De Soto approves $2.05 million contract for Waverly water tower; timeline about 12 months
Summary
Council approved a contract for the Waverly water tower project after staff recommended awarding the low bid of $1,968,800 plus an $80,000 contingency (total $2,048,800). Staff said the project increases the tank size from 125,000 to 150,000 gallons and expects roughly a 12-month construction timeline.
Staff reported on the Waverly Water Tower project and the March 10 bid opening. Bids ranged from about $1.97 million to $2.75 million. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Cobble Tank at the low bid of $1,968,800 plus an $80,000 contingency for a total of $2,048,800, within the project CIP budget of $2,050,000.
Council asked about construction scheduling and neighborhood disruption. Staff said the current existing tower is not in use and that the primary disruption would be equipment staging; overall construction is expected to take roughly 12 months from contract execution. A councilmember moved to approve the bid and contract and authorize the mayor to sign; the motion carried by roll call.
Note: the meeting record contains inconsistent contractor naming when the motion was made (the motion references "Caldwell Tank"); the staff recommendation and bid evaluation named Cobble Tank as the recommended contractor. The city clerk should be consulted for the official executed contract name.
