Title
2017 Elevated Tanks #6 and #8 Exterior Cleaning - Proposal
History
In order to improve the appearance and extend the life of the exterior coating system on the Villages elevated tanks, periodic removal of mildew, stains and dirt build up is required. Elevated Tank #6 located at 9701 W. 131st Street was constructed in 2000 and was last cleaned in 2009. Elevated Tank #8 located at 15501 Park Station Boulevard was constructed in 1978, last repainted in 1998 and last cleaned in 2010.
Proposals were requested from three qualified contractors for spray cleaning and fungicide coating application; National Wash Authority (formerly Midwest Mobile Washers) of Morrison, Illinois, H2O Towers LLC of Saline, Michigan and Pittsburgh Tank & Tower Co., Inc. of Henderson, Kentucky.
National Wash Authority and H2O Towers provided matching low bids under the assumption that both Tanks are cleaned at the same time. Public Works has worked with both companies in the past and has been satisfied with the final results of each company. However, H2O Towers owns and transports all of their own equipment, minimizing the time equipment is staged on site where as National Wash Authority rents equipment that may remain on site for several days. Additionally, H2O Towers utilizes ground matting around the perimeter of the tank, significantly reducing the amount of turf damage from tire rutting while utilizing mobile aerial platforms. It is staff’s recommendation to utilize H2O Towers LLC of Saline, Michigan with a proposal amount of $11,000.00.
On August 7, 2017, this item was reviewed by the Public Works Committee and recommended for approval and referred to the VIllage Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
Sufficient Funding to complete this work are available in the Water and Sewer Fund budget line item 031-6002-443900.
