ERIE COUNTY WATER AUTHORITYCounty Water Authority • June 30th, 2021
Contract Type FiledJune 30th, 2021In an effort to take advantage of economies of scale, the Authority prepares refurbishment contracts with multiple tanks, often a mix of Authority owned tanks and Lease Managed tanks. RFP No. 202100021 includes the design and construction services for the refurbishment of six water storage tanks. One tank is owned by the Authority, three tanks are owned by the Town of Boston, and one tank is owned by the Town of Orchard Park. Prior to issuing the RFP, the Engineering Department wanted to get the Cooperative Agreements in place to ensure the Lease Managed Towns were aware of the costs associated with refurbishing their assets. The costs presented in the Cooperative Agreement are based on recent tank inspection reports and a contingency was included to be able to address unforeseen conditions encountered during construction.
