Scope of Work (1) The City of Shreveport has a two million gallon (2.0 MG) welded-steel, elevated water storage tank that is to be rehabilitated and recoated under the terms of this contract. General information on the tank is provided at the end of this document in the Engineering Report of Inspection dated 1/9/23 and 1/27/17. The work to be performed under these specifications includes the rehabilitation, surface preparation, coating, and structural steel repairs of the water storage tank. (2) The tank is located at the 1300-1399 block of Oakdale St., Shreveport, LA 71108. Containment is required during exterior abrasive blasting operations to protect the environment. The existing protective coating systems contain more than 0.5% lead by weight. Per LDEQ, containment for lead abatement to protect the environment during blasting is required. Contractor is responsible for all environmental protection, worker protection, and testing and proper disposal of all waste. Lead analysis of the coatings is provided in Appendix C. See additional requirements in Section 02 83 33 Hazardous Coating Removal and Disposal. (3) It shall be the responsibility of the bidders to carefully inspect the sites and all pertinent parts and devices on the tank to ascertain the quantity of surface preparation, necessary repairs and coating required to clean the tank properly, coat, repair and place the tank back into operation in accordance with these contract specifications. The information on the tank provided in the Engineer's Report of Inspection is general in nature and should not be relied upon to determine bid quantities or other bidding factors. (4) Scheduling and timely completion of all work required is of the upmost importance for this project. It is imperative that all work be completed during the low water demand period of the year for the City of Shreveport. The low water demand period occurs for six months from November to April. This ensures that the City of Shreveport will be able to maintain adequate system pressure while the tank is out of service. Work required before returning the tank to service should be given precedence over other ancillary work. Liquidated damages will be strictly enforced for failure to complete the work necessary to return the tank to service.
