About this file

This document is a proposal letter from CROM Coatings and Restorations (CCR) to the City of St. Petersburg, Florida, addressing a potential CSA (Contract Service Agreement) for ground storage tank inspection and repair services. The proposal focuses on CCR's specialized expertise in prestressed composite tank maintenance, highlighting their unique capabilities as an approved division of CROM, LLC. The document emphasizes that CCR is the sole approved contractor for repairs and modifications to prestressed composite tanks, citing AWWA Standards requiring such work to be performed under the direction of a professional engineer thoroughly familiar with wire- and strand-wrapped prestressed composite tanks.

The proposal underscores the technical complexity of prestressed composite tank maintenance, noting that the unique construction methods and material combinations require specialized knowledge. CCR positions itself as the only service company with unparalleled experience in design, construction, modification, and repair of these tanks. The letter also warns that any work performed by an unapproved contractor will void the manufacturer's warranties, reinforcing CCR's exclusive position in this niche service market. The document is dated May 9, 2025, and references a project number CROM PR# 20250244, indicating a specific procurement opportunity for tank inspection and repair services in St. Petersburg.

RE: CSA Agreement St Petersburg, Florida

CROM PR# 20250244

Dear Mr. Blocker:

CROM Coatings and Restorations (“CCR”) is offering ground storage tank inspection and repair services as an approved representative of CROM, LLC. CCR is a division of CROM, LLC which was formed to carry out the specific tasks to inspect, repair and modify prestressed composite tanks as well as other concrete structures.

The construction of prestressed composite tanks is a unique form of construction. The combination of materials and construction methods make the structures difficult to understand if not thoroughly knowledgeable in this technology. In order to properly address modifications, maintenance and repairs on prestressed tanks, the companies involved need to have considerable experience in how the tanks are designed and built. Current AWWA Standards state that maintenance and inspections performed on prestressed tanks should only be “performed under the direction of a professional engineer thoroughly familiar with wire- and strand-wrapped prestressed composite tanks and their construction.” CROM, LLC approves CCR as the sole company for any repairs and modifications performed on all of their prestressed composite tanks. CCR has unparalleled experience in the design, construction, modification and repair of prestressed composite tanks. No other service company provides this background.

The warranty as stated by the tank manufacturer requires that they be notified before any work is performed.

Any work performed is required to be done by an approved contractor. Any work performed by an unapproved contractor will void any written or implied warranties.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to assist you. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Sincerely, CROM COATINGS AND RESTORATIONS

Robert G. Oyenarte, P.E.

President
