EQ v Goon`� JAMES W. SHIRA,P.E. CITY ENGINEER/UTILITIES DIRECTOR 150 N.LAKESHORE DRIVE•OCOEE,FLORIDA 34761 PHONE(407)656-2322 EXT. 142•FAX(407)656-7835 MEMORANDUM DATE: May 28, 1999 TO: The Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners FROM: David A. Wheeler, P.E. Assistant City Engineer/Utilities Director SUBJECT: Jamela Water Treatment Plant Elevated Storage Tank Repair Award of Services Authorization 99-005 for Engineering Services The Water Master Plan recommended that the Jamela Water Treatment Plant be taken off-line upon completion of the new water main installations in the northern section of the City. The Master Plan also recommended that the elevated storage tank be taken out of service and that a booster pump station be constructed to provide adequate pressure and flows in peak demand periods in the hill section of the service area. The Engineering Department concurs with that plan only if the elevated storage tank has no more useful life. The elevated storage tank provides 500,000 gallons of potable water at a sufficient elevation to match the water pressure grade line of the proposed booster pump station. This water is also available for use without interruption should their be a power outage and a momentary delay in the emergency power generator startup at the Forest Oaks Water Treatment Plant or a more catastrophic failure. I essence keeping the elevated storage tank provides redundancy for maintaining adequate pressure and flow for service to our customers. The elevated storage tank was erected in 1973 as the finished water storage for the service area surrounding the Jamela Water Treatment Plant. Due to the age of the structure, a very thorough inspection is needed to determine the structures continued useful life and the nature of repairs that may be needed to extend the use of this necessary structure. The elevated tank is obviously in need of new paint on both the inside and outside and the water operations staff has identified some other potential problems. The Engineering Staff contacted Hartman & Associates, Inc. (HAI) about performing the inspection and structural analysis of the structure. HAI has expertise in the rehabilitation of THE PRIDE OF WEST ORANGE PI-U elevated steel storage tanks; and therefore, Staff worked solely with HAI to determine the detailed scope and cost proposal to perform the work. HAI has teamed with Tank Industry Consultants, Inc. (TIC) to perform the work. TIC is a specialist in the field of steel tank inspections and evaluations; a brief resume of their firm is included in the proposal. The proposal provides a scope and budget to perform work from the inspection/investigation phase through detailed design and into construction inspection of the repairs. Staff requested this detail to provide a concept of the possible total cost, however the detail of the scope of work may change depending upon the inspection/investigation phase. Staff is only recommending performing the "Tank Inspection and Preliminary Design Phase" task with the adders for "Dry Evaluation, Washout and Disinfection" and "Adder for Structural Evaluation" as listed in the scope of services. The Dry Evaluation, Washout and Disinfection sub task will only be used if the HAI team is not able to adequately inspect the tank while it is full of water. The Structural Evaluation sub task will need to be performed only if the Tank Inspection determines that the tank has a continued useful life. The cost to perform this work is $20,000.00. If the tank is found to have a significant number of years of useful life remaining, the detailed design and construction inspection portions of the proposal will be reviewed to ensure that they adequately cover the required repairs and that the budget is adjusted, either up or down, appropriately to cover the revised scope of services. If the tank is found to be structurally deficient and the useful has expired, a revised scope of services will be developed to demolish the tank. The revised scope and budget will be brought to the City Commission for authorization of award when the Tank Inspection and Preliminary Design Phase is completed. Staff agrees with the submitted proposal from Hartman & Associates, Inc. and feels that this a reasonable amount for this "Tank Inspection and Preliminary Design Phase"task with the adders for "Dry Evaluation, Washout and Disinfection" and "Adder for Structural Evaluation" as listed in the scope of services work. This work will be funded from the 1997 Utility Bond Issue. I recommend that the City Commission authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute Services Authorization No. 99-005 with Hartman & Associates, Inc. in the not-to-exceed amount of $20,000.00. attachment SERVICES AUTHORIZATION UNDER CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING AGREEMENT TANK INSPECTION and PRELIMINARY DESIGN PHASE SERVICES for JAMELA WATER TREATMENT PLANT ELEVATED STORGAE TANK REPAIR This Service Authorization,No. 99-005, hereinafter called SA99-005, as of this day of , 1999, shall constitute an Addendum to the Continuing Professional Consulting Agreement between the City of Ocoee, Florida (the CITY) and Hartman & Associates, Inc.

SCOPE OF SERVICES AND.FEE PROPOSAL FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR THE CITY OF OCOEE, FLORIDA PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS AND COATING OF THE ELEVATED WATER STORAGE TANK LOCATED AT THE JEMELA WATER TREATMENT PLANT SCOPE OF SERVICES This Scope of Services is based on a telephone conversation in early April, 1999 by Mr. David A. Wheeler, P.E. requesting this proposal, and a follow-up meeting on April 21, 1999, to discuss the various options available offered by the tank inspection subconsultant. This proposal is a result of the understanding mutually agreed to at this meeting. Design Team . HAI proposes the following design team to perform the various elements of the proposed Scope of Services. Project Management, Contract Documents, Technical Specifications and Drawings and Construction Services Administration - Hartman&Associates, Inc. (HAI) Tank Inspection, Structural Tank Analysis and Repair Design, Technical Specification Assistance and Tank Repair and Coating Inspection - Tank Industry Consultants, Inc. (TIC) Electrical Design - EMI Consulting Specialties (EMI) In addition to the Scope of Services described herein, also please refer to the detailed Description of Services prepared by TIC dated April 16, 1999. Tank Inspection and Preliminary Design Phase The interior of the tank will be insPected while the tank is full using underwater tank inspection techniques. The exterior of the tank will be inspected using rigging and rappelling down the outside of the tank. Metal loss measurements and coating thickness measurements will be taken, structural deficiencies will be noted and the existing coating will be evaluated. Based on the field evaluations and measurements a preliminary design report will be written including all observations made, repair recommendations, alternative repair methods, life cost analysis, repair cost analysis with tank life expectation(with and without repairs), and tank replacement cost. JRV/dt/c orre sp/o co a e.jrv.do c HAI1i98-037.M8 1 051799 If sediment or sludge buildup in the tank bowl prevents a thorough evaluation, HAI will recommend to the City that the sediment be removed prior to finalizing the tank evaluation. If the tank can be taken out of service, a sediment wash out and dry evaluation will be performed. This method is more economical. If the tank cannot be taken out of service temporarily for sediment removal and dry evaluation, the sedimentation will be removed by wet removal methods and the tank bowl evaluation will be completed by wet inspection methods. During the tank inspection, if structural deficiencies are observed which may affect the structural integrity and overall life of the tank, or if it is questionable whether the tank can withstand sustained hurricane winds of 120 mph, HAI will recommend that a complete structural evaluation be performed for the tank. This evaluation will include a structural analysis for compliance with current structural standards and codes. This structural evaluation will only be performed if authorized by the City. Final Design Phase The final design task will include preparation of construction drawings, technical specifications and contract documents for improvements and coating of the Jamela elevated water storage tank. At this time the existing condition of the tank is not fully known. Therefore, it is not known what repairs or improvements may be necessary to bring the condition of the tank up to current standards or codes. Some improvements requested by the City have been included in the final design, such as an extended overflow pipe and an impressed current cathodic protection system. Due to the unknown design level required, the fee for Final Design will be based on a Wage Cost Multiplier with a maximum not-to-exceed fee. Documents shall include drawings and specifications covering: (1) General drawings including cover sheet, index of drawings, key and location map(s) and abbreviations. (2) Site drawing to depict existing site conditions that will effect contract conditions of the Project. (3) Prepare drawings for structural repairs and modifications required for the elevated water storage tank. Modification drawings shall include a new steel overflow pipe from the overflow nozzle at the base of the tank bowl to within two (2) feet of the ground with a concrete splash"pad and stainless steel screen on the end of the,overflow pipe. (4) Technical specifications will be prepared in CSI format for the following: tank structural repairs and upgrades; lead abatement; tank containment during sand blasting and coating; tank surface preparation and coating specification; environmental protection based on prebid site conditions; and an impressed current cathodic protection system. In addition, general requirements related to JRV/dt/corresp/o co ee.j rv.do c HAI#98-037.M8 2 051799 the tank renovations and coating will be prepared for inclusion into the bid document. (5) Electrical drawing for power service to the proposed impressed current cathodic protection system. The design drawings for this Project will be produced using AutoCAD version 14. The contract documents and technical specifications will be produced using Microsoft Word Office 95. Computer compact discs containing all drawing and specification files will be transmitted to the City at the completion of the Project. Attachment A includes a Preliminary List of Design Drawings. HAI will provide the City with three (3) copies of documents and will attend review meetings at 60 and 95 percent complete stages of the project. Review meetings will be held following the City's review of each submittal stage, to discuss concerns and/or comments that the City may have regarding each submittal. HAI will prepare for review and approval contract agreement forms, general conditions, supplementary conditions, bid forms, invitations to bid and instructions to bidders, and will assist in the preparation of other related documents. All comments received from the City following the 60 and 95 percent submittal reviews will be incorporated into the 100 percent drawing and project manual submittal in preparation for release for bidding. At the 100 percent submittal stage, HAI will provide the City with an opinion of probable construction costs based on the final contract documents. Although this construction cost estimate will be prepared using standard and accepted construction estimating methods, it may not reflect final construction costs. This estimate should only be considered as HAI's opinion of probable construction costs. HAI cannot control contractor bidding practices, market conditions nor other economic factors. Bidding Phase • HAI will provide the City with one (1) set of 24 inch by 36 inch, 3 mil, single mat mylar original drawings and one set of unbound contract documents for bidding the project. The City will be responsible for printing of bid sets, advertising the project for bidding, sending.out bidding documents to prospective bidders, and holding the bid opening. HAI does not intend on attending pre-bid meetings or the bid opening. JRV/dt/corre sp/o co a e.jrv.do c HAI#98-037.M8 3 051799 • • During the bidding process, HAI will assist the City in preparing written responses to written questions received during the bidding process. HAI will also assist the City in the preparation of any addenda necessary for the original design during the bidding process. • HAI will review the bids received and will provide a written response to the City ' regarding HAI's review with a recommendation for award of the Project. Construction Phase • HAI will attend and participate in a Pre-Construction Conference to be conducted by the City with the selected Contractor. • HAI will review shop drawings or other required Contractor submittals up to two (2)times per submittal for general conformance with the Contract Documents. • HAI will assist the City in providing written responses to Requests For Information (BFI's) from the Contractor. HAI will also assist the City in review of Requests For Proposed Changes to the Contract Documents prepared by HAI which will result in contract change orders. • During ongoing construction activities the HAI project manager will visit the tank site on a biweekly basis. HAI will provide a brief written report to the City regarding these construction observations. The HAI project manager will visit the project site on a monthly basis to meet with the City representative(s) and the Contractor for the monthly progress meeting. • . The HAI project manager and the TIC resident project representative will conduct substantial and final,completion walk throughs for the Project to determine if the work has been completed in substantial accordance with the Contract Documents. The EMI electrical engineer will visit the site during the substantial completion walk through to review the electrical construction work required to install the impressed current cathodic protection system. HAI will prepare a composite punch list as a result of these walk throughs. • At the completion of construction following the disposition of all punch list items and upon the submission of all project close out items and documentation by the Contractor, HAI will provide certification of the Project to the City. The Certification will be based on. the limited HAI biweekly site visits, the TIC resident project representative observations, and the substantial and final project walk throughs and will state to the knowledge, information and belief of the certifying engineer that the Project has been completed in substantial compliance with the approved Contract Documents,is in accordance with commonly accepted engineering procedures, is consistent with applicable standards of engineering practice and is not a guarantee or warranty, either expressed nor implied. It will JRV/dt/corre sp/o co a e.j rv.d o c HAI#98-037.M8 4 051799 be the responsibility of the City to pay for bacteriological testing for clearance of the tank at the completion of the Project. • • HAI will assist the City in the preparation of Record Drawings for the Project. Record Drawings will be prepared incorporating changes made during the construction phase of the Project based on data furnished to HAI by the Contractor in the form of red lined construction drawings. HAI will provide one (1) set of 24 inch by 36 inch, 3 mil, single mat mylar original "Record Drawings" to the City. Environmental Impact Testing Prior to operations by the Contractor, soil samples will be taken from various locations around the tank to provide background sample testing. At the conclusion of the Project, soil samples will be taken at the same locations and tested for comparison. In addition, samples of the Contractor's blasting debris will be collected for testing to determine if it is hazardous and requires any special handling or disposal. By completing this testing program the City will have more reliable information to respond to any pollution claims which may occur as a result of the Project. Resident Project Representation HAI's tank subconsultant, Tank Industry Consultants, Inc., will provide full time resident observation of the Contractor's workmanship. The TIC technician is NACE trained and is completely experienced in tank repairs, tank surface preparation and painting standards and proper coating application techniques. The TIC technician will maintain daily written reports for coating conditions, location of the work on the tank and the quality of work being performed, blast surface profile and compliance with blasting standards, and taking wet and dry coating film thicknesses for specification compliance. By providing this full time project observation, the City will have reasonable assurance that the Contractor has complied with the requirements of the Contract Documents: This additional observation during repair and coating operations should help in providing the maximum expected life for the new coating system.

Quote Ref. #BD-0333-07 Rev. Dear Mr. Voorhees: Thank you for contacting TANK INDUSTRY CONSULTANTS regarding this project. As requested, I am pleased to present the following proposal. Ellicott City,Maryland 410/715-9330 DESCRIPTION OF FIRM AND QUALIFICATIONS Irving,Texas TANK INDUSTRY CONSULTANTS is a consulting engineering firm 972/719-2507 specializing in tank evaluation, project representation, and specification Orlando,Florida and design of steel water storage tanks. TIC was founded over 20 years 407/851-5745 ago to provide exactly these services. In the interim, we have been in- volved in the evaluation and water tank maintenance engineering of over Corona,California 2,500 tanks. TIC has assembled a staff which brings engineering, man- 909/273-3427 agement, and administration experience from the contractors', engineers', Bolingbrook,lllinois and owners' points of view. Our management and support staff includes 630/226-0745 individuals who have had many years of experience with large tank fabri- cators. Many of our field technicians were paint and erection crew fore- men, and several are NACE Certified Coatings Inspectors. In all, TIC's staff has over 350 years experience in the water tank industry. • In addition to the practical knowledge gained through actual projects, TIC keeps informed of industry trends and standards through extensive in- volvement in the standards-making organizations. In fact, TIC plays a significant role in the development of these standards. TIC is repre- sented on the AWWA Steel Tank Standard (Chairman), AWWA D100 Steel Tank Standard Revision Task Force, AWWA D102 Standard for Painting of Steel Water Tanks Revision Task Force, AWWA D170 Stan- dard for Composite Water Tanks, and the National Sanitation Foundation Protective Materials Task Group which has taken from the USEPA the - responsibility for the approval of all coatings in contact with potable wa- ter. Mr. Knoy is the chairman of the AWWA Tank Manual Task Force which is in the process of publishing a manual which will advise water tank owners from the planning stages of tank construction through tank demolition. When published, this Manual will replace the AWWA Stan- dard D101 as the benchmark for the evaluation of water tanks. An Employee-Owned Company Mr. J. Richard Voorhees Page 2 Quote Ref.#BD-0333-07 Rev. April 26, 1999 In addition to TIC's participation in AWWA standards, TIC has also been actively involved in other associated standards. For structural issues, TIC's involvement with American Concrete Institute (ACI) has been beneficial for the design of foundations as well as our participation in ACI Standard 371 for the design of concrete pedestals for composite elevated tanks. In addition, TIC actively participates on the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP). NEHRP is the task force responsible for developing the international standard for seismic design. When completed, this standard will be utilized in developing all future seismic codes world- wide. For the coating of water tanks, TIC's involvement in the Society for Protective Coatings has proven to be vitally important due to the quickly changing restrictions being placed on the removal and disposal of lead-based coatings. Steven Roetter, P.E., President of TIC, served as chairman of the 1993 SSPC Lead Paint Abatement Conference. Gregory R. "Chip" Stein, P.E., Vice President of TIC, was seminar co-chairman and Steve was tutorials chairman at the 1994 SSPC Annual Conference. Chip was also the general sessions chairman of the entire 1995 SSPC Annual Conference. In addition, at the 1993, 1994, and 1995 SSPC Annual Conferences TIC presented three-hour tutorials on the development and writing of lead-paint abatement specifica- tions. The Steel Structures Painting Council believes that TIC is one of the leading lead paint abatement experts, and so do our clients. TIC utilizes this advanced information to better protect and forewarn our clients of potential future pitfalls. TIC has been recognized by numerous prestigious organizations as the water tank experts. These organizations have provided this recognition in the following manner: the US Navy through a contract to develop a tank inspection manual; SSPC through an invitation to chair the 1993 Lead- Paint Abatement Conference as well as the 1995 SSPC Annual Conference; NACE through an election to their Board of Governors, the US Army through an invitation to teach a course on water tanks; AWWA through a contract to develop a tank maintenance program for water op- erators to utilize; and the US Congress through a request to provide testimony on the'adequacy of the present tank standards. Hartman & Associates and/or the City of Ocoee can be certain that TIC's experience, qualifications, expertise, and the desire to provide the following services is unmatched. FIELD EVALUATION ALTEI?NATIVES: "Wet" Field Evaluation: Our diving PREBID evaluation consists of a careful study of the tank's interior, exterior, foundations (visible), and accessories. Although this method does not require the tank to be drained, the tank must be taken off line and isolated from the system the entire time the diver is in the tank. TANK INDUSTRY CONSULTANTS will utilize one of our own field technicians who is also a certified diver, specifically trained in underwater evaluation techniques. Because the diver is also a member of TIC's staff, the tank is evaluated by a quali- fied technician who knows what to look for, not a diver who takes random photographs so that an engineer in the office can evaluate the tank from the photographs, or provide photographs to Mr. J. Richard Voorhees Page 3 Quote Ref.#BD-0333-07 Rev. April 26, 1999 Hartman& Associates and/or the City of Ocoee without clear, concise, or complete recommen- dations. • When performing an underwater evaluation the diver utilizes a full dry suit and full face diving mask to avoid contact between the divers body and the potable water. Prior to entering the tank, the diver and all related equipment are thoroughly disinfected in accordance with AWWA C652- 92. "Dry" vs. "Wet": TIC has performed numerous underwater tank evaluations. In doing so, TIC has found there are limitations to both dry and wet evaluations and it is important to under- stand the drawbacks, as well as the advantages, of both. First, with a diving evaluation, the diver is able to access all of the steel surfaces, while with a dry evaluation, the tank evaluation crew is only able to access those surfaces that are adjacent to ladders and that can be accessed by rigging from roof manholes and vents. However, the diver must evaluate the steel surfaces up close, as the limited light and visibility does not allow the diver to move away from the tank shell and evaluate the overall corrosion patterns inside the tank. Some of the physical tests that are nor- mally performed, including adhesion tests and dry film thickness readings, cannot be accom- plished on the submerged surfaces. Also, because there is usually some amount of silt in the bottom of the tank, the tank bottom cannot be as thoroughly evaluated by diving. Additionally, this sediment, when stirred-up by a diver, impairs the visibility and deteriorates the quality of the evaluation. This directly affects the quality of the evaluation of the tank bottom and lower por- tion of the tank shell. In addition, the diver is working with a somewhat limited supply of air which will typically cause the diver to accelerate his/her evaluation. Perhaps most importantly, only one diver sees the tank interior. TIC likes for both members of the tank evaluation crew to visually assess the tank interior and evaluate the problems found. This provides for greater accu- racy in the evaluation as no single person could have possibly "seen it all." It is with this in mind that TIC recommends that having the tank drained for the evaluation and having the sediment removed from the tank interior allows for the most thorough evaluation. TIC, however, is equipped to evaluate the tank in whatever fashion Hartman&Associates and/or the City of Ocoee desires. Exterior Evaluation: During the exterior field evaluation, TIC technicians will access the tank surfaces by rigging and rappelling down the exterior as required by the condition and design of the tank to identify sanitary, safety, or structural deficiencies. While rappelling, the technicians look for tank irregularities to be analyzed by our engineering staff. Ultrasonic thickness meas- urements will be taken so that deviations from original thickness can be analyzed for structural deficiencies by a Structural Engineer. The exposed portion of the foundation is visually evaluated to locate cracks, spalling, or other types of deterioration. Deterioration will be reviewed by a Structural Engineer to determine its affects on the integrity of the tank. • Mr. J. Richard Voorhees Page 4 Quote Ref.#BD-0333-07 Rev. April 26, 1999 Our evaluation is specially designed to uncover problems with the tank, and to look for methods of reducing rehabilitation costs. The cathodic protection system is also visually evaluated. By reviewing corrosion patterns and metal loss, the apparent working order of the cathodic protec- tion system will be determined. At a minimum, the following items will be addressed: ♦ Measurements of the tank members will be taken ♦ Measurements of the tank accessories will be taken ♦ Measurements of metal loss will be taken • Coating samples will be taken to determine lead, cadmium, and chromium content ♦ Coating adhesion measurements will be taken ♦ Coating thickness measurements will be taken ♦ Ultrasonic steel thickness measurements will be taken • Observed sanitary deficiencies will be noted • Observed safety deficiencies will be noted ♦ Observed structural deficiencies due to deterioration will be noted • Observed irregularities or unusual circumstances will be noted ♦ Photographs will be taken to document the condition of the tank ♦ TIC will measure the approx. height to overflow level to an accuracy of+/-6 in. Coating Evaluation: Coating samples will be taken during the field evaluation to be tested to determine their lead, chromium, and cadmium content. The coating thickness and adhesion tests performed during the coating evaluation will offer insight into the "topcoat-ability" of the existing coating. If the existing coating type, thickness, condition, and adhesion allow for top- coating, the cost of recoating the tank could be significantly reduced. Our evaluation is specifi- cally designed to uncover problems with the tank, yet look for methods of reducing rehabilitation costs. Structural Evaluation: Included in TIC's evaluation and report is identifying any observed structural deficiencies or damage which may have occurred since the tank was erected. These observed deficiencies could be deviations of the existing tank condition from how the tank was originally designed and constructed and/or deterioration which may have occurred (e.g. metal loss due to corrosion) since the construction of the tank. Any deficiencies found will be analyzed for their affects on the structural integrity of the tank. If Hartman & Associates and/or the City of Ocoee would like the entire structure analyzed for compliance with present structural stan- dards and codes, there would be an additional fee for this analysis. TIC will make recommen- dation to Hartman and Associates regarding the need for additional structural evaluation. Evaluation Report: Four copies of an engineering report concerning the condition of the tank, certified by a Florida Registered Professional Engineer on our full-time staff, will be is- Mr. J. Richard Voorhees Page 5 Quote Ref.il BD-0333-07 Rev. April 26, 1999 sued. Our report will serve as a decision-making document for Hartman & Associates and/or the City of Ocoee. This report will include the information required to allow Hartman & Associates and/or the City of Ocoee to make an informed decision about tank maintenance and how to meet the short-term and long-term water system needs. The report will include the following sections: Observations: The observation section of the report provides dimensions of the tank and accessories, as well as a narrative description of the condition of each part of the tank. Sanitary, safety, and structural deficiencies found will be described and an assess- ment of the coating condition will be included. Recommendations: The recommendation section of the report includes repairs and modifications required to bring the tank into compliance with present AWWA operat- ional, safety, and sanitary standards and regulations. Also, coating recommendations will be made, as well as the recommended timing of the necessary coating repairs. When practical, alternative methods of repairs, modifications, and painting will be provided. Advantages and disadvantages of each alternative will be given so Hartman & Associates and/or the City of Ocoee can determine their short-term and long-term tank maintenance requirements. Cost life analysis and comparative analysis of coatings and linings are continually being performed by TIC as new products and technology are developed for • the coatings and lead-paint abatement industry. With more than twenty years experience specifying water tank coatings and having worked on over 2,500 water tanks, TIC has extensive experience in determining which coatings best meet the short-term and long- term water tank needs. This experience and expertise is utilized each time TIC evaluates another tank. Economic Factors: The economic factors section of the report provides budget esti- mates for all of the repairs, modifications, and coating requirements outlined in the rec- ommendations section of the report. In addition, the expected life of the tank (with and without repairs and maintenance) and the replacement cost of the tank are provided for cost comparison. Photographs: The report will contain approximately 45 to 75 photographs of the tank depending upon its condition. The photographs are individually mounted with captions adjacent to each photo to explain what is included in the photo. The photographs serve as additional documentation of the tank's condition. Tank Data Sheet: We ask that Hartman & Associates and/or the City of Ocoee supply all available information on the tank's history. For your convenience, I have enclosed a tank data sheet for you to complete and submit prior to the evaluation. This information is valuable to our evaluation and report. • Mr. J. Richard Voorhees Page 6 Quote Ref il BD-0333-07 Rev. April 26, 1999 Washout & Disinfection: We believe that a more thorough evaluation of the interior sur- faces can be performed if the mud and debris are removed from the tank before the evaluation. Should it be found during the diving evaluation that the sludge buildup in the bowl of the tank prohibits a thorough evaluation,TIC will terminate the diving evaluation and rec- ommend to Hartman and Associates that the tank be drained for a washout. Hartman and Associates will then be billed for the Additive Alternate Dry Evaluation in addition to the Wet Evaluation. If desired, this washout service is available by our personnel. In addition, the tank should be disinfected after the field evaluation. This can also be performed by our person- nel in accordance with AWWA C652-92 Method Three. The Terms of this quotation are: 1. For a wet evaluation, Hartman & Associates and/or the City of Ocoee taking the tank off- line, tagging and locking out the valves required to put the tank on-line the entire time the diver is in the tank. 2. Hartman & Associates and/or the City of Ocoee operating the water works system with the tank off-line without any assistance from TANK INDUSTRY CONSULTANTS. 3. Hartman & Associates and/or the City of Ocoee turning off, tagging, and locking out the power to any cathodic protection system which may be installed on the tank. Hartman & Associates and/or the City of Ocoee is also responsible for returning the cathodic protection system back to its working order at the conclusion of the field work on the tank. 4. Hartman& Associates and/or the City of Ocoee providing a ladder (or other means) to ac- cess the exterior tank ladder, if the bottom of the tank ladder is more than 12 ft above the ground. 5. Performing the work when the temperature is above 35° F, the wind velocity is 15 mph or less, and there is no precipitation. 6. Performing the field work prior to October 31, 1999. The field work will be scheduled when written authorization to perform this work has been received. 7. Hartman & Associates and/or the City of Ocoee furnishing a ground man for safety reasons during the work. The safety person will be needed only to assist in contacting help in case of emergency. Mr. J. Richard Voorhees Page / Quote Ref.#BD-0333-07 Rev. April 26, 1999 8. Hartman & Associates and/or the City of Ocoee supplying TIC with all required sleeves and attachments for any safe- climbing devices on the tank ladders in order for these devices to be tested for proper operation. 9. Hartman & Associates and/or the City of Ocoee may NOT accompany TIC's personnel dur- ing the evaluation of the tank surfaces above ground level. TIC's rigging and safety equip- ment is intended for and is to be used by ONLY TIC personnel. 10. Hartman & Associates and/or the City of Ocoee taking samples and performing all required bacteria testing prior to placing the tank in service. 11. Using the enclosed agreement, Hartman & Associates and/or the City of Ocoee's request for proposal, and this proposal as the contract form to perform this work. Specifically included as part of this fee is the limitation of liability listed in this agreement. 12. Hartman & Associates will be invoiced when the engineering report is issued. Payment shall then be made within 7 days of payment by the City of Ocoee. In the even a dry evaluation and washout is required, the following terms and conditions will apply in addition to those above: 1. The Hartman and Associates and/or the City of Ocoee removing all ground-level man- hole covers before the evaluation and resecuring them after completion of the field work. Frequently the manhole gasket must be replaced to seal the manhole properly. 2. The Hartman and Associates and/or the City of Ocoee supplying water with a stan- dard garden hose connection within 50 ft of the base of the tank if TIC is retained to perform the washout. 3. All sludge and debris removed from the tank during the washout being deposited down the inlet/outlet pipe for purging by Hartman and Associates and/or the City of Ocoee. If Hartman and Associates and/or the City of Ocoee would prefer the sludge and debris being placed at the bottom of the tank for removal and disposal by Hart- man and Associates and/or the City of Ocoee, then the fee would be two times the tank washout fee listed above. If any of these terms are not met by Hartman & Associates and/or the City of Ocoee, charges for any additional time, mileage, per diem, interest (1-1/2% monthly), taxes, insurance or mobiliza- tions incurred by TIC due to such failure may be added to the fee. Mr. J. Richard Voorhees rage o Quote Ref.#BD-0333-07 Rev. April 26, 1999 PHASE II- DESIGN PHASE This phase will encompass the design and preparation of the detailed plans and specifications. TIC will assist Hartman& Associates in preparation of the plans and specifications. Specifically TIC will prepare, in CSI Format, the portions of the specifications related to: • Lead abatement, • Containment, • Environmental protection based on the site conditions and heavy metal content of the coating system as identified in the Prebid evaluation, • Structural repairs, • Tank upgrades, and • Impressed current cathodic protection system. TIC will review the coating specification prepared by Hartman & Associates and make recommendations specific to tank repainting. Hartman and Associates will prepare the contract documents and assemble the bidding package. PHASE HI- CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICES Resident Project Representation: The resident observation of the contractor's workman- ship is the most important part of this project. The best written, most thorough specifications do not assure the project is completed correctly. TIC's technicians are experienced in tank repair, painting, and erection. They are not only familiar with proper coating application techniques; but also with the underlying reasons for tank painting standards. In addition, our entire staff of civil, structural, and mechanical engineers and support personnel, including our NACE Certified Field . Services Manager, are available for supplemental technical support for any special problems that might occur. Daily Progress Reports: TIC's technician will furnish Hartman & Associates and/or the City of Ocoee and the contractor with a written report for each day's evaluation. The reports will _ address, at a minimum, the following items: ♦ Temperature of steel ♦ Weather conditions Temperature, Wind velocity & direction, Relative humidity, and Dew point Mr. J. Richard Voorhees Page 9 Quote Ref.#BD-0333-07 Rev. April 26, 1999 • Location and Quality of work being performed and compliance with the project docu- ments • Paint batch numbers ♦ Surface profile • Wet and dry film thickness readings • Calibration record of dry mil thickness gauge ♦ Measure of the paint cure ♦ Number of men and equipment on the job + Recommendations made • Estimated completion date ♦ Other pertinent data as required or requested The following equipment (at a minimum) will be utilized by TIC to monitor the work: • SSPC-Vis 1 Visual blasting standards • NACE Visual Standard TM-01-70 (available) ♦ AWWA Standards D100-96 & D102-97 ♦ Testex Press-O-Film Profile Measurement System ♦ Surface Contamination Detection Device (soluble salts) • Wet Film Thickness Gauge ♦ Dry Film Thickness Gauge • Certified Thickness Calibration Standards ♦ Steel Temperature Gauges ♦ Sling Psychrometer and Psychometric Tables ♦ Wet Sponge Holiday Detector (low voltage) + Adhesive Force Measurement Device (if required) ♦ Tooke Gage (if required) Atmospheric Conditions and Contaminants: Coatings are very sensitive to atmos- pheric conditions. Humidity, dew point, air, and steel temperatures must all be within acceptable ranges during application and curing for coating systems to achieve maximum life. Without a resident technician on the site to monitor these conditions, Hartman&Associates and/or the City of Ocoee is putting his faith in the contractor that work will be suspended when the atmospheric conditions warrant. Evidence of the application of the coating under adverse atmospheric condi- tions may be a premature failure two or three years later. In industrial environments there is also the problem of chlorides and other contaminants being deposited on the steel and between coats of paint. Even small traces of chlorides beneath a coating system have been found to cause premature coating failure. There are numerous other situations which may occur that can significantly reduce the life of the coating system and cannot be found during intermittent observations. (e.g. Contaminants in sand or on steel, rust film Mr. J. Richard Voorhees Page 10 Quote Ref.#BD-0333-07 Rev. April 26, 1999 forming on steel before priming, and improper surface profile; not to mention things a contractor may deliberately try to cover up.) All of these situations require an experienced technician to identify. Coating System Integrity: There are numerous other situations which may occur that can significantly reduce the life of the coating system. Causes for premature coating failure such as contaminants in the abrasive or on the steel, rust film forming on steel before priming, and im- proper surface profile--not to mention things a contractor may deliberately try to cover up-- cannot be found by an inexperienced technician. All of these situations require an experienced technician to not only identify the problems, but to make constructive suggestions to correct them. Our technicians will also perform a low-voltage holiday detection test on interior surfaces (including the roof). Proper evaluation cannot be performed using binoculars and telephoto lenses. Our field technicians evaluate cleaned and painted surfaces "up close," not just the ones next to ladders and platforms. Active Participation: TIC's technicians utilize their knowledge and experience to be proac- tive. Our technicians anticipate potential problems and offer recommendations/guidance to the contractor to help avoid these problems. This helps to reduce the project length, thus minimizing evaluation time and costs, and returns the tank to service in the least possible time. The ability of a coating system to achieve its anticipated service life is directly proportional to the quality of the workmanship during application. Therefore, money spent on resident observation will be paid back in a longer lasting coating system -- sometimes double or triple. (NOTE: These services . would be provided in accordance with the duties and limitations of authority sections of the at- tached agreement.) Environmental Impact: TIC is very concerned about the environmental impact of the tank rehabilitation project we are involved in; and is dedicated to complying with environmental . regulations. If required, we will have TCLP tests be performed by the contractor on the blasting debris to determine if it is hazardous and requires special handling and disposal. Soil samples will be taken from carefully plotted locations on and around the tank site prior to the start of the cleaning and painting project. This testing will provide background samples which can be tested and compared with samples taken from the same locations at the project's conclusion. This "be- fore and after" sampling and testing will help to gauge the impact the project had on the envi- ronment and neighboring property, and will help protect Hartman& Associates and/or the City of Ocoee from claims for pollution which existed before the project started. If requested by Hartman & Associates and/or the City of Ocoee, TIC would have a qualified laboratory perform the laboratory analysis. The actual cost of laboratory analysis will be determined by the number of samples which will be required. Mr. J. Richard Voorhees rage 11 Quote Ref.#BD-0333-07 Rev. April 26, 1999 Contract Administration: Once a tank rehabilitation project begins, TIC will be available to consult with and advise Hartman & Associates and/or the City of Ocoee concerning any por- tion of the tank rehabilitation and repainting project. TIC can also perform all contract admini- stration and project administration as specifically requested by Hartman & Associates and/or the City of Ocoee. The contract administration items specifically requested include: • Consultation on adequacy and compliance with the project specifications ♦ Assist in the review of contractors' submittals and shop drawings ♦ Review and approval of materials Other services available to Hartman & Associates and/or the City of Ocoee include: • Specification interpretation • Attend the pre-construction and all subsequent meetings--supplying typed meeting notes ♦ Review all contractors' submittals and shop drawings • Review construction schedule ♦ Review and approval of materials • Prepare and assist in the negotiations of change orders and supplemental agreements ♦ Review and approval of payment requests + Dispute settlement ♦ Public relations CLOSURE As you review TIC's proposal and compare it to other firms, you should be aware of some key differences between our services and the services provided by most "tank inspec- tion/engineering" firms. Hartman & Associates and/or the City of Ocoee should be fully aware of.what the proposed services include as well as what they do not include. These differences are: • Mr. J. Richard Voorhees Page 12 Quote Ref.#BD-0333-07 Rev. April 26, 1999 Phase I-Prebid Report: • TIC's report includes observations of our evaluation crew in narrative format (not a fill-in- the-blank form). This allows for easier reading, better understanding of existing conditions, and a smooth transition into the design phase without extensive, costly re-work. • TIC provides pertinent dimensions of tank appurtenances. This allows for structural calcula- tions to be performed (if necessary) to determine the integrity of deteriorated areas. Also, these dimensions allow TIC to verify the tank ladders', platforms', handrails, manholes', and vents compliance with present safety, sanitary, and operational standards (without these de- tailed dimensions, compliance with these important issues can not be fully determined). • TIC provides recommendations for potential sanitary deficiencies, safety deficiencies (in- cluding dimensional compliance), and AWWA operational deficiencies. • TIC has the interior and exterior coatings laboratory tested for the three most common ingre- dients in coatings which are presently being regulated: lead, cadmium and chromium. Most firms do not provide laboratory testing or only test for lead. • TIC provides coating alternatives specifically for the tank based upon existing coating condi- tion, environment, and the existing tank condition. • TIC includes color photos with the report. These photos are mounted with labels describing - • the pertinent information adjacent to each photo so it is easy for the reader to determine what is in each photo. Many firms put their photo labels on one page and then mount the photos on the following pages, requiring the reader to flip back and forth to determine what is in each photo. • TIC provides an economic factors section with the evaluation report. This allows for com- parisons of different recommended alternatives to be more easily considered, and assists in the budgeting process. • TIC has offered an additive alternate for a dry evaluation, washout, and disinfect if sediment prevents the adequate evaluation by diving. • TIC's report will be sealed by a Florida Registered Professional Engineer. If authorized, the structural evaluation will be performed by Stephen W. Meier, a structural engineer with over 20 years experience designing spheroid-type water tanks. Many firms only have a person with an engineering title sign the reports and do NOT provide a Registered Professional Engineering Seal on the documents. Phase II - Construction Phase Services: • TIC will prepare the portions of the specifications specifically requested by Hartman and As- sociates. These sections include: Lead abatement, Containment, Environmental protec- Mr. J. Richard Voorhees rage I.5 Quote Ref.#BD-0333-07 Rev. April 26, 1999 tion based on the site conditions and heavy metal content of the coating system as iden- tified in the Prebid evaluation, Structural repairs, Tank upgrades, and Impressed cur- rent cathodic protection system • TIC will review the painting specification prepared by Hartman and Associates and make recommendations specific to tank repainting. Phase III - Construction Phase Services: • TIC's has a complete support staff(Professional Engineers and NACE Certified Coatings In- spectors) available 24 hours a day to our field technicians to provide additional support and assistance required for tank rehabilitation projects. Most firms leave the technician in the field on his own, as most firms have little to no technical support staff to assist in problem solving. • TIC's in-house "quality assurance program" has engineers, project managers, and senior tech- nician staff that spot checks our field technicians to review the progress of a project and also review the work being performed by our on-site technician. Most firms provide no quality assurance to their field staff. • TIC's in-house training program is never ending. Not only does TIC have qualified, experi- enced technicians, but TIC is also continually training, then reviewing the work performed by our technicians and then providing additional training. Most firms hire their field staff and hope they are knowledgeable and will do a good job. TANK INDUSTRY CONSULTANTS takes great pride in offering the most cost-effective tank evaluation available. By taking more time during the initial evaluation, we believe that we save our clients significant amounts of money by having all the necessary information_to properly prepare engineered specifications. Our uniquely designed specifications are clear, concise, and include all of the necessary information to receive competitive bids for the tank rehabilitation. By having TANK INDUSTRY CONSULTANTS on site throughout the construction phase, Hartman& Associates and/or the City of Ocoee can be certain that the most qualified technicians are continually monitoring the contractor's workmanship for compliance with the project docu- ments. Money properly invested now will pay dividends throughout your tank rehabilitation project. To proceed with this project, please sign the two copies of the enclosed Standard Agreement and forward one original to us. After receipt of this agreement, TIC will forward certificates of in- surance to Hartman & Associates and/or the City of Ocoee for this project and will contact you to schedule the field work portion of this project.
