CITY OF REDL By: Eddie Tejeda, May ATTEST: e Donaldson, City Clerk Co CLEAN INFUSION LLC Warrick Wadman, Owner L•\cmo\Agreements\Clean Infusion LLC Agreement (wWTP Secondary Clarifier Project) FY24-0067.docx-ms EXHIBIT "A" SCOPE OF SERVICES For the purposes of this Exhibit "A", Clean Infusion, LLC is referred to as the "Contractor." Wastewater Treatment Plant's Secondary Clarifier Rehabilitation Project (Project): Secondary Clarifier No. 1 is currently out of service, cleaned, and drained, with all mechanical components still in place. The Project includes rehabilitating and repairing specific mechanical systems and components within the existing 80-ft diameter, partially submerged concrete secondary clarifier at the city's WWTP. The existing clarifier is an Eimco/Ovivo Clarifier Type C2D; Serial No. 22021-03-A. The Contractor will be responsible for furnishing all materials, labor, equipment, and tools for the entire Project. The Project will consist of replacing the clarifier drive unit with a new Ovivo C30HT drive with a 3/4 hp gear motor. This drive must include the drive torque control unit and the motor drive package. Other mechanical components that will be replaced or rehabilitated with in -kind components per the manufacturer's recommendations include the skimmer, skimmer arm, skimmer support, scum skimming device, mastic sealer, sludge collection drum with adjustable gate control boxes, eight (8) 6-inch PVC type II draw -off pipes (four (4) per arm) with elbows, collection arm, adjustable squeegee, skimming device counterbalance. Note: The city intends to reuse the existing anchors as part of this Project. This reuse and the replacement/rehabilitation of the in -kind components will eliminate the need for seismic calculations. Drive and Clarifier Components: The drive unit must be coated with a high-performance protective coating to resist abrasion and withstand wet conditions, corrosive fumes, chemical contact, and weathering. The coating should meet or exceed industry standards (i.e., NACE No. 3/SSPC-SP6) for surface preparation and use an epoxy or polyurethane -based coating with a minimum dry film thickness of 8-10 mils or as specified by the manufacturer for maximum durability. The drive must have torque overload protection control with a visual indicator and sounding alarm. The drive must rotate counterclockwise at 0.30 RPM to match the existing drive speed, rated up to 30,000 ft-lb torque, with real-time torque value display. Electrical work for the Project is minimal, as the existing control panel will be reused. The Contractor is responsible for ensuring proper integration with the new equipment while utilizing the existing electrical infrastructure. The new drive assembly unit must be uniformly supported and as level as possible to prevent uneven loading on the main drive housing and bearing, essential to avoid distortion, which can lead to bearing failure and housing breakage. The Contractor will be responsible for the proper placement of the unit and for the lubrication of the drive unit according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Any damage occurring is the Contractor's responsibility for repair or replacement of the entire unit. Contractor must coordinate with the manufacturer to verify the proper installation of the clarifier drive and components. Drive lubrication must be performed following the manufacturer's instructions. The Contractor is responsible for the proper storage of the equipment before and during Project activities. One (1) visit from the manufacturer is required for the startup/checkout of the drive assembly and components to ensure proper operation and to provide training for city personnel. 7 I:\cmo\Agreements\Clean Infusion LLC Agreement (WWTP Secondary Clarifier Project) FY24-0067.docx-ms The Contractor is to make all necessary adjustments or corrections to the work required by the manufacturer representative/inspector. If the manufacturer is required to re -visit the Project site due to adjustments/corrections, Contractor shall be responsible for those additional costs. When sandblasting, the drive must be fully covered or sealed off to protect against sand and dust. Failure to follow the manufacturer's installation, storage, and operational guidelines will void the warranty, and any resulting issues will be at Contractor's expense. The city will provide and be responsible for proper roll -off bins for the disposal and removal of all old equipment. All new clarifier components (listed in the description section of the Fee/Cost Proposal) must be installed with the correct elevations and proper alignment of equipment per the design of the clarifier. Once the Project is complete, the Contractor is required to operate the clarifier for a minimum of 8 hours, observe the rotation and clearance of the arms, and check for contact with the tank bottom. The Contractor is to conduct a thorough inspection of the clarifier and recommend any additional repairs or parts not listed in the scope of services. If additional work is necessary, the Contractor must submit a recommendation to the city. If feasible, the city will provide further direction. No work outside the scope of services is to be performed without city approval. Onsite Blasting & Painting Services: The Contractor shall provide all necessary equipment, materials, and labor for the onsite blasting and painting of the secondary clarifier. This includes the clarifier walkway and all underwater steel. Surface Preparation: Surface preparation shall be in accordance with SSPC-SP10 (Near -White Metal Blast Cleaning) standards. All rust, mill scale, old paint, and contaminants shall be removed to achieve a clean, roughened surface. Compressed air used for blasting must be clean and dry, and the surface shall be free of oil, grease, and moisture before painting. Painting Requirements: A minimum of two coats of high-performance epoxy paint suitable for wastewater environments must be applied. The first coat shall be epoxy primer with a dry film thickness (DFT) of 4-6 mils. The second coat shall be epoxy topcoat, designed for chemical resistance, with a DFT of 5-8 mils. Paint type: Sherwin-Williams Macropoxy 646 or equivalent, approved by the City's Project Manager. Environmental Conditions: All surface preparation and painting must be done under proper environmental conditions, including minimum and maximum temperature and humidity levels, as per the manufacturer's recommendations. Professional Labor Services: Professional labor services include the removal of the existing bridge, drive, and other clarifier components to be replaced, and the installation of the new complete drive unit and clarifier components as listed in the clarifier drive and components description of the Fee/Cost Proposal. The Contractor is to supply all equipment necessary to complete the Project (i.e., crane, rigging equipment, and associated equipment). The Contractor is responsible for all documentation, safety protocols, and procedures related to confined space entry, ensuring compliance with N I:\cmo\Agreements\Clean Infusion LLC Agreement (WWTP Secondary Clarifier Project) FY24-0067.docx-ms applicable regulations and standards. The Project is to be completed in one (1) mobilization and one (1) demobilization of equipment and personnel.

All freight and delivery of equipment are to be included in the bid.
