Appendix A <br /> Prior Council Actions April 2, 1002-December 15,2008: <br /> April 2,2001 —Council approved Resolution R2001-59, approving an agreement with Bainbridge, <br /> Gee, Milanski &Associates, Inc. for engineering services for the design of the south elevated water <br /> storage tank. This agreement was for a project that would not be funded through the Illinois <br /> Environmental Protection Agency's (I-EPA) Revolving Loan Program. <br /> August 5,2002—Council received the transmittal of the Strand Water System Master Plan in Study <br /> Session. This Master Plan included recommendations to construct a large diameter water main <br /> centered on Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive to connect the City water towers at Division Street and <br /> Garfield Avenue with the South Water Treatment Plant (SWTP) and install an elevated water tank <br /> on the south side of the City to improve low.water pressure concerns south of the Lake. <br /> December 15, 2003—Council approved Resolution R2003-190 approving an Agreement with <br /> BGM for Engineering Services for preliminary engineering for a water distribution main from <br /> SWTP to the elevated tanks at a cost of$30,000. The water main improvements were <br /> recommended by the Water System Master Plan prepared by Strand in 2002. This project consists <br /> of the construction of a 30 inch diameter water main from the SWTP to Garfield Avenue on Martin <br /> Luther King Jr. Drive; a 16 inch diameter water main from Martin Luther King Jr. Drive to the <br /> Division Street Elevated Tank; and a 16 inch diameter water main from Martin Luther King Jr. <br /> Drive to the Garfield Avenue Elevated Tank. Benefits of the project include increasing the <br /> pumping capacity and efficiency of the high service pumps at the SWTP; reducing significant losses <br /> in pressure within the water distribution system; improving the system pressure in the eastern <br /> portion of the City; and improving fire flow capacity in the water system. <br /> October 18, 2004—Council approved Resolution R2004-159 approving an Agreement with BGM <br /> for Design Services to design a Water Distribution Main from SWTP to Elevated Tanks, City <br /> Project 03-23 at a cost of$285,000. Over the course of the detailed design of the project,.the <br /> following modifications have been identified for incorporation into the project: Redundant high <br /> service pump discharge, an alternate routing of the 16 inch water main at Oakland and Cushing, and <br /> an addition of pressure transmitters for pressure zone monitoring. Amendment 1 to the April, 2001 <br /> Agreement was approved, authorizing a change in scope of services to include a project to be <br /> funded by the I-EPA's Revolving Loan Program. <br /> February 7,2005—Council approved Resolution R2005-11, which authorized the purchase of a <br /> three(3) acre parcel of land on South Franklin Street Road, a site for the construction of the South <br /> Elevated Water Storage Tank, from Greanias Farms for the price of$60,000. Council approved <br /> Resolution R2005-12 amending an agreement with BGM for the design of the South Elevated <br /> Water Storage Tank for$78,900. The work added by this amendment included changing the scope <br /> of work involved with selecting the water tower site and adding the EPA Loan funding <br /> requirements. <br /> January 22, 2007—Council approved Amendment 2 of the April, 2001 Agreement, which <br /> authorized engineering services to develop a single zone of higher water pressure to be served by <br /> the proposed new water tank. <br /> Page 15 <br />
