The Parker Road Elevated Storage Tank is located at 830 Lexington Drive. The tank was constructed in 1970 and was last rehabilitated in 2008. The City is developing an elevated storage tank masterplan to create a schedule for the proactive coating maintenance of all 10 elevated storage tanks in the city.  The first phase of the masterplan included inspections of all elevated storage tanks which identified the Parker Road Elevated Storage Tank as a priority for maintenance.

Public Works staff propose to retain Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for the design of the Parker Road Elevated Storage Tank Rehabilitation project. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. was deemed most qualified based on their Statement of Qualifications submission for RFQ No. 2021-0379-XR due to their extensive experience in elevated storage tank design and coating maintenance. The design will include new interior and exterior protective coatings for the tank, repairs to the tank structure, valve replacement, and site access and security improvements.

If this contract is not awarded by City Council, the design and rehabilitation of the Parker Road Elevated Storage Tank will be delayed, leading to increased future construction costs.
