Bid Results on
Rehabilitation of the City’s 2-MG Drinking Water Storage Tank #3
BACKGROUND
The City’s water storage tanks are cleaned and inspected on a regular schedule. During the last inspection in 2019, it was noted that it was time to have the water tanks repaired and recoated. The repairs are necessary because of rusty interior parts, which are mostly above the water level. This is due to the chlorine gas oxidizing the metal above the water. Tanks #1 and #2 were rehabilitated last year, and work on Tank #3 is scheduled to begin in 2022, with a completion date of March 10, 2023. Tank #3 has been in service since 1962.
This project consists of the rehabilitation of the City’s 2-MG above-ground welded steel drinking water storage Tank #3. This work will include spot steel shell and structural support repairs and replacements; clip replacements; floor plate spot replacements; media blasting; epoxy coating the interior and exterior; and other appurtenant work on tank #3. The tank is approximately 48 feet high and 84 feet in diameter.
