SUBJECT: Recommendation on the Elevated Water Storage Tank
This memo is in addition to the one from Frank Davis of Bucher Willis & Ratliff (BWR)
concerning the bids received for the elevated water storage tank facility.
The City's existing tank on N.W. 7th Street only holds 500,000 gallons and was constructed in
the 1923. The tank is coming to the end of its service life because the wall thickness has
decreased due to rust, sand blasting and painting.
Please review the tabulation of bids provided by BWR. The low bid cost per gallon for the
2-million gallon overhead tank is $0.897 per gallon. The price per gallon of the 2.5-million
gallon tank is $0.8176 per gallon. The difference in price is $250,000.00 for 500,000 gallons,
which is only $0.50 per gallon.
The low bidder's price for the second level structural floor with access and lighting works out to
be $18.40 per square foot for the 2.5-million gallon tank. The second floor area is approximately
2500 square feet if used for office/administration purpose, or alternatively the potential for
150,000 cubic feet of storage space exist.
I recommend constructing the 2,500,000 gallon elevated water storage tank with a second level
structural floor for a total cost of $2,090,000. The funding for this project will come from the
$9-million dollar water and sewer bond fund.

Dear Mr. Napier:
Bids for the new City of Paris Elevated Water Storage Facility were opened and publicly read
aloud on Tuesday, October 8, 2002, at 3:00 p.m. Two (2) bids were received and a tabulation of
the bids is attached. The bids were received provided for four (4) alternates providing for a 2.5
million gallon tower, a 2.5 million gallon tower and a second structural floor for each of these
two tower sizes. Upon review of the contractor's qualifications and assessment of the bids, we
have concluded that the low bids submitted by Chicago Bridge & Iron Constructors, Inc. to be
acceptable. The contract time specified for this project is 400 calendar days.
It is our recommendation that the City of Paris City Council accepts the low bid for Alternate #2,
for the construction of the 2.5 Million Gallon Composite Tower, in the amount of $2,044,000.00
and award the contract to Chicago Bridge & Iron Constructors, Inc. It is also our

$46,000.00 for construction of a second structural floor
