Council approves design contract for two water storage tanks
Summary
Council authorized a $242,490 professional services agreement with Schaumburg & Polk to design, assist bidding and inspect rehabilitation work on a 1,000,000-gallon elevated tank and a 2,000,000-gallon ground storage tank, with construction to be bid later.
Council considered professional services for rehabilitation of two city water storage tanks: a 1,000,000-gallon elevated tank near Anvil Street and a 2,000,000-gallon ground storage tank on Dorothy Street. Staff said the FY26 budget contains $1.5 million for the elevated tank and $250,000 for design of the Dorothy tank in FY26, with a FY27 CIP forecast that includes $1.25 million for Dorothy, and recommended engaging Schaumburg & Polk for engineering design services under a $242,490 contract.
Public works staff explained that the contract focuses on engineering design, bidding assistance and construction inspection and that construction bidding will return to council for vendor selection. "We're tonight bringing forward a professional service contractor agreement with Schaumburg and Polk," staff said. Council moved to approve the professional services contract; the motion carried by voice vote.
