3. Approve Final Plans, Order Bids, Blake Water Tower Painting (CR2001-33)
Steve Stadler said that the CIP includes the project for 2001 with an estimated cost
of $500,000. The tower was inspected and underwater videotaping has shown that
the extent of the corrosion requires a complete repainting. The engineering estimate
of the construction cost is $291,250. The color will be the same as the Moline
Water Tower and the lettering will be evenly divided on the tank horizontally in three
locations using the same letter color that was applied to the Moline Tower. Mr.
Stadler explained how the neighboring properties will be protected from falling debris.
Council Member Johnson moved and Council Member Hesch seconded a motion to
approve plans as presented and authorize bids for the rehabilitation and painting of
the Blake Water Tower, Project 01-03. A poll of the vote was as follows: Council
