Re: Resolution 25-23 – Accepting the Lowest and Best Bid for the Tartan West
Water Tank Repainting Project, 22-017-CIP
Summary
On February 23, 2023, five (5) bids were received and publicly opened for the Tartan West Water
Tank Repainting Project (Project) which consists of repainting the exterior of the 500,000 gallon
spheroid water tank located at 7160 Glacier Ridge Boulevard and perform small additional repairs.
Please see the attached exhibit for the specific project location. This necessary maintenance ensures
the longevity of the water tank by preventing corrosion.
This Project utilizes technical specifications in place of construction drawings. The technical
specifications can be provided to Council upon request.
The scope of work for this Project was determined from recommendations provided in a 2020
inspection report conducted by Dixon Engineering. Dixon Engineering is also contracted to perform
inspections of the tank painting.
The budgeted funds for the Program in the 2022-2026 Capital Improvements Program (CIP) are
$390,000.00 for the Tartan West Water Tank Repainting (EW172). Funding for the Project is being
re-appropriated in 2023 through the adoption of Ordinance 10-23 on March 27, 2023. The Engineer’s
Estimate for the Project is $207,900.00.
Midwest Tank Management submitted the lowest and best bid of $143,300.00. Staff has reviewed all
bids and a summary of the bids received is listed below.
Two bids were nonresponsive due to missing information and as a result were rejected.

Page 2 of 2
Presently, the work for this Project is expected to commence in May 2023 and be complete within 45
days after the tank is taken out of service. While the tank is out of service, the City of Columbus’
operations control center will ensure there is no interruption of service for customers served by the
water tank. The typical and customary communication methods will be used to convey construction
information to any residents and impacted property owners throughout the duration of this work.
Recommendation
Staff has thoroughly reviewed the bid submitted by Midwest Tank Management. The contractor has
not previously performed work for the City of Dublin; therefore, staff made inquiries with references
of Midwest Tank Management and received positive feedback regarding their work with previous
owners of water tanks being painted by Midwest Tank Management and having similar scopes and
budgets.
Staff recommends Council approval of Resolution 25-23 accepting as lowest and best the bid of
Midwest Tank Management in the amount of $143,300.00 and authorizing the City Manager to enter
into a contract with Midwest Tank Management for this Project.
