Downtown Historic EST Tank Restoration 2019
A. PRELIMINARY and PRE CONSTRUCTION PHASE
OBJECTIVE: The City of Round Rock is committed to the preservation of the
Downtown Water Tower that has been a part of the City s landscape for over 80
years. Until 1986, the tank served the City's main source of water and was then
decommissioned. The 50,000-gallon elevated tank is a 4-point lattice leg tank of
riveted construction approximately 130' tall. Constructed in 1935 by unknown
contractor,there have been a couple of general assessments and a few modifications
to the tank. We propose to conduct preconstruction and construction phase
services to obtain all of the information reasonably possible in determining a
professional approach in the recommendation to the City of Round Rock.
The items of recommended steps in obtaining the objective are listed. These items
will be used for the development of Contract Agreement Exhibits to be submitted at
a later date.
❖ Communicate and work with a Structural Engineer hired by the City of
Round Rock. Obtain instructions and request(if any) from the Engineer as to
the specific scope of comprehensive inspection he would require by us for his
structural evaluation.
•} Conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the tank structure, appendages,
coatings and miscellaneous components. This phase of the scope will be
conducted once a meeting with the Structural Engineer has been held.
Conduct paint analysis of the exterior and interior coating that will include
RCRA metals and general composition of the existing coating for future
coating selection. This phase of the scope will be conducted once a meeting
with the Structural Engineer has been held.
❖ Compile the findings and prepare a report that is specific to any special
request by the Engineer and addresses the tank condition and
recommendation for repairs/modifications. This phase is dependent on the
Structural Engineers Analysis.
❖ Prepare a budget estimate based on the recommendation and approach to
successfully restoring the tank for continued Landmark Status and safe
access onto the tank during the decorative tasks that the City employs. This
phase is dependent on the Structural Engineers Analysis.
