Award of contract for Gypsum Hill Water Tower Painting, Project No. 94-912.
Background
Gypsum Hill Tower was erected in 1958 to serve the water supply requirements of
east Salina. Until the recent completion of the Markley Tower this tank could not
be removed from service for an extended period of time in order to perform major
maintenance work, such as painting.
During the past several years, certain Federal relulations were placed into effect
that resulted in increased costs to remove lead based paints. Field testing of
the old paint on the Gypsum Hill Tower indicated the presence of lead based
paint. Therefore, the painting contractor is now required by the new regulations
to strictly control the air emission quality; the concentration of lead in the
surrounding soil; and the quality of the surface runoff while sandblasting the old
paint from the tank. As a comparison, Sunset Tower, repainted in 1991 prior to
the special Federal lead removal standards, cost $74,480 to complete the
repainting project. This tower is nearly identical in size and shape to the
Gypsum Hill Tower. The current Federal lead removal requirements have increased
the cost of repainting of the Gypsum Hill Tower by over 300%.
The following three (3) valid bids were received for this project on July 11, 1995:
Contractor Bid
Loyd's of Kern Painting Co., Lindsay, OK: $224,400
J.R. Stelzer Co., Lincoln, NE: $245,840
