This memorandum and resolution requests approval of Amendment No. 2 to the contract with E & L Construction Group, Inc. for the Structural Repair and Painting of Clarifiers 4 & 5 Project ($139,000.00).
This project replaces the coatings on all structural steel components in Clarifiers 4 and 5 at the Water Treatment Plant. In addition, this project includes replacement of deteriorated handrail, installation of fixed ladders to safely access work areas, repair of a weir ring in Clarifier 5, and removal and replacement of weir plates on the outer launder of Clarifier 5.
