Engineering Manager / Water Production Fort Worth Water Department 1000 Throckmorton Street Fort Worth, Texas 76102 RE: Professional Services Associated with the Rehabilitation of the 1,000,000 Gallon Northwest Elevated Water Storage Tank Fort Worth, Texas Dear Mr. Harder: Tank Industry Consultants (TIC) is pleased to have been selected to provide engineering, design and professional services associated with the rehabilitation of the Northwest ele- vated tank. We understand the tank is a multicolumn Oblodial tank built by Pittsburgh- DesMoines Steel Company in 1950. We propose the following scope of work including the evaluation of the tank, the preparation of specifications for repairs and repainting, bid- ding assistance, and project representation during construction. EVALUATION TIC performs all types of funk evaluations to meet each tank owner's needs. There are currently three popular methods of evaluating tank interiors: a drained "dry" evaluation, an underwater evaluation performed by divers, and a robotic inspection. TIC proposes a drained "dry" evaluation. The dry evaluation is unquestionably the most thorough evaluation and is often the least costly. Once the tank is drained, TIC will clean the interior of the tank. TIC personnel will pump the remaining water out of the tank. After the the excess water has been re- moved, all remaining sediment will be shoveled outside of the tank. A high-pressure pump will be used to wash down the lower portion of the tank shell and bowl where the sediment has been. After the tank washout and interior field evaluation, TIC will disinfect the tank in accordance with AWWA Standard C652-11 prior to the tank being returned to service. During the dry evaluation, our specially trained technicians get to the necessary surfaces on the tank by rigging and rappelling the interior as required by the condition of the tank. TIC's evaluation is specially designed to uncover problems, and to look for methods to reduce rehabilitation costs. Field Evaluation TIC's technicians will travel to the tank site with their tools and equipment and will per- form the field portion of the evaluation on the scheduled date. The collected data and photos will be sent to our headquarters office in Indianapolis for analysis and preparation of the report. During the field evaluation, TIC's technicians will access the tank surfaces by rigging and rappelling down the interior and exterior to identify sanitary, safety, or structural deficiencies. While rappelling, the technicians look for tank irregularities to be analyzed by our engineering staff. Ultrasonic thickness measurements of the steel will be taken so that a structural engineer can analyze any deviations from the original thickness. Christopher Harder, PE Fort Worth Water Department Page 2 May 28, 2013 The exposed portions of the foundations will be visually evaluated to locate cracks, spalling, or other types of deterioration. Our evaluation is specially designed to uncover problems, and to look for methods to reduce rehabilitation costs. At a minimum, the following items are addressed: • Measurements of the tank members and accessories are taken • Measurements of metal loss and blistered coating are taken • Coating samples are taken and tested to verify lead, chromium, and cadmium content • Coating adhesion measurements are taken • Coating thickness measurements are taken • Coating on tank appurtenances are evaluated • Ultrasonic steel thickness measurements are taken • Sanitary deficiencies are identified • Safety deficiencies are identified • Structural deficiencies due to deterioration are identified • Irregularities or unusual circumstances are identified • Photographs are taken to document the condition of the tank Coating Evaluation Coating samples are taken during the field evaluations and sent to a certified laboratory for testing to deter- mine their lead, chromium, and cadmium content. Coating thickness and adhesion tests performed during the coating evaluation will help determine the "topcoat -ability" of the existing coating. If the existing coating type, thickness, condition, and adhesion allow for topcoating, the cost of recoating the tank could be signifi- cantly reduced. Based on the findings of the coating evaluation, the environmental concerns that need to be addressed during the cleaning and painting of the tank will be determined, and plans made for containment, testing, and disposal requirements that will need to be included in the project specifications. Structural Review As part of our evaluation, TIC identifies any observed structural deficiencies or damage that may have oc- curred since the tank was erected. These deficiencies include deviations of the existing tank conditions from the tank's original construction. Any deficiencies found are analyzed for their affect on the structural integ- rity of the tank. Evaluation Report An engineering report concerning the condition of the tank, certified by a Texas Licensed Professional Engi- neer on our full-time staff, will be issued. Our report will serve as a decision -making document for the Fort Worth Water Department. Observations: The observation section provides dimensions of the tank and accessories as well as a narra- tive describing the condition of the site and each part of the tank. Sanitary, safety, security, and structural deficiencies are described as well as the coating condition. Recommendations: The recommendation section of the report includes those repairs and modifications required to bring the tank into compliance with present TCEQ, AWWA, OSHA, and sanitary standards and Christopher Harder, PE Fort Worth Water Department Page 3 May 28, 2013 regulations. Coating recommendations are made, as well as the anticipated timing of the necessary coating repairs. When practical, alternative methods of repairs, modifications, and painting are provided, and advan- tages and disadvantages of each alternative are given. All opportunities for topcoating tank exteriors are thoroughly explored. Economic Factors: The economic factors section of the report provides budget estimates for all of the repairs, modifications, and painting options outlined in the recommendations section of the report. The re- placement cost of the tank is also provided for cost comparison. Photographs: Our report will contain color photographs of the tank. The photographs will be individually mounted with captions adjacent to each photo to explain what is shown in the photo. The photographs serve as additional documentation of the tank's condition. Tank Data Sheet We ask that the Fort Worth Water Department supply all available information on the tank's history. For your convenience, we have enclosed a tank data sheet for you to complete and submit prior to the evaluation. We understand that available information may be limited, but anything you can provide will be helpful. The following terms apply to the tank evaluation: 1. The Fort Worth Water Department removing all ground -level manhole covers before the evaluation and resecuring them after completion of the field work. Frequently the manhole gasket must be re- placed to seal the manhole properly. 2. The tank being drained and refilled by the Fort Worth Water Department. The tank must be drained and prepared for the field evaluation on the agreed date and time. 3. The Fort Worth Water Department operating the water works system with the tank off-line without any assistance from Tank Industry Consultants. 4. The Fort Worth Water Department turning off, tagging, and locking out the power to any cathodic protection system that may be installed on the tank, and returning the cathodic protection system back to its working order at the conclusion of the field work on the tank. 5. The Fort Worth Water Department providing a ladder (or other means) to access the exterior tank ladder if the bottom of the tank ladder is more than 12 feet above the ground. 6. Performing the work when the temperature is above 35° F, the wind velocity is 15 miles per hour or less, and there is no precipitation. 7. Performing the fieldwork prior to July 30, 2013. Tank Industry Consultants will contact the Fort Worth Water Department to schedule the fieldwork when written authorization has been received. 8.

'REPARATION OF SPECIFICATIONS AND CONTRACT DOCUMENTS TIC'S tank rehabilitation specifications and contract documents are project specific and more extensive than provided by most engineers due to our experience and intimate familiarity with the latest TCEQ, AWWA, NFPA, API, NACE, and SSPC standards and how they must be supplemented. Specifications will be pre- pared in accordance with local, state, and federal laws, and all specific requirements provided by the Fort Worth Water Department. Project Consultation: Throughout the project design and execution, TIC's project team will be in direct communication with the tank owner's representatives to assure that the project specifications and contract documents fulfill their needs and requirements. Detailed Construction Cost Estimates: Tank Industry Consultants provides budget estimates for con- struction so the final scope of work meets your maintenance and financial goals. After all reviews are com- plete, TIC will revise all documents as required for final approvals and prepare a final detailed cost estimate for the project. Reduce Construction Costs: TIC's specifications will be prepared for the Northwest Elevated Tank to address the work that needs to be performed rather than using a generic specification. This reduces the change orders to only those items that have competitive unit prices already negotiated prior to starting the project. Our specifications will address containment and proper removal and disposal/treatment of lead - based coatings and other situations that may apply to the Northwest Elevated Tank. Repair and Rehabilitation Design: It is important to include specific tank upgrades in the tank repaint- ing design. TIC has found that a specification that is only end -result oriented is not adequate when working with tank repair and repainting contractors. TIC's specific designs of the repairs provide a better finished product. Engineered solutions are vital to the successful completion of tank rehabilitation projects. Removal of Lead -Based Coatings: The removal of existing lead -based (or other heavy-metal) coatings can be a major concern in repainting projects. The method that best suits the specific requirements of the Northwest Elevated Tank will be specified. Whether the project requires vacuum blasting, full containment, Christopher Harder, PE Fort Worth Water Department Page 5 May 28, 2013 or even the use of a robotic blasting machine, TIC will design the safe removal of lead -paint to obtain the most competitive bids possible. Once the existing coatings are removed, the spent abrasive and coating debris must be tested to determine if it must be disposed of as a hazardous material. Specific guidelines will be provided in the project specifica- tions to require strict compliance with local, state, and federal regulations for the proper handling and dis- posal of this waste. BIDDING SERVICES TIC assists tank owners in obtaining competitive and qualified bids. TIC will recommend a number of quali- fied bidders to whom the Notice to Bidders should be sent. Specializing in water storage tanks for more than thirty-three years has allowed TIC to develop a list of tank repair and repainting contractors that also special- ize in water tanks. Because of these contractors' expertise, their bids are the most competitive in the industry. Bid assistance provided by TIC includes: • Attend Pre -Bid Conferences • Respond to questions • Tabulate the bids • Review the bids • Check for signatures, bonds, and insurance • Investigate the low bidder • Recommend award to the lowest and most qualified bidder CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICES Contract Administration Once the tank rehabilitation project begins, TIC will be available to consult with and advise the Fort Worth Water Department concerning any portion of the tank rehabilitation and repainting project. Contract admini- stration services could include: • Consultation on adequacy and compliance with the project specifications • Specification interpretation • Attend the pre -construction and all subsequent meetings —supplying typed meeting notes • Review all contractors' submittals and shop drawings O 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 Project Representation during Rehabilitation With the increasing cost of tank rehabilitation, and associated costs of things such as out -of -service time, po- tential pollution, and disruption of the community, the cost of a premature coating failure is much higher to- day than it was even a few years ago. Modern coatings have greatly extended life cycles but are much more difficult for contractors to mix and apply properly. The additional cost of the inspection required to make Christopher Harder, PE Fort Worth Water Department Page 6 May 28, 2013 sure these modern coatings realize their expected service life, will be paid back through the avoidance of fu- ture expenditures and system disruptions. The role of TIC's on -site project representatives is to provide both a visual and documented inspection trail that verifies that the client receives the level of quality and product service life they are paying the contractor to provide. The resident technician is on -site to: • point out and document deficiencies in the contractor's work, so the contractor makes corrections and improvements as the work progresses. • document the contractor's daily performance to support invoice approval or any action the owner may wish to take against the contractor. • confirm that the contractor has taken the necessary steps to protect the owner from liability by testing and properly disposing of spent blast abrasive. • confirm that the contractor is complying with job site posting requirements. • quickly resolve any technical questions or changes that may arise to minimize or eliminate delays and/or contractor claims. • document weather and other jobsite conditions to assess contractor claims for additional time or money. • document any jobsite visits from state or federal agencies, such as OSHA or the EPA. • facilitate cost-effective solutions to issues that can arise during the construction phase of the tank re- habilitation project. The observation of the contractor's workmanship is one of the most important parts of a tank rehabilitation 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. Our entire staff of civil, structural, chemical, and mechanical engineers and experienced support personnel, in- cluding our NACE Certified Field Services Manager and Field Supervisors, are available to provide support on each project. Environmental Impact: TIC is very concerned about the environmental impact of each tank rehabilita- tion project we are involved in and is dedicated to complying with environmental regulations. If required, we will have TCLP tests 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 to provide background samples that can be tested and compared with samples taken from the same locations at the conclusion of the project. This before and after sampling and testing helps gauge the impact the project had on the environment and neighboring property, and helps protect the Fort Worth Water Department from claims for pollution which existed before the project started. Resident Painting Observation: During Resident Project Representation, TIC's field technician is on - site, monitoring the contractor whenever work is being performed. This type of coating observation provides the most thorough and conclusive project representation. Coatings are very sensitive to atmospheric 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, the tank owner is putting their faith in the contractor that work will be suspended when the atmospheric conditions warrant. Evidence of the appli- cation of the coating under adverse atmospheric conditions may be a premature failure two or three years later. Christopher Harder, PE Fort Worth Water Department Page 7 May 28, 2013 Reporting: TIC's project representative furnishes the tank owner and the contractor a written report for each day's observation. The reports will address, at a minimum, the following items, as required: • Temperature of steel • Weather conditions: temperature, wind velocity and direction, relative humidity, dew point • Coating and abrasive product in accordance with project specifications • Mixing and thinning of coatings • Cleanliness of blast nozzle • Paint batch numbers used on the day of the observation • Location of work performed • Quality of work being performed • Compliance with the project documents • Wet and dry film thickness readings • Calibration record of dry mil thickness gauge • Measure of the paint cure • Number of crew members on the job • Equipment on the job • Recommendations made • Estimated completion date • Photographs of significant details • Other pertinent data as required or requested Holiday Testing: Once the interior coating application is completed, Tank Industry Consultants will ob- serve the contractor's holiday testing of the interior surfaces. Final Observation/Walk Through: TIC recommends that a final evaluation be performed when each tank project is completed. At the final evaluation, TIC's field technician or field supervisor will accompany the contractor for a final review of the project. A punch list of items that need to be remedied or completed will be prepared and provided to the Fort Worth Water Department and the contractor. If required, TIC will observe the completion of the punch list. First Anniversary Evaluation Present AWWA Standards recommend that all water tank construction and painting projects have a bonded warranty following the project completion date. Approximately eleven months after the completion of the tank rehabilitation project, TIC will perform a First Anniversary Evaluation of the contractor's workmanship. This evaluation focuses on the contractor's compliance with the project specifications and drawings, and the coating condition. This evaluation will take one day on site. A report on the condition of the tank and the contractor's workmanship will be issued. The report will contain photographs taken during the field evalua- tion. SUBCONTRACTORS TIC anticipates subcontracting the following services to minority -owned businesses in order to meet the City's M/WBE contracting goal of 13%: • Laboratory analysis of paint samples to determine their content of regulated heavy metals • Laboratory analysis of soil samples to determine their content of contaminants Christopher Harder, PE Fort Worth Water Department Page 8 May 28, 2013 • Laboratory analysis of abrasive blasting debris to determine if the debris must be disposed of as haz- ardous waste • Printing of contract documents • Uploading of Construction Documents to Buzzsaw • Preparation of record drawings TI'AE & EXPENSE TIC's time and expenses for this project will be invoiced in accordance with Attachment B of the Agreement using the rates in affect at the time the work is performed. Our current rates (2013) are attached. We antici- pate rate increases of approximately 3% to 5% from 2013 to 2014. Mileage will be invoiced from TIC's closest office to the site. For this project that office is in The Woodlands, Texas on the north side of Hous- ton. We estimate billings on a time and expense basis in accordance with Attachment B to the Agreement will be as follows: Evaluation $ 8,100 Preparation of Detailed Technical Specifications $ 12,600 Bidding Assistance $ 5,200' Contract Administration $ 5,200 Project Representation $ 68,0002 First Anniversary Evaluation $ 5,200 Total $104,300 1 Add approximately $1,500 if attendance at the Bid Opening is required. 2 The contractor's construction methodology and work force allotment will greatly impact the inspection hours and costs for Project Representation. A minimal amount of time may be charged for the field techni- cian's preparation of documentation in addition to on -site time. Christopher Harder, PE Fort Worth Water Department Alternative Billing Page 9 May 28, 2013 TIC would be pleased to offer an alternative to the time and expense billing described in Attachment B to the Agreement for your consideration prior to the start of work. That alternative would include fixed fees for the Tank Evaluation, for Preparation of Specifications and Contract Documents, for Bidding Services, and for the First Anniversary Evaluation, along with Time and Expense billing for Contract Administration and Pro- ject Representation services using loaded fixed hourly rates. We would be pleased to provide an alternate proposal for your consideration. We look forward to working with you on this project.

City of Fort Woah,'i"e>::�s FORT WORTII **C-26360 LOG NAME: 60NORTHWEST STORAGE TANK REHAB RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of an Engineering Agreement with Tank Industry Consultants, Inc., in the amount of $104,300.00 for the Northwest Elevated Storage Tank Rehabilitation Project located at 3213 NW 27th Street. DISCUSSION: The one million gallon Northwest elevated storage tank was constructed in 1950 and last rehabilitated in 2000. This elevated tank provides potable water storage and fire protection for areas in northwest Fort Worth. The existing coating system is in need of replacement as required to protect the structural steel from corrosion. On January 18, 2013, a Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued for several Water Department projects, including potable storage tank rehabilitation projects. On February 22, 2013, a total of four proposals were received from engineering consultants for the tank rehabilitation projects. A Staff consultant selection committee recommended Tank Industry Consultants, Inc., for the Northwest elevated storage tank rehabilitation project. As part of the work, Tank Industry Consultants, Inc., will test the existing coatings for heavy metals and perform a structural inspection of the tank. A preliminary design report recommending existing coating removal and disposal methods, structural repairs, and proposed coating system will be prepared. Upon approval of this design report, the engineer will prepare plans, specifications and cost estimates, provide bidding assistance and perform the construction management and on -site inspection for the rehabilitation project. M/WBE Office - Tank Industry Consultants, Inc., is in compliance with the City's BDE Ordinance by committing to 13 percent SBE participation on this project.
