Council approves USG maintenance contract for Loftus Road water tank
Summary
Council approved a maintenance and renovation agreement with USG for Loftus Road water tank: roughly $35,142 annually for the first four years and $11,000 annually thereafter for inspections and repairs.
Public Works Director (speaker 6) summarized an agreement with USG to renovate and maintain the Loftus Road water tank. The director said the first-year work (and years 1–4) would cost $35,142 and include exterior and interior renovation, pressure washing, repainting, overflow screen updates and seal replacement; thereafter the city would pay about $11,000 per year for ongoing maintenance and five-year inspections to meet TDEC requirements. "The 1st year for the 1st 4 years is $35,142," Public Works Director (speaker 6) said.
Committee member (speaker 2) asked for clarification of the lifecycle and the recurring cost. The Public Works Director confirmed the ongoing $11,000 expense. The director and Mr. Morrison recommended the contract; Chair (speaker 3) moved to approve the agreement with USG, and the motion passed by voice vote.
The contract covers scheduled inspections and upgrades intended to meet state inspection cycles; the council did not attach additional funding sources or amendments at the time of approval.
