About this file
This is Addendum No. 1 to an advertised contract issued by Paulding County for exterior painting of the Shipp Road Water Tank (Bid #26019-3802). The amendment clarifies evaluation criteria and project requirements for interested bidders. The letting date for this project is March 27, 2026. Key project components include exterior painting work on an elevated storage tank and repair to the access walkway catwalk. The specification documents are included in the bid package, and contractors must provide detailed drawings and plans for the access walkway repair work, which requires a general contractor's license due to structural repair components.
The addendum provides critical clarifications regarding staffing and certification requirements. GASB 34 Compliance documentation is not required for submission. The contractor must arrange and pay for a NACE Level 3 Certified Coating Inspector from the paint manufacturer to visit the job site and verify compliance with specifications; Paulding County may additionally hire a third-party inspector. The previously listed requirements for 50+ NACE Inspectors, 45+ SSPC Inspectors, and 40+ Certified Welders have been revised to require a minimum of 1+ certified professional on staff in each category (NACE Inspectors, SSPC Inspectors, and Certified Welders). The ISO 9001:2005 certification requirement has been removed and is no longer mandatory for qualification. Bidders should reference Section 5.6 on page 13 of the specification document for detailed inspection procedures and standards.

Could you please confirm whether this letter is a required document for the submission?

See section 5.6 on page 13 of 34.
It looks like the RFP requires the coating manufacturer to provide a NACE Level
3. Will Paulding County have a third-party perform coating inspections?
Answer - See section 5.6 on page 13 of 34. In addition, Paulding County may have a third-party come in to perform an inspection.
After reviewing the Evaluation Criteria Factors, we have a few questions regarding the staffing and certification requirements:
• Factors 8–10: These sections currently list a requirement for 50+ NACE Inspectors, 45+ SSPC Inspectors, and 40+ Certified Welders on staff.
Since these numbers are exceptionally high for the industry, could you please confirm if these specific totals are mandatory for the bidder?

The listed item16) Respondent needs to be ISO 9001:2005 Certified will not be required on this project
Could you please let me know the process for obtaining the necessary bidding documents? Specifically, we are looking for:
• The specification book

Answer: The specification for both the painting and the logo are in the bid documents.
The information in this response will be part of the first addendum.
Page 30 of your package refers to a General Contractor. The text refers to a Contractor.
Our expertise is in storage tanks, elevated and ground.
There doesn't seem to be any structural changes required, so I was wondering whether a contractor's license is actually required for a tank rehab.
Answer: See line item 3. A contractor’s license will be needed for the repair work to the catwalk.
May I please get any inspection reports and more detail on line item 3 "access walkway repair?"
Answer: During the last cleaning of the Shipp Road Elevated tank in 2020, the contractor doing the cleaning of the tank informed the County that repair to the cat walk was probably necessary for future safety during maintenance. See Part 3 – Execution Section 3.01 General. Access walkway repairs must have a drawing included that explains the repair and the contractor’s plans to complete.
