HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of a Contract with American Suncraft Construction Co., in the
Amount of$925,500.00 for the Armstrong Ranch Elevated Storage Tank Rehabilitation
Project, Located at 7200 Trail Lake Drive(COUNCIL DISTRICT 6)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of a contract with American Suncraft
Construction Co., in the amount of$925,500.00 for the Armstrong Ranch Elevated Storage Tank
Rehabilitation Project, located at 7200 Trail Lake Drive.
DISCUSSION:
The Armstrong Ranch two million gallon elevated storage tank was constructed in 1961 and last
rehabilitated in 1995. This elevated tank provides potable water storage and fire protection for areas
in south Fort Worth. The existing coating system is in need of replacement as required to protect the
structural steel from corrosion.
On January 12, 2012, a Request for Proposals (RFP)was issued for several Water Department
projects, including potable water storage tank rehabilitation projects. On February 10, 2012, a total of
five proposals were received from engineering consultants for the tank rehabilitation projects. A Staff
consultant selection committee recommended Tank Industry Consultants, Inc., for the Armstrong
Ranch elevated storage tank rehabilitation project. On July 17, 2012, (M&C C-25735)the City
Council authorized execution of an engineering Agreement with Tank Industry Consultants, Inc., for
the design and preparation of contract documents for the recoating and structural repairs of the
Armstrong Ranch elevated storage tank.
The project was advertised on November 1, 2012 and November 8, 2012 in the Fort Worth Star-
Telegram. On November 29, 2012, seven bids were received. The contract documents stipulated
that if the base bid exceeded $1,000,000, then the deductive alternate would be awarded. The
deductive alternate consisted of spot blasting and power washing the exterior, instead of a full
abrasive blast, prior to the exterior coating application.
