Many components of these tanks throughout the City are approaching their useful design life, creating a need for proactive rehabilitation. Rehabilitation projects are tentatively planned for as many as seven (7) tanks as follows: _ Three Rivers Water Filtration Plant Washwater Tank (0.1 Million Gallons) _ Lafayette Elevated Storage Tank (1.0 Million Gallons) _ Coldwater Elevated Storage Tank (2.0 Million Gallons) _ Covington Elevated Storage Tank (1.5 Million Gallons) _ Brooklyn/Kinsmoor Elevated Storage Tank (1.0 Million Gallons) _ Northeast Elevated Storage Tank (1.5 Million Gallons) _ Aboite Elevated Storage Tank (0.5 Million Gallons) City of Fort Wayne typically restricts tank rehabilitation projects to the spring and fall painting seasons, and typically doesn't service more than one tank at a time. Besides the project for the Three Rivers Water Filtration Plant Washwater Tank, which is located 1 indoors, it is expected that outdoor rehabilitation projects will be constructed at a rate of approximately two projects per calendar year. 1.3 SCOPE OF WORK - TYPICAL TANK REHABILITATION PROJECT Bids for tank rehabilitation projects will be solicited by the Board of Public Works from pre-qualified tank rehabilitation contractors. The Bidding Documents will include a Project Manuals and may also include Drawings. All project manuals will include standard technical specifications and project specific information. Contract documents will generally follow standards of the Engineers Joint Contract Documents Committee (EJCDC). Examples of previous tank rehabilitation project manuals will be provided upon request. The rehabilitation Projects will be designed to meet most current rules, regulations, and standards of the American Water Works Association, Recommended Standards for Water Works (10-State Standards), Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), National Science Foundation (NSF), Society for Protective Coatings (SSPC), National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE), and American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Owner will arrange for removal of any telecommunications equipment prior to the Project. The Contractor shall be responsible for furnishing all labor, insurance, equipment, materials and power for the complete performance of tank rehabilitation projects. The rehabilitation activities, which are specific to the individual Project, may include the following: Cleaning and Surface Preparation May include abrasive blast cleaning, power tool cleaning, high pressure water cleaning, or other surface preparation to clean or prepare the tank components for coating application. Wet Interior Overcoating and Recoating The steel surfaces of the wet interior of the tank and the steel components contained therein may be overcoated or, in some cases, completely recoated. Specified coating systems will meet NSF standards for coatings in contact with potable water and application may require plural component pumps and other specialized equipment. The systems specified are typically manufactured by Tnemec or Sherwin Williams. Dry Interior and Exterior Overcoating and Recoating The steel surfaces of the dry interior and exterior may also be overcoated or, in some cases, completely recoated. May also include painting of steel pit piping. Conventional containment systems or dust tight rigid frame containment systems, with ventilation, may be required depending on the tank type and existing coating system. 2 Miscellaneous Steel Improvements, Repairs, and Modifications Cutting, welding, and fastening for modification, replacement, installation, adjustment, or removal of hinged hatches/manways, grating, fall prevention devices, rigging couplings, safety clips, roof handrails, painters rigging railings, ladders, frost-free pressure vacuum roof vents, sway rods, pipe supports, and roof stiffeners.
