IN THE NAME AND BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF MONTICELLO, IOWA
RESOLUTION #16-109
Resolution to Approve Direction with regard
to 2017 Water Tower Repainting Project
WHEREAS, The City Council has determined it necessary and appropriate to move forward with the repainting of the “old” water tower on W. 1st Street, and
WHEREAS, The City Council has considered various options presented by the City Engineer with regard to the project, with different surface preparation procedures and different paint application procedures, both impacting the potential lifespan of the water tower, and
WHEREAS, The City Council finds that the City should move forward with the project in a manner that will bring about the longest lifespan and best result, and, therefore, finds specifically as follows:
That the project should include the full blasting of the interior and exterior of the tank and water tower structure.
That the entirety of the tank and structure should be repainted, using the following product, with estimated product life:
a. Tnemec 700, with a 20 to 25 year anticipated product life at the end of which said product could be washed/blasted with another coat of Tnemec Series 700
That the color of the tower would be “Tank White”, with a bid alternate providing for a different color for the lower half of the tank to reduce the visibility of potential mildew.
That the project would include bid options related to logos, both in design and color
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Monticello, Iowa does hereby direct the City Engineer to proceed with the preparation of plans and specifications related to the repainting of the “old” water tower consistent with the provisions approved by the Council and set forth within the body of this Resolution.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal of the City of Monticello, Iowa to be affixed hereto. Done this 21st day of November, 2016.
