INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
�M?/
TO: VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL J. CASSADY
FROM: DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: JANUARY 28, 2016
SUBJ: CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR RESERVOIR 17 ROOF
REPLACEMENT ($65,100)
BACKGROUND
Replacement of the collapsed roof on the water storage reservoir adjacent to Booster Pumping
Station 17 (1480 North Elmhurst Road) requires construction engineering and quality control
skills staff does not possess. In particular, requisite skills include knowledge of steel water
storage tank design, structural steel assembly, welding, and water storage tank coating
systems.
Staff requested a proposal for these services from Tank Industry Consultants of Indianapolis,
Indiana (TIC). TIC is a highly recognized national engineering firm specializing in the design,
maintenance and repair of steel storage tanks. The firm has completed number of successful
tank rehabilitation projects for the village including the recent elevated tank rehabilitation (2014)
and replacement of the collapsed roof on Reservoir 16 in 2010.
PROPOSAL
TIC prepared a proposal for specified construction engineering and quality control work
necessary to facilitate replacement of the roof at Reservoir 17 in an amount not to exceed
$65,100. This amount is for full-time on-site monitoring during the estimated 15 -week project
period.
DISCUSSION
Staff finds that TIC is well-qualified to deliver the specified services. In fact, their experience
facilitating the replacement of a similar roof at Reservoir 16 makes them somewhat uniquely
qualified for this project.
TIC's cost proposal ($65,100) includes over 600 hours of on-site construction supervision by an
experienced tank engineer at the rate of $108 / hour. It is the opinion of staff that the hours
allotted are sufficient for the scope of work involved and the rate is competitive.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the Village Board accept the proposal from Tank Industry Consultants of
Indianapolis, Indiana to provide full-time construction engineering for the Reservoir 17 Roof
Replacement Project in an amount not to exceed $65,100.
