This is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) technical specifications document issued by New Braunfels Utilities in Texas for the rehabilitation of the Kerlick Elevated Storage Tank, Phase 2, designed by Freese and Nichols, Inc. The project encompasses full rehabilitation of the interior and exterior coating systems for the existing 0.75 million gallon steel multi-leg elevated storage tank, including structural repairs and replacement of appurtenances. Additional work includes civil site improvements such as overflow pipe discharge routing, altitude valve replacement, gates, and fencing; replacement of tank instrumentation and heat tracing systems; and demolition of an approximately 300-foot tall antenna tower located on the site. The contract documents specify a lump sum payment structure with six primary base items: Mobilization (Item A-01); Elevated Storage Tank Rehabilitation (Item A-02); Interior Coating Improvements (Item A-03); Exterior Coating Improvements (Item A-04); Electrical and Instrumentation Improvements (Item A-05); and Site Civil Improvements (Item A-06). Additional extra work items are included for additional grinding, miscellaneous welding, seam welding, pit welding, patch plates, altitude valve installation, and tower demolition, measured by various unit prices per hour, linear foot, or square inch as applicable. Work is expected to maintain existing facility operations during construction, with the Owner retaining the right to occupy or operate any portion of the project ready for use after notifying the Contractor.

The contract requires submission of a Schedule of Values at least 10 days prior to the first Application for Payment, with monthly progress payments made within 30 days of the Construction Manager's recommendation. Retainage will be withheld from each Application for Payment per the Agreement terms. The Contractor must obtain all building permits, environmental permits, and necessary licenses, with costs included in the Contract Price. A pre-construction conference must be held within 15 days after the Notice to Proceed is issued, followed by monthly progress meetings and weekly coordination meetings with the Construction Manager. All submittals, including shop drawings, product data, and progress schedules, must be delivered electronically in PDF format using the FNiManager Project Management Information System. The contract requires comprehensive documentation throughout construction, including Record Documents maintained at the Site in both printed and electronic formats, with Record Documents to be submitted to the Construction Manager for review and acceptance 30 days prior to Final Completion. The project is subject to OSHA safety requirements, environmental compliance, and compliance with the latest provisions of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) for any road work.
