Council approves preliminary engineering task order for Butler Farms elevated storage tank
Summary
Council approved Task Order No. 3 with Pape‑Dawson Engineering for preliminary engineering and 30% design deliverables for an elevated water storage tank near Butler Farms; staff said the project is in the CIP (approx. $15 million) and that the first design phase will inform later costs and schedule.
The City Council approved Task Order No. 3 with Pape‑Dawson Engineering to provide preliminary engineering and 30% design documents for a proposed elevated water storage tank near the Butler Farms subdivision.
City staff explained the task order covers initial engineering work to answer site‑specific questions including hydraulics, electrical needs, access roads, and geotechnical borings so the city can define full scopes for later design and construction phases. Staff described the task as a two‑phase approach: the current authorization covers preliminary engineering to approximately 30% design, after which the city will bring a subsequent task order for completion and construction engineering.
Councilwoman Diane Williams asked whether the project has a CIP estimate; staff confirmed the CIP includes an amount in the neighborhood of $15,000,000 for the storage tank and related works. Staff said construction and total project timelines could take roughly 16 to 24 months once the full design and procurement proceed.
Action: Council moved and seconded approval of Task Order No. 3, with language noted on the record that staff should not exceed $70,750 without prior council authorization. The council approved the task order by voice vote.
Ending: Staff noted that the 30% phase will refine the scope for geotechnical, electrical and other subconsultants and that future task orders will be presented for council approval before construction funding or contracts are executed.
