Board green-lights Dixon Engineering work to move north water tower project to bid
Summary
The board authorized an agreement with Dixon Engineering to prepare engineering work and public bidding for the north water tower project; Dixon charged $39,950 for engineering services and estimated the overall project roughly in the low $40,000s, with the board approving the move to solicit bids.
The Decatur City Board of Works approved an agreement with Dixon Engineering to perform engineering services and prepare the north water tower project for public bid. Seth summarized prior work by Dixon and said the firm will handle bid documents, welding observation, pre-bid meetings and related construction observation.
Seth said Dixon's fee for engineering services was $39,950 and that the company's engineering estimate for the overall project was discussed in the low $40,000 range. "Their cost for their engineering services is the 39, 950," Seth said during the meeting. Board members approved the recommendation and moved to authorize Dan to sign the contract if required.
Meeting discussion noted that some repairs are more expensive if sandblasting is delayed and that doing the larger repairs now could avoid greater cost later. The transcript records motion and second and a voice approval; no roll-call tally appears in the record. The contract will proceed to bidding once Dixon completes the bid package and related engineering tasks.
