City authorizes construction-phase services for Baxter tank rehabilitation; $63,200 amendment approved
Summary
The committee approved an amendment to the Olson engineering contract to provide construction-phase services for rehabilitation of the 1,000,000-gallon Baxter tank; cost of the amendment is $63,200 and staff said work may begin in spring, summer or fall depending on contractor schedule.
Staff reported an amendment to the Olson engineering contract to provide construction-phase engineering services for the Baxter 1,000,000-gallon tank rehabilitation. The amendment covers onsite observation, specialty coatings expertise and construction administration and is valued at $63,200.
Tim Nundgren said the city already has a construction contract with the rehabilitation contractor and that this amendment adds Olson’s construction‑phase support. He said Olson may send staff from its Kansas City office who specialize in coatings and surface preparation. The committee approved the amendment by voice vote.
Why it matters: construction‑phase engineering services ensure work meets specifications, particularly for coatings and surface prep on large tanks, and the amendment positions the city to proceed when the contractor schedule allows.
Staff said the project could start this spring or summer or be deferred to fall depending on contractor availability; the amendment was advanced to council as part of the regular agenda process.
