ITEM:
Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding the award of a contract to Kimley Horn and Associates, Inc. for design and professional services for Well Site #3 Water Tank and Hydropneumatic Tank Rehabilitation. (Tomas Sanchez, City Engineer)
SUMMARY:
The Engineering Department, on behalf of the Department of Public Works – Water Division, is seeking Council approval for design and professional services related to the rehabilitation of the potable water storage tank, hydropneumatic tanks, and associated site piping located at Well Site No. 3 as allowed under procurement code section 03.05.080 Professional Services.
The existing water storage tank and hydropneumatic tanks were inspected in November 2025, and significant deficiencies were documented in the storage tank, hydropneumatic tanks, and site piping. Key issues include severe deterioration of the 300,000-gallon welded steel tank, particularly roof rafter corrosion, coating failure, structural delamination, inadequate ventilation leading to condensation-driven corrosion, and required safety upgrades. Additional concerns include incompatible bituminous coatings on the site piping and hydropneumatic tanks, deterioration of the original coatings, and the need for full interior and exterior recoating, appurtenance replacement, and hydropneumatic tank recertification.
The intent of this design effort is to reduce long-term corrosion risk, improve hydraulic and operational performance, and support the reliable and compliant operation of Well Site No. 3.
RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE TO APPROVE THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH KIMLEY HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INC. FOR THE DESIGN OF WELL SITE #3 WATER TANK REHABILITATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $65,940.00 AS PRESENTED.
