspector and a 2-year <br />warranty inspection. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes asked what fund would be used to cover this expense. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka reported this project would be covered by the <br />Water Fund. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember McClung seconded a <br />motion to Approve the scope and fee from WSB & Associates in the amount of <br />$5,000 for engineering design services for the 0.5 MG north water tower <br />repair and repainting.
