From: Adams, Troy <br /> Sent: Monday, April 01, 2013 3:07 PM <br /> To: Fischer, Suzanne <br /> Subject: Freeport Water Tower <br /> Suzanne, <br /> The Freeport Water Tower will be rehabilitated this spring. Depending on weather, this project is <br /> scheduled to begin within the next week or two and scheduled to be completed this June. In addition to <br /> new City of Elk River logos included as part of the base bid, ERMU had an add alternate for two Powered <br /> By Nature logos. This had been done per the request of City staff. Attached is a detail for the PBN logos <br /> and their general locations, East and West. The PBN logos will be approximately 9.5'tall by 25.5' <br /> wide. This dimension is set to be proportional to the maximum sized City of Elk River logo the tower can <br /> accommodate. The typical life expectancy for water tower paint is between 10 and 15 years. At that <br /> time the Utilities will be planning to repainted the tower. <br /> The add alternate bid for the PBN logos is$6,000 total for two logos. The contractor has asked if the <br /> logo can be painted solid in lieu of the weathered look because there is concern on their part if they will <br /> be able to perfectly replicate the weathering. The PBN logo is part of the City brand and falls outside the <br /> responsibility of the Utilities. It is recognized by the Utilities Commission that this may be more than the <br /> EDA is able to spend on the logos. As a show of support for the City brand,the Utilities Commission has <br /> agreed to split the cost of the PBN logos if the EDA is unable to pay the full cost. Please let me know if <br /> the EDA is interested in having the PBN logo on the tower and whether or not they would allow a solid <br /> PBN logo in lieu of the weathered logo. Also, please let me know if the EDA would need the Utilities to <br /> split the cost. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Troy <br /> Troy Adams, P.E.
