THE CITY OF MONTICELLO, IOWA
RESOLUTION #2024-102
Approving water tower hatch repairs and to hire Viking Industrial, to perform the necessary repairs/improvements not to exceed $6,000
WHEREAS, The City Water/Wastewater staff noticed a leak in the water tower hatch, after the water tower painting was completed. To alleviate any safety concerns and allow the hatch and seal to be inspected, the tower was drained and taken out of service, and
WHEREAS, To make sure this problem was not the fault of Tank Pro, who did the painting work, we asked Viking Industrial to inspect the hatch. Upon inspection, it was determined that the gasket has deteriorated and is no longer sealing well, which is not unusual as the hatch had not been opened in 15+ years, and
WHEREAS, Viking was asked to provide the quote in the interest of saving time and restoring the tank to service. The quote is not to exceed $6,000 and includes re-sanitizing the tower, which is required any time the hatch is opened, and
WHEREAS, The Water/Wastewater Superintendent and City Administrator recommends that Viking Industrial be hired to perform the work associated with this project, and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City of Monticello, through its’ City Council, in session this 1st day of July, 2024 does hereby approve of the proposed project as recommended by the Water/Wastewater Superintendent and authorizes the hiring of Viking Industrial to perform the necessary repairs/improvements.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal for the City of Monticello, Iowa to be affixed. Done this 1st day of July, 2024.
