Item #: 8
Contact Name: Trent Hopper Department Director: Jamie Croteau
Contact Number: Ext. 4306 City Manager: Robert Frank
Subject: Approval to Piggyback off of City of West Palm Beach Contract to Repair Tank #1
and Tank #2 at the Forest Oaks Water Plant. (Utilities Director Croteau)
Background Summary:
As part of the Utilities Department 10-Year Maintenance Program, the approved budget for Fiscal Year 2022-
23 includes $230,000 to repair Tank #1 and Tank #2 at the Forest Oaks Water Plant. The Florida Department
of Environmental Protection requires the ground storage tanks at the Forest Oaks Water Plant to be inspected
every five (5) years. In February 2021, the City hired CROM Coatings and Restorations, a Division of CROM,
LLC (CCR) and the builder of the City's ground storage tanks, to perform the inspections. Due to the age of
the tanks, which were built in 1984 and 1996 respectively, extensive repairs are needed. CCR is currently
under contract with the City of West Palm Beach for "Master Water Storage Tank Cleaning and Repair
Services" (Contract#20696, expiring 6/3/2024) and has provided proposals to repair both tanks at a total cost
of $203,940 (Tank #1 $135,515 and Tank #2 $68,425).
Issue:
Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve to piggyback West Palm Beach
Contract#20696 to repair Tank #1 and Tank #2 at the Forest Oaks Water Plant?
Recommendations:
Staff recommends that the Honorable Mayor and City Commission authorize the City Manager to cause the
repair of Tank#1 and Tank #2 at the Forest Oaks Water Plant at a total cost of $203,940 by utilizing West
Palm Beach Contract #20696.
Attachments:
1. West Palm Beach Contract
2. Proposal - Tank #1
3. Proposal - Tank #2
Financial Impacts:
No financial impact as this project is adequately funded in the Fiscal Year 2022/23 budget.

BY LAW, AN EMPLOYEE, AGENT, DESIGN PROFESSIONALS, OR ENGINEERS EMPLOYED BY CCR

pay an additional consideration of four percent of the total fee, or $400.00, whichever is greater. The additional
charge for the higher liability limits is because of the greater risk assumed and is not strictly a charge for additional
professional liability insurance.
8. ASSIGNMENT AND THIRD PARTIES
Neither the Client nor CCR may delegate, assign, sublet or transfer their duties or any interest in this Proposal
without the written consent of the other party. Both parties agree there are no intended third-party beneficiaries
to this Proposal including other contractors or parties working on the project, or, if necessary, a surety of CCR.

This proposal is predicated on open-shop labor conditions, using our own personnel. If we are required to employ
persons of an affiliation desirable to the Client or other contractor employed by him or the general contractor thereby
resulting in increased costs to us, the contract price shall be adjusted accordingly. Such requirement shall not provide
that CCR sign a contract with any labor organization. In the event of a labor stoppage, we shall not be in default or
be deemed responsible for delay of the progress of this contract or damage to the Client or the contractor so long
as CCR has sufficient qualified employees available to perform the work.
Our proposal is based on our crew performing our Scope of Work in accordance with our standard safety program.
If any additional safety requirements are placed on us (not required by OSHA) such as: site training, additional safety
equipment or permit required confined space, the cost for such additional requirements plus 30% for overhead shall
be reimbursed to us.
10. SCHEDULE, COMMENCEMENT, AND DELAYS
This quotation is valid for 45 days (Note: duration per project documents if none enter 30 days). Should the
Page 225 of 252
20210669 – Repairs Based on Inspection May 25, 2023
Ocoee, Florida Page 5
CCR011 – 11/14//2022
anticipated construction start date change during project execution, a new quotation will be required to reflect
updated pricing due to market changes. Furthermore, a new mutually agreeable Commencement Date will be
incorporated into this Proposal (or other agreement between us). If the readiness of the project site or conditions do
not allow efficient execution of our work on or before the Anticipated Construction Start Date or Commencement
Date (whichever governs), our contract price will increase $55.00 per man hour of crew delay until other productive
work can be scheduled for the assigned crew.
An agreement must be executed between us to allow sufficient time for preparation of our design drawings and other
submittals. CCR will be prepared to start work on (insert anticipated construction start date) and will undertake
to furnish sufficient labor, materials, and equipment to complete construction of our scope of work within
approximately 20 days working time thereafter. Confirm that these milestones and durations are considered when
selecting the Commencement Date above.
It is agreed that we shall be permitted to execute our work without interruption. If delayed at any time for a period of
24 hours or more by an act or neglect of the owner, his representative, or other contractor employed by him, or by
the general contractor, or by reason of any changes ordered in the work, we shall be reimbursed for our actual
additional expense caused by such delay, including loss of use of our equipment, plus 30% for overhead.
In the event an agreement apart from this proposal is preferred, such agreement shall include this Proposal and all
the conditions herein unless both parties agree in writing to specifically omit any condition.

pay an additional consideration of four percent of the total fee, or $400.00, whichever is greater. The additional

professional liability insurance.
8. ASSIGNMENT AND THIRD PARTIES

without the written consent of the other party. Both parties agree there are no intended third-party beneficiaries

persons of an affiliation desirable to the Client or other contractor employed by him or the general contractor thereby
resulting in increased costs to us, the contract price shall be adjusted accordingly. Such requirement shall not provide
that CCR sign a contract with any labor organization. In the event of a labor stoppage, we shall not be in default or
be deemed responsible for delay of the progress of this contract or damage to the Client or the contractor so long
as CCR has sufficient qualified employees available to perform the work.
Our proposal is based on our crew performing our Scope of Work in accordance with our standard safety program.
If any additional safety requirements are placed on us (not required by OSHA) such as: site training, additional safety
equipment or permit required confined space, the cost for such additional requirements plus 30% for overhead shall
be reimbursed to us.
10. SCHEDULE, COMMENCEMENT, AND DELAYS
This quotation is valid for 45 days (Note: duration per project documents if none enter 30 days). Should the
anticipated construction start date change during project execution, a new quotation will be required to reflect
updated pricing due to market changes. Furthermore, a new mutually agreeable Commencement Date will be
incorporated into this Proposal (or other agreement between us). If the readiness of the project site or conditions do
not allow efficient execution of our work on or before the Anticipated Construction Start Date or Commencement
Date (whichever governs), our contract price will increase $55.00 per man hour of crew delay until other productive

work can be scheduled for the assigned crew.
An agreement must be executed between us to allow sufficient time for preparation of our design drawings and other
submittals. CCR will be prepared to start work on (insert anticipated construction start date) and will undertake
to furnish sufficient labor, materials, and equipment to complete construction of our scope of work within
approximately 16 days working time thereafter. Confirm that these milestones and durations are considered when
selecting the Commencement Date above.
It is agreed that we shall be permitted to execute our work without interruption. If delayed at any time for a period of
24 hours or more by an act or neglect of the owner, his representative, or other contractor employed by him, or by
the general contractor, or by reason of any changes ordered in the work, we shall be reimbursed for our actual
additional expense caused by such delay, including loss of use of our equipment, plus 30% for overhead.
In the event an agreement apart from this proposal is preferred, such agreement shall include this Proposal and all
the conditions herein unless both parties agree in writing to specifically omit any condition.
