THE CITY OF 13 L�£�S��NTON CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT September 21, 2021 Operations Services TITLE: APPROVE AS-NEEDED SERVICE AGREEMENTS FOR UTILITIES — CATHODIC SYSTEM INSPECTION, DESIGN, AND REPAIR WITH ACCURATE CORROSION CONTROL INC., CORROSION INTEGRITY LLC, AND CORROSION PROTECTION SOLUTIONS FOR THE NOT-TO-EXCEED AMOUNT OF $300,000 FOR A THREE-YEAR TERM SUMMARY The City's Utilities Division is responsible for the operation and maintenance of 15 steel reservoirs throughout its service area. These steel reservoirs have cathodic protection systems that protects the interior surfaces of each tank. Though the tanks have an internal coating, these coatings do degrade over time and require inspection, maintenance, and repair. The City's steel tank cathodic systems are designed with an impressed current system where longer-lasting anode materials can be used in conjunction with an external power supply, or rectifier, which converts AC power to DC current. This system provides electrical current to the areas that are not being protected by the coatings and works to stop the corrosion cycle. The Utilities Division is requesting to enter into as-needed agreements with experienced licensed contractors to provide inspection, design, and repairs to the cathodic system of 15 steel reservoirs. Annually, contractors will be used for planned reservoir cathodic inspections per the Utilities Division schedule. If repairs are found to be needed during the inspections, repairs will be authorized by the Utilities Division. A Request for Bids for cathodic system inspection, design, and repair services was distributed on August 4, 2021. Three contractors were selected to provide as-needed cathodic system inspection, design, and repair services to ensure that the steel reservoir cathodic protection systems are routinely inspected and repaired to maintain proper operation. Staff recommends the City enter into a three-year agreement with an option to extend the agreement for two (2), one-year terms, not to exceed five years total with the following contractors: Corrosion Protection Solutions, Corrosion Integrity LLC, and Accurate Corrosion Control Inc. These as-needed services allow the City the flexibility to utilize the most competitively priced and responsive contractor as projects and emergencies arise. RECOMMENDATION Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute agreements with Corrosion Protection Solutions, Corrosion Integrity LLC, and Accurate Corrosion Control Inc. The compensation per agreement shall not-to-exceed $300,000 for the three-year term.
