FMC LEXINGTON – Replace Water Tower PROJECT 23Z1AN2

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

SOLICITATION 15BFA023B00000039

SUBMITTED BY CALDWELL TANKS, INC.

1. For the Tank Demolition we have the following questions.

CLARIFICATION:

a. What specific requirements will we be required to follow beyond that of OSHA, if the tank coatings contain lead paint? See statement of work, section 13

b. Are you operating under the assumption that the coatings contain lead, or do you know that with certainty? See question above. Section 13 (a)

c. Do we leave the foundation as is, including any of the various smaller foundations? Foundation to stay.

d. Are we responsible for disconnecting the piping? How do you want the piping left after the demolition is complete? Piping would need to be disconnected, so as not to cause deadheading.

e. There is a power line adjacent to the tank. Can that be depowered or relocated during demolition? If not, please provide the voltage and details of this line. No 120/208 V. Highly recommend that contractor verify.

f. Who is responsible for disposing of the material? We are willing to handle this. After review, contractor shall be responsible for disposing of material. FMC Lexington would need only the total weight of the metal.

g. IF FMC is to provide the dumpsters, please provide the dimensions of the dumpsters, the quantity, and the largest size of plate that can be placed into them. Please see above answer.

2. For the New Tank we have the following questions:

CLARIFICATION:

a. NFPA 22 is listed in Statement of Work. Is this tank to be designed and provided per the requirements of

NFPA 22?

i. Please note, at minimum this would require us to provide heaters for the tank and will also likely require us to provide insulation for the tank. 16.1.1 Tanks that are subject to freezing shall be heated. Due to the number of water exchanges, freezing has not been an issue.

ii. NFPA 22 also has requirements for internal nozzles, roof access, and other items, not listed in the Statement of Work. Which are we to follow, if NFPA 22 is to be used. See statement of work,

9) Openings, a) Roof Hatches. The Contractor shall be responsible for all labor, materials, and equipment necessary for the fabrication, construction, installation, painting, disinfection and testing of a welded carbon steel water storage tank built at grade level on a concrete foundation. Must certify/ demonstrate that new water tank meets all institutional water needs along with all ancillary equipment required for a fully functioning water distribution supply system.

b. Is the Cathodic Protection system requested internal or external to the tank? Automatically controlled rectifier systems should be used for cathodic protection of water storage tanks when AC power is available to the tank site. Automatically controlled systems use one or more long-life reference electrodes to monitor the protection levels maintained on the submerged surfaces. The rectifier controller continuously monitors the potential difference between the reference electrode and the tank’s submerged surface, referred to as the tank-to-water potential, which will be free of IR (current × resistance, or voltage) drop error. IR drop must be eliminated or minimized to accurately determine if the voltage difference between the submerged surface of the tank and the reference electrode meets the criteria for cathodic protection. The controller instantaneously interrupts the flow of cathodic protection current, providing an IR drop-free measurement, which closely approximates the polarized potential. The controller compares the measured tank to-water potential to a preset value and automatically adjusts the voltage output of the rectifier, to either increase or decrease current accordingly. Automatic units include a tank-to-water potential monitoring meter, which can be easily checked by the purchaser.

c. Is section 14 of AWWA allowed to be used? Backflow Prevention is installed on the main supply from the city.

3. For the Piping on the exterior of the New Tank we have the following questions.

CLARIFICATION:

b. We are to provide 500’ of new 8” discharge water pipe that ties into the existing discharge line. Where is this tie in point, how are we to get there (if this is not a straight line, where should we run this)? This line is presumably underground – is there any requirements of the depth it is to be buried? You are tying into existing line with minimal bends, the depth would be the same depth of the existing.

c. We have the same questions about the 100’ of new 8” water supply piping. See answer above.

d. How are we to tie into the existing piping? See statement of work, Section C (2). We don’t instruct contractor on what techniques are needed to tie into existing water main.

e. Will valves be required at the tie in location, if so what type? If contractor deems it cost effective.

f. Will manholes be required or shut off vault/sleeve at the tie in location of valves are required, if so what type? See answer above, or Section C (7) underground vault. And (10) Mechanical Piping.

4. What type of fencing is required around our job site?

CLARIFICATION: At a minimum, caution tape

5. Please provide details of the tool tracking program:

CLARIFICATION

a. Will inspections be pre and post workday? No, as long as tools do not go within 50 feet of secure fencing.

b. Can we work an 8-hour day and have our foreman conduct these either before or after the workday? Yes, you can work 8-hour days.

c. Would this apply to fit up gear, including the hundreds of bull pens that will be used to erect the tank? If they are not within 50’ of the secured fencing.

d. Do weld leads have to be disconnected and then reconnected at the end of and start of each workday?

They can be left connected if it doesn’t create a safety, or security concern. Leads cannot be left unsecured at the end of the workday.

6. If JLGs are used to weld the tank and expected to be moved often, do we need to barricade off the area below them? Or can we red barricade the general area around the tank?

CLARIFICATION: Please refer to CFR 1926.

7. Is the Pre-Plumb By-Pass Vault listed in section 10 A of the Statement of Work the same as the Underground Vault in Section 7?

CLARIFICATION: YES

8. For electrical we have the following questions:

CLARIFICATION:

a. Where are we performing the directional boring to and from? Rear gate building.

b. We are to install three (3) new 20-amp 120-volt circuits in new vaults that are set by others? What and where are these vaults? -One vault should suffice to include all ancillary equipment required.

c. Who will supply the power to these vaults for the new circuits? See statement of work. Section c (14) Electrical.

d. Is the contractor to provide new panelboards at the vault locations? No

e. What is the wiring conduit requirements for the power from the vaults to the tank location? Wiring in PVC conduit must have at least 18 inches of cover. Backfill surrounding conduit or cables must be smooth granular material without rocks.
