TO:The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT:Fourth Zone Water Tower Project
Sealed bids were received for the Fourth Zone Water Tower Project. Water Department
Manager Bob Green recommends award of the contract to the Iow bidder, Landmark
Structures I, L.P., in the amount of $1,206,000, which is approximately 4.65% above the
Engineer's estimate, however still within our proposed budget. This contract will provide
for the construction of a 1.25 million gallon composite elevated water tower
(Alternate D) with the added alternate of a fiberglass screen to conceal most
communication equipment, which would be located on top of the tower.

MEMORANDUM
October 11, 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 recommend that the City
Council approve the attached resolutions adopting the plans and specifications and
awarding the contract for the water tower project on John F. Kennedy Road.
DISCUSSION: This project provides for a water tower to be constructed on John F.
Kennedy Road. This project is part of an effort to supply water service to the residents in
this area and will also provide water to the Industrial Park West and the County Care
Facility.
There are two different type tower designs and capacities being evaluated for this project.
They include a fluted hydropillar that is constructed of all steel, and a composite elevated
tank that is designed utilizing a welded steel storage tank on a reinforced concrete
support column.
The alternates with preliminary cost estimates are:
· Alternate A- 1 MG Fluted Pillar $1,100,000
Altemate B - 1.25 Fluted Pillar $1,250,000
· Alternate C - 1 MG Fluted Composite Elevated Tank $I,000,000
· Alternate D - 1.25 MG Composite Elevated Tank $1,150,000
Ten bids were received from three contractors which included the four alternates
identified.
The bids were as follows:
Company
Alternate A Alternate B Alternate C Alternate D
1. Landmark Structures I, L.P. No Bid No Bid $1,065,000 $1,168,000
2. CB & I Constructors, Inc. $1,219,000 $1,329,000 $1,230,000 $1,341,000
3. Caldwell Tanks Inc. $1,226,000 $1,378,000 $1,244,000 $1,384,000
The above base bid proposals are for the water tower. In addition to this price the City
requested an additional alternate bid for a fiberglass screen on the top of the tower.
This fiberglass screen would conceal most communication equipment which would be
located on the top of the tower.
Fiberglass screen and support frame proposals
Addition AItemate:
Engineer Estimate: $50,000.00
Company
1. Caldwell Tanks, Inc. $47,000
2. CB & I Constructors, Inc. $75,000
3. Landmark Structures I, L P. $38,000
Previous hydraulic studies of this area have been conducted dudng the past
seventeen years by Clapsaddle-Garber Associates, Fox Engineering and I.I.W.
Engineering. The results from their reports recommended the need for a water tower in
the system's Fourth Pressure Zone.
Recent studies have determined that a 1 MG or a 1.25 MG capacity tower would be
needed to support the demands in this area. Based on today's demands, development
occurring in the West Industrial Park and to support future growth, it is Staff's
recommendation that at 1.25 million gallon water tower be built.
As identified in these proposals a composite tank is less expensive. The cost
difference between a 1 MG and 1.25 MG tank is $103,000 or approximately 9.7% of
the project cost. For this approximate additional 10% total project cost, the City would
receive a 25% increase in the volume of the tank.
Therefore based on previous Engineering reports, Water Department Staff's evaluation of
projected growth, development studies and our consulting engineers, Veenstra & Kimm,
Inc. input, we are recommending that the 1.25 million gallon Composite Elevated Water
Tower with the additive alternate be built and that the award of contract be made to
Landmark Structures I, L.P. in the amount identified below:
Alternate D $1,168,000
Additive Alternate $ 38,000
TOTAL AWARD OF CONTRACT $1,206,000
The monies for this project will come from the sale of G.O. Bonds through our Capital
Improvement Project Fund.
The Engineer's estimate for this project was $1,150,000. The Iow bid is approximately
4.65% above the Engineer's estimate, however it is still within our proposed budget.
ACTION REQUESTED: I recommend that the City Council approve the attached
resolutions adopting the plans and specifications and awarding the contract to
Landmark Structures I, L.P. of Fort Worth, Texas in the amount of $1,206,000.

The City of Dubuque will first need to determine the alternate for which contract would
be awarded. Once the alternate has been selected, the City would award contract to the
Iovcest responsible and responsive bidder for the alternate selected.
For the comparabIe tank sizes the bids received for the composite elevated tank is lower
than the respective bid received for the fluted piliar design. A comparison of Jhe low bid
received for tile 1 MG elevated tank and 1.25 MG elevated tank sizing is as follows:
Composite
Elevated Cost
Tank Size Tank Steel Tank Difference
1 MG $1,065,000 $1,219,000 $154,000
1.25 MG $1,168,000 $1,329,000 $161,000
To address the decision makin§ process for the award of contract, it appears the City
should resolve the following issues:
1. Determine whether the tank will be a composite elevated tank or fluled pillar.
2, Determine whether the tank will be a 1 MG tank or a 1.25 MG tank.
3. After determining the alternate 1o be selected, the City should decide whether to
select [tie optional additive alternate.
For comparable tank sizes, the composite elevated tank is significandy less cosily lhal'~ the
steel fluted pillar. The cost savings for tile composite elevated tank is approximately
$155,000 to $160,000, or in the general range of 14% of the cost of the tank.
Although t~'~ere are not a large number of composite elevated tanks h~ Iowa, lhe ~-¢~mposite
elevaled tank is ~aining popularity, especially for larger water towers. Each year there is
an increasin~ number of composite elevated tanks constructed. The number of composite
elevated tanks being constructed in northern ctimates is increasin§ each year.
Based on the capital cost difference between the composite elevated tank and the stee!
flu~ed pillar tank, it does not appear there is justification to incur the additional cost .~or the
steel tank. Ti~e composite elevated tank appears to be a proven design concept. There
does not appear to be any desi§n or concerns re§arding the composite elevated tank.
Robert M. Green
October 10, 2002

The costs received for the 1,25 hAG tanks are very favorable ie comparison to the cost of
the 1 MG tank, For the composite elevated tank, the cost differential between the 1 MG
tank and the 1,25 MG tank is $103,000, or approximately 9.7% of the project cost, For
this approximately 10% increase in the Intel project cost, the City' of Dubuque would
receive a 2,5% increase in the volume of the tank.
The analysis completed by the City of Dubuque would indicate either a 1 MG tank or a
1.25 MG tank would meet the long term storage requirements of the City. The I MG tank
is large enough to meet the needs of the City, The 1.25 MG tank is not too large to
operate within the fourth pressure zone.
Based on the prices received for the four alternates, it would appear Alternate D is the
preferable alternative from a cost perspective. This alternate is a 1.25 MG COmposite
elevated tank. This alternate allows the City to construct a 1.25 MG tank for a lower cost
than a 1 MG fluted pillar.
Landmark SLructures I, L,P., the Iow bidder for the composite elevated tank, exclusively
builds composite elevated tanks. Landmark Structures I, L.P. has constructed more
composite elevated tanks than any other contractor in the United States.
Landmark Structures I, LP. has constructed a significant number of composite elevated
tanks of the size of 1 MG to 1.25 MG. Landmark Structures I, L,P. has the experience
capability to construct the Fourth Zone 1 MG Water Tower.
The price bid by Landmark Structures I, L,P. for the fiberglass screen trader the additive
ahernate is $38,000, The cost for the additive alternate appears to be fair and reasonable.
The additive alternate would add to the top of the elevated storage tank a fiberglass screen
which would conceal most communication equipment which wot[id be located on the top
of the tower,
The Fourth Zone t MG Water Tower is a relatively short tower, '['he communication
cctuipment on the top'of the tower will be relatively visible due to its height. The addition
of the screen would appear to be a beneficial addition to the project, Veenstra &
Kimm, inc. would recommend the City of Dubuque consider the additive ahemate to add
the screen to the elevated storage tank.

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).
Thero 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 reinforced
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.
The schedule for the project is as follows:
