Summary
Project engineer Sam Adlington reported installation of impressed-current cathodic protection systems at the Stillaguamish and Sunnyside reservoirs. The contractor billed $91,492.31 against an allocated $130,000, producing an approximate $27,350 saving; council authorized acceptance and the 60-day lien-filing period.
Project engineer Sam Adlington described the recently completed reservoir cathodic protection project, noting the city installed impressed-current cathodic protection systems at the Stillaguamish and Sunnyside reservoirs to reduce interior steel corrosion and extend service life. He explained the systems are largely hands-off, require monthly staff dial readings and are expected to extend the systems' useful life by 15–25 years depending on water quality.
Adlington said the contractor Norton Corrosion Limited's base bid was $118,842.31 and that Norton billed $91,492.31, resulting in a reported savings of about $27,350 from the original allocation; Council member Richards moved to accept the project and initiate the 60-day lien-filing period for closeout, and the motion passed.
