AGENDA TITLE: Plans and Specifications and Advertisement for Bids for the Blakely Park
Balance Tank and Filtration System Replacement
MEETING DATE: November 15, 1995
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the plans and specifications for the above
project and authorize advertising for bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Last summer, the balance tank for the north pool at Blakely Park
collapsed and the pool has been out of service for the past three
months. The balance tank is used to keep the water level in the
pool at a constant elevation and is needed to prevent the use of
excessive amounts of water. This project will abandon the existing balance tank and install a new one.
Included in this project is the replacement of the filter system for the south pool at Blakely Park. The
existing filter system is forty years old and the steel tanks have corroded to the point where the
Parks Division is constantly repairing leaks and blowouts in the walls of the tanks. The existing filters
will be replaced with a smaller, more efficient system.
The filtration system replacement project was approved in the 1995 Capital Improvement Budget and
the Parks and Recreation Department has funds available to install a new balance tank. A
recommendation on the appropriation of funds will be included in the Council Communication for the
award of this project.
FUNDING: Originally Budgeted: 1995
Budgeted Fund: Capital Improvement Fund
Total Project Estimate: $50,000
Planned Bid Opening Date: December 20, 1.9-9-5-
