Summary

Public-works staff requested and the council approved a $16,125 quote from Precision Power Coating to sandblast, powder-coat and reinstall a 750-foot leaning cemetery fence along Highway 8; staff will coordinate removal (volunteer help available) and reinstallation.

Public-works staff reported that a 750-foot cemetery fence along Highway 8 was installed without concrete footings and has been leaning. Staff recommended removing the fence, sandblasting and powder-coating it to extend service life, and then reinstalling it with concrete footings. A volunteer high-school crew will assist with initial removal.

Staff presented two quotes for sandblasting/powder-coating and a separate quote for full replacement; the lowest sandblast/powder-coat quote from Precision Power Coating was $16,125. Staff said city crews could perform reinstallation but that private-contractor installation estimates were higher (about $25,000). Council approved the $16,125 quote for sandblasting and coating and authorized staff to proceed with removal and coordination of reinstallation.
