Warranty Inspection The 1 year warranty inspection of the Air Light Tank can be performed one of two ways. TANK INDUSTRY CONSULTANTS, INC. can send one technician to perform the inspection with the "Contractor. The Contractor can then touch up any deficien- cies found during the inspection. We could also send two technicians to perform the inspection and prepare a report of the deficiencies for the Owner. The Owner could then con- tact the Contractor about repairs. The fee for TANK INDUSTRY CONSULTANTS, INC. to send one technician to perform the inspection with the Contractor would be $750. 00. The fee-for two men to perform the inspection and a written re- port is $1,400.00. It will be the Owner ' s responsibility to schedule the inspec- tion and coordinate the Inspector and the Contractor. We un- derstand that you intend to have the tank inspected from rafts. TANK INDUSTRY CONSULTANTS, INC. will supply the rafts. The tank level is to be controlled by City of Elgin person- nel. We also ask that you keep a person near the tank dur- ing the inspection for safety reasons. If by cause of the customer the tank is not prepared for in- spection on the agreed date, and all parties involved are not present, a charge for mileage and costs of labor, taxes and insurance will be added to the inspection fee. Southwest Regional Office: 7211 Regency Square Boulevard • Houston,Texas 77036 • Telephone: 713/789.0989 Mr. Ron Zegers Page 2 March 20, 1987 Work in Process Inspection We also propose to perform an intermittent inspection of the Contractor ' s work on the Congdon Avenue Tank. Since we do not know the scope of work, types of coatings presently on the tank and extent of repairs which will be required, it would be difficult to estimate the number of inspections re- quired. Normally on a 500,000 gallon elevated tank, 8-10 in- spections would be required. The inspections would be billed on a time and expenses basis from our enclosed rate sheet. If the inspections could be combined with work in the area, we estimate a cost of $500.00-$600.00 per inspec- tion. If the inspection could not be combined with other work, we estimate a cost of $600.00-$800.00 per inspection. Since the Contractor' s progress will dictate the timing of the inspections, we cannot guarantee the lower cost. We would perform the first inspection at the start of the . project to set the ground rules. We would set the standards for the proper degree of blast cleaning, surface profile, check -for proper materials, and set guidelines for weather requirements. During the following inspections we would mea- sure surface profile of blasted steel, evaluate steel clean- liness, measure coating thickness, check ventilation and coating cure, visually examine coated surfaces for deficien- cies, evaluate the Contractor ' s painting and blasting tech- niques and finally, during the last inspection, perform a wet sponge holding test of all submerged surfaces to verify film integrity. A written report with color photos would be - given to the Owner and Contractor after each inspection. We would also recommend the need for, and quantity of structur- al repairs. I have enclosed a Qualifications Booklet for your review. If you should have any questions, please don' t hesitate to call me. Sincerely, T(;; INDUSTRY CONSULTANTS, INC. 1.).4.---- \2c416 en P.
