Staff recommends award of the contract to Gulf States Protective Coatings (GSPCI), the lowest <br />responsive bidder, in the amount of $243,025 with an additional change to the allowance for the logo <br />application at $30,000, for a total base bid of $273,025 and a project contingency of $24,000 (8.79%), <br />for a total authorization of $297,025. Additive bid item 1 may likely be used during construction and is <br />included in the project costs. GSPCI is an experienced water tank rehabilitation contractor that is <br />capable of completing the project in a timely and professional manner. <br />Benefits: <br />The existing tank structure is in good condition overall. The new interior coating will protect <br />the welded steel tank interior from corrosion. Minor repairs and exterior coating will extend the service <br />life of the structure and enhance the appearance of the water tower. <br />Liabilities: <br />The interior coating is no longer providing adequate protection to the steel. <br />Operating Costs: <br />No change <br />Other Considerations: <br /> Over-coating the exterior now eliminates the added expense of exterior <br />shrouding to conduct sandblasting down to bare steel. <br />Action Required by Council: <br />Consider approval or other action to authorize City Manager to enter into a contract with Gulf States <br />Protective Coatings in the amount of $273,025 and a project contingency of $24,000 for a total project <br />cost of $297,025. <br />Approved for City Council Agenda <br />Corby D.
