McNabb, P.E., Director of Public Works Stephen P. Swanson, P.E., City EngineerG"�� John A. Smith, Water Production Manager SUBJECT: Elevated Water Tank- South, CP-9735 The Water Resources, Storage and Production Study of the City's water system prepared in 1996 by HARZA Consulting Engineers and Scientists served as the basis for the water system improvement strategy recommended by the City's Department of Public Works to the City Council. This strategy was accepted by the City Council in October, 1996. Staffs strategy included several distribution system improvements to compliment the improvements identified in the HARZA study. Staff identified as an immediate need the construction of an elevated water tank to serve the southern part of the City's water distribution system within the time frame of 1997 to 1999. The south elevated water tank was recommended to meet the need of maintaining water pressure in the southern part of the distribution system during periods of high water demand or brief power outages at the City's water treatment plant(s). This need has been experienced on occasions and further documented in the modeling of the City's water distribution system. This project would � continue to be needed if significant demands of ADM were removed from the system. The Department of Public Works requested proposals from professional engineering firms interested in providing Phase I services for the Elevated Water Tank- South, CP-9735. Phase I is to determine the location, sizing and specifications for the new tank. Five proposals were received in response to the City's request. Proposals were received, listed in alphabetical order, from:
