BLACK & VEATCH | Introduction 1
1.0 Introduction
1.1 BACKGROUND The existing Stratford Water Tower was constructed in 1954 and provides 500,000 gallons of storage and is shown in Figure 1-1 below. The height of overflow on the tank is 132 feet above grade (EL 1174). The Stratford tank is located in the West Hills service area and has a large influence on the pressure within the vicinity of the tank. There is currently equipment from three cellular providers as well as the Douglas County Emergency Services (EMS) mounted on the tank.
Figure 1-1 Existing Stratford Tank
The Stratford Preliminary Alternatives Evaluation Report completed in December 2014 evaluated construction of a new tank as well as rehabilitation of the existing tank. The evaluation found that, at a minimum, major structural and coating repairs were needed to keep the existing tank in service for an additional 20 years. Other necessary upgrades included an OSHA-compliant ladder and climbing system. The tank was initially coated with lead-based paint and has subsequently been encapsulated with another coating system. An economic evaluation determined that the total net present value of performing the repairs and re-coating the tank was similar in life-cycle cost to constructing a new tank. It was also recognized that the process of removing the lead-based paints, in close proximity to the adjoining neighborhood was undesirable. Therefore, it was decided that it

was in the best interest of the City to move forward with replacement of the tank. This memorandum provides a technical review and life-cycle cost evaluation of the various tank styles available for the project.
1.2 NEW TANK LOCATION The current tank is located in the northwest corner of the park as shown on Figure 1-2 below. All of the buildings for the telecommunications equipment are located within a fenced area around the current tank. The southwest corner of the park has several mature trees and playground equipment. The southeast corner of the park includes a small ballfield and backstop. The preferred location for the new tank is the northeast corner of the park which is the least utilized at this time. If the decision is made to move the telecommunications equipment onto a monopole structure rather than the new tank, then the northwest corner of the park is a viable option for the monopole location. Construction of the tank in another location in the park will allow for demolition of the existing tank after the new tank is placed in service. Input from the public is anticipated with regard to the location of the new tank before detailed design commences.

BLACK & VEATCH | Evaluation of Tank Alternatives 3
2.0 Evaluation of Tank Alternatives Four elevated tank styles are available for the current Stratford tank volume of 0.5 million gallons (MG): spheroid, hydropillar, composite, and multi-column (similar to the existing). A limited number of manufacturers fabricate elevated tanks at this capacity and some tank styles are only produced by a single manufacturer. This memorandum evaluates the four alternatives of tanks in two volumes (0.5 MG and 0.75 MG) and their associated life-cycle costs. It is assumed a separate monopole will be constructed for the cellular providers; the Douglas County EMS equipment will be relocated to the new tank.
2.1 ELEVATED TANK ALTERNATIVES AND MATERIALS The following criteria were evaluated for each tank:
◼ Materials of Construction
◼ Methods of Construction
◼ Tank Fabricators
◼ Maintenance
◼ Secondary Uses
◼ Bidding Competitiveness of Alternatives
2.1.1 Materials and Methods of Construction
2.1.1.1 Spheroid
The spheroid elevated tank is an all steel structure with a single column supporting a reservoir at the top. The column is the access tube and encloses the ladder and piping to the reservoir above. The base is a flared cone section which distributes the load and allows room for basic controls, electrical panels, and valves. Access to the reservoir is through a lockable manway in the cone base. Figure 1 in Appendix A shows an isometric view of a typical spheroid elevated tank.
The all steel tank requires interior and exterior coating systems. Compared to the hydropillar and composite alternatives, the spheroid requires a slightly smaller foundation footprint. It is our understanding that McDermott, Caldwell, and Landmark are qualified under the Black & Veatch specification standards to fabricate spheroid tanks capable of storing 0.5 and 0.75 MG.
2.1.1.2 Hydropillar
The hydropillar is an all steel structure with a large diameter column supporting a reservoir at the top. The column is fluted to provide additional structural support. The access ladder, piping, electrical, and controls are all housed inside of the column. The all steel tank requires interior and exterior coating systems.
Figure 2 in Appendix A shows an isometric view of a typical hydropillar elevated tank.
It is our understanding that only McDermott and Caldwell Tanks are qualified under the Black & Veatch specification standards to fabricate hydropillars capable of storing 0.5 and 0.75 MG.
Lawrence, Kansas | STRATFORD WATER TOWER REPLACEMENT – TANK ALTERNATIVES MEMORANDUM
BLACK & VEATCH | Evaluation of Tank Alternatives 4
2.1.1.3 Composite
The composite elevated tank is similar to a hydropillar elevated tank, but utilizes a reinforced concrete column. The exterior of the concrete column generally has an architectural finish achieved by using form liners. The steel reservoir is coated on the interior and exterior. Figure 3 in Appendix A illustrates a typical composite elevated tank.
Currently, only McDermott, Caldwell Tanks, and Landmark Structures are qualified under the Black & Veatch specification standards to fabricate composite tanks capable of storing 0.5 and 0.75 MG.
Landmark Structures and McDermott construct the column by pouring sections, whereas Caldwell Tanks uses a rigid steel jump-form system that utilizes a series of three rings of 4-foot forms. Any slight color variations in Landmark or McDermott columns appear as blocks, where color variations in Caldwell columns appear as a spiral. To minimize the spiral pattern in the concrete, Caldwell Tanks has modified their construction methods to require two concrete trucks unloading at the same time.
2.1.1.4 Multi-Column
The multi-column tank matches the current style of the Stratford tank. The all steel tank requires interior and exterior coating systems. The multi-column tank requires the largest overall tank footprint when compared to the other alternatives.
Our research indicates that, at this time, only Caldwell Tanks offers multi-column tanks capable of storing 0.5 and 0.75 MG.
2.1.2 Evaluation Criteria
2.1.2.1 Coating Maintenance
With a greater amount of coated surface area, the cost associated with maintenance and re-coating of the multi-column, hydropillar, and spheroid tanks is greater than the composite tank. The hydropillar has the most surface area. Composite tanks only require maintenance and re-coating on the interior and exterior of the steel reservoir. Refer to Section 2.2.1.3 below for additional information on surface areas for the different types of tanks.
2.1.2.2 Secondary Uses
Hydropillars and composite tanks have nearly identical secondary uses due to their large diameter columns; an overhead door can be installed, and the interior areas can be used to house control panels such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and other operational equipment which is much preferred from an O&M perspective. They also can be finished for use as maintenance shops, offices, or general storage. Windows and an additional level above the first floor may also be installed. Due to the limited usable area in the cone base of the spheroid tank, overhead doors and finished areas are not available.
2.1.2.3 Tank Dimensions and Foundations
For this analysis, the existing Stratford tank overflow height of 132 ft was used to determine costs. Benefits regarding changes in tank elevation will be assessed during subsequent phases of design. Approximate tank dimensions are summarized in Table 2-1 (on the following page), but will vary slightly with the tank type and fabricator. Tank surface area estimations can be found in Appendix B.

0.75 MG
Tank Diameter 69 66 64 60
Base Diameter 32 30 42 60
While the column supporting the spheroid tank has a smaller diameter, the cone base is nearly the same diameter as the hydropillar and composite bases. Therefore, the foundation system will be very similar and thus cost savings for the spheroid alternative are negligible.
Regardless of the tank selection, a continuous ring footing foundation system is anticipated based on the allowable bearing pressure. The specific foundation system will be developed during detailed design.
2.1.2.4 Bidding Competitiveness of Alternatives
◼ Spheroid Tank – 3 fabricators (McDermott, Caldwell Tanks, and Landmark Structures)
◼ Hydropillar Tank – 2 fabricators (McDermott and Caldwell Tanks)
◼ Composite Tank – 3 fabricators (McDermott, Caldwell Tanks, and Landmark Structures)
◼ Multi-Column Tank – 1 fabricator (Caldwell Tanks)
Because the multi-column tank is only fabricated by one company, selecting this alternative would effectively sole source the tank with no opportunity for competitive bidding. Selecting the spheroid, hydropillar, or composite alternative includes multiple manufacturers, which should result in a competitive bidding environment for the City.
2.2 COST CONSIDERATIONS
2.2.1 Life-Cycle Cost Analysis
The life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) combines the upfront tank construction cost and future maintenance costs for each alternative to evaluate and understand which provides the most cost-effective solution.
The LCCA is based on the present value of future tank maintenance costs. The analysis applies a discount factor to future maintenance costs, depending on when they are scheduled to occur in the future, to give like terms comparison between alternatives. In simplest terms, the present value of a future cost is the amount of money needed in an interest-bearing account at a certain real interest rate (the discount rate).
2.2.1.1 Discount Rate
The analysis used a discount rate of 1.5%, which corresponds to the interest rate less the inflation rate obtained from the Federal Office of Management and Budget (M-19-05, November, 2018). Note
Lawrence, Kansas | STRATFORD WATER TOWER REPLACEMENT – TANK ALTERNATIVES MEMORANDUM
BLACK & VEATCH | Evaluation of Tank Alternatives 6
that the assumed discount rate is a key component to the calculation and given a different inflation or interest rate, the calculation would yield a different result.
2.2.1.2 Analysis Period
To develop the LCCA, the evaluation period was assumed to be 60 years, which includes scheduled maintenance at 20 years and 40 years.
2.2.1.3 Maintenance Cost Development
The re-coating costs were developed based on an average cost per square foot value observation of several recent projects. Recent bid tabulations for tank re-coating projects were evaluated for cost per square foot and averaged. Service life of the coating systems was assumed to last 20 years. The surface areas required to be coated were taken from the Estimating Guide for Surface Areas of Water Tanks by Tnemec Company (Appendix B).
As the regulatory trends continue to attempt to reduce environmental and health effects of sandblasting and spraying elevated tanks, the potential cost impacts for more stringent future regulations should be considered. Since the composite tank has the least amount of coated area, it would be least impacted by future rising coating maintenance costs caused by increased regulation.
2.2.1.4 Capital Cost
Three fabricators were contacted to obtain budget costs associated with the tank and foundation system for the respective styles of tanks they offer at storage capacities of 0.5 and 0.75 MG. The submitted costs were evaluated and modified to ensure equal comparison. Quotes and modifications can be found in Appendix C. The scope for each tank includes tank construction, field coatings, foundation, and basic electrical work. All site modifications that would be similar for each alternative (piping, grading, fence, etc.) have been excluded to provide a more direct comparison of the tank alternatives. Each tank alternative analysis utilizes the average of the submitted budgetary quotes, including a 10% contingency.
2.2.1.5 Results & Analysis
The full LCCA can be found in Appendix D and is summarized in Tables 2-2 through 2-5 below.

Maintenance Cost/Gallon $0.45 $0.50 $1.05 $0.65
Total NPV Cost/Gallon $2.91 $3.23 $4.50 $2.78
All tank alternatives, across the three manufacturers, resulted in a similar reduction in capital cost in relation to capacity as reflected by the similar values in costs per gallon. The hydropillar alternative realized similar cost reductions but was still the highest. For the multi-column tank, the costs were the lowest of the alternatives. Because Caldwell is the only manufacturer that is qualified to manufacturer this style of tank, there is added risk in choosing this tank alternative due to lack of competition. The composite and spheroid costs were very similar in comparison, but the spheroid style tank has a higher maintenance cost due to the higher surface area requiring re-coating.
2.2.2 Criteria Ranking
Based on the previously listed criteria, including the LCCA, Tank Alternative Selection Matrices (Table 2-6 and 2-7) have been developed. Each criterion is rated on a scale of 1 to 4 with 1 being most desirable and 4 being least desirable.

The analysis for both 0.5 and 0.75 MG tanks indicate that the composite tank is the most desirable.
2.2.3 Total Construction Costs
Although site layout has not been completed, a preliminary opinion of probable construction cost (OPCC) has been provided to give a rudimentary overall estimate of the total project construction cost. The OPCC is based on providing a new drive, pipe from the tank to distribution, fencing, existing tank demolition, site electrical, instrumentation, and various other sitework. A 20% contingency was added to this portion of the work. A summary of the preliminary OPCC for 0.5 and 0.75 MG new composite tanks is shown in Table 2-8.
Table 2-8 Preliminary OPCC

Contingency 20% $465,000 $536,000
Total $2,792,000 $3,214,000
Other costs included and assumptions:
• Douglas County EMS equipment relocation; cost of monopole for cellular providers has not been included.
Lawrence, Kansas | STRATFORD WATER TOWER REPLACEMENT – TANK ALTERNATIVES MEMORANDUM
BLACK & VEATCH | Recommendations 9
• Completion of the lower level of the tank column for storage/maintenance, including overhead door, windows, and HVAC provisions.
• Connection to the existing 12” distribution line in the southwest corner of the site.
• Replacement of 12” transite pipe along the west side of the site.
• Connection to storm sewer for the tank overflow.
• Connection to sanitary sewer for the storage area/maintenance drain.
• PAX mixer.
• Minor park improvements including new pedestrian trail.
3.0 Recommendations
3.1 TANK ALTERNATIVE The LCCA shows that the capital cost of the multi-column tank is the lowest, although it requires high maintenance costs. Because Caldwell is the only manufacturer that is qualified to manufacturer this style of tank, there is added risk in choosing this tank alternative due to the lack of competition. The difference in net present value between both a 0.5 and a 0.75 MG composite tank and spheroid tank is negligible. A spheroid tank requires higher maintenance costs and does not have the added benefit of the secondary uses including storage.
The alternative selection matrices resulted in the composite tank alternative receiving the best score in both volumes. Compared to other tank alternatives, composite tanks have the best provisions for mounting cellular antennae. The composite tank alternative ensures the most competitive bidding market, allows for various secondary uses, and is the least exposed to risk of future increases in regulation of maintenance procedures. Based on this information, a composite tank is recommended, regardless of the size selected.
3.2 TANK SIZE As indicated in Tables 2-3 and 2-5, the net present value in cost per gallon for the 0.5 MG and 0.75 MG composite tank alternatives is $3.62 and $2.91, respectively. Based on capital costs, the City could pay 19% more and gain 50% more volume if a 0.75 MG tank is chosen. The water model will be analyzed based on demand scenarios and surrounding infrastructure. This analysis will further indicate advantages of increasing tank volume. Based on cost efficiency, a tank capacity of 0.75 MG is recommended.

RE: Elevated Budgetary Estimate
Lawrence, KS 500 MG Elevated Tank Budgets
Dear Eric:
Per your request, I have developed preliminary budget pricing for the elevated water storage tank opportunity located Lawrence. The present-day budgetary estimate for the tank capacity and height as listed below is as follows: 500 MG x 132’ TCL Waterspheroid® - $1,700,000 (37.5’ Head Range) 500 MG x 132’ TCL Composite (CET) - $2,000,000 (37.5’ Head Range) 500 MG x 132’ TCL Hydropillar® - $2,100,000 (38’ Head Range) Budget Pricing Includes: Site/Project Specific Items Not Included: AWWA D100-11 Tank Cathodic Protection Shop Prime Paint (as noted below) Telemetry Field Finish Paint (as noted below) Piping Outside the Foundation Spread Footing Foundation Altitude Valves Basic Electrical Valve Vault Anchor Bolts Site Work Ladders w/ safety climb Prevailing Wages CS Inlet (304L SS - CET) Pile / Pier Foundation (< 4000 psf soil) CS Overflow to Grade (304L SS - CET) Containment for Blasting and Painting Block Lettering
In reviewing the budget, please note that the estimated cost for the tank foundation is based on 4000 psf allowable bearing pressure and a shallow spread footing design. We have not accounted for any special design considerations due to seismic and wind conditions that would be specific for the site. The actual foundation design will depend upon the findings of the GeoTech for the site being considered for the tank. I have included a $100,000 budget for the Electrical Work on this project based on recent projects, which require SCADA systems with the Tank. The paint system provided in this budget includes a polyamidoamine epoxy interior coating system and a fluoropolymer exterior coating system. Shop prime coatings for the interior and exterior portions of the tank shall be compatible with the appropriate field coating system.

The global steel market has stabilized in recent months. However, due to the fluctuations in the market conditions, it is difficult to predict the stability of the market over the next several months. As a result the budget estimate offered herein is based on present day pricing and availability of materials. Please be sure to add for any site or project specific items that I have excluded above. If you should have any questions please contact me at (815) 439-4008. As requested, I have also attached a life cycle cost analysis based on the three (3) tanks styles budgeted for this project. The life cycle analysis is done for both the 500 MG and the 750 MG tanks sizes. Please note that life cycle analysis does not include for any maintenance associated with the concrete pedestal furnished with the composite tank. In some cases, the Owner may wish to have the concrete support sealed to protect the concrete from the environment. In those cases, the life cycle cost for the composite tank will be increased from that shown in the attached analysis. Thank you once again for your interest in CB&I Storage Tank Solutions.

The big unknown on budgets is always the foundation. The above is based on a shallow spread footing
without rock excavation. Deep pile foundation system pricing can vary greatly depending on the specific pile
type that is utilized as well as the required depth. The range would likely be an additional $150,000 -
$300,000.
Please add money to cover any additional scope such as: high prevailing wages, deep foundation system, valve
vaults, altitude valves, yard piping, site work, fencing, electrical, SCADA, cellular antenna provisions, cathodic
protection, containment (shrouding) during the blasting and painting operation, Fluorourethane paint, mixing
systems, dewatering, rock excavation, etc. Budget price quotes are good for 60 calendar days.
Caldwell will be happy to assist your soil lab with the writing of foundation recommendations by providing all
tank and foundation loads. The analysis also includes wind and seismic considerations. If interested, please
provide me with the tank location (Longitude and Latitude), tank capacity, style, and height as measured from
grade level to the high water elevation and we can provide our soil investigation requirements along with the
tank and foundation loads
Please also find the attached life cycle, net present value analysis that was requested for each capacity of tank.
I also wanted to point out that Caldwell Tanks, Inc. has developed a forming system specifically for the
construction of composite elevated tanks that utilizes locking rigid steel form panels. Our system is made
up of three rings of 4’ form panels that provides a 12’ high form system, however, only 4’ of concrete is
poured per lift therefore eliminating the use of through wall form ties, temporary bulkheads, and drop
chutes or tremies. This allows us to blend two or more concrete trucks when pumping concrete into place,
minimizing pour lines and concrete shading. Our form system provides a well-constructed shaft in full
accordance with the tolerances required in the ACI 371R Guide for the Analysis, Design and Construction of
Concrete-Pedestal Water Towers and AWWA D107. Certain tank contractors push their specifications that
3
attempt to restrict means and methods so they can limit competition in the marketplace by placing a form
height minimum of 6’-0. These requirements do not affect the quality or aesthetics of the concrete pedestal
and ultimately make the water rate-payers fund the premium. Caldwell’s CET’s reflect an attractive
architectural concrete product that is just as good as, or better, than our competitors. Our concrete
pedestal has a uniform consistent appearance with the absence of shading and discoloration, no patched
form tie holes and no grout leakage streaks. We had previously sent John Bertrand a CET binder back in
2014 when we first discussed this project, however, I would be happy to send you our CET binder with
supporting material for your review that goes into great detail of our forming system and CET construction
methods if John no longer has it.
Caldwell’s main focus is safety in the work place and particularly construction sites. We strongly suggest the
wording below to be added to your standard tank specifications to ensure the Owner that only safe and
qualified tank contractors are considered for your project.
“As providing a safe work environment is critical for this project, other contractors, and the community, to
be approved to bid on this project, given the complexity, and risk associated with the work, all tank
contractors are required to have an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) below 0.65 a Total Recordable
Incident Rate (TRIR) below 2.5 for the last three (3) years. Bidders are required to verify the above
requirement by providing with their proposal a statement from their insurance carrier confirming the EMR
requirement, and their last three (3) years of OSHA 300 Logs to confirm the TRIR requirement.”
Also, for standard specifications and background drawings, please
visit: http://www.caldwellwatertanks.com/water-tank-specs-drawings.html
Once you have determined the tank site, please file your request for the FAA permit. The permitting process
can take up to six months and can delay the project if the permit is not obtained by the time filed construction
starts. Here is the link to the FAA website: https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/portal.jsp
Please feel free to contact me at any time if you have questions or need additional information.
Have a great day,
