I. GENERAL

The City of Pittsburg (COP) is required by the California Department of Public Health to periodically inspect its potable water storage reservoirs.

Inspections are performed on a five- year cycle; an inspection is currently due. COP is soliciting proposals for the in service, underwater cleaning, inspection and maintenance/repairs of eight (8) storage reservoirs located throughout the City as described in Appendix A, “Tank Specifications”.

(Add alternate item) • Associated recording and/or photographing of inspections and repairs. • Cleaning of accumulated sediment and removal of debris inside the reservoirs, if needed. • Reporting the findings.

Inspection must be done by certified commercial divers trained in potable water operations or experienced ROV operators. Documentation of the project shall consist of a written report on the findings and copies of all photographs and/or video. The operations shall be conducted while the tanks are in service, without causing disruption to the treatment or distribution system. Down time or reservoir bypassing shall not be required, except for emergencies.

The purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to establish a contract for this work, to begin within thirty (30) days after award.

For welded steel tanks, interior coatings are also to be inspected for conditions including, but not limited to, peeling, blistering and other indications of loss of coating integrity. Any areas of pitting or rust, as well as any associated undercutting or migration, should be documented in the final report. A representative pit and blister survey shall be conducted. Interior pitting depth measurements, to 10 mils accuracy, shall be reported by location and character. A non-destructive thickness test shall be performed to establish the dry film thickness (DFT) of installed coating systems. DFT sampling shall be performed on various surfaces of the reservoirs, paying particular attention to obvious or suspected deficient or degraded areas. Representative readings (location and findings) from accessible areas of the interior and exterior coating shall be provided in the final report. Welded steel tanks shall also be inspected for chime corrosion and findings reported.
