1. Water and chlorine shall be added to the storage facility in amounts such that the solution will initially contain 50 mg/L available chlorine and will fill approximately 5 percent of the total storage volume. This solution shall be sprayed directly onto all surfaces of the water storage facility that would be in contact with water when the water storage facility is full to the overflow elevation. This solution shall be held in the storage facility for a period of not less than 6 hours. The storage facility shall then be filled to the overflow level by flowing potable water into the highly chlorinated water. It shall be held full for a period of not less than 24 hours.

A. The Engineer or an outside inspection service representing the Engineer will make inspections noted in this Article. Additional inspection will be made if required. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to request an inspection by at least the end of the second day proceeding the inspection day. Should Engineer be summoned to inspect a completed phase of construction and find the work incomplete and, therefore, not ready for inspection, the Contractor shall bear the cost of inspection. It is not the intent to charge the Contractor for an inspection if discrepancies

5106-03 PAINTING (CLEANING, REPAIRING AND RE-PAINTING 099713-9

are found in the completed phase of construction as long as the discrepancies do not necessitate additional inspection trips.

B. The following inspections will be made:

1. After uncoated surfaces in the interior of a tank have been blast cleaned and before coatings are applied, the uncoated surfaces in the exterior of a tank, tower, and appurtenances shall be blasted and primed immediately; however, if the inspector removes any field primer, over blasted or shop primed areas and finds evidence of improper blasting and cleaning, the inspector may order all questionable coatings removed by blasting and the cleaned areas reprimed at no cost to the Owner.

2. After all coating work has been completed; at this time, the total required mil thickness, lack of “holidays” and aesthetic acceptability will be checked by the Engineer.

Additionally, a first anniversary inspection shall be made at approximately one-year’s time after the painting work has been completed to determine whether any repair work is necessary. The Owner shall establish the date for the inspection and shall notify the

Contractor at least 30 days in advance. If an inspection day has not been established with

13 months after final acceptance of the painting work by the Owner, the first anniversary inspection shall be considered to be waived. The Owner shall drain the tank, and the

Contractor shall provide all lighting, ventilation and other equipment necessary to complete the inspection.

Any location where coats of paint have peeled off, bubbled or cracked and any location where rusting is evident shall be considered to be a failure of the paint system. The

Contractor shall make repairs at no cost to the Owner at all points where failures are observed by removing the deteriorated coating, cleaning the surface and recoating with the same paint system. If the areas of failures exceeds 25 percent of the area of a portion of the tank surface, then for that portion, the entire paint system shall be removed and repainted. For purposes of determining the need for complete repainting, the inside roof, shell and floor and the outside roof, shell and floor shall be considered separately.

The Contractor shall prepare and deliver to the Owner an inspection report covering the first anniversary inspection, setting forth the number and type of failure observed, the percentage of the surface area where failure has occurred, and the names of the persons making the inspection. Color photographs shall be included in the report.

C. The Contractor shall furnish the following for purposes of inspection by the Owner.

1. Pictorial surface preparation standards as provided by the Steel Structures Painting

Council (SSPC-Vis 1) or the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTMD2200):

2. Wet film thickness measurement gauge;

3. Dry film thickness measurement gauge;

4. Certified thickness calibration standards;

5. Steel temperature gauges;

5106-03 PAINTING (CLEANING, REPAIRING AND RE-PAINTING 099713-10

6. Wet bulb and dry bulb temperature-measuring equipment and psychometric tables;

7. Low voltage wet sponge instrument; and

8. “Tooke” gauge.

Additionally, the Contractor shall provide any necessary rigging to facilitate the inspection of all tank areas. Proper coordination with the Engineer is intended to prevent extensive re-rigging by the Contractor. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the Contractor to keep the Owner fully informed on the status of the painting operation.

3.8 SCHEDULING OF WORK

The cleaning and painting of the elevated water storage tank shall be coordinated with the Owner so that the Owner can make arrangements for a constant pressure water supply.

3.9 CONTAINMENT AND DISPOSAL OF DEBRIS

A. The Contractor shall prevent the migration of any abrasive blast media, dust, and paint residue onto or from the property of the OWNER. Refer to SSPC-Guide 6 I (CON) Guide for Containing

Debris Generated During Paint Removal Operations. Containment shall be in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local requirements.

B. The Contractor shall be responsible for all cost associated with containment and waste disposal that may result from the execution of this project.
