Upcoming Projects and Council Action • CIP Update – Mr. Peterson gave a quick rundown of the four blocks listed in the table on the last page and said the first large block are project on budget, on track and are doing what they are supposed to. Then referred to the next 3 blocks and said this is where we may have funding shortfalls. Mr. Peterson started with the Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) Replacement (Rec Center high zone to low zone). We received initial quotes that came in around $70,000 which is where we got our budget number from. Given all the change we have had in construction, we think it will go higher but don’t know yet. We are in the process of bidding this work in early 2020. We are also just going out to bid for the Tank Maintenance and this may also go over the $100,000. Mr. Kowar explained the water tank maintenance sounds simple but it’s where we have a couple tanks where tendons are popping out of the concrete.
