City staff has been working with consultants and coordinating with the Department of
Health (DOH) on the repair of the Gleneagle Reservoir Roof. CST Covers was awarded the
replacement contract but was unable to obtain performance bonding due to their current
workload. Reece Construction has experience with reservoirs and is qualified to oversee
the reservoir roof installation and provide full bonding capability. Reece will be the prime
contractor with CST Industries as a subcontractor for the installation of the low-rise
aluminum roof. Staff is recommending Council rescind the March 6, 2023 project award to
CSI Industries and award a contract to Reece Construction for the purchase and installation
