CS I Proposal 2334-Coating Inspection Services Three Tank Rehabilitation Project SERVICES City of Pleasanton Page 7 appearance (SSPC PA1), dry film thickness readings, holiday detection, cure testing, and so forth meet the project requirements. 4. At a minimum, the applicable verifications noted above will be recorded. The CSI inspector will use daily reports, and an in-process punch list to clearly document and flow-chart the coating operations and occurrences to verify compliance with Contract documents. Reports will include photographic documentation. Electronic inspection reports can be delivered daily throughout the project. 5. CSI may utilize our in-house App called SpecCheckTM that provides our inspector an automated means of assuring the electronic reporting, delivery, and archiving of our inspection reports. The App is unique to any other in that it not only provides a library of all project documents, but it also has an internal quality control mechanism that assures that field verifications are correct, in real time. It also gives management an excellent tool to better control all aspects of the inspection project. This system will work well with the use of EADOC. CSI routinely delivers its reports within 12-24 hours of the verifications. Sustainability Statement CSI Services takes great pride in its contribution to the coating industry, society, and the planet. CSI routinely provides technical training sessions and presentations to owners, non- profit organizations, apprentice students, and other interested groups. The focus on many of these efforts is to emphasize the importance to assure that coatings perform as designed. That is, properly installed coatings will last 25-35 years and not the 5-7 years that was often commonplace before quality systems were put into place. This ultimately results in less chemicals being introduced into our environment. It also reduces the waste associated with taking important infrastructure off line, during perhaps "premature" maintenance needs. With respect to our direct influence on the environment. CSI prepares over 50 coating specifications per year and we strive to utilize coating systems with the lowest volatile organic content (VOC), as well as those that do not contain chemicals that are highly recognized to harm the body (e.g. isocyanates). We also have a policy of using special procedures to preserve, or extend the life of coatings that contain hazardous materials (e.g. lead, cadmium, chromium, etc.). This delays the need of dealing with waste that negatively affect workers or the environment. Ultimately, these coatings will require removal and replacement, but by being able to defer these types of projects by understand the intricacies of maintenance planning approaches ultimately reduces the amount of problems to the planet. Three years ago, CSI met its goal of going "paperless." The only products generated with paper that may also requires parcel delivery are documents required by a few of our clients (i.e. we must follow their requirements). All of our data/photographic documentation is initially recorded in electronic hand-held devises (e.g. phones, pads), which is then uploaded to our cloud service before being reviewed and delivered to our clients electronically. This is discussed further in No.5 of our Scope listed above. April 27, 2019
