Ventnor City to refurbish North Surrey Avenue water tower; award recommended to Dynamic Sandblasting
Summary
Commissioners discussed and included on the consent agenda a contract to sandblast, repaint and refurbish the North Surrey Avenue water tower; the meeting record shows award to Dynamic Sandblasting and Painting LLC, with bids described in the transcript as ranging roughly from $1.7 million to just under $1 million, though the exact award amount was not read aloud.
The Ventnor City Commission included a contract award in its consent agenda on Sept. 25 to refurbish the North Surrey Avenue water tower, with Commissioner Landgraf recommending the city award the work to Dynamic Sandblasting and Painting LLC.
"It's not just sandblasting. It's painting, some refurbishment of the water tower over on North Surrey Avenue," Commissioner Landgraf said in the discussion, noting the city received multiple bids. He told the commission the high bid was about $1.7 million and described the low bid as "just under $1 million" as read in the record; the exact dollar figure for the award was not stated aloud in the meeting transcript. The commission placed the contract on the consent agenda and adopted the consent package by roll call.
Commissioners also discussed choosing a lighter color for the tower to reduce heat absorption; Landgraf said the darker green currently on the tower "actually causes the water temperature to heat up, and it makes it harder to maintain good quality water in that water tower." The city will finalize color and contract details during the implementation phase.
Commissioners noted financing will be obtained through IBank and that some grant funds may be available; the meeting record indicates favorable IBank financing terms will be used for the project. The clerk and administration are responsible for completing final contract documents and confirming the award amount in the official contract file.
The contract award and related procurement documents are the authoritative source for the exact award amount, contract term, and project schedule.
