Council approves design work for Arnold and G Street water towers
Summary
Augusta approved a professional services agreement with JEO to design repairs and prepare bid documents for the Arnold and G Street water towers after inspection findings and ahead of a planned Kansas Department of Health (KDH) inspection; motion passed by voice vote.
Augusta council voted to approve a professional services agreement for design work on the Arnold and G Street water towers, staff said, to address wear found in inspections and to prepare a bid package before an upcoming KDH inspection.
Staff told council a vendor inspection identified coating and some structural issues requiring work beyond repainting; the agreement will produce engineering designs and bid documents so the city can solicit construction bids and award work at a future meeting. The work is intended to address both painting/coating and identified repairs.
Council member motioned to approve the agreement with JO Consulting Group, Inc. for the 2026 water tower improvements (Arnold and G Street towers) at a stated cost of 34,900 and the motion carried by voice vote.
