The purpose of this tower is to provide higher pressure for the areas around Wexford <br /> Heights, Seminary Estates, and other nearby streets. This tower was built in 1992. <br /> The High Service Tower repairs include a fair amount of steel work as specified (i.e. seal welding, tank <br /> repairs, additional access hatches, and updated safety ladders). To prevent ice buildup within the storage <br /> reservoir (which can damage the coatings and structural integrity), staff and our consultant, recommended <br /> the installation of an internal mixer. The reconditioning of the tower is expected to be complete in July, <br /> 2013. <br /> Costs and Funding: This project will be funded from the Water Improvement Fund(Fund 400). <br /> The provisions of the contract with Champion Coatings, Inc. stipulate that the City makes a partial payment <br /> to the contractor at least once each month at regular intervals on the basis of the work performed during that <br /> preceding month. This partial payment shall not exceed 95 percent of the value of the certified estimate. <br /> Grant . Wyffels,P.E. <br /> Director of Public Works <br /> Attachments: Bolton&Menk, Inc.
