This <br />will be an added truck to the fleet so that there is a truck available for plowing well and <br />water tower drivewaysin the winterandtofreeup an older truck for a seasonal <br />employee to use in the summer. <br /> The lowest quote received for the installation of a tank mixer and to perform <br />maintenance work needed at Freeport Street Water Tower came in at $97,620, <br />exceeding the $90,000 budget. This is due to material & labor cost increases and added <br />scope of work. Our consulting engineer has confirmed that the prices are not unusual <br />and recommends awarding the project to the contractor that provided the lowest <br />quote. The consultant’s recommendationletter is attached. Water in the tower has <br />been drained and the contractor has started work on the tower, which should be <br />completed in about three weeks. <br /> The water operators have been locating and exercising water main valves, performing <br />fire hydrant repairs, and doing preventative maintenance. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br /> August 2023 Pumping by Well <br /> SEH Recommendation Letter - Freeport Water Tower Maintenance <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />99 <br />
