MEMORANDUM
September 3, 2002
TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: Bob Green, Water Department Manager
SUBJECT: Fourth Zone Water Tower Project
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this memorandum is to inform you that the plans
and specifications have been completed and received from Veenstra & Kimm, Inc. of
West Des Moines, Iowa for the construction of a one million gallon water tower.
DISCUSSION: This project provides for the construction of a new water tower to be
located next to the Soccer Complex, North of the Northwest Arterial on John F.
Kennedy Road (See Attachment page 1).
There are two different type tower designs and capacity sizes being evaluated for this
project. Those being a fluted hydropillar that is constructed of all steel, or a composite
elevated tank that is designed utilizing a welded steel storage tank on a reinfomed
concrete support column.
The proposal schedule for this project is created in requesting these sizes and designs
as four alternates. Those alternates with preliminary cost estimates are:
· Alternate A- 1 MG Fluted Pillar $1,000,000
· Alternate B - 1 MG Composite Elevated Tank $1,000,000
· Alternate C - 1.25 MG Fluted Pillar $1,250,000
· Alternate D - 1.25 MG Composite Elevated Tank $1,150,000
(See Attachments pages 2-7)
Both tower designs include the capability at a later date to add a second floor for future
use. In addition, the design includes the installation of two single side doors and two
overhead doors (front & back). This will allow the tower column to be used for material,
equipment, and vehicle storage.
The proposed color selected for this tower is Tnemec Daily Bread, which has been the
City's standard for several years. The Contractor will be required though to submit
other colors for review. The Engineer's proposed design includes the City's name to be
painted on the storage tank. The City's name would be positioned with its visibility
being the strongest when traveling North and South on the Northwest Arterial (See
Attachments pages 2-6).
The monies budgeted for the construction services for this water tower project are from
the FY '03 Budget and is in the Engineer's estimated cost of $1,000,000 to $1,250,000
dollars depending on the type design and capacity size selected.
