A significant change in the character of work occurs when: a. the character of work for any Item as altered differs materially in kind or nature from that in the Contract or b. a Major Item of work varies by more than 25% from the original Contract quantity. 5. When the quantity of work to be done under any Major Item of the Contract is more than 125% of the original quantity stated in the Contract, then either party to the Contract may request an adjustment to the unit price on the portion of the work that is above 125%. 6.

Plans quantities may or may not represent the exact quantity of work performed or material moved, handled, or placed during the execution of the Contract. The estimated bid quantities are designated as final payment quantities, unless revised by the governing Section or this Article. B. If the quantity measured as outlined under "Price and Payment Procedures" varies by more than 25% (or as stipulated under "Price and Payment Procedures" for specific Items) from the total estimated quantity for an individual Item originally shown in the Contract Documents, an adjustment may be made to the quantity of authorized work done for payment purposes.

Payment for revised quantity will be made at the unit price bid for that Item, except as provided for in Article 10. C. When quantities are revised by a change in design approved by the City, by Change Order, or to correct an error, or to correct an error on the plans, the plans quantity will be increased or decreased by the amount involved in the change, and the 25% variance will apply to the new plans quantity. D. If the total Contract quantity multiplied by the unit price bid for an individual Item is less than $250 and the Item is not originally a plans quantity Item, then the Item may be paid as a plans quantity Item if the City and Contractor agree in writing to fix the final quantity as a plans quantity. CITY OF FORT WORTH STANDARD CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATION DOCUMENTS Revised: November 9, 2011 007200-46 GENERAL CONDITIONS Page 46 of 62 E.

DISCUSSION: Texas Government Code Chapter 2258 requires that a public body awarding a contract for Public Works shall determine the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for each craft or type of worker needed to execute the contract. The public body is required to specify in the bid documents for any Public Works contract, and in the contract itself, the wages as determined and adopted by the public body. The attached 2013 Prevailing Wage Rates data for Heavy and Highway Construction projects identifies the current Davis -Bacon Act prevailing wages for heavy and highway construction projects applicable to the local wage rate zone. The attached 2013 Prevailing Wage Rates data for Commercial Construction projects identifies average wage rates based on a salary survey conducted and published by the North Texas Construction Industry (Fall 2012). The 2013 Prevailing Wage Rates will be included in future City -awarded infrastructure bid documents and contracts once adopted. FISCAL INFORMATIONICERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on City funds.

The tank was owned by the City of Fort Worth and was known as the "Northwest Elevated Water Tank." The field evaluation was performed on September 19, 2013 by Noah Peyer and Jared Peyer of Tank Industry Consultants. The tank was previously evaluated by Tank Indus- try Consultants on November 9, 1995. The Owner's representative on the site at the time of the field evaluation was Mr.' Chris Harder, P.E. The radial cone tank was of welded steel construction. According to information on the tank name- plate, the 12-column tank was built in 1951 by Pittsburgh -Des Moines Steel Company under contract number 2313997, and had a capacity of 1,000,000 gal- lons. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this evaluation was to determine the condition of the tank interior wet, interior dry, exterior, exposed foundations, and accessories. The purpose of this report is to present the findings of the evaluation and to make recommenda- tions for recoating, repairing, corrosion protection, and maintenance. Budget es- timates for the work, anticipated life of the coating and the structure, and the re- placement cost of the tank are also included. AUTHORIZATION: This evaluation and report were authorized in the City of Fort Worth Standard Agreement for Engineering Related Design Services signed by Mr. Fernando Costa, Assistant City Manager on July 31, 2013. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The exterior and interior wet coatings on this tank were in fair -to -poor overall condition. Large areas of topcoat failure were observed on the tank exterior, and spot coating failure on the interior wet had allowed pitting to occur. Therefore, Tank Industry Consultants recommends that the exterior and interior wet coating be replaced within 1 to 2 years, and that the interior dry portions of the tank be spot cleaned and spot coated at the time the exterior and interior wet are re- painted. An Employee -Owned Company 1,000,000 Gallon Elevated Tank, "Northwest Elevated Water Tank" City of Fort Worth, Texas ANSI/OSHA, TCEQ, and Safety -Related Deficiencies: There were OSHA and safety -related defi- ciencies on this tank. These deficiencies included: • the tower vandal deterrent was not equipped with side plates (recommended practice), O( )) • the tower ladder platform toe bar height was dimensionally too small (29 CFR 1910.23 e 4 • there was a bees' nest attached to the access tube ladder (recommended practice), • the gap between the toe bar and the ladder platform and the roof exceeded the maximum allowed gap width (29 CFR 1910.23(e)(4)), and • the minimum head clearance on the interior riser ladder was dimensionally too small (29 CFR 1910.27(c)(1)). If the Owner wishes to fully comply with OSHA and safety -related standards, it is recommended that these deficiencies be rectified. AWWA, TCEQ, and Operational Deficiencies: There were AWWA, TCEQ, sanitary, and operating deficiencies on this tank as well. These deficiencies included: Page 2 13.170.S465.009 • there was not ground level pressure gauge, • the roof was not equipped with a clog -resistant vent, • the roof manhole was not locked, • some of the cathodic protection hand hole covers were missing or misaligned, • the inlet/outlet pipe was not equipped with a protective cover, and • the inlet/outlet pipe appeared to be equipped with a lead joint. These deficiencies should be corrected. The safety -related, sanitary, and operating deficiencies listed above are not intended to be a complete list of deficiencies on this tank. The Owner should refer to the complete report text and accompanying photographs for a complete account of all observed deficiencies. This evaluation and the reporting of the condition of this tank do not warrant the original structural condition of the tank or any of the original design for seismic loadings. Likewise, recommendations for this tank do not include modifications that may be required for compliance with present structural codes. PHOTOGRAPHS: Color photographs were taken of the visible portions of the foundations, the tank interior and exterior and are included as a part of this report. The significant photographs are keyed to the observations. NOMENCLATURE: The terms used in describing the various components of steel water tanks are unique to the industry. In fact, the terms vary from firm to firm and from person to person. In an attempt to define the terms used in this report, a sketch of the general type of tank covered is included at the end of the narrative 1,000,000 Gallon Elevated Tank, "Northwest Elevated Water Tank" Page 3 City of Fort Worth, Texas 13.170.8465.009 portion of this report. Also, to aid in reference to the columns, the ladder column is referred to as col- umn 1 and the remaining 11 columns are numbered clockwise. Warning: Some appurtenances on this tank may be referred to as erection or rigging attachments, lugs, or brackets. This does not mean that they are safe for rigging. Each attachment for each tank should be evaluated on an individual basis by a structural engineer or an experienced rigger before being used. These de- vices may have been intended for only the original erectors and painters to use with specialized equipment. ADHESION TESTS: All adhesion tests performed during this evaluation were done in general accordance with ASTM D3359. The results are reported herein using the ASTM scale. The ASTM scale is a relative scale to rate adhesion from 0 to 5 with 5 being the best. A table of adhesion test results classification is in- cluded with this report following the sketch of the tank. HEAVY METALS TESTS: Samples of the exterior, interior dry, and interior coating systems were sent to a laboratory for atomic absorption analyses. The test results were as follows: Exterior Interior Wet Cadmium Chromium Lead mg/kg <25 <25 percent <0.0025% <0.0025% mg/kg <25 <25 percent <0.0025% <0.0025% mg/kg 7,328 29.62 percent .7328% 0.002962% Tank Industry Consultants performs this test only to determine if there is lead, cadmium, or chromium present in the coating samples. To limit damage to the existing coating, only small areas were tested. The small number of samples taken and the difficulty of retrieving all primer from the steel profile may cause the tests performed to not accurately represent the total coating system. Variations in thickness, types of coatings applied, and the interim cleaning and painting operations will also affect the actual readings. The reliability of the results is also dependent on the amount of primer included in the sample. The Consumer Product Safety Commission specifies that an amount greater than 0.06% lead is considered potentially hazardous. Additional testing to determine the amount of leachable con- taminants present in the spent cleaning debris will need to be performed following cleaning operations at the time of repainting. Results from the laboratory analysis are included following the adhesion ta- bles. 1,000,000 Gallon Elevated Tank, "Northwest Elevated Water Tank" City of Fort Worth, Texas ULTRASONIC THICKNESS MEASUREMENTS: Roof: (all readings were taken through coating) Cap: 0.321 in. to 0.334 in.

The site was located on the grounds of a water plant in a residential area. The nearest residence was located to the east of the tank site. Overhead power lines were located approximately 40 ft northeast 1,000,000 Gallon Elevated Tank, "Northwest Elevated Water Tank" Page 6 City of Fort Worth, Texas 13.170.5465.009 of the tank. There was a concrete ground storage tank, an antenna building, antennas, and a pump sta- tion were located on the site. (See photos 1-7) 2. Site Conditions: The tank site was covered with grass and was graded to provide ade- quate drainage away from the foundations. The tank site was fenced. The chain link fence was topped with barbed wire and was equipped with three gates. The main gate was located to the northeast of the tank, the gate at the pump station entrance was located to the southwest of the tank, and there was a personnel gate located to the west of the tank. The fence appeared to be in good overall condition with the exception of a bent fence post. There was above -grade piping and a light pole on the site. Excava- tion was taking place on the site at the time of this field evaluation. (See photos 3-8) 3. Foundations: Numerous hairline cracks were observed in the tank foundations, and rebar was exposed at one area of spalling. The corners had been chipped on several of the foundations. The tops of the column foundations exceeded the AWWA recommended projection of 6 in. to 12 in. above grade. The riser foundation also exceeded the recommended projection. No coating was visible on the exposed concrete surfaces at the time of this field evaluation except for overspray from the tower coat- ing. There was a bush growing against foundation #3. (See photos 8-15, 20-25) 4. Grout: The column and riser base plates were equipped with a pad of grout between the base plates and the tops of the foundations. The grout appeared to be in adequate condition as there were no significant deficiencies observed with the exception of the grout on foundation #10 that exhib- ited cracking. There was no sealant located at the grout -to -base plate interface. (See photos 8-9, 11- 13, 15, 20-24) B.

The exterior coating exhibited very poor adhesion to the underlying coating. 2. Base Plates: The column and riser base plates appeared to be in adequate overall condi- tion at the time of the field evaluation. Light debris and minor coating failures were observed on the base plate projection. Heavy coating was noted on the exposed base plates, and the coating had cracked and chipped. Grounding cables were attached to some of the column base plates. (See photos 8-9, 11-13, 15-25) 3. Anchor Bolts: Each of the columns was equipped with 2 anchor bolts, and the riser was equipped with 6 anchor bolts. The anchor bolts were in overall good condition at the titne of this evaluation with only minor coating failure and corrosion noted. Previous metal loss was noted on the top of one of the bolts. (See photos 8-9, 12, 16, 20-21, 24) 4. Column Condition: The columns were constructed from two I-beam members. The col- umns appeared to be in nearly their original structural condition at the time of the field evaluation. The exterior coating exhibited very poor adhesion to the underlying coating. The coating on the col- umns had chalked and chipped, and runs and debris were noted in the coating. Vegetation was grow- ing up the cables attached to the columns. An electrical control cabinet, the tank nameplate, and two lightning protection nameplates were located on the columns. The tank nameplate was riveted to a 6 in. x 8 in. plate. (See photos 1-3, 8-9, 12, 19-21, 31-37, 59, 61, 63-65, 67-69, 80-83, 87-91, 93) 1,000,000 Gallon Elevated Tank, "Northwest Elevated Water Tank" City of Fort Worth, Texas 5. Riser Condition: The riser was of welded construction. The riser appeared to be in nearly its original structural condition at the time of the field evaluation.

The girders appeared to be in adequate condition at the time of this evaluation. (See photos 1, 2, 69, 72-73, 81-84, 87, 93) 14. Roof Condition: There was a TCEQ and sanitary deficiency noted: missing and mis- aligned anode hand hole cover plates resulted in uncovered openings in the roof plates. The con- tour of the roof was adequate at the time of this evaluation. The coating on the roof had very poor ad- hesion to the underlying coating. Widespread areas of disbanded topcoat were observed, and pinhole rust was observed at the roof weld seams. The roof coating had chalked. The roof was equipped with 17 in. high "T" beams in a radius around a center hub. Cathodic protection anode hand holes and cover plates were located in the roof plates. Several of the cover plates were improperly positioned or the covers were missing, which would allow water run-off and insects to enter the tank interior. There were four antennas attached to the roof beams, and a lightning rod on one of the beams. There was also a replica of an owl sitting on a post on the roof. Two threaded and plugged 3-1/2 in. diameter couplings were noted in the roof. (See photos 96-119) 15. Roof Safety Railing: There was a safety and OSHA deficiency noted: the gap be- tween the toe bar and the walking surface exceeded the 1/4 in. maximum allowed.

Roof Condition: The coating on the roof plates appeared to be in fair to poor overall con- dition. The interior roof coating exhibited good adhesion to the steel. Spot coating failure and corro- sion were observed on the interior roof, and light corrosion was observed on the roof plate edges. Ar- eas of touched -up coating were also observed. Wiring for a cathodic protection system was located in the roof of the tank. Erection lugs were located on the roof plates. It is the opinion of Tank Industry Consultants that the erection lugs should not be used for rigging purposes. (See photos 129-137) 3. Shell Condition: The coating on the interior shell appeared to be in fair to poor overall condition. The shell coating was discolored due to mineral staining from the water. There was no sig- nificant coating failure or corrosion observed on the interior shell surface at the time of this field evaluation. 4. Interior Container Ladder: There was a ladder on the tank interior that provided access from the ladder platform to the bowl of the tank. The ladder was equipped with a safe -climbing de- vice. The interior ladder was welded to brackets were welded to the access tube. The interior con- tainer ladder and brackets appeared to be in nearly their original structural condition at the time of this field evaluation with some coating failure and corrosion observed at the weld seams. (See photos 138- 139, 145-146, 150) 5. Overflow Pipe: The tank was equipped with an interior overflow pipe that extended from a penetration in the access tube down through the riser where it penetrated the riser near grade. The overflow pipe was equipped with a funnel -type inlet. The location of the overflow inlet was such that the top capacity level was below the roof cap. Coating failure, corrosion, metal loss, and rust tubercles were observed on the overflow pipe brackets and the edges of the funnel. There was a 16 in. diameter 1,000,000 Gallon Elevated Tank, "Northwest Elevated Water Tank" Page 17 City of Fort Worth, Texas 13. 170.S465 .009 plate in the riser that holds a 3 in. x 3 in. x 1/4 in. angle overflow bracket. (See photos 140-144, 151- 152, 157-161, 163, 167-168) 6. Access Tube Condition: The coating on the access tube appeared to be in poor overall condition with significant blistering observed. There was a platform located at the top of the access tube. The platform was constructed of diamond plate and was equipped with a safety railing. The platform provided access from the access tube ladder to the container ladder. The platform appeared to be in good overall condition at the time of this evaluation. There was a light fixture at the ladder plat- form. (See photos 138 -139, 141, 143-150) 7. Bowl Condition: The coating on the bowl appeared to be in fair to poor overall condition. The bowl coating adhesion was good. Previous pitting up to 0.02 in. deep was observed. There was a grate over the riser opening in the bowl of the tank. The grate was equipped with a hinged opening for access to the riser interior. Erection lugs were located on the floor plates. It is the opinion of Tank Industry Consultants that the erection lugs should not be used for rigging purposes. (See photos 140, 142, 145, 150-156) 8. Riser Condition: The coating on the interior riser appeared to be in fair overall condition and had good adhesion. A significant amount of blistered coating was noted in the riser. Touched -up coating was observed on the weld between riser cans 1 and 2, and active pitting was observed on the other weld seams. There was an 11 in. diameter patch plate on the floor of the riser. (See photos 151- 170) 9. Interior Riser Ladder: There was a safety and OSHA deficiency noted: the 17-1/2 in. head clearance did not meet the minimum 30 in. head clearance required. The ladder was equipped with a safe -climbing device. The interior riser ladder and brackets appeared to be in nearly their original structural condition at the time of this field evaluation with only minor corrosion ob- served at the bracket weld seams. (See photos 151-152, 157) 10. Riser Piping: There were AWWA, TCEQ, and operational deficiencies observed: (1) the inlet/outlet pipe was not equipped with a protective cover, and (2) the inlet/outlet pipe ap- peared to contain a Lead joint. The inlet/outlet pipe was located in the base of the riser. The inlet/outlet pipe projected 34 in. above the riser base plate. Coating failure, corrosion, and pitting were observed on the inlet/outlet pipe. The tank was equipped with a drain pipe in the bottom of the riser. (See photos 151-152, 157, 167-170) 11. Cathodic Protection System: The container was equipped with a cathodic protection sys- tem. The system consisted of niobium wire anodes. The cathodic protection anode system was sup- ported from the roof of the tank. The wiring appeared to be intact. It appeared as though the cathodic protection system was operating properly as no significant corrosion was observed at the areas of coat- ing failure. The reference electrode was adjacent to the container ladder. (See photos 129-130, 132, 136, 149, 151) 1,000,000 Gallon Elevated Tank, "Northwest Elevated Water Tank" City of Fort Worth, Texas Page 18 13.170,S465.009 RECOMMENDATIONS: A. Foundations and Site 1. Site Maintenance: The site should be regraded so that the top of all foundations projects a minimum of 6 in. to a maximum of 12 in. above grade and so that proper drainage away from the foundations occurs. Site maintenance should be performed with the mower discharge directed away from the base of the tank to prevent rock chips in the coating and the accumulation of grass on the base plates. Any damaged fencing should be repaired or replaced. The gates should be locked at all tunes to deter unauthorized entry and limit liability for the Owner. 2. Site Access and Restoration: Provisions should be included in the specifications for the restoration of any paving, curbing, sidewalks, fences, sod, or other surfaces and structures disturbed by the contractor's work 3. Tank and Site Security: Water tanks have been defined by some courts under certain cir- cumstances as attractive nuisances. As such, there may be a significant potential liability to the Owner for injury to persons on the tank and tank site, even if access is not authorized. Recent events have prompted the entire water industry to consider measures that inhibit intentional acts that could threaten the water supply. A review of the security requirements for the tank and site is recommended to con- firm that the existing measures are consistent with the Owner's security requirements for their water system. Primary tank and site security should be focused on eliminating, preventing, and detecting unauthorized access to the tank. Such security measures might include routinely and periodically veri- fying all doors, manholes, and gates are locked, and all exterior ladders have suitable deterrents. Other security measures might include installing no -trespass signs, cutting the vegetation away from the tank and fence to improve visibility, improving the fence, upgrading the existing site lighting, adding mo- tion detectors on the site, installing surveillance cameras, installing alarms on gates, doors, and tank manholes, and arranging more frequent site visits by law enforcement agencies. 4. Foundations: When the tank exterior is repainted, any unsound concrete should be chipped to sound material and the concrete should be brush-off blasted. Any deteriorated areas or voids found should have a bonding agent and a vinyl emollient modified concrete patching mortar ap- plied to build up the surface to its original contour. All exposed rebar should be spot cleaned and coated prior to foundation repair. The concrete should then be painted with a concrete sealer. Vegeta- tion should not be permitted to encroach on the tank foundations, base plates, or columns. 5. Grout Maintenance: All loose grout should be chipped away to solid material when the tank is empty. Any shim plates that can be removed should be taken out. Any voids in the grout should be filled with a nonshrinking, nonstaining, structural grout material. The grout should be placed as far back under the base plates as possible and squared off vertically with the edge of the base plates. Any gap between the steel base plates and the grout should be filled with a flexible sealant. 6. Antennas: The number and placement of the antennas, cables, and other associated equipment on the site and mounted on this tank will complicate the repainting of the tank. If left in place the antennas, cables, and related equipment may be damaged even though steps are taken to pro- tect the components from blasting and other work related activities. Leaving this equipment in place will also increase the cost and duration of the project. If possible, it is recommended that the antennas and antenna cables be removed prior to the work and reinstalled at the completion of the project. At a 1,000,000 Gallon Elevated Tank, "Northwest Elevated Water Tank" City of Fort Worth, Texas minimum, the equipment should be de -energized during work to minimize the workers exposure to radio frequencies (RF). The contract between the Owner and the antenna companies will need to be reviewed to determine if removal and de-energization is possible and who bears responsibility for the cost and liability of the equipment removal. If possible, lease requirements regarding all equipment relocation should be written in advance of all rehabilitation operations. If the equipment cannot be removed, it will need to be determined who bears the cost and liability for removing or replacing any equipment that becomes darnaged during work operations. Additional considerations during work op- erations will also be required including worker exposures to RF emissions, which may shorten work- days; how to place and construct containment to prevent fugitive dust emissions; and adequately clean- ing and painting in the hard to reach areas created by the locations of this equipment. 7. Overhead Power Lines: All overhead power lines within 40 ft of the tank should be relocated underground in order to prevent potential electrical shock to personnel working on the tank. The relocation of the power lines should be performed in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC) guidelines. Page 19 13.170.3465.009 B. Exterior Tower and Container 1. Life of the Exterior Coating: The exterior coating system appeared to be in poor overall condition as widespread topcoat failure was noted. Tank Industry Consultants believes that the exte- rior of the container and tower surfaces should be painted within the next I to 2 years. Due to the very poor adhesion of the existing exterior coating, topcoating does not appear to be an option. The exterior coating system should be evaluated immediately prior to preparing specifications to determine if the coating adhesion is still adequate to accept a topcoat. 2. Coating Testing: Prior to preparation of specifications for the cleaning and coating of the exterior of the tank, samples of the exterior coating system should be subjected to laboratory analysis to test for ingredients which may at that time be subject to regulations concerning their handling and disposal. 3. Cleaning: Due to the fact that the present exterior coatings appear to contain lead, coating removal should be performed in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations relative to the re- moval of heavy-metal based coatings. When the exterior is to be cleaned, all varieties of containment should be investigated. Containtnent of the wind-blown debris will be required, and containment of paint droplets may be required due to the proximity of the adjacent residences and water department facilities. 4. Recommended Coating System: a. Complete Cleaning and Repainting: The optimum long -life coating system pres- ently available for this site is an epoxy -polyurethane coating system. Properly formulated and applied polyurethanes have good resistance to condensation, mildew, and chipping. The poly- urethanes also have excellent color and gloss retention and the longest expected service life of any of the cornmon exterior tank coatings. The typical life of a properly applied epoxy - polyurethane coating system is approximately 15 to 20 years. These coatings are also presently manufactured to meet current VOC requirements. 1,000,000 Gallon Elevated Tank, "Northwest Elevated Water Tank" Page 20 City of Fort Worth, Texas 13.170.S465.009 b. Coating Application: When the tank is to be repainted, the tank should be com- pletely cleaned and repainted. The entire tank exterior should be cleaned to the equivalent of an SSPC-SP 6, Commercial Blast Cleaning and have an epoxy -primed, epoxy intermediate and polyurethane finish coating system applied. However, care must be taken during the application of this particular coating system because this coating does have poor dry -fall characteristics, and potential damage to the surrounding property must be taken into consideration. The polyure- thane coatings also require close monitoring of temperature and humidity during application. 5. Effective Service Life: Tank Industry Consultants defines the life of a coating as the amount of time before repainting becomes necessary due to coating failure and corrosion. During the coating life, the Owner should expect the coating to lose its gloss, start to chalk, show signs of weath- ering, and possibly some rust staining. Future touch-up may be required on isolated coating failures. If aesthetics are a concern, the Owner may have to topcoat the repainted tank prior to the end of the expected service life. However, future topcoating would be less expensive than complete cleaning and recoating and could delay the next complete cleaning and repainting for many years. 6. Other Systems: With air emission volatile organic compounds (VOC) restrictions being put in place around the nation, alternative coating systems may become available which would be vi- able options for this tank. The Owner should review the available systems prior to preparing specifica- tions for the recoating project. 7. Coating Curing: It would be more economical to paint the tank exterior at the same time the interior wet is painted, since the tank must be drained while the exterior is painted, and the applied coatings cure. This will also reduce mobilization and observation costs. 8. Rehabilitation Schedule: To obtain the lowest possible prices for the work outlined in the recommendations, the Owner should have the specifications prepared and the work bid in the early fall, with the work scheduled to start in early winter. 9. Grinding and Bracket Removal: Any unused brackets or erection lugs should be re- moved prior to the exterior repainting. Any weld burrs, weld spatter, or erection scars should be ground off to provide a smooth surface for the application of the coating. 10. Nameplates: The tank nameplates should be removed for the cleaning and coating of the tank. The nameplates should be cleaned and reattached to the tank using new brackets. 11. Electrical Apparatus: All unused electrical conduit, antennas, fixtures, electrical meter- ing equipment, cathodic protection apparatus, and control cabinets should be removed from the tank and tank site. All required equipment should be repaired in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC). 12. Pressure Gauge: A pressure gauge that complies with TCEQ requirements should be in- stalled on the tank. 13. Anchor Bolts: After abrasive blast cleaning, the anchor bolts and nuts should be exam- ined for deterioration. If deterioration is found and the anchor bolts are mild steel, the deteriorated ar- eas of the anchor bolts should be repair welded as necessary. 1,000,000 Gallon Elevated Tank, "Northwest Elevated Water Tank" Page 21 City of Fort Worth, Texas 13.170.5465.009 14. Riser Manhole: At the time of recoating and repairs, the gasket for the manhole should be replaced and the bolts should be replaced with stainless steel bolts. 15. Riser Rods: The riser rods should not be used for rigging or personnel access. The ends of the rods attached to the riser through the angle stiffener should be safely accessed and exam- ined for structural deterioration of the threaded ends and nuts. 16. Tower Ladder: At the time of the exterior repainting, the safe -climbing device should be cleaned and protected from the application of the exterior coating. 17. Vandal Deterrent: The addition of side plates on both sides of the existing vandal deter- rent would offer the Owner further protection from unauthorized access to the ladder and tank. 18. Overflow Pipe: The proper operation of the flap gate should be monitored to prevent in ingress of insects and small animals into the tank. 19. Clog -Resistant Vent: The tank was not equipped with a clog -resistant vent. AWWA Standards recommend that all vents with screening against insects be designed to ensure "fail-safe" operation if the insect screens become occluded. Inadequate ventilation could cause a tank collapse if the tank is rapidly drained while the screen is occluded or frosted over. Therefore, a clog -resistant vent should be installed in the roof. 20. Roof Manhole: The roof manhole and cover should be locked to improve water system security. 21. Cathodic Protection Hand Holes: All cathodic protection hand holes should have the covers repositioned or and new covers and gaskets installed. If a hanging anode system will not be used in the future, then the openings should be welded shut when repainting the tank. 22. Obstruction Lights: The Owner should file a FAA Form 7460 to verify the need for ob- struction lighting on the tank. If the lighting is required, new bulbs and globes should be installed, as well as a photoelectric cell. If the lighting is not required, the light assembly and all associated con- duits and brackets should be removed. C. Interior Dry Surfaces 1. Life of the Lnterior Dry Coating: The interior dry coating system in the access tube ap- peared to be in adequate condition and appeared to be providing adequate protection to the majority of the steel surfaces. Tank Industry Consultants believes that the interior dry surface should not need to be completely cleaned painted within the next 5 to 7 years from a corrosion standpoint. However the interior dry should be spot cleaned and coated in conjunction with the exterior and interior recoating. Due to the good overall adhesion of the existing coating, spot cleaning and spot coating would be an option. The interior dry coating system should be evaluated immediately prior to preparing specifica- tions to determine if the coating adhesion is still adequate for spot cleaning and spot coating. 2. Coating Testing: Prior to preparation of specifications for the cleaning and coating of the interior dry portions of the tank, several samples of the coating system should be subjected to labora- 1,000,000 Gallon Elevated Tank, "Northwest Elevated Water Tank" City of Fort Worth, Texas tory analysis to test for ingredients which may at that handling and disposal. 3. Recommended Coating System: Page 22 13.170.S465.009 tune be subject to regulations concerning their a. Spot Clean and Spot Coat: The condition of the interior dry surfaces may allow spot cleaning and spot coating. The typical life of a spot cleaned and topcoated system is ap- proximately 8 to 10 years, but is highly dependent on previous surface preparation and the condi- tion of the underlying coating system b. Coating Application: If the interior dry surfaces are to be spot cleaned and spot coated, the entire interior dry surfaces of the tank should be high-pressure washed to remove chalked coating, mildew, and contaminants. After washing, the damaged and rusted areas should be spot cleaned to the equivalent of an SSPC-SP 6, Commercial Blast Cleaning, or SSPC-SP 11, Power Tool Cleaning to Bare Metal. All areas of excessive coating thickness and runs in the coating should be cleaned to the equivalent of an SSPC-SP 7, Brush -Off Blast Cleaning, to re- move the excessive mils. The spot cleaned areas should receive a spot prime coat compatible with the present coating system. The spot primed areas should then be spot coated with a finish coat compatible with the present coating system. 4. Alternative Coating System: a. Complete Cleaning and Repainting: If the Owner chooses to remove and replace the existing coating system, the interior dry surfaces should be cleaned to the equivalent of an SSPC-SP 6, Commercial Blast Cleaning and have a two -coat epoxy coating system applied. The typical life of a properly formulated and applied epoxy coating system is approximately 15 to 20 years or more in a dry environment. These coatings are also presently manufactured to meet cur- rent VOC requirements. b. Equipment in the Tank Base: Precautions should be taken to protect the equip- ment in the base of the tank prior to cleaning or painting operations. 5. Grinding and Bracket Removal: Any unused brackets or erection lugs should be re- moved prior to the interior dry repainting. Any weld burrs, weld spatter, or erection scars should be ground off to provide a smooth surface for the application of the coating. 6. Electrical Apparatus: All unused electrical conduit, fixtures, electric metering equip- ment, cathodic protection apparatus, and control cabinets should be removed from the tank and tank site. All required equipment should be repaired and maintained in accordance with the National Elec- tric Code (NEC). 7. Access Tube Ladder: At the time of the interior dry repainting, the safe -climbing devices should be cleaned and protected from the application of the interior dry coating. The bees' nest should be removed. 8. Access Tube Weld Seam: The horizontal access tube weld seam should be arc gouged and re -welded. 1,000,000 Gallon Elevated Tank, "Northwest Elevated Water Tank" Page 23 City of Fort Worth, Texas 13.170.S465. 009 9. Interior Dry Lighting: The lighting fixtures in the access tube should be regularly main- tained. Any burned out bulbs, damaged globes, or missing cages or fixtures should be replaced. D. Interior Wet Surfaces 1. Life of the Interior Coating: The interior coating system appeared to be in generally fair to poor condition. Spot coating failures in the shell, bowl, and riser had allowed pitting to occur. Tank Industry Consultants recommends that the interior surfaces of this tank should be recoated in 1 to 2 years. It is recommended that when the interior is completely cleaned and repainted, an epoxy coating system should be used. 2. Coating Testing: Prior to preparation of specifications for the cleaning and coating of the interior of the tank, samples of the interior coating system should be subjected to laboratory analysis to test for ingredients which may at that time be subject to regulations concerning their handling and dis- posal. 3. Recommended Lrterior Coating System: a. Epoxy Coating System: The optimum long -life coating system presently available for the interior of water tanks is a two -component epoxy coating system. A two -coat epoxy sys- tem is recommended for the interior of this tank. This coating system should meet the certifica- tion criteria of ANSUNSF 61 and state department of health regulations. b. Coating Application: When the interior is to be repainted, the entire tank interior should be cleaned to the equivalent of an SSPC-SP 10, Near -White Blast Cleaning and an epoxy coating system applied. c. Service Life: The typical life of a properly formulated and applied epoxy coating system is approximately 12 to 15 years in immersion service. Tank Industry Consultants defines the life of a coating as the expected service life before repainting becomes necessary due to coat- ing failure and corrosion. The Owner could extend the service life of the coating by installing, properly maintaining and operating a cathodic protection system to help protect the steel surfaces in areas which have experienced coating failure. 4. Cathodic Protection: Prior to repainting the tank interior, the cathodic protection system should be removed. When the tank is rehabilitated the brackets and fittings should be installed for the future installation of a cathodic protection system. a. Type: When the cathodic protection system is installed, an ice -resistant cathodic protection system which features long -life anodes, automatic potential and current control should be specified. b. Scheduling: After the interior is completely cleaned and recoated, the cathodic pro- tection system should not be energized until after the First Anniversary Evaluation. The Owner should conduct washouts and evaluations approximately every 3 years to monitor the need for 1,000,000 Gallon Elevated Tank, "Northwest Elevated Water Tank" City of Fort Worth, Texas cathodic protection. As the interior coating begins to show signs of failure, the cathodic protec- tion system should be energized to aid in minimizing corrosion below the top capacity level. c. Maintenance: Cathodic protection, if used and maintained properly, will control ac- tive corrosion below the water level and extend the useful life of a coating system. It should be noted that maintenance as recommended by the cathodic protection manufacturer is required for the cathodic protection system to work properly. Without proper monitoring, the cathodic pro- tection system may operate too high and cause the coating to blister, or the system may operate too low and not adequately protect the exposed steel surfaces. 5. Pit Welding and Pit Filling: After initial cleaning, all significant pitting which is found should be welded, and all pitting with rough edges that would make the pitting difficult to coat prop- erly should be filled with a solventless epoxy seam sealer. 6. Seam Sealing: The existing roof manhole and existing roof vent intersections should be sealed with an epoxy seam sealer at the time of the interior recoating. 7. Rough Edges: AU unused brackets should be removed from the interior and exterior sur- faces at the time of the next recoating. Any weld burrs, spatter, scars or rough edges in the steel should be ground smooth to provide a better surface for coating. 8. Overflow Pipe: Overflow pipes on the interior of tanks are exposed to the potential of ice damage and accelerated corrosion and metal loss rates. This results in the potential of pipe damage and an unanticipated tank draining. Therefore, Tank Industry Consultants and the AWWA Standard D100 recommend relocating the pipe to the tank exterior. The overflow pipe should exit the top shell ring and extend to approximately 24 in. above grade attached to the shell by welded steel brackets. The overflow pipe discharge should be equipped with a screened, counter -weighted flap gate or elas- tomeric check valve to prevent the ingress of birds, small animals, and insects into the tank. The air break should be adequately sized to allow the proper functioning of the new flap gate. The overflow effluent should be directed away from the foundation using a concrete splash block or the existing drainage basin. 9. Inlet/Outlet Pipe: The inlet/outlet pipe should be equipped with a protective cover to de- flect foreign objects from the pipe in accordance with AWWA D100. The suspected lead joint at the inlet/outlet pipe -to -floor penetration should be verified and removed or isolated from contact with the water.

Proper maintenance after completing the recommendations herein would in- clude periodic washouts and evaluations approximately every 3 years, annual TCEQ evaluations, and the installation and proper maintenance of a new ice -resistant cathodic protection system with long -life anodes. Contractor Selection: The work should be performed by a competent bonded contractor, chosen from competitive bids taken on complete and concise specifications. The coatings used should be furnished by an experienced water tank coating manufacturer, supplying the field service required for application of technical coatings. Standards for Repairs and Coatings: All work done and coatings applied should be applied in ac- cordance with NACE, ANSI/NSF Standard 61, the manufacturer's recommendation, AWWA D100 and AWWA D102 (latest revisions), TCEQ, and the SSPC: The Society for Protective Coatings. Observation of Work: Observation of the work in progress by experienced personnel will offer addi- tional assurance of quality protective coating application. Observations can be performed on a con- tinuous basis or spot (critical phase) basis. The actual cost of' observation may be less using spot as opposed to full-time resident observation; however, with spot observation it is often necessary for work to be redone to comply with the specifications. This somewhat lowers the quality of the finished product, lengthens the job, and is frequently a cause of conflict between the contractor, Owner, and field technician. Resident full-time observation minimizes the amount of "rework" required. Anniversary and Maintenance Evaluations: An anniversary evaluation should be conducted prior to the end of the one year bonded guarantee. Washouts and coating, structural, sanitary, safety, and cor- rosion evaluations should be conducted not less than every three years. Time Frame: If the work is not performed within the next 12 months, the structure should be reevalu- ated prior to the preparation of specifications and solicitation of bids. Specifications and Bidding Documents: The recommendations in this report are not intended to be specifications on which a contractor can bid. Complete bidding documents must include general and special conditions, detailed technical specifications, and other information necessary for the competi- tive bidding process. To properly protect the interests of the Owner, Contractor, and Engineer; the ini- tial evaluation, the technical specifications, legal portions of the contract documents, and the observa- tion should be performed by the same firm or with close coordination of all parties involved. Limitations of Evaluation: It is believed that the conditions reported herein reflect the condition of the tank as observed on the date of' the evaluation, using reasonable care in making the observations, and safety in gaining access to the tank. Should latent defects be discovered during the cleaning of the structure, they should be brought to the attention of the Owner and the Engineer. Seismic and Wind Loadings: This tank is located in or near a region of low seismic activity. This evaluation and the reporting of the condition of this tank do not warrant the structural condition of the tank or any of the original design for seismic loadings. Likewise, recommendations for this tank do not include modifications that may be required for compliance with present structural codes. It is pos- 1,000,000 Gallon Elevated Tank "Northwest Elevated Water Tank" City of Fort Worth, Texas Page 28 13.170. 5465.009 include modifications that may be required for compliance with present structural codes. It is possible the tank was erected in compliance with pre-existing industry standards that have since been replaced by more restrictive standards. Hazardous Materials in Coatings: Samples taken of the coatings on the exterior and interior wet of this structure indicated a presence of lead (and possible other heavy-metal) pigments. It should be taken into consideration that Federal, State, and local environmental agencies have placed stricter con- trols on the removal of lead -based and other heavy-metal based coatings from steel structures by the use of conventional abrasive blasting techniques. The paint and blast residue may be considered to be hazardous waste depending on the concentration of lead or other particles in residue.
