Royalton council approves low bid and consultant services for 300,000‑gallon water tower rehabilitation

The Royalton City Council on Feb. 10 adopted Resolution 2-10-26-2 approving the low bid and consultant services for rehabilitation of the city’s 300,000‑gallon water tower. Bolton‑Menk reported that a public bid opening was held Feb. 2, 2026 and that O & A Classic Coatings and Paintings Corporation of Hurst, Texas was the lowest bidder; the council voted unanimously to accept the bid and proceed.

Phil Martin of engineering firm Bolton‑Menk asked the council to approve Construction Phase Services and a two‑year warranty inspection to support the project; the council approved both phases, at a combined cost of $66,800.00. The consultant’s request covered on‑site construction oversight and post‑construction warranty inspections intended to ensure the rehabilitation meets specifications.

The council’s action authorizes staff to move forward with contracting and project implementation with the selected contractor and Bolton‑Menk. The record does not specify a construction start date, contract award amount to the contractor, or the funding source for the work; those items were not discussed on the record and remain to be determined by city staff.

The water tower rehabilitation responds to the city’s infrastructure maintenance needs; Bolton‑Menk’s recommendation and the unanimous vote signal the council’s intent to proceed. Additional project scheduling, contractor contract execution and budget details were not specified at the Feb. 10 meeting and are expected to appear in subsequent staff reports or agenda packets.
