The flows entering the plant are under moderate to high pressures and produce large amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S). HzS is highly corrosive to concrete as well as metals. During a routine maintenance investigation, plant staff observed that several areas of the flow channels and chambers that make up the headworks are displaying significant degradation of the concrete structure, particularly around the sluice gates. Staff's concerns are that the failure of one or more of the sluice gates or the structure itself could lead to leaks, operational issues, or catastrophic failure of an entire portion of the structure. On February 16, 2017, plant maintenance, and Utilities engineering staff met with representatives of Paints and Coatings, Inc. at the Everest headworks site to inspect and formulate a repair plan for the damaged concrete structure. On March 6, 2017, Paints and Coatings submitted a quote to the City for$ 153, to make the repairs. Recommendation The Utilities department recommends the use of Paints and Coatings as a sole source vendor due to their familiarity with the site, proven ability to accomplish and warranty this type of work, and that they are the sole provider and applicator of IET systems coating for wastewater applications for the state of Florida.

2 IET is the only coating specified for wastewater use by the City of Cape Coral Design Procedures Manual Section 7.5.5, "The coating system shall be manufactured by IET Systems, OFT= min. 60 mils (125 mils for repair lining)." and the City of Cape Coral Technical Specification Section 09800, Part 2.2.C., Article 3.11.A. Section 09800, Part 2.2.C., Article 3.11.A. Item Surface Prep. System No. All interior surfaces of sewer wetwells, master manholes, and manholes where forcemains discharge IET System "Duplex Prep Method" and applications shall be as specified by I ET Systems (2) Wetwell Liner Coating System as manufactured by IET Systems, OFT= min. 60 mils (125 mils for repair lining) Water Reclamation has been utilizing Paints and Coatings, Inc. for this type of application for over 30 years, and they have been very responsive to any warranty claims, which have been infrequent. Paints and Coatings, Inc. has stringent requirements for the application of IET resin, and when they are adhered to, there is virtually no degradation from exposure to corrosive gasses. IET has applications of this coating system in various high corrosive gas environments in the City that are over 20 years old. Because of Paints and Coatings, Inc. diligence and consistent performance preserving the IET coating reputation for quality and integrity, IET awarded Paints and Coatings, Inc. of North Fort Myers, the exclusive contract as the sole applicator for the state of Florida for many. years. In 2015, Paints and Coatings, Inc. became the sole license and manufacturer for IET Systems Coatings. As recently as 2013 and 2014, the City Council approved IET and Paints and Coatings for sole source contracts for wastewater applications. IET is commonly used throughout the City in sanitary system manholes and lift station wet wells. No other alternate coating product for corrosive environments have been approved under City specifications or standards. Both Water Reclamation and Utilities Collection and Distribution have trial tested other coatings, but to date have not found a product that equals or exceeds IET's resistance to corrosive environments in wastewater applications. Project Funding This construction project amount of $153, has been budgeted in FY17 and will come out of JOE Account Business Unit/Object Number (WRE-7 Headworks and Structural Repairs) which has an unencumbered balance of $200, Once signed or if you have any questions, please feel free to contact Jim Diviesta at x3693.
