Solicitation 36C24818Q0468 Q&A

1. What are the dimensions of the 500,000-gallon steel above ground water storage tank?

0. The water storage area of the tower is approx. 57’ in diameter and 38’ high. Overall height is approx. 95’

1. Is there a drain located in the tank floor for settled solids/sediment and water to be flushed through during the course of the cleaning project?

1. There is no drain in the tank floor and all solids and sediment will need to be pumped out and disposed of offsite.

1. The solicitation states that the facility operator will remove the storage tank from service- Does this mean that the tank will be de-watered by West Palm Beach VA personnel, or will it be the responsibility of the vendor to dewater the structure?

2. VAMC personnel will drain the tower to the lowest possible point, however due to the design, there will still be water inside the tank that the contractor will be responsible from removing and disposing of.

1. What is the maximum time that the tank can be down and out of service for?

3. The cleaning and disinfecting process should be completed within 30 days of contract award with approx. 2-3 weeks for test results to come back. Keep in mind if the test results are unsatisfactory, the contractor is responsible for performing an additional disinfection and testing until the results meet the AWWA regulations.

1. When was this tank last cleaned and how much sediment was found at that time?

4. Tower was last cleaned in March 2016. Amount of sediment removed is unknown.
