Re: Resolution 09 -11 —Blazer Water Tower Repainting Bid Acceptance
Project Update
In January 2011, staff advertised to receive bids for the repainting of the Blazer water tower. Per
these documents, staff conducted a pre -bid meeting, which was well attended by perspective
contractors for this project and provided valuable feedback to staff. Based on the information
learned and with the concurrence of the Finance and Washington Township Fire Department staff,
staff issued several addenda to the bidding documents and scope of the project.
The Washington Township Fire Department currently leases a portion of the interior space of the
water tower for Fire Station 95. Staff met with Washington Township Fire Chief Woo regarding
this project, and it was determined the station personnel will not be able to operate from this
location during the project. We are working with Duke Realty to secure an office suite from which
the medic service will operate during the daytime hours. For the overnight hours, the Fire
Department staff will operate out of Station 91 on Shier Rings Road.
This is the first re- coating of the entire exterior on the water tower since the initial installation of
the steel water tank structure in the mid- 1990's. On February 28, 2011, City Council approved
Resolution 08 -11 waiving the competitive bidding requirements for the material portion of this
project. This adjustment to the bid documents was made through an addendum and has been
accurately represented in the bid proposal recommended below.
Bid Acceptance Background
On Tuesday, March 8, 2011, eight (8) bids were received, publicly opened and read for the Blazer
Water Tank Repainting Project. Staff has reviewed all bids. The Engineer's estimate was
$675,000. The 2010 budgeted funds for construction of this project are $500,000 (EW0102). MK
Painting, Inc. submitted the lowest and best bid of $532,000.
During the development of the specifications for this project, staff determined that using a rigid
containment system during the blasting project would eliminate damage to the finished interior
space of the fire station. This type of system includes scaffolding on the outside of the tower that
will continually support the tent -like material to contain the removed paint and blasting material.
This is different from the system used last year for the recoating of the Avery Road water tower,
which was a flexible system that was raised and lowered via a pulley system assembled on the

inside of the tower. This rigid containment system was not included in the estimate used for the the
Five Year Capital Improvements Program.
Based on discussions with the Finance Department, there are sufficient funds available in the Water
Fund to support this additional cost. Staff will monitor the funding programmed for 2011 from the
Water Fund to determine if additional appropriations are needed.

Staff has thoroughly reviewed the MK Painting, Inc. bid. The City has previous experience with
MK Painting, Inc.; however, staff did contact several of the references provided as required in the
bid proposals and has found favorable comments regarding their work. They have painted water
towers in the following locations: City of Marquette, Michigan; City of Kent, Ohio; Universal City,
Texas; City of Huber Heights, Ohio; and Howard County, Maryland.
We anticipate the work to begin in April and be completed in approximately ten to twelve weeks,
which is well within the contract completion requirement of June 30, 2011. Staff will retain the
services of a third party inspection firm to assist staff in determining compliance with the contract
specifications and assuring a quality project.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 09 -11, accepting the bid of MK Painting, Inc. in the
amount of 5532,000 as the lowest and best bid, and authorizing the City Manager to enter into a
contract with MK Painting, Inc. for this project.
