Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify (Mod #3) the professional engineering services agreement with Chester Engineers, Inc. for the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant Corrosion Prevention and Protective Coating Systems Consultant agreement, Capital Improvements Project number 650350-100002. It has been determined that the protective coatings on many structures, buildings and process items are in need of rehabilitation. This project implemented a study to do the following: (1) determine the specific areas, structures and process items in need of attention, (2) determine the procedures necessary for the rehabilitation, and (3) determine the steps necessary to inhibit deterioration in the future. The Scope of Work for this project, at the City’s discretion, consists of the following elements:
A. Conduct a detailed survey of the condition of the coatings and determine the required remedies for:
1. Buildings and structures: both interior and exterior
2. Equipment: both process and general
3. Piping systems, including gate and valve operators
4. Conduit systems.
B. Prepare a report with determinations on the survey results and recommendations.
C. Prepare a General Corrosion Prevention and Protective Coating Specification.
D. Prepare electronic bid documents for Corrosion Prevention and Protective Coating applications to the locations selected by the City. Three construction contracts are planned for this work.
The detailed survey, Condition Assessment Report, and the specification have been completed and the project contracting plan determined. The actual emplacement of the work will be by phased construction contract. The first and second of three Corrosion Prevention and Protective Coating construction contracts, Contracts S80 and S82 have been completed. The third of the three construction contracts, Contract S83, has been bid.
A contract modification is required for construction-phase engi...
