Discussion:
This project rehabilitated the existing 2.5 million gallon potable water reservoir located at 14350
Danielson Street in the Business Park. Improvements included the installation of a temporary tank,
recoating the interior of the tank, painting the exterior, repairing rafters, modifying the inlet and outlet
piping, modifying lateral bracing, and updating the cathodic protection system.
There were two Change Orders for this project which reduced the contract amount by $2,860.00. The
Change Orders included delaying the disassembly of the temporary tank, and the reduction in
quantity of three items due to existing field conditions. The final contract amount is $1,126,764.00.
