NEW BUSINESS A. 0.5 MG Water Tower Rehabilitation—Engineering Services Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka stated 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. 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. Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka reviewed the scope, fee and schedule for design and bidding services for the 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. Councilmember Holmes asked what fund would be used to cover this expense. Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka reported this project would be covered by the Water Fund. MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember McClung seconded a motion to Approve the scope and fee from WSB & Associates in the amount of $5,000 for engineering design services for the 0.5 MG north water tower repair and repainting.
