'lbe cost of a subnerged system <br /> would be in the area of $7,000 - $8,000. I believe that with more freqUent <br /> inspections to check for potential problems, that a cathodic protection would <br /> not be J'l'=I'l.,n at this t:il!le. <br /> 'lbe A.E.C. report estimates that to repair all of interior ani exterior <br /> structure problems ani suggested updates, including spot paintin:r of some of <br /> the interior, ani paintin:r the entire exterior, the cost could be <br /> a~tely $253,000. To completely sandblast ani paint the entire interior <br /> of the tower would add an estimated $48,000 to this project. '!he total then <br /> would be approximately $300,000. <br /> '!he 1993 water bJdget includes $125,000 for the interior stIucture repairs ani <br /> also paintin:r the interior of the bowl within the tower. I have discussed <br /> this with City Ao:ountant Terry Post, who stated that the cu=ent water fund <br /> is still payin:r for the new water tower, ani may not be able to ~t all of <br /> the estimated repair costs for the old tower. <br /> Additional funding will be needed from the P.I.R. account, or another source <br /> if we are to do all of the interior structural repairs. However, after <br /> reviewin:r the A.E.C. report it would be my recomrnerx:lation that we look at <br /> doin:r the entire project all at one t:il!le. Though the City would have lower <br />. costs this year, we would then have to pay additional engineer fees, <br /> contractor m:>bilization fees, ani an additional down t:il!le for the tower next <br /> year. If the financin:r can be approved this year we should proceed to do the <br /> entire project this fall. '!he bids could be let this sprin:r, with completion <br /> of work in the fall. <br /> Pat Arlin:r from M.S.A. ani I will be at the March 16 Council worksession to <br /> answer any additional questions. <br /> DAN: 11 <br />- <br /> c: \~1\doc\dan\fet'fJ.l.dt,...1lIDO <br />
