� � Aapendix A Prior Council Actions, Auri12, 2001 —to December 15. 2008 Apri12, 2001 —Council approved Resolution R2001-59, approving an agreement with Bainbridge, Gee, Milanski &Associates, Inc. for engineering services for the design of the south elevated water storage tank. This agreement was for a project that would not be funded through the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's (I-EPA) Revolving Loan Program. August 5, 2002—Council received the transmittal of the Strand Water System Master Plan in Study Session. This Master Plan included recommendations to construct a large diameter water main centered on Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive to connect the City water towers at Division Street and Garfield Avenue with the South Water Treatment Plant (SWTP) and install an elevated water tank on the south side of the City to improve low water pressure concerns south of the Lake. December 15, 2003—Council approved Resolution R2003-190 approving an Agreement with BGM for Engineering Services for preliminary engineering for a water distribution main from SWTP to the elevated tanks at a cost of$30,000. The water main improvements were recommended by the Water System Master Plan prepared by Strand in 2002. This project consists of the construction of a 30 inch diameter water main from the SWTP to Garfield Avenue on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive; a 16 inch diameter water main from Martin Luther King Jr. Drive to the Division Street Elevated Tank; and a 16 inch diameter water main from Martin Luther King Jr. Drive to the Garfield Avenue Elevated Tank. Benefits of the project include increasing the pumping capacity and efficiency of the high service pumps at the SWTP; reducing significant losses in pressure within the water distribution system; improving the system pressure in the eastern portion of the City; and improving fire flow capacity in the water system. October 18, 2004—Council approved Resolution R2004-159 approving an Agreement with BGM for Design Services to design a Water Distribution Main from SWTP to Elevated Tanks, City Project 03-23 at a cost of$285,000. Over the course of the detailed design of the project, the following modifications have been identified for incorporation into the project: Redundant high service pump discharge, an alternate routing of the 16 inch water main at Oakland and Cushing, and an addition of pressure transmitters for pressure zone monitoring. Amendment 1 to the April, 2001 Agreement was approved, authorizing a change in scope of services to include a project to be funded by the I-EPA's Revolving Loan Program. February 7, 2005—Council approved Resolution R2005-11, which authorized the purchase of a three (3) acre parcel of land on South Franklin Street Road, a site for the construction of the South Elevated Water Storage Tank, from Greanias Farms for the price of$60,000. Council approved Resolution R2005-12 amending an agreement with BGM for the design of the South Elevated Water Storage Tank for$78,900. The work added by this amendment included changing the scope of work involved with selecting the water tower site and adding the EPA Loan funding requirements. January 22, 2007—Council approved Amendment 2 of the April, 2001 Agreement, which authorized engineering services to develop a single zone of higher water pressure to be served by the proposed new water tank.
