D AT E:July 23, 2018
IN T R O D UC T IO N
T he c apital improvement plan identified three major water projects in the next few years inc luding
refurbishing the water tower located at the Munic ipal C ampus . T he timing of these projects was disc ussed
with the water board in January noting tower work to be c ompleted in 2019.
Due to the spec ialty nature of the tower reconditioning, there are a few selec t contrac tors that actually
complete this type of work. To obtain the best bids and ensure the bes t opportunity to obtain bids from
quality contrac tors it is c ritic al that plans and spec ifications be developed and advertised for bids this fall.
D IS C US S IO N
KLM Engineering, a company that s pecializes in water tower work, has historically provided professional
s ervic es related to ins pection and maintenance recommendations on our water towers . KLM c ompleted the
full tank inspec tion in April and is mos t familiar with the work that will need to be completed during the
refurbishing proc es s . KLM has c ompleted s imilar projec ts for several c ity's including most rec ently S t.
C loud and Eden P rairie.
Due to the spec ialty nature of the work and KLMs knowledge of the tower, s taff s olicited a propos al from
them to develop plans and spec ifications for the project and c omplete the c onstruc tion services. T heir
propos al is attached with a contrac t amount of $116,285 plus fees for antenna inspec tions . T he des ign
s ervic es are a fixed fee and appropriate for the es timated $1.6 million refurbishing projec t. C onstruc tion
s ervic es will be highly dependent on the contrac tor s elected and their s chedule. T his fee is hourly with a not
to exc eed amount. KLM will also coordinate and inspec t the reloc ation and reattac hment of the antennas
located on the tower. T hes e c os ts will be passed through to the c arriers involved.
B UD GE T IMPAC T
T he rec onditioning of the Munic ipal C ampus water tower has been planned to be funded through capital
res erve (fund balance). T he timing of the major water C I P projec ts was adjusted in late 2017 to optimize
water supply during the water tower rec onditioning project. In doing s o, this projec t was pushed up to a
2018/2019 s chedule. T he 2018 budget s hould be amended for the profes s ional s ervic es related to the plan
development.

Farmington, Minnesota 55024
Dear Mrs. Gehler:
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal to provide engineering and
inspection services during the rehabilitation of the 1,500,000 Gallon Water Tower in the
City of Farmington, Minnesota.
KLM’s in-house engineering staff exemplifies the “Rules of Professional Conduct” as
described in chapter 1805 by the Board of Engineering. Our structural engineering
department ensures your water tower will meet AWWA, OSHA, and MDH Codes and
Standards requirements during specification writing and throughout the project.
When it comes to quality inspections on water storage tanks, KLM sets the standard
that other companies try to duplicate. KLM has a staff with the most credentials
associated with AWS welding and NACE coating inspections of water storage tanks in
the five-state area. Ensuring a project is completed according to the project
specifications, codes, and standards is critical for a successful project.
Our dedication to quality gained national attention with two of our tower projects being
recognized as first and second runner up for the 2017 Tnemec Tank of the Year
Contest. Both towers are featured in the 2018 Tnemec Calendar.
City of St. Cloud, Minnesota: Runner- Up City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota: 2nd Runner- Up
Project: KLM & Landmark Structures Project: KLM & Classic Protective Coatings
Copyright 2018 by KLM Engineering, Inc.Page 2
Our inspections are performed by a professional staff with current and proper
credentials. Our inspectors who, work directly under our Structural Engineer and Project
Supervisor are certified as both NACE and AWS inspectors. Each employee takes
ownership of their project. Our professional staff has a combined 150 years of
experience and have successfully completed over 450 rehabilitations of water tanks of
various sizes. The KLM staff is fluent in the current codes and standards for new and
reconditioned water tower projects.
KLM inspectors accept or reject the workmanship of the day. The main reason owners
hire a professional consultant is to protect the owner’s investment. The average tank
without a professional inspection usually needs to be repaired after fifteen years
compared to KLM projects, which are lasting 22 or more years.
No firm receives respect from tank contractors and subcontractors like KLM. Our role is
to provide quality assurance and enforce the specification. KLM is very thorough with
our documentation of what and how the work is being performed each day. KLM’s
reputation of quality is second to none. We stand behind every project we work on.
KLM would like to assist you with our expertise on quality control which will make this a
successful project for many years to come. By selecting KLM, you can be assured that
the project will be completed to your satisfaction.
We look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
KLM Engineering, Inc.

Proposal
1 City of Farmington
Project Understanding
KLM understands the City of Farmington will be rehabilitating the 1,500,000-gallon
water tower (Tower No.1) in 2019. KLM has met with city staff multiple times over the
last several years in anticipation of reconditioning the water tower and keeping the
maintenance timeline separated from any potential new water storage tanks that may
be required to meet the demands of the city.
The current coating system was applied in 1998 when the tower was new, and the
exterior has been partially spot repaired and overcoated since that time. The 2018
evaluation report indicated the time has come to recondition the water tower to protect
the steel structure for continued service.
Key project team members were brought together to review the 2015 and 2018
evaluation reports and records maintained by KLM to prepare the outline of services
required to bring the tower up to current AWWA standards and Minnesota Department
of Health and OSHA codes.
Benefits to the City of Farmington
Today’s protective coating systems are designed to last 20-25 years with only minor
maintenance. Tight project specifications and full-time inspections give the coating
systems the opportunity to realize their intended service life.
KLM proposes to prepare a specification package specifically designed for water
tower reconditioning. Our experience has shown that the more comprehensive the
specification is, the more likely it is that the project is completed on time, on budget,
with quality workmanship. The KLM specifications will mitigate requests for change
orders during reconditioning.
Welding and full time NACE Coating Inspections during reconditioning assures that
the work performed by the contractor is in conformance with the specifications, as to
maximize its life expectancy. KLM’s inspectors monitor workmanship during all
phases of work to verify the contractor’s work meets the specification. Utilizing this
process, maintenance costs will be reduced by decreasing the number of
reconditioning cycles over the life of the tank.
Our project administration and inspection services provide a buffer between the
project specifications and the real-world challenges that can negatively affect project
performance. To initiate the project correctly, KLM’s project management assures
that a qualified contractor is retained at an appropriate cost.

Reconditioning of: 3,000,000 Gallon Hydropillar
•Dates of Service: 2013 Reconditioning, 2015 Warranty Inspection
•Conditions & Services: This tower is one of the largest elevated water storage tanks
in the country. The water tower project included a pre-assessment of the conditions,
including an updated engineer cost estimate. Plans and specifications were approved
as well as qualified contactor during the bid process. KLM worked with the contractor
on numerous submittals including coating selection, drawing reviews, scheduling and
more. KLM’s Antenna Division worked with several carriers to coordinate efforts of
relocating cellular equipment to temporary locations during the reconditioning of the
tower. KLM conducted weekly meetings on site, to synchronize the efforts of the city,
engineer and contractor(s) as the project commenced. The project was successful
being completed on time and within budget. The warranty ROV inspection found
virtually no coating failures on over 100,000 square feet of surface area.
City of Eden Prairie, MN Market Center Tower
Reconditioning of: 2,000,000 Gallon Composite
•Dates of Service:2016 Reconditioning
•Conditions & Service:The Market Center Tower is an iconic structure for the City,
with working clocks on the main column. Given the high profile, size, and challenging
location of this tower, the City Manager (Rick Wahlen) performed detailed interviews
with each bidding consultant and their staff, to select the best qualified firm to provide
the engineering and inspection services required by the City. As the awarded
consultant, KLM provided design services, construction management, full time AWS
welding and NACE coating inspections throughout the duration of the project. Rick was
instrumental in the project from the beginning of pre-construction to the final walk
through and close out, including personally climbing the tower regularly to confirm the
project had met his standards. Given the tight confines of the jobsite, KLM conducted
weekly meetings locally to update the neighboring businesses and residents as the
project commenced. The project was successful, being completed on time and within
budget. 2017 Tnemec Tank of the Year 2nd Runner Up.
City of Mendota Heights, MN Lexington Ave. Tower
Reconditioning of: 2,000,000 Gallon Tower
•Dates of Service: 2010 Reconditioning, 2012 Warranty Inspection, 2013 Antenna
Engineering Services, 2015 Antenna Engineering Services
•Conditions & Services: As the approved consultant for the Lexington Avenue Tower,
KLM completed an evaluation for preparation of the specification for reconditioning of
the tower. This project presented obstacles as it needed full containment per MPCA
requirements due to the existing coating containing chromium. KLM worked hand in
hand with the MPCA to monitor air quality during the removal of the coating. In
addition, KLM worked with the FAA on height restrictions and light obstruction as the
tower was in the flight pattern of the Minneapolis Airport. This reconditioning project
was successfully completed to client’s request. The Lexington Tower can be observed
from 494/Highway 35 and the airport daily.

SUBJECT: Water Conservation Programs
DATE: July 18, 2018
INTRODUCTION
Farmington received a Source Water Protection Grant from the Minnesota Department of Health.
The grant is aimed to protect the city’s water supply and promote water conservation by
implementing smart watering and irrigation practices by providing an incentive to upgrade
outdated irrigation controllers.
DISCUSSION
During the summer months’ water consumption spikes, a majority of this water is used
for irrigation of lawns. Improper use of irrigation systems and over watering are common
problems that leads to water being wasted.
WaterSense certified controllers approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
have soil moisture sensors that only activate when needed, reducing water consumption.
The city will be reimbursing residents for updating their old controllers to EPA approved
sensors. The program will only be available for residents with old clock irrigation systems.
As part of this water conservation movement the city is also participating with Minnesota
Energy Resources to promote water/natural gas conservation kits. The kits, which provide
low water heads for showers and faucets will be provided at no costs to residents.
BUDGET IMPACT
$2,000 from water education plan will be used as a local match for the $5,000 grant provided
by the Department of Health.
Action Requested
No action requested, informational only

Source Water Protection Grant
WaterSense Smart Irrigation Cost Share Program
To sustain groundwater resources, the city of Farmington will be participating in a cost share program
with residents to upgrade irrigation controllers. The WaterSense certified irrigation controllers are
approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to better manage our water resources by
reducing irrigation.
As part of the program the city will be refunding residents for the cost of upgrading to EPA WaterSense
approved irrigation controllers.
Funding
The program is being funded through a cooperative grant with the MN Department of Health and a local
match by the city. Funding will be available on a first come first serve basis, once current funding has
been used the program will be suspended until further funding becomes available.
Eligibility
In order to be eligible for the program the following must be met:
• Proof of residency in Farmington
• Must have an existing irrigation system with a clock and preset schedule.
• The program is only available to residents looking to upgrade older systems. Systems
that be being installed currently are already required to meet these standards.
• One-time reimbursement for the life of the program
Reimbursement
In order to be eligible for reimbursement
• The old controller must be brought in and left with the city
• Only one controller will be allowed per household
• A copy of the receipt along with EPA WaterSense approval will need to be submitted
for the city’s records.
• The city will reimburse the cost of the new EPA WaterSense approved controller (up to
$150.00)
