Please find the attached proposal for your review and consideration. I have considered the
various repair options based on the scenarios that should be revealed after the tank is taken
out of service and inspected. Our inspection will conclusively determine the condition of
the floor and give us direction as to the best repair method. Please understand that these
hypothetical scenarios are based on experience from previous tanks. The cost of repairs
and length of time to complete the project may vary due to utilizing a combination of the
four repair options to meet specific requirements of the City.
In conclusion, the cost of using the Carboline Polybrid coating system is the most
expensive coating due to its fast cure time of 1 - 2 hours. The city may want to look at
using this coating regardless of what repair option is implemented due to the fast cure time.
When considering what the down time of the tank will be, please allow 1 day for the
inspection and the listed working days to complete the repairs plus the cure time for the
coating.
Please contact me if you have any comments or require further information.
