SUBJECT: CONTRACT NO.598 — REQUEST FOR CHANGE ORDER NO.2
CC 2-11-0f Q1
After making a closer evaluation of the existing coating system and observing several sweep -blast tests
performed on the tank structure the Community Services Staff believes that performing a sweep blast and
coating over the existing coating system as required in the specifications may ngtnbe in the City's best interest.
Due to the configuration and height of the tank, the cost associated with recoating or repairing a failed coating
system would be very high. Under the given circumstances completely removing the existing coating will
eliminate the chance of failure between the coating systems and leave the City with a more reliable and longer
lasting coating system.
AA-1 Services, Inc., the primary contractor for the Elevated Tank Seismic Upgrade and Exterior Paint,
Contract No. 598, Inc. is very concerned with the new coating system failing because it has been applied over a
forty-six year old coating system that is brittle and has been fractured or damaged by the sweep -blast process.
The configuration of the scaffolding and shrink-wrap make it very difficult and in some places. almost
impossible to perform a consistent sweep -blast without partially removing and/or fracturing the existing coating
system. The concern is that the tension created when the new coating system cures will cause the existing
coating to lift or separate from the steel or undercoat in the areas that have been fractured or damaged. Due to
the great expense to access and coat a structure of this size AA-1 Services, Inc. believes it is in the City's best
interest to completely remove the existing coating at this time eliminating any chance of a failure between the
two coating systems.
Tnemec Company, Inc. is the coating manufacture providing the coating materials for this project.
After visiting the site and observing the existing coating Tnemec feels that there is a high risk of failure in .
performing an overcoat on the existing coating and do not recommend it on this elevated tank. Considering the
age and type. of coating on the tank, Tnemec recommends performing a commercial -blast and. completely
remove the existing coating system before applying the new coating.
Harper & Associates Engineering, Inc. was contracted by the City to write the contract specifications
and perform full time welding and coating inspection for this project. They feel that under normal circumstances
a sweep -blast would be adequate however with the confined work area of the scaffolding it will be very difficult
to perform a consistent sweep -blast without partially removing and/or fracturing the existing coating system.
Harper agrees that the areas, which have been damaged and not properly prepped, are prone to failure. They also
agree that applying a new coating system directly to properly prepared steel is superior to a coating system
applied over an existing coating.
After careful review and considering the high cost to recoat the elevated tank I believe that it is in the
City's best interest to approve Change Order No. 2 for an additional sum of $124,690 to perform a commercial -
blast and completely remove the existing coating system. In addition, the number days to complete the
contract should be increased from 140 calendar days as specified in the contract to 225 calendar days.
Please advise if you concur with the Department's recommendation to approve Change Order No. 2.
Thank you.

Reference: Contract #598 Elevated Tank Seismic Upgrade & Exterior Painting
Subject: Change in scope of Painting Specifications
Attention: Mr. Mike DaFIank
Gentlemen,
f3eeaLiSC dour (Treat concern regarding the present specification requiring a sweep blast surf ice
preparation to the existing coating, it is AA-1 Services determination to provide the City an, lternatc
scope and price for this project that will be more attractive to the City.
This alternate proposal is to blast the entire tank and s1ruoturc to SP-6 fully removing and ab iting the
exiting coating, and apply 2 coats of epoxy and a urethane finish.
TI1c benefits of this system when compared to the current scope are:
1) A longer life guectancy for the coating.
An epoxy/urethane syste(nn coated over SP-6 blasted steel has a life expectancy rated it 20 years
by coating; manufacturers, which is what the existing codling would Have been rated < s when
'first applied 30 plus years ago. So if applied properly it is undeniable the City WQL1ld le getting
a far superior product than any kind of overcoat system_
The weakest link in the ovcrcoaling systerrt currently specified, is the bond between t ie top
coat of the existing coating and the primer of the existing coating, which after 30 yea -s can it1
noway be considered preferable to any part ofan epoxy/urethane system over blaster I steel.
This is without even taking into account the uundeniable, damage done to the existing I:oating/
substrate by sweep -blasting, and the spot damage to the primer where the swcep-blas ing is
inevitably perlonxled too aggressively, and the weak bond between the new and exist ng
coating that the sweep -blast doesn't touch due to the speed we must move the nozzle to keep
fi-om tearing up the coating.
Simply put it's inconceivable for the coating specified currently could give you a life
expectancy close to this altorrlativc, and has exponentially higher chance of'tna'or 1ai Lire in the
short t crni.

2) Removal of Lead J, <<bility —
By removing the coating by SP-6 blasting we are relinquishing the eity's cradle to grv.ve
liability for lead.
3) Aesthetic Appeal -
After a sweep -blast the excessively prepared surfaces where the coating has been rcrr oved to
the primer or steel, the uneven and rough appearance will be readily visible, after the new
coating has been applied. With our proposed system the finish coating will be as smo )th and
shizuiy.
The additional cost to the contract to perform this system is $IZ4,690
Considering the cost to scaffold and contain.the tank ofmore than $300,000 this option may ultimately
be more cost effective_
Please consider this proposal and let us know what you think. We enjoy talking to you to dis.,-uss this
or other optioxns. Also, if our proposal is accepted we wi l I need until April 30 to complete thi - project.

As you are aware of the difficulty in the containment of the structural members and legs
on reference job. AA-1 assumes that the City and Harper Engineering approve of the
process that was established this last week and that we can continue until the job is
complete.
Because of the additional time it takes to piece meal the,wrapping of each leg and the
structural members the time for completion has to be extended. Per our discussion on the
job site, I would give you the date that we would be 100% complete including the two
weeks of scaffold removal, that date is July 4, 2007.
Please confirm the above date for completion.
Sincerely;

COMMUNITY SERVICES & WATER DEPARTMENT
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Eric Fresh, City Administrator
FROM: Samuel Kevin Wilson"; Director of Community Services and Water
DATE: June 25, 2007
SUBJECT: CONTRACT NO.598 — CHANGE ORDER NO. 4
AA-1 Services, Inc., the primary contractor for the Elevated Tank Seismic Upgrade and
Exterior Paint, Contract No. 598, has submitted a request to extend the completion date of the contract
to July 4, 2007. This extension will add an additional 57 calendar days to the contract.
Due to the configuration of the elevated tank's support structure and legs, the scaffolding
engineer for AA-1 Services, Inc. is unable to meet wind load calculations if the entire support structure
is encapsulated with shrink-wrap as originally planned when bidding the project. This means that each
leg and the support structure between them must be wrapped individually. Unfortunately, wrapping
each leg and the sections between the legs individually has proven to be a very slow and time-
consuming process.
City staff has reviewed the encapsulation process and feels that AA-1 Services, Inc. is working
diligently to complete the project in a timely manner and agrees that a time extension is justified. AA-1
Services, Inc. is not requesting additional funds for this Change Order however there will be additional
costs associated with the added time required for the coating inspection performed by Harper and
Associates Engineering, Inc. The City shall pay for required coating inspection up to forty hours per
week and any costs for additional coating inspection shall be paid by AA-1 Services, Inc. and deducted
from the total Contract costs.
