Approve Specifications and Authorize Advertisement forBids for
Lake Lucy Storage Tank Reconditioning - Project No. 00-02
Staff recommends the approval of the specifications and authorization to advertise
for bids for reconditioning work on the Lake Lucy Storage Tank.
The estimated cost for recommended structural repairs and replacing the interior
and exterior coatings for the Lake Lucy Storage Tank is $552,400.00. The
recommended work and the cost estimate are based on an inspection of the tank
by KLM Engineering, Inc. The inspection report includes pictures documenting
the tank condition observed during inspection. A copy of the inspection report is
on file in the Engineering Department.
The specifications include two bid alternates; one for completion of the project in
2000 and one for phased completion of the project over two years (2000 and
2001).
As discussed at the April 17th Council Worksession, the reconditioning project
will require removing the reservoir trom service during work. Because the
reservoir contains 66% of the City's water storage capacity, the City will need to
enact sprinkling restrictions and other water conservation measures throughout the
WllllllUllit y during1he work. 'While cornpletingtlre"WU'I'k"'in umryear to iimit the
necessary water conservation measures is desirable, the two bid alternates will
allow the City flexibility in the bid award to phase the project if necessary.
Failure to approve the specifications and authorize advertisement may result in
delays to the necessary work. These delays may result in cost increases for the
work and shorten the lifespan of the existing tank.
