Board awards Gabs water-tank rehabilitation contract to Brand Energy Services
Summary
Nye County awarded a bid to rehabilitate the Gabs water tank — including interior epoxy-based repairs and exterior resurfacing — to Brand Energy Services after a competitive bid process; award includes grant funding for project work.
Nye County commissioners on April 8 awarded a contract to rehabilitate the water tank that serves Gabbs, approving staff’s recommendation to select Brand Energy Services of California as the low responsive bidder.
Bid and selection: Two responsive bids were considered; Brand Energy Services of California submitted the low responsive bid at $154,194. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Brand; the board voted and the award carried as recorded on the agenda (motion and vote recorded in the meeting minutes).
Scope of work: The project includes interior spot repairs to roughly 100 square feet of wall and roof using epoxy coatings and resurfacing the tank exterior to extend service life. The scope aims to extend the tank’s longevity and protect potable water storage in the small community.
Funding: Staff recommended funding from grants (account 210340 in the packet) and noted the project is grant-supported. The board approved funding and contract award as presented.
Why it matters: The tank serves a remote community and preserves local water storage reliability. County staff said the rehabilitation is more cost-effective than constructing a new tank and will provide years of additional service when completed.
Ending: Staff will finalize the contract and schedule work; commissioners directed staff to proceed with the award and grant funding as outlined in the agenda backup.
