Amendment 0001 Solicitation Number: 36C24823R0083 | Upgrade Domestic Water System for Hurricane Hardening

RFIs/Question(s) and Answer(s):

No cone roof is mentioned on specification 22 12 16. The roof type shall be per the tank's manufacturer design according the tank's capacity size.

Because no contact the tank's surface with the soil, sit on a concrete mat, no cathodic protection is required.

Per spec 22 12 16 section 3.6 METALLIC COATINGS: "A. Tank members, protection shield, ladders, ladder safety cages, rigging lugs, overflow pipe and riser shall be zinc-coated (galvanized) by the hot-dip method, ASTM A123/A123M. Bolts and similar fasteners shall be zinc-coated by the hot-dip method, ASTM A153/A153M. Hot-dip galvanized surfaces abraded or burned off by welding operations shall be repaired with zinc repair compound in stick or powder form, applied in accordance with the manufacturer's printed instructions."

The tank manufacturer will furnish an Aluminum Level Board indicator similar to Shand & Jurs 92302 with a transmitter similar to Shand & Jurs MCG2420. Refer to spec. 22 12 16 section 2.6 for more information.

two values may or may not require mechanical anchorage depending on other factors. Essentially, the ASCE is requiring embedded shell steel tanks not to be used in areas where uplift occurs due to seismic activity as there is a risk of the shell separating from the concrete tank bottom during a seismic event. The preliminary design of this tank shows that the overturning ratio J is around 1.6, which indicates that the tank is not stable against overturning and hence mechanical anchorage must be provided to resist seismic loading. For most applications, Venergy will design our water tanks to use foundations types 1 through 5. With foundation types 1 through 5, the storage tank will include a steel bottom which structurally ties into the tank shell creating a one uniform structure. Please, consult with the project designers to revise the foundation construction.

The detail mentioned was not intended to limit the contractor or direct the contractor to a Type 6 tank. The referenced detail was simply meant to direct the contractor’s delegated tank designer to design the tank base anchorage to resist the code required seismic and wind forces as required. The concrete mat and piles are required and will remain unchanged.
