Recommendation to award Bid #B15 -01 Forest Oaks WTP & South WTP Ground
Storage Tanks Rehabilitation Project to Precon Corporation
The Utilities Department is recommending the awarding of the Bid #B15 -01 Forest Oaks WTP &
South WTP Ground Storage Tanks Rehabilitation Project to Precon Corporation in the amount
of $186,863.00. The awarding is supported by the following discussion:
BACKGROUND:
The pre- stressed wire wound concrete ground storage tanks (GSR) at the drinking water
treatment plants are used to store potable water during low water demand periods and make
available large quantities of stored water during high demand periods. Due to the corrosive
conditions the tanks are subjected to, periodic inspection and subsequent maintenance and
repairs are required on the tanks. Additionally, Florida Department of Environmental Protection
requires the integrity and functionality of the tanks be inspected on a five year cycle.
CURRENT STATUS OF INFRUSTRUCTURE:
Inspections of these tanks were performed by Crom Corporation, builder of the City's 4 water
treatment plant GSR's and Utility staff in 2011. The inspection revealed in all 4 tanks areas
exhibiting spalling, cracking and damaged concrete, exposed and deteriorating structural steel,
deteriorating interior coatings and corroded hardware.
PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION:
The original plan for the tank rehabs was to spread work over two fiscal years with the worst
tank repaired in Fiscal Year 13/14 and the remaining three tanks in Fiscal Year 14/15. But
based on economy of scale the rehabilitation was combined into a single project. The combined
City of Ocoee Utilities • 1800 A.D. Mims Road • Ocoee, Florida 34761
Phone: (407) 905 -3159 • Fax: (407) 877 -5899 • www.ocoee.org
funding for the tanks rehab is of $208,200.00. Work should begin within sixty (60) days of
award and work completed by late spring 2015.
PROJECT EXPENSES:
Funds in the amount of $208,400.00 were budgeted in to perform these repairs. The City
formally bid this work out and received 4 bidders for the project. The following is a list of the
bidders and their prices from lowest to highest:
1. Atlas Steel Coatings, Incorporated $139,750.00
2. Precon Corporation $186,863.00
3. Crom Engineering & Construction Services $272,261.05
4. Utilities Service Co, Incorporated $318,900.00
Staff investigation of the lowest bidder's references, Atlas Steel Coatings, revealed the company
had no experience in repair or rehabilitation of concrete pre- stressed wire wound tanks. This
was confirmed verbally by Louis Alfieri, president of Atlas Steel Coatings, where he indicated
that they have never performed any repairs or coatings on concrete tanks. Based on Atlas
Steel experience, staff is recommending Atlas Steel's Coating Bid not be accepted.
After contacting the references of the second lowest bidder, Precon Corporation has been
determined to be responsive. They have performed numerous projects of similar experience.
They constructed the 750,000 gallon concrete ground storage tank at the City's Maguire Road
Reclaimed Water Booster Station in 2012. Additionally, Precon has a Florida Contractors
License.
Below is a list of Precon's references, work performed and responses received:
1. Spring Lake Improvement District Florida

accessory installation, cleaning.

TANK STRUCTURAL EVALUATION
1.0 Executive Summary
Crom Engineering and Construction Services, Inc. (CECS) conducted a series of visual
surveys, with no invasive procedures employed, of a 400,000 gallon prestressed concrete
reservoir in Ocoee, FL on August 17, 2011. The tank was inspected in accordance with
AWWA D110 and ACI 350 to evaluate the present condition of the structure. The goal of
the inspection was to review the structural integrity of the dome and to determine what
measures, if any, are necessary to bring the tank up to present codes and standards so that
the longest useful life of the tank can be realized. Paul Talbert, El, CECS Project Manager,
performed the inspection and prepared this report under the review of Jeff D. Malpass, P.E.
2.0 Scope of Work
The purpose of the inspection is to investigate the structural integrity of the dome at Forest
Oaks WTP. The investigation included a visual survey of the exterior and interior of the
structure with no destructive measures employed to further investigate locations of cracking
and hollows.
The tank dome was physically examined for any visible problems such as cracks, spalling
and accessory damage. Any location that was questionable was looked at closer to
determine the extent of the problem.
3.0 Tank History and Description
The tank being inspected is a prestressed composite tank that was originally built by The
Crom Corporation in 1984. The tank has an inside diameter of 60' -0" and a side wall depth
of 18' -11 ". The tank was built for the City of Ocoee as part of a project designed by Kuhrt B.
Associates, Inc of Orlando, Florida in conformance with the report from ACI 344 on The
Design and Construction of Circular Wire and Strand Wrapped Prestressed Concrete
Structures and generally accepted design practices for wire -wound prestressed concrete
tanks during this time period.
The tank has a 4" thick highly reinforced concrete floor. Floor steel consists of one
orthogonal mat of #4 rebar spaced at 8" in both directions. The tank floor is joined to the
tank wall by a monolithic joint.
The tank has a composite wall constructed of shotcrete encasing a 26 gauge steel shell
diaphragm continuous for the full height. The vertical seams between the sheets of the
diaphragm are sealed watertight with epoxy.
The wall is circumferentially prestressed by wrapping with pre- tensioned high tensile steel
wire permanently bonded to the tank wall to contain the internal hydraulic load of the tank
contents and provide residual compression in the wall after allowing for wall deformation
and stress loss in the wire. Conventional mild steel reinforcement is also present in the wall
due to vertical bending moments induced by the prestressing and by seasonal temperature
differential between the inside and the outside of the wall. Circumferential mild steel
reinforcement to control shrinkage cracking during construction is present in the wall as well.
There is a 1" thick minimum shotcrete covercoat over the final layer of prestressed wire to
protect the wire from corrosion. There is also a 1" thick covercoat on the inside of the
diaphragm. The core wall is 3'/2" thick at the base of the wall and maintains its thickness of
3'/2" at the top. One layer of prestressed wires at the bottom of the tank and the 1" thick
minimum covercoat provide an overall thickness of approximately 4 3 /4" from the bottom of
the wall to the top.
The tank is covered with a 3" thick concrete domed roof containing mild temperature
reinforcement and 4x4 W4.0 x W4.0 welded wire mesh.
There are three pipe penetrations through the floor of the tank as follows:
• 16" DIP Influent
• 16" DIP Effluent
• 8" DIP Drain
Tank accessories include a 3500gpm aerator; one 25" modified fiberglass offset vent; one
hatch opening in the dome near the edge with a hinged fiberglass cover; one cast steel
framed manhole opening with aluminum alloy cover; a aluminum hatch handrail; one
exterior aluminum ladder with safety climbing device; four emergency overflows; and one
liquid level indicator.
Inspection History
The tank was inspected by CECS previously in 2006. According to the picture file that was
attached in the original inspection report, several of the same issues that were noted on the
dome still exist. Many of the cracks, spalls and dark staining are still present.
4.0 Conclusion and Recommendations
Based on the inspection, there are no apparent reasons for concern of the structural
integrity of the tank. By reviewing the previous inspection picture file from 2006, we can
clearly see the same cracking on the exterior dome. Since that time, no major changes have
occurred. However, in order for the tank to be in compliance with Florida Administrative
Code Chapter 62- 555.350, the recommended repairs or modifications need to be
addressed.
2
(1) Exterior Tank Dome: Approximately 270LF of cracking was observed on the
exterior dome (Figures 5 & 6). The majority of these cracks were superficial
shrinkage cracks that can be sealed with a good coat of paint. Remaining cracks
appear to be larger based on sediment that has washed into the crack and is now
allowing biogrowth such as lichen to form within the void. There were no signs of
continuation through the dome noted on the interior surfaces. CECS recommends
pressure washing the dome and sealing the cracks with a stripe coat of primer
followed by two top coats of a waterborne acrylate.
A spall approximately 24in (Figure 7), was noted at the base of an aerator support
pole. According to the operators, the spall was most likely due to lightning and
correlates to a large spall on the interior surface of the dome (Figures 10, 11, 12).
Exposed reinforcing was noted and is in need of being repaired. The spall was
compared with the photos from the previous inspection. No major changes have
occurred. CECS recommends repairing these areas by removing all loose
deteriorated concrete, chipping completely behind and exposing any corroded steel
mesh, chasing the corroded mesh until 4" minimum of clean steel is exposed,
cleaning the corrosion from the exposed steel and concrete surface, and applying a
polymer modified cementitious surface repair material in conjunction with a bonding
epoxy.
(2) Interior Tank Dome: Exposed, corroded reinforcing steel was noted in numerous
locations on the interior dome (Figures 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 & 15). Some of the
locations corresponded to minor cracking on the interior dome surface. CECS
recommends repairing this area by removing all loose deteriorated concrete, cleaning
any corroded steel mesh, squaring off and chipping back the concrete to provide a
minimum depth of '/4" and patching with a polymer modified cementitious surface
repair material in conjunction with a bonding epoxy to ensure that adequate coverage
over the reinforcing steel is maintained. After the areas have been patched, the
underside of the dome should be coated with a protective epoxy coating suitable for
use inside potable water tanks such as Tnemec Series N140 or equal.
Hard water staining was evident on a large portion of the interior dome surface
(Figures 10, 11, 16 & 17). Additionally, small spots of corrosion from the steel
reinforcement bolsters were noted. This corrosion does not involve any of the
structural elements of the tank dome. Delaminated coating was also noted at the top
of the tank wall (Figure 18). In order to keep the underside of the dome in good
condition CECS recommends sandblasting and coating the underside of the dome
and 3 feet down the interior wall and baffle wall and applying a protective epoxy
coating such as Tnemec Series N140 or equal.
3
(3) Interior Tank Wall: According to the operators, the tank liquid level fluctuates
between 3' below the dome to around 10' above the floor (Figures 11, 16, 17 & 18).
As long as the wall is wetted once a day, deterioration due to hydrogen sulfide attack
does not have time to occur. CECS recommends coating the top 5' of the interior
wall. However, per the operator's request, the top 12 feet of the wall may be coated
with a protective epoxy coating suitable for use inside potable water tanks such as
Tnemec Series N140 or equal.
(4) Aerator: The aerator curb which was originally glassed to the dome is now
delaminating and allowing water to travel under the flashing (Figure 8). CECS
recommends reattaching the curb to the dome again to prevent leakage from the
aerator to stain the dome.
Significant hard water staining was noted on the trays, floor and piping for the aerator
(Figure 8 & 9). The staining is migrating into the tank through the downcomers, down
the interior dome surface, down the wall and onto the floor. CECS recommends that
the aerator be pressure washed to remove the majority of the staining and that the
aerator be maintained to lessen the appearance of hard water staining. CECS also
recommends that the floor on the aerator be sandblasted and coated with an NSF
approved polyamidoamine epoxy.
(5) Liquid Level Indicator: The float and target cable for the indicator was broken
(Figure 3). CECS recommends replacing the cable with new nylon- coated stainless
steel cables to monitor the liquid level within the tank.
(6) Tank Manhole: Minor pitting has occurred on the inside face of the manhole cover
(Figure 4). CECS recommends preparing and recoating the manhole frame and
cover with a two part protective epoxy coating suitable for use in potable water tanks
such as AquataPoxy A -6 or equal. Replacing the aluminum alloy cover with a
stainless steel cover for a more permanent remedy is also an option if desired.
(7) Tank Piping: The interior tank piping is corroded (Figure 20). In order to avoid
further corrosion and section loss of the pipe, CECS recommends sandblasting the
pipes in accordance with SSPC- SP10 /NACE 2 near -white blast and coating the pipes
with a protective epoxy coating suitable for use in potable water tanks such as
Tnemec Series N140 or equal.
Since CECS' inspection was a visual survey of the structure without any invasive or
destructive procedures or tests, CECS cannot offer an opinion on the condition or
performance of the covered or hidden elements of the structure not visible from the surface.

PURPOSE
The following report is provided in response to the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection's rule 62- 555.350(2) FAC requiring engineering inspections relating to the
structural and coating integrity of drinking water treatment plant ground storage tanks.
In preparation of the tank inspection, a " low water usage" period was determined as the most
suitable time to take the tank off line. During this period the City of Ocoee drained and
ventilated the ground storage tank. Access was gained through the tank top hatch and manway
on the side of the tank. Inspections were performed as outlined in the following report. Once
the inspection was complete, the tank was thoroughly cleaned of all accumulation and debris
with fire hoses at 60 psi water pressure. A 12% Sodium- hypochlorite (bleach) solution was
sprayed on all interior surfaces and added to the tank for disinfection purposes. The tank was
then backfilled and let stand 24 hours. 'Tank was then drained and refilled with treated water
and bacteriological samples were taken. Once clearances of bacteriological samples were
received, the tank was returned to service and FDEP notified of the work performed to the
tank. Subsequent annual inspections found no additional issues associated with the tanks
structural integrity or coatings.

3.0 TANK MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
This inspection did not reveal any problems that would cause immediate concern for structural
integrity. The following recommendations are provided to prevent further deterioration and aid
in rehabilitation and future budgeting needs.
3.1 Interior Dome and Wall Coating
The interior dome coating has several areas where the wwrn or steel chairs are rusting
though the coating. In preparation of repair, the tank should be taken off line and
allowed to dehumidify for several days while continuous forced are ventilation is
applied to the interior. Any loose coating and mortar in areas indicating steel rust bleed
through should be removed along with any other coatings separating from the dome by
sandblasting. The concrete should be removed several inches back from any effected
steel by chipping. Sandblasted all exposed steel to near white. These concrete areas
should then be repaired with approved dry -pack cement -sand mortar, epoxy grout or the
most appropriate method of repair.
Once all repairs to the dome have been made, the remaining dome and upper 6 feet of
the peripheral walls should be lightly sandblasted to lightly roughen the surface in
preparation of approved epoxy coating application.
3.2 Interior DIP and CIP Piping Coating
All steel interior piping indicates areas of coating fai lure with dispersed tubercles.
These pipes should be sandblasted and recoated with an approved epoxy coating.
3.3 Water Level Indicator
Water level indicator cabling and float hardware need to be replaced with a high grade
stainless steel.
3.4 Flume Piping Wall Anchor Supports and Hardware
Flume hardware is in good condition.
3.5 Exterior Tank Paint
The three large hollows should be repaired by epoxy injection method as recommended
by CECS in 2006. The exterior of the tank should be pressure washed and a high
quality siloconized latex caulk scaler applied to all cracks. Once the caulk has dried,
two coats of a high quality permeable elastomeric latex paint should be applied to the
exterior walls and dome.
-9-
3.6 H atrit
The gasket between the hatch cover and hatch frame should be replaced. j
3.7 Manway /Manhole
The manway should be sandblasted and re- coated with a appropriate coating.
3.8 Aerators
The floor of the aerators needs to be lightly sandblasted and a generous coat of an
appropriate coating applied encompassing the down comer holes and all horizontal
surfaces up to and overlapping the first 6" of the fiberglass aerator walls.
The screens should be replaced on aerators, ventilation domes and overflow ports.
(All screens were replaced in 2012)
3.9 Lightning Protection
Lightning rods and grounding cables have become detached in several places and need
to be re- affixed to the tank and aerators. Cable connections need to be re- torqued to
insure continuity to ground.

3.0 TANK MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
This inspection did not reveal any problems that would cause immediate concern for structural
integrity. The following recommendations are provided to facilitate repairs and assist budgeting
future maintenance funds.
3.1 Interior Dome and Wall Coating
The interior dome coating has several areas where the wwm or steel chairs are rusting
though the coating. In preparation of repair, the tank should be taken off line and allowed to
dehumidify for several days while continuous forced are ventilation is applied to the
interior. Any loose coating and mortar in areas indicating steel rust bleed through should be
removed along with any other coatings separating from the dome by sandblasting. The
concrete should be removed several inches back from any effected steel by chipping.
Sandblasted all exposed steel to near white. These concrete areas should then be repaired
with approved dry -pack cement -sand mortar, epoxy grout or the most appropriate method of
repair.
Once all repairs to the dome have been made, the remaining dome and upper 6 feet of the
peripheral walls should be lightly sandblasted to lightly roughen the surface in preparation
of approved epoxy coating application.
3.2 Interior DIP and CIP Piping Coating
All steel interior piping indicates areas of coating failure with dispersed tubercles. These
pipes should be sandblasted and recoated with an approved epoxy coating.
3.3 Water Level Indicator
Water level indicator cabling and float hardware need to be replaced with a high grade
stainless steel.

3.4 Mme Wall Anchor Supports -,md -rdwwm
The "expansion head" style hardware that fastens the flume piping to the baffle wall has
pulled away from attachment to the baffle wall in several locations. New high grade
stainless steel expansion head wall anchors should be used to re- attach the flume piping
brackets back to the baffle wall.
3.5 Exterior Tank Paint
The exterior dome and sides of the tank should be pressure washed and a high quality
siloeonized latex caulk sealer applied to all cracks. Once the caulk has dried, two coats of a
high quality permeable elastomeric latex paint should be applied to the exterior walls and
dome.
3.6 Hatch
The gasket between the hatch cover and hatch frame should be replaced.
3.7 Manway /Manhole
The cast steel manway should be sandblasted and re- coated with a approve epoxy coating.
3.8 Aerators
The interior and exterior of the aerators need to be pressure washed to remove dirt and
staining. At the exterior base of the aerators, where the sides meet the top of the tank, should
be thoroughly caulked with a high grade latex caulk. The floor of the aerators needs to be
lightly sandblasted and a generous coat of approve epoxy coating applied encompassing the
down comer holes and all horizontal surfaces up to and overlapping the first 6" of the
fiberglass aerator walls. (All screens were replaced in 2012)
3.9 Lightning Protection
Lightning rods and grounding cables have become detached in several places and need to be
re- affixed to the tank and aerators. Cable connections need to be re- torqued to insure
continuity to ground.

The following report is provided in response to the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection's rule 62- 555.350(2) FAC requiring engineering inspections relating to the
structural and coating integrity of drinking water treatment plant ground storage tanks.
In preparation of the tank inspection, a " low water usage" period was determined as the most
suitable time to take the tank off line. During this period the City of Ocoee drained and
ventilated the ground storage tank. Access was gained through the tank top hatch and manway
on the side of the tank. Inspections were performed as outlined in the following report. Once
the inspection was complete, the tank was thoroughly cleaned of all accumulation and debris
with fire hoses at 60 psi water pressure. A 12% Sodium- hypochlorite (bleach) solution was
sprayed on all interior surfaces and added to the tank for disinfection purposes. The tank was
then backfilled and let stand 24 hours. Tank was then drained and refilled with treated water
and bacteriological samples were taken. Once clearances of bacteriological samples were
received, the tank was returned to service and FDEP notified of the work performed to the
tank. Subsequent annual inspections found no additional issues associated with the tanks
structural integrity or coatings.

3.0 TANK MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
This inspection did not reveal my problems that would cause immediate concern for structural
integrity. The following recommendations are provided to prevent further deterioration and aid
in rehabilitation and future budgeting needs
3.1 Interior Dome and Wall Coating
The interior dome coating has several areas where the wwm or steel chairs are rusting
though the coating. In preparation of repair, the tank should be taken off line and
allowed to dehumidify for several days while continuous forced are ventilation is
applied to the interior. Any loose coating and mortar in areas indicating steel rust bleed
through should be removed along with any other coatings separating from the dome by
sandblasting. The concrete should be removed several inches back from any effected
steel by chipping. Sandblasted all exposed steel to near white. These concrete areas
should then be repaired with approved dry -pack cement -sand mortar, epoxy grout or the
most appropriate method of repair.
Once all repairs to the dome have been made, the remaining dome and upper 6 feet of
the peripheral walls should be lightly sandblasted to lightly roughen the surface in
preparation of approved epoxy coating application.
-9-
12 interim- D44' inid CHI Piping -C a ing
All steel interior piping indicates areas of coating failure with dispersed tubercles.
"These pipes should be sandblasted and recoated with an approved epoxy coating.
3.3 Water Level Indicator
Water level indicator cabling and float hardware need to be replaced with a high grade
stainless steel.
3.4 Flume .Piping Wall Anchor Supports and Hardware
Flume and hardware are in good shape and should not need any repairs.
3.5 Exterior Tanlc Paint
The exterior of the tank should be pressure washed and a high quality siloconized latex
caulk sealer applied to all cracks. Once the caulk has dried, two coats of a high quality
permeable elastomeric latex paint should be applied to the exterior walls and dome.
3.6 Hatch
The gasket between the hatch cover and hatch frame should be replaced.
3.7 Manway /Manhole
The cast steel manway should be sandblasted and re- coated with a approve epoxy
coating.
3.8 Aerators
The floor of the aerators needs to be lightly sandblasted and a generous coat of approve
epoxy coating applied encompassing the down comer holes and all horizontal surfaces
up to and overlapping the first 6" of the fiberglass aerator walls. (All screens were
replaced in 2012).
3.9 Lightning Protection
Lightning rods and grounding cables have become detached in several places and need
to be re- affixed to the tank and aerators. Cable connections need to be re- torqued to
insure continuity to ground.
