REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM <br />Budget <br />Agenda Date Requested: February 10, 2013 <br /> <br />Source of Funds: 003 – Utility <br />Requested By:David Mick <br /> <br />Account Number: <br />Department:Public Works <br /> <br />Amount Budgeted:$120,000 design and <br />Report: ___Resolution:_____Ordinance:_________ <br /> <br /> construction. <br />Amount Requested: $15,000 <br /> <br />Budgeted Item:YES <br />NO <br />Exhibit:Dunham Engineering, Inc. Proposal <br />SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION <br />The FY 14 budget includes an allocation of $120,000 for painting the interiorof the elevated <br />th <br />water tower on 4Street. Staff received a design and construction services proposal from <br />Dunham Engineering in the amount of $15,000 (attached). The $15,000 proposal, if authorized, <br />would increase the total FY 14 value of city contracts to Dunham Engineering to more than <br />$50,000 requiring City Council authorization. Dunham Engineering has one other FY 14 <br />contract with the City of La Porte in the amount of $40,000 for the design and construction <br />services associated with the budgeted $465,000 ground storage tank replacement at Water Plant <br />#5 located near the Bay Area Boulevard/Spencer Highway intersection. <br />Other Considerations: <br />Please note that there is a discrepancy in the budget description on Page 8-6. The project <br />th <br />title reads: “Recoat Interior of S. 4Street Elevated Tank”; the body of the description <br />includes note that, in addition to the interior of the tank, the exterior of the tank will be <br />over-coated as wellwhich is incorrect. The proposed work includes only the interior of <br />the tank. <br />th <br />The consultant re-evaluated the exterior coating of the 4Street elevated tanks. The tank <br />was over-coated previously (2006). The next exterior coating, recommended in 3 to 5 <br />years, will require shrouding the tanks, sandblasting the prior coatings down to the metal <br />structure, and coating the exteriors with an epoxy paint. <br />Action Required by Council: <br />Consider approval or other action of this request to grant the City Manager authority to enter into <br />a professional services contract with Dunham Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $15,000for <br />th <br />design and construction services associated with repainting the interior of the 4Street Water <br />Tower. <br />Approved for City Council Agenda <br />Corby D.
