Title
Elevated Water Tower #7 and Tower #10 Exterior Cleaning - Proposal
History
The 2012 Fiscal Year Budget has a Board approved line item in the amount of $12,000 for the cleaning of our water towers. Elevated Water Tower #7 located at 13600 Cherry Lane was constructed in 1977 and was last painted in 2000. Tower #10 located at 15800 South 88th Avenue was constructed in 1979 and was painted in 2001. In order to extend the life of the exterior coating system, periodic removal of mildew stains and dirt buildup is required. Proposals were requested from three contractors for spray cleaning and fungicide coating application.
Proposals were received from:
Pittsburg Tank & Tower Maintenance Co., Inc. of Henderson, Kentucky.....$17,000
Midwest Mobile Washers LLC of Morrison, Illinois.....$ 8,550
H2O Towers LLC of Saline, Michigan.....$ 6,800*
*H2O Towers LLC has proposed to clean both towers for $6,800 if both are cleaned together (proposal attached). We have used H2O Towers LLC before and we have been very satisfied with their work.
Therefore, it is recommended that the proposal from H2O Towers LLC of Saline, Michigan, for the cleaning of both towers be accepted.
On October 15, 2012, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
There is $12,000 budgeted for the cleaning of the water towers (Account #031-6002-443900). The bid price of $6,800 is $5,200 under budget.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve accepting the proposal from H2O Towers LLC of Saline, Michigan, for the cleaning of Elevated Water Tower #7 and Elevated Water Tower #10 for an amount not to exceed $6,800.
