East Side Water Tower, ENG0173 New Business
PREPARED BY: Andrew J. Brotzler, PE, Director of P • is
Works/City Engineer • / AGENDA NO. ,
ATTACHMENTS: Proposal from KLM Engineering, Inc. APPROVED BY: 04.1
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Authorize the Execution of the KLM Engineering,
Inc. Proposal for Professional Services for the East Side Water Tower.
ISSUE
Staff is requesting City Council to review and authorize the execution of the attached proposal from KLM
Engineering, Inc. (KLM) to provide design and inspection services for the interior reconditioning and
structural repairs of the East Side water tower.
BACKGROUND
In accordance with the Public Works Quality Standards, the East Side water tower is scheduled for interior
reconditioning in 2015. This tower has not received any significant reconditioning since its original
construction in 2001-2002. In order to assess the current condition of the tower, the City hired KLM to
perform an inspection of each tower in 2014. The results of that inspection confirm the need for
reconditioning on the interior of the East Side tower in 2015. In addition to the reconditioning, there are
numerous structural repairs that are necessary to correct issues created when the tower froze and began
leaking last February.
The estimated cost for the reconditioning and structural repairs to the East Side tower is $125,000 -
$175,000; therefore, a contractor will be selected through a public bidding process. Staff is recommending
the design, administration and inspection of this project be managed by KLM as outlined in the attached
proposal. The estimated total fee of$31,400 for the professional services provided by KLM will be
funded from the city's Water Utility Fund.
SUMMARY
Staff is requesting City Council authorization for the execution of the KLM Engineering, Inc. proposal for
professional services for the East Side water tower.

RE: Proposal to Prepare Specifications and Provide Inspection Services During the
Interior Wet Reconditioning of the 500,000 Gallon Elevated Water Tower Located in
Rosemount,Minnesota.
KLM Project# MN1683—East Side Tower
Dear Mr. Howe:
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal for specification preparation and
inspection services during structural repairs, surface preparation and coatings application for the
interior on the above referenced tank.
Potential Benefits to the City of Rosemount
• We propose to prepare a specification package specifically designed for water storage tank
reconditioning. Our experience has shown that the more comprehensive the specification is,
the more likely it is that the project is completed on time, on budget, and with quality
workmanship. The KLM specifications will reduce the occurrence of contractor requests for
change orders during reconditioning. Without complete information, contractors can claim
that unknown conditions are present that were not included in the bidding specifications.
• Today's protective coating systems are designed to last 20 plus years with only minor
maintenance. Tight project specifications and full-time inspections give the coating systems
the opportunity to realize their intended service life.
• Inspection by KLM's NACE Coating Inspectors during coating reconditioning ensures that
the work performed by the contractor is in conformance with the specifications, so that it can
maximize its life expectancy. KLM's inspectors monitor workmanship during all phases of
work and approve the contractor's work. Utilizing this process, maintenance costs will be
reduced by decreasing the number of reconditioning cycles over the life of the tank.
