About this file

This is Addendum No. 1 to a Request for Quote (RFQ) issued by the Rivanna Water & Sewer Authority (RWSA) for tank repair and rehabilitation services at the Stone Robinson Water Resource Recovery Facility (SRWRRF) in Charlottesville, Virginia. The scope of work encompasses temporary wastewater pumping and hauling, removal and reinstallation of existing process equipment, sandblasting of interior and exterior metal surfaces extending 6 inches below grade, installation of metal fabrications for deteriorated steel, application of protective coatings to interior and exterior surfaces, a 7-day operational performance review of reinstalled equipment, and site restoration. The addendum, dated May 8, 2026, revises the quote opening date to May 18, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Quotes may be submitted via mail, hand delivery, email, or the eVA Procurement Website. Substantial completion is required by July 15, 2026, with work anticipated to occur during June and July when the associated school is not in full session. Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. (SEH) will serve as the project engineer and third-party inspector. The addendum includes requirements for contractor qualifications, insurance, safety certifications (minimum OSHA 10), and a pre-construction safety meeting.

Quotes are submitted on a lump-sum basis with no bid bond required if the bid is below the authority's threshold. The project carries no liquidated damages or retainage provisions. A two-year warranty from the date of substantial completion is required for all coating systems, with the contractor responsible for repairs of any coating failures at no cost to the authority. No wage rate requirements apply to this project, and tax exemption will be requested upon award. The facility was constructed in 1988, and lead paint is not anticipated to be present. Section 09 97 20 of the specifications details coating system requirements, including surface preparation standards, acceptable manufacturers (BASF, CIM Industries, General Polymers, L&M Construction, Sherwin Williams, and Tnemec), environmental compliance standards, and quality control procedures. All products must be lead, chromate, mercury, and heavy metals free, with VOC compliance required under the Clean Air Act.

3.04 APPLICATION

A. Surface preparation and coating system are as indicated in the “Coating Schedule” at the end of this Section, or noted on Drawings.

09 97 20 - 8 RIVAN 190497

B. Use equipment and techniques best suited for substrate and type of material being applied.

C. Apply in accordance with manufacturer’s directions.

1. Do not apply in snow, rain, fog, mist, or damp surfaces.

2. Allow wet surfaces to dry thoroughly and attain the temperature and conditions specified before proceeding with or continuing the painting operation.

3. Work may continue during inclement weather only if areas and surfaces are enclosed and temperatures within the area can be maintained within limits specified during application and drying periods.

D. Avoid degradation and contamination of surfaces and avoid intercoat contamination.

1. Surfaces shall be free from grease, oil, abrasives, and other contaminants that may have an adverse affect on coating application, bonding, curing, or performance.

2. Clean contaminated surfaces before applying next coat.

3. Do not paint over dirt, rust, scale, grease, moisture, scuffed surfaces, or conditions otherwise detrimental to formation of a durable system.

E. Brush-apply primer or intermediate on all welds and edges prior to general application of finish coat.

F. Apply caulking to flange interfaces, gaps, and intermittent weld seams.

G. Provide finish coats that are compatible with primers used. Prime and intermediate coats shall be lighter than subsequent coat.

H. Provide application thickness to specific mil requirements. Mil thicknesses referenced are in dry mil thickness.

I. All paint systems are “full coverage.” Where discrepancies between manufacturer’s square foot coverage and mil thickness occur, use mil thickness requirements.

J. Where voids are present exposing the substrate or undercoats, apply additional coats until a uniform color and finish is obtained. Give special attention to insure that surfaces, including edges, corners, crevices, welds, and exposed fasteners receive a dry film thickness equivalent to that of flat surfaces.

K. Do not apply additional coats until Engineer has had the opportunity to inspect and approve previous coat.

L. Unless otherwise indicated, match color of adjacent walls or equipment when painting conduit, miscellaneous brackets, hangers, and supports.
