proposals, staff recommends award of the third party inspection work to Bay Area Coating Consultants of Bakersfield. Past work performed by Bay Area Coating Consultants was also verified to be satisfactory. Budget The majority of funding for this project will be provided by CIP No. 071023, Water Tank Corrosion Repairs, which was originally programmed with $300,000 in fiscal year 2007-08 in the CIP; however $14,125 was used in 2008 for necessary immediate repairs to four water tanks, leaving a balance of $285,875. Staff recommends a 10% contingency for this project as the majority of the coating work was estimated utilizing underwater inspection videos recorded three years ago, resulting in a potential need to perform additional spot repairs and inspections. The project estimated expenditures including contingency totals $316,924 excluding the additive bid item; therefore staff recommends that an additional $31,049 be appropriated from the Repair and Replacement Water Enterprise Fund balance (see Attachment 3 for Funding and Expenditure Summary). The project was bid with a bid alternative to include similar work for Laurel Creek Tank with a bid additive of $83,000. If the contractor successful completes the first three tanks and meets the expectation and time frame of the City, additional appropriation of funding may be requested to support the addition of the bid alternative to this project.
