Summary

The Canton City Council voted June 10 to award a $390,000 contract to Tankez Coatings for Alternate A of a water tower restoration and improvements project, contingent on concurrence from USDA–Rural Development.

The Canton City Council voted June 10 to award the water tower restoration and improvements contract to Tankez Coatings of Fort Worth, Texas, at a cost of $390,000, contingent on review and concurrence by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development office.

Mayor Kristy Ziegler opened the meeting and council took up the award under old business. Council member Jason Magnuson moved to award the bid for Alternate A; council member George Hafner seconded and the motion carried.

The bid award was described in the meeting minutes as the lowest responsive, responsible bid for Alternate A. The award is contingent on USDA–Rural Development review and concurrence, meaning work cannot proceed under the city-authorized contract until that federal review is complete.

Why it matters: the water tower restoration is a capital project that will affect the city’s water infrastructure and involve a significant budgeted expenditure. The minutes record a formal approval but do not list a contract start date, payment schedule, or which local account will fund the project.

What the record shows next: the contract award awaits USDA–Rural Development concurrence, per the motion recorded in the minutes. The minutes do not specify a timeline for that review or the anticipated start of work.
