[f, I Exhibit F I AGENDA ITEM STAFF ANALYSIS Project/Issue Name: Resolution #17-R-44 A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Republic, Missouri, Accepting the Bidding Processes and Cooperative Purchasing Terms Between Visu-Sewer of Missouri, LLC and the City of Monett and Carthage Water and Electric Plant and Authorizing the City Administrator to Execute a Contractor Agreement for the Rehabilitation of Sanitary Sewer Infrastructure. Submitted By: David Brock, Public Works Director Date: June 6, 2017 Issue Statement Contract sanitary sewer collection system rehabilitation utilizing cooperative purchasing agreements. Discussion and/or Analysis Utilizing cooperative purchasing agreements for sewer rehabilitation has proven to be a highly valued means to contract for inflow and infiltration (l&I) work. The 2017 operating budget includes $60,000 for smoke testing and manhole rehabilitation. Under this proposed contract the City will hire Visu-Sewer to perform smoke testing on 30,000 feet of sewer main and install a structural relining on three manholes at a total cost of $29,228.12. The remaining appropriated funds will be utilized for sewer main rehabilitation; the contract for which is expected to be presented to City Council in the near future. The Contractor Agreement that provides basic structure to govern the work meets all Republic standards. The pricing and technical specifications are associated with awarded competitive bids conducted by the City of Monett (smoke testing) and Carthage Water and Electric Plant (manhole repair and rehabilitation). The bid specifications and executed contracts for both Monett and Carthage included cooperative pricing provisions that allow Republic or other public agencies to piggyback on their formal process. This approach allows us to avoid the delay and expense of preparing detailed technical specifications. The bid prices in these communities are substantially lower than could be expected in Republic since the quantity of work in Monett and Carthage was much greater than is being performed here. The three manholes to be repaired are located on W. Elm Street and the smoke testing will be conducted in the area between Hwy 174 and the BNSF Railroad. Recommended Action Public Works Director David Brock recommends approval of Resolution #1 7-R-44.

  • Classification of Engineering Materials, and Their Properties: 1
    ACS College of Engineering, Bangalore Assistant professor/Aeronautical Classification Of Engineering Materials, And Their Properties: 1] Material classification: There are different ways of classifying materials. One way is to describe five groups or families 1 ACS College of Engineering, Bangalore Assistant professor/Aeronautical Metals and alloys; Ceramics, glasses, and glass-ceramics; Polymers (plastics); Semiconductors Composite materials Metals and Alloys: Metals and alloys include steels, aluminum, magnesium, zinc, cast iron, titanium, copper, and nickel. An alloy is a metal that contains additions of one or more metals or non-metals. In general, metals have good electrical and thermal conductivity. Metals and alloys have relatively high strength, high stiffness, ductility or formability, and shock resistance. They are particularly useful for structural or load-bearing applications. Although pure metals are occasionally used, alloys provide improvement in a particular desirable property or permit better combinations of properties. Ceramics: Ceramics can be defined as inorganic crystalline materials. Beach sand and rocks are examples of naturally occurring ceramics. Advanced ceramics are materials made by refining naturally occurring ceramics and other special processes. Advanced ceramics are used in substrates that house computer chips, sensors and capacitors, wireless communications, inductors, and electrical insulation. Some ceramics are used as barrier coatings to protect metallic substrates in turbine engines. Ceramics are also used in such consumer products as paints, and tires, and for industrial applications such as the tiles for the space shuttle. Traditional ceramics are used to make bricks, tableware, toilets, bathroom sinks, refractories (heat-resistant material), and abrasives. In general, due to the presence of porosity (small holes), ceramics do not conduct heat well; they must be heated to very high temperatures before melting.

  • Titanium, Aluminum Or Steel?
    Titanium, Aluminum or Steel? Thomas G Stoebe Professor Emeritus, University of Washington, Seattle, WA and National Resource Center for Materials Technology Education Edmonds Community College 20000 68 Ave West Lynnwood, WA 98036 425-890-4652; [email protected] Copyright Edmonds Community College 2008 Abstract: Testing of metals is usually undertaken with sophisticated instruments. However, you can demonstrate to your students the basic differences between certain classes of metals using the simple spark test, presented here. You can even have your students test their “titanium” sports equipment to see if it really titanium! In many cases, they will find that the name “titanium” is used for marketing but little will be found in the product. In the process, students see the visible result of the carbon content in steel, and the lack of carbon in other materials, plus realize the reactivity of titanium metal. Module Objective: This simple demonstration provides an introduction to materials and materials testing. Even though this technique is limited to certain metals, it helps the student understand that different materials are different, and that materials that look alike are not necessarily the same. It also provides an opportunity to describe ferrous and non-ferrous materials and their basic differences, and one effect of heating on these different materials. Titanium is sufficiently reactive in air that it gives off sparks even with no carbon present. Since so many products today indicate that they are made of titanium, this test also provides a simple means to test for titanium in a product. This demonstration can also be expanded into a lab experiment to identify unknown materials.

  • Methods for Identifying Metals & Recommendation for Welding
    TECHNICAL UPDATE TE Andersen Consulting. Methods for Identifying Metals & Recommendation for Welding By Leif Andersen, TE Andersen Consulting. In order to decide on welding method and welding consumable when doing maintenance welding onboard it is absolutely necessary to first identify what base material you are facing. In this article we give practical advice in how you by simple methods can identify what metal you are up against and then continue to inform you how to go about welding it. Documentation A ship contains more or less all types of metals from the simplest cast iron to the sophisticated titanium and nickel alloys. Most vessels will have documentation giving information towards what the individual items onboard are made from. For some parts the documentation even informs towards welding procedures including recommending type of consumable. Therefore, always start checking out the available documentation onboard before anything else. If no documentation available you move to Methods of Identifying Metals. Practical Testing There are a number of test and observations that can help you pinpoint the type of metal you are facing. Start with the Appearance test followed by the Magnet test. From there you can continue with the Spark test, Oxy-cut test, Flame/Torch test, Chip test, Hacksaw/File test and Chemical test if necessary. 1 TECHNICAL UPDATE TE Andersen Consulting. Step by step approach APPEARANCE TEST: The Appearance test is a number of observations that include Colour, Surface appearance, the metals Practical application and Relative weight. Also look for an imprint on the item that might point toward type of base material.
