AGENDA ITEM: 0
MEETING DATE: March 9, 2011
ITEM:
Engineering Services Agreement with Dixon Engineering, Inc. for the Shales Parkway Water
Tower Painting Project
($52,038)
OBJECTIVE:
Hiring and engineer to oversee the repainting of the Shales Parkway Water Tower to ensure the
work is performed to specifications.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize staff to execute an engineering services agreement with Dixon Engineering, Inc. for
the construction phase of the Shales Parkway Water Tower Painting Project in the amount of
$52,038.
BACKGROUND
The city's water towers provide 5.5 million gallons of elevated water storage to facilitate stable
system pressure for the water system. Over the years, it has been in the city's best interest to
maintain the water storage facilities in good operational condition, in order to sustain reliable
system pressure and potable water storage capacity to meet the demands of the residents.
OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS
The Shales Parkway water tower is the only tower in the city's low pressure zone, and the larg-
est elevated water storage tank in the city.The tower was built in 1992 and painted with a coat-
ing that was estimated to provide fifteen years of protection to the tower. The tower was in-
spected in July of 2009, and the inspection resulted in recommendation to strip the existing
coating, recoat the interior and exterior of the tank and perform additional rehabilitation
measures to the tower, due to coating failure and aging.
rOn February 23, 2011, the city council approved Bid 11-005 which awarded a contract to Jetco
Ltd. for the Shales Parkway water tower painting project.
fi
The department determined that it would be in the city's best interest to engage a tank coating
inspection consultant to observe the contractors work. This action would ensure that the city is
receiving the acceptable coating product, surface preparation and application procedures. A
request for proposals was released to consulting firms familiar with this nature of work and two
sealed proposals were received. A committee of department staff was organized to evaluate
the proposal documents according to qualifications, scope of services, capabilities, familiarity
with the work and past record. A primary firm was selected based on these criteria. The fee
proposals were then opened and it was determined that the primary firm offered their scope of
services at the best value to the city.
INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
None.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
It is the recommendation from the department to execute an agreement with Dixon Engineer-
ing, Inc. for the Consulting Engineering Services for the Construction Phase of the Shales Park-
way Two Million Gallon Water Tower Painting Project for the not to exceed amount of$52,038.
