Council approves $22,150 change order to reinstall fencing at 500,000-gallon water tower; mural work set to begin in July
Summary
The Seward City Council approved a $22,150 change order with Maguire Iron to reinstall temporary fencing around the 500,000-gallon water tower; painting and decorative mural work are scheduled to continue this summer with substantial completion expected by Oct. 31.
The Seward City Council on June 1 approved a $22,150 change order with Maguire Iron to reinstall temporary fencing around the city’s 500,000-gallon water tower to keep the site safe while painting and decorative work continue. The council approved the change order by recorded vote.
Mike, the city staff member presenting the item, said the fencing will be reinstalled around a slightly larger perimeter to prevent public access to potentially hazardous areas. He said the temporary fencing is expected to be in place only for a short period and will be removed once painting is complete. “This will be, for a short period of time and removed,” Mike said.
City staff said the current paint crew will continue through July and that the muralist who will apply a decorative outer coating is scheduled to begin work in July and is expected to take six to eight weeks. With the extension, the project’s substantial completion date is now Oct. 31, and staff said they do not anticipate another extension.
The council approved the change order on a recorded unanimous vote (8-0). Staff will continue daily inspection of temperature, humidity and coating thickness to ensure a durable finish and will coordinate public-safety measures around the site during continuation of the painting and mural work.
