Information
The water storage tank at Booster Station 11 is a 1 -million gallon, ground -level, welded steel reservoir situated in the
middle of the Mount Prospect Golf Course (600 See Gwun Avenue). This tank, in conjunction with its adjacent booster
pumping station, helps satisfy peak water demand and fire flow requirements. The attached map depicts this location.
This tank is one (1) of seven (7) in the Village -owned water distribution system. In total, these tanks provide 8.8 million
gallons of water storage capacity. The Village's average daily demand for water is 3.5 million gallons.
Each of these tanks is routinely inspected by a qualified engineer to assess, structural condition, corrosion control, coating
adhesion, and safety compliance. Tank 11 was inspected in 2015 by engineers from Tank Industry Consultants (TIC) of
Indianapolis, Indiana. TIC is an engineering consulting firm that specializes in the maintenance and repair of steel storage
tanks. TIC's complete report is enclosed.
In summary, the TIC report finds that both interior and exterior coatings are in good overall condition and should not
require painting for another 5 to 7 years. However, repairs to the interior rafters of the tank are needed to maintain
structural integrity of the roof. The rafter repair work primarily involves replacing the welded steel purlins that provide
lateral support for the rafter system. After the repairs are made; touch-up coating of affected work areas is required.
On May 2, 2017 the Village Board awarded a contract for rehabilitation of the water storage tank at Booster Station 11 to
Jetco, Ltd., of Lake Zurich, Illinois in an amount not to exceed $201,715.
The complexity and the specialized nature of the work requires the use of a consultant to provide construction
engineering and observation services throughout the duration of the repairs. Staff asked three (3) area firms that
perform this type of work to submit proposals to assist the Village with full-time, on-site construction observation for
seven (7) weeks and general contract administration.
The three firms which staff requested were Burns & McDonnell Engineering of Downers Grove, Illinois (Burns), Dixon
Engineering of Hales Corner, Wisconsin (Dixon) and Tank Industry Consultants of Indianapolis, IN (TIC). All firms have
experience in construction observation, welded tank repairs and with the Village water system.

Each firm was asked to submit as part of their proposal the following information:
1. Summary of the firm's approach to the project
2. Task estimate and cost proposal for the construction administration of the project and for the on-site observation of
the work effort.
Tasks that were identified to be performed included:
Provide project layout
Provide inspection and supervision
Respond to Contractor Inquiries
Interpret the specifications as they relate to the work
Attend meetings
Review and recommend approval on pay estimates and
Prepare punch lists
The consulting firms' proposals were reviewed on the basis of their understanding of our goals and their project
methodology. They were rated (with a maximum score of 100 points) according to these specific categories: background
of firm, capacity to perform work and understanding of project.
Table 1 below summarizes this analysis:

$37,094.75
The lowest overall cost proposal was submitted by Dixon Engineering of Hales Corner, WI. The overall difference between
the highest and lowest cost proposal was $3,905.25 or 9.5%.
Dixon Engineering is similar to Tank Industry Consultants in that they only perform tank and reservoir repair, tank
painting and tank construction work. However, it is the opinion of staff that TIC has a better understanding of the project
stemming from their involvement in tank evaluation.

Furthermore, the firm has extensive local experience with this type of work including designing and monitoring the
replacement of steel water storage tank roofs at Booster Station 17 in 2016 and Booster Station 16 in 2010. Both of
these projects were completed successfully and under budget.
Most notably, TIC's project team includes John Lieb who is a renowned steel storage tank expert with over 43 years of
experience in the design, construction, repair, and maintenance of steel storage tanks. Mr. Lieb's experience also includes
over 24 years as a tank engineer for Chicago Bridge & Iron, the firm that originally constructed Tank 11. As such, Mr.
Lieb has a distinctive and comprehensive understanding of the tank design and structural elements. For reference, the
project team's curricula vitae are attached.
It is the conclusion of staff that TIC's proposal provides substantive qualitative value at relatively minimal additional
financial cost ($3,905.25).
Staff is recommending that a contingency of $5,000 be added to the award for any additional time or to offset any other
unanticipated fees or costs incurred. If the funds are not used; they will not be spent. Also, if the work is completed
sooner than the estimated seven (7) weeks then those on-site observation funds would not be spent.
Alternatives
1. Accept proposal from Tank Industry Consultants for Reservoir 11 Construction Engineering and Observation.
2. Action at discretion of Village Board.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends the Village Board accept the proposal submitted by Tank Industry Consultants of Indianapolis, IN for
Reservoir 11 construction engineering and observation in an amount not to exceed $46,000.

RE: Professional Services associated with the Rehabilitation of the
1,000,000 Gallon Station 11 Standpipe
TIC Project #H373.007
Dear Matt:
As you requested, I am pleased to present the following proposal for construction phase
services associated with the rehabilitation of the Station 11 Standpipe.
Resident Project Representation: The resident observation of the contractor's
workmanship is the most important part of this project. The best -written, most thorough
specifications do not assure the project is completed correctly. TIC's technicians are
experienced in tank repair, painting, and erection. They are not only familiar with proper
coating application techniques, but also with the underlying reasons for tank painting
standards. In addition, our entire staff of civil, structural, chemical, and mechanical
engineers and support personnel, including our MACE Certified Field Services Manager,
Field Supervisors, and Contract Administrator are available for supplemental technical
support for any special problems that might occur.
Daily Progress Reports: TIC's technician will furnish Mount Prospect and the contractor
with a written report for each day's evaluation. The reports will address, at a minimum, the
following items:
• Temperature of steel
• Weather conditions
o Temperature
o Wind velocity and direction
o Relative humidity
o Dew point
• Location and quality of work performed and compliance with the project
documents
• Paint batch numbers
• Surface profile
• Wet and dry film thickness readings
• Calibration record of dry mil thickness gauge
• Measure of the paint cure
• Number of men and equipment on the job
• Recommendations made
• Estimated completion date
• Other pertinent data as required or requested
The following equipment (at a minimum) will be utilized by TIC to monitor the work:
Mr. Matt Overeem Page 2
Village of Mount Prospect, Illinois — Construction Phase Services Station 11 Tank February 2, 2017
• SSPC-Vis 1 Visual blasting standards
• NACE Visual Standard TM -01-70 (available)
• AWWA Standards D100-11 and D102-11
• Testex Press -O -Film Profile Measurement System
• Surface Contamination Detection Device [soluble salts] (if required)
• Wet Film Thickness Gauge (observe applicator's use)
• Dry Film Thickness Gauge
• Certified Thickness Calibration Standards
• Steel Temperature Gauges
• Sling Psychrometer and Psychometric Tables
• Wet Sponge Holiday Detector [low voltage] (if required by TIC personnel)
• Adhesive Force Measurement Device (if required)
• Tooke Gage (if required)
Atmospheric Conditions and Contaminants: Coatings are very sensitive to atmospheric conditions. Humidity, dew
point, air, and steel temperatures must all be within acceptable ranges during application and curing for coating systems
to achieve maximum life. Evidence of the application of the coating under adverse atmospheric conditions may be a
premature failure two or three years later. In some environments, there is also the problem of contaminants being
deposited on the steel and between coats of paint. Even small traces of contaminants beneath a coating system have
been found to cause premature coating failure.
Coating System Integrity: Numerous other situations may occur that can significantly reduce the life of the coating
system. Causes for premature coating failure such as contaminants in the abrasive or on the steel, rust film forming on
steel before priming, and improper surface profile cannot be found by an inexperienced technician. All of these
situations require an experienced technician to identify not only the problems, but to make constructive suggestions to
correct them. Our technicians will also observe a low -voltage holiday detection test on interior surfaces, including the
roof.
Environmental Impact: TIC is very concerned about the environmental impact of the tank rehabilitation project we are
involved in, and is dedicated to complying with environmental regulations. If required, we will have TCLP tests be
performed on the contractor on the blasting debris to determine if it is hazardous and requires special handling and
disposal. Soil samples will be taken from carefully plotted locations on and around the tank site prior to the start of the
cleaning and painting project. This testing will provide background samples that can be tested and compared with
samples taken from the same locations at the project's conclusion. This before and after sampling and testing will help
to gauge the impact the project had on the environment and neighboring property, and will help protect the Village
from claims for pollution which existed before the project started. If requested, TIC will have a qualified laboratory
perform the laboratory analysis. The actual cost of laboratory analysis will be determined by the number of samples
that will be required.
Contract Administration: Once a tank rehabilitation project begins, TIC will be available to consult with and advise the
Village concerning any portion of the tank rehabilitation and repainting project. Included with this proposal as Exhibit A
is a listing of Contract Administration services typically performed by TIC. Some of the contract administration could
include:
• Consultation on adequacy and compliance with the project specifications
• Specification interpretation
• Attend the pre -construction and subsequent meetings—supplying typed meeting notes
• Review all contractors' submittals and shop drawings
• Review construction schedule
Mr. Matt Overeem Page 3
Village of Mount Prospect, Illinois — Construction Phase Services Station 11 Tank February 2, 2017
• Review and approval of materials
• Prepare and assist in the negotiations of change orders and supplemental agreements
• Review and approval of payment requests
• Dispute settlement
• Public relations
The fees for the construction phase services will be billed on a time and expenses basis from the rate structure in effect
at the time the services are performed. The current rate structure is attached for your review. The contractors'
construction methodology and work force allotment will be the overall determining factor for inspection hours and
costs for this project. Based on our experience with similar projects we estimate the following:
Resident Project Representation*:
6 - 7 weeks @ approximately $5,000/week $30,000 - $35,000
Contract Administration: $4,000
Subcontract Laboratory Analysis: $2,000
*A minimal amount of time may be charged for the field technician's preparation of documentation in addition to on-
site time.
To proceed with this project, please sign the two copies of the enclosed Standard Agreement and forward one original
to us. After receipt of this agreement, TIC will contact you to schedule the field work portion of this project.
We look forward to working with you on this project. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me.
Yours truly,
Tank Industry Consultants

SUBJECT:
7740 West New York Street
The subject of this report is the field evaluation of the 1,000,000 gallon steel
Indianapolis, Indiana 46214
ground storage tank in Mow -it Prospect, Illinois. The tank was owned by the
317 / 271-31.00 - Phone
Village of Mount Prospect and was known as the "Station I I Tank." The field
317 / 271-3300 - FAX
evaluation was performed on July 8, 2015 by James A. Peyer, Kyle M.
Spaulding, and Anthony R. Turpin of Tank Industry Consultants. The Owner's
representative on the site at the time of the field evaluation was Dan Murphy.
The sphericon, knuckle roof tank was of welded steel construction. According
infon-nation on the tank nameplate, the tank was built in 1.968 by Chicago
Plainfield, Illinois
Bridge and Iron Company under contract number 68-3225. The tank
Bridge
915 / 556-8335
nameplate also stated that the tank diameter was 98 ft, and the high water level

The purpose of this washout and evaluation was to determine the condition of
Houston, Texas
281 367-3511
the tank interior, exterior, exposed. foundation, and accessories. The purpose
of this report is to present the findings of the evaluation and to make
recommendations for recoating, repairing, corrosion protection, and
maintenance. Budget estimates for the work, anticipated life of the coating
and the structure, and the replacement cost of the tank are also included.
AUTHORIZATION:
This washout, evaluation, disinfection, and report were authorized in P.O. No.
2015-00000428 dated April 30, 2015.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The coating on the interior and exterior of this tank were in good overall
condition and should not require repainting within the next 5 to 7 years. The
tank should be re-evaluated in 3 to 5 years as recommended by AWWA.
Structural calculations should be performed to determine if the purlins in the
interior roof support structure are required, and if so, how many are Deeded.
The deteriorated purlins should be removed and replaced. Until such time as
the purlins can be removed or replaced, personnel should not access the
tank interior due to the potential for the purlins to fall.

ANSUOSHA and Safety -Related Deficiencies: There were OSHA and safety-related deficiencies on
this tank. These deficiencies included:
♦ the purlins on the interior roof support structure were deteriorated and in danger of falling, and
♦ the roof safety railings were not equipped with toe bars (29 CFR 1910.23(e)(4)).
If the Owner wishes to fully comply with OSHA and safety-related standards, it is recommended that
these deficiencies be rectified.
The deficiencies listed above are not intended to be a complete list of deficiencies on this tank. The
Owner should refer to the complete report text and accompanying photographs for a complete account
of all observed deficiencies.
This evaluation and the reporting of the condition of this tank do not warrant the original structural
condition of the tank or any of the original design for seismic loadings. Likewise, recommendations
for this tank do not include modifications which may be required for compliance with present structural
codes.
PHOTOGRAPHS:
Color photographs were taken of the visible portions of the foundation, the tank interior and exterior
and are included as a part of this report. The significant photographs are keyed to the observations.
NOMENCLATURE:
The terms used in describing the various components of water tanks are unique to the industry. In fact,
the terms vary from firm to firm and from person to person. In an attempt to define the terms used in
this report, a sketch of the general type of tank covered is included at the end of the narrative portion of
this report. Each horizontal row of steel plates on the tank is referred to as a "shell ring" or "ring." To
aid in referencing the shell rings, the bottom ring is referred to as shell ring 1 and the top ring is shell
ring 2. Warning: Some appurtenances on this tank may be referred to as erection or rigging
attachments, lugs, or brackets. This does not mean that they are safe for rigging. Each
attachment for each tank should be evaluated on an individual basis by a structural engineer or
an experienced rigger before being used. These devices may have been intended for only the
original erectors and painters to use with specialized equipment.
ADHESION TESTS:
All adhesion tests performed during this evaluation were done in general accordance with ASTM
D3359. The results are reported herein using the ASTM scale. The ASTM scale is a relative scale to
rate adhesion from 0 to 5 with 5 being the best. A table of adhesion test results classification is
included with this report following the sketch of the tank.
1, 000, 000 Gallon Ground ,Storage Tank, ",Station 11 Tank" Page 3
Village of Mount Prospect, Illinois 15.119.H373.007
HEAVY METALS TESTS:
Samples of the exterior and interior coating systems were sent to a laboratory for inductively coupled
plasma -atomic emission spectrometry analyses. The test results were as follows:
Cadmium
mg/kg percent
Chromium
mg/kg percent
Lead
mg/kg percent
Exterior <25 <0.0025%
<250 <0.025%
806 0.0806%
Interior <25 <0.0025%
<250 <0.025%
<250 <0.025%
Tank Industry Consultants performs this test only to determine if there is lead, cadmium, or chromium
present in the coating samples. To limit damage to the existing coating, only small areas were tested.
The small number of samples taken and the difficulty of retrieving all primer from the steel profile may
cause the tests performed to not accurately represent the total coating system. Variations in thickness,
types of coatings applied, and the interim cleaning and painting operations will also affect the actual
readings. The reliability of the results is also dependent on the amount of primer included in the
sample. Additional testing to determine the amount of leachable contaminants present in the spent
cleaning debris will need to be performed following cleaning operations at the time of repainting.
Results from the laboratory analysis are included following the adhesion tables.

1. Site Location: The tank was located on the grounds of the Mount Prospect Golf Course at
600 South See Gwun Avenue in Mount Prospect, Illinois. There no residences within the vicinity of
the tank. Access to the site was via an 8 ft wide asphalt drive. (See photos 1-7)
2. Site Conditions: The tank site was covered with grass and was graded to provide adequate
drainage away from the foundation. On the east side of the tank, the perimeter was asphalt, and on the
west side of the tank the perimeter of the tank was grass. The site was not fenced. There was a pump
house on the site, and several poles were adjacent to the site. A cathodic protection control cabinet for
the tank was located in the pump house, and it housed the system's rectifier. Piping extended from
tank into pump house. The pipe was supported by concrete blocks. Trailers, landscaping equipment,
stone/rock barriers, brush piles, and gravel mounds were located within 3 ft of the tank on the north
and east sides. A cellular antenna tower was located north of the tank on the site on the opposite site of
a building. (See photos 1-8, 13, 22-23, 25-26, 29)
3. Foundation: The tank foundation appeared to be a concrete ringwall with a beveled edge.
Except for minor cracking and some spalled areas, the exposed surface of the foundation appeared to
be in nearly its original structural condition at the time of this field evaluation. The foundation did not
consistently exhibit the AWWA recommended 6 in. to 12 in. projection above grade. White coating
was visible on the exposed concrete surfaces at the time of this field evaluation. The ground was
eroded on the west side of the tank directly at the foundation. (See photos 1, 8, 13-21, 24-26)
4. Fiberboard and Sealant: There was a sealant located around the bottom plate -to -
foundation interface. The sealant had randomly disbonded from both the foundation and the baseplate.

Fiberboard was observed between the bottom plate and the concrete foundation. Vegetation had grown
at voids in the fiberboard and sealant. (See photos 16-20)
5. Valve Vault: There was a valve vault located approximately 1 ft south of the tank. The
valve vault was part of the pump house basement. The exterior access into the valve vault was locked
prior to or after this field evaluation. There was a 16 in. diameter outlet pipe and a 10 in. diameter inlet
pipe were located in the vault. The coating on the riser pipes at the penetration to the tank floor had
peeled, and corrosion was noted. (See photos 8-11)

1. Exterior Coating Condition: The beige coating on the exterior of the tank appeared to be
in good condition and was providing adequate protection from corrosion to most of the steel. The
exterior coating exhibited very good adhesion to the underlying steel. The coating appeared to be a
polyurethane coating system. The Owner reported that the tank had been repainted in 2011.
2. Bottom Plate: The tank bottom plate extension appeared to be in nearly its original
condition at the time of the field evaluation. Light debris and minor coating failures were observed on
the bottom plate projection. Previous metal loss was observed on the bottom plate edge. The bottom
plate overhung the beveled edge of the foundation in areas. Grass clippings were observed on the
bottom plate projection. (See photos 13-21, 23-25, 29)
3. Shell Condition: The contour of the tank shell was good with significant discontinuities
observed at the time of this field evaluation. The coating appeared to be in good overall condition as
no significant coating failure and corrosion were observed. The coating exhibited very good adhesion
to the steel. Small stone nicks and grass clippings were observed on the shell. Two tank nameplates
were located on the southeast side of shell ring Al above the shell manhole. There was a 2 in. diameter
cathodic protection coupling on shell ring 41. Two boxes and associated conduit and brackets were
attached to the shell. (See photos 1-3, 8, 13-21, 23-27, 29-38)
4. Shell Manholes: The tank was equipped with two flanged and bolted circular manholes.
One of the manholes was located on the southeast side of the tank, and the other manhole was located
on the northwest side of the tank. The shell plate around each of the manholes was equipped with a
reinforcing plate. There were open weep holes in the reinforcing plates. The manhole covers were
equipped with davit arms. The bolts on the manhole covers appeared to be stainless steel. (See photos
1,30-33)
5. Overflow Pipe: The overflow pipe exited through the top shell ring and extended down
the shell and discharged above a drainage catch basin. The discharge end was equipped with an
elastomeric check valve. The pipe was equipped with welded steel brackets that appeared to be in their
original structural condition at the time of this field evaluation. No significant coating failure was
observed on the overflow pipe. The concrete block overflow catch basin was spalled and in poor
condition. (See photos 25-28)

6. Exterior Ladder: The exterior ladder was welded to brackets on the shell. The brackets
appeared to be in good overall structural condition. The ladder side rails at the shell -to -knuckle were
bolted, and one of the bolts was loose. The ladder was equipped with an aluminum hinged vandal
deterrent that was locked. (See photos 30, 35-38, 40-42)
7. Roof Safety Railing: There was a safety-related deficiency noted: the roof safety
railings were not equipped with toe bars. The roof was equipped with a safety railing at the roof
access adjacent to the roof manholes. The safety railing was constructed from welded angle and flat
bar members. The safety railing opening at the roof access was equipped with a closure chain. The
closing mechanism in the closure chain had deteriorated. (See photos 1, 3, 30, 40-43, 46-49)
S. Roof Condition: The contour of the roof was adequate at the time of this evaluation. The
coating on the roof had very good adhesion to the steel. There were no significant areas of coating
failure observed at the time of this field evaluation. Three or four minor rust spots and a few small
areas of peeled coating were observed. (See photos 39-56)
9. Roof Manholes: The roof was equipped with three manholes. All of the manholes were
equipped with hinged and locked covers. Previous metal loss was observed on the interior of the neck
of one of the manholes. The roof manhole at the roof access was welded on the exterior only, but the
other two manholes appeared to be welded on the interior and exterior. An interior rafter partially
obstructed one of the manhole openings. (See photos 40-42, 44-49)
10. Roof Vent: The roof was equipped with a clog -resistant vent. The vent was equipped
with pallets that would facilitate ventilation during filling or draining of the tank. The proper operation
or design of the pallets was not verified during this evaluation. The vent pallets and screen appeared to
be in good condition at the time of this evaluation. (See photos 54, 56-59)

1. Interior Coating Condition: The white coating on the interior surfaces of the tank
appeared to be in good condition and was providing adequate protection from corrosion to most of the
underlying steel. Coating adhesion tests were only performed on the roof to avoid destructive testing
of the coating below the water level.
2. Roof Condition: The coating on the roof plates appeared to be in good to fair overall
condition. Rust staining was noted along the tops of the roof rafters, along the roof plate lap seams,
along the rafter edges. The interior roof support structure consisted of radial roof rafters, a center
column spokes, two sets of purlins, and a knuckle perimeter angle. The inner ends of the roof rafters
rested on a center hub that was located at the top of the center column. The outer ends of the rafters
were equipped with clips at the knuckle perimeter angle. The clips appeared to be approximately 4 in x
3 in., flat bar. Previous pitting was observed on the rafter clips. Some of the purlins were larger than
the others, approximately 2-1/2 in. x 2-1/2 in., and some of the purlins were oriented diagonally. Some
of the purlins were in poor condition and in danger of falling. The center hub was equipped with eight
radial spokes and 2 ft square top plates under an approximately 3 ft diameter ring. The knuckle
perimeter angle was intermittently welded to the knuckle. Thick caulking was observed on some of the
rafters, and it appeared that the caulking was trapping moisture against the steel. Corrosion was
observed on the tops of the roof support members, and corrosion and previous metal loss were
observed on the roof surfaces. It is the opinion of Tank Industry Consultants that personnel
should not access the tank until the roof purlins have been secured. (See photos 60-82, 85-90)
3. Shell Condition: The coating on the shell interior appeared to be in very good overall
condition. There was no significant coating failure or corrosion observed on the interior shell surface
at the time of this field evaluation. (See photos 62, 65-66, 85-86, 91-95, 97, 99, 10 1)
4. Overflow Pipe: The overflow pipe was equipped with a fiunnel-type inlet. The location of
the overflow inlet was such that the top capacity level was above the bottoms of the roof rafters;
however, it did not appear that the tank was operated at full capacity and the typical water level was
approximately 6 in. below the bottoms of the rafters. (See photos 82-84)
5. Baffle Wall: The tank was equipped with an interior baffle wall adjacent to the shell
manhole. The wall extended approximately 30 ft out from shell, and then angled and extended an
additional 15 ft. The baffle wall was approximately 5 ft tall and equipped with vertical and diagonal

3. Shell Condition: The coating on the shell interior appeared to be in very good overall
condition. There was no significant coating failure or corrosion observed on the interior shell surface
at the time of this field evaluation. (See photos 62, 65-66, 85-86, 91-95, 97, 99, 10 1)
4. Overflow Pipe: The overflow pipe was equipped with a fiunnel-type inlet. The location of
the overflow inlet was such that the top capacity level was above the bottoms of the roof rafters;
however, it did not appear that the tank was operated at full capacity and the typical water level was
approximately 6 in. below the bottoms of the rafters. (See photos 82-84)
5. Baffle Wall: The tank was equipped with an interior baffle wall adjacent to the shell
manhole. The wall extended approximately 30 ft out from shell, and then angled and extended an
additional 15 ft. The baffle wall was approximately 5 ft tall and equipped with vertical and diagonal
1, 000, 000 Gallon Ground ,Storage Tank, "Station 11 Tank" Page 12
Village of Mount Prospect, Illinois 15.119.H373.007
braces. There was a 20 in. wide sliding gate access adjacent to the shell wall. The coating on the
baffle wall and braces was in good overall condition. (See photos 91-96)
6. Bottom Plate Condition: The coating on the tank bottom appeared to be in good overall
condition. Previous pitting up to 0.08 in. deep was observed. (See photos 85-87, 89, 91-98, 100-107)
7. Interior Piping: The inlet/outlet pipe was located in the tank floor. The inlet/outlet pipe
projected approximately 5-1/2 in. above the bottom plates. The inlet/outlet pipe was not equipped with
a protective cover. The tank was equipped with dished drain sumps at each of the shell manholes,
approximately 3 ft from the shell. The sumps were 32 in. in diameter and the center depth was
approximately 8-1/2 in. The tank was equipped with a recirculating pipe. The recirculating pipe was
approximately 39 ft from the tank shell, projected approximately 47 in. above the bottom plate, and
was equipped with an elbow. The tank was also equipped with a pressure sensor pipe that projected
approximately 5 in. above the bottom plate. The inlet/outlet pipe, the recirculating pipe, and the
pressure sensor pipe were all equipped with a reinforcing pad. (See photos 94, 103-107)
8. Cathodic Protection: The tank was equipped with a cathodic protection system. The
system consisted of a wire anode and floats. The cathodic protection anode system anchored from the
lower portions of the shell. The wiring appeared to be intact. It appeared as though the cathodic
protection system was operating properly as no significant corrosion was observed at the areas of
coating failure below the high water line. The reference anode was located near the center of the tank
adjacent to the center column base. The cathodic protection equipment cabinet was located in the
pump house which housed an automatically controlled potential rectifier. (See photos 12, 85-86, 91-
94,97-104)
RECOMMENDATIONS:
A. Foundation and Site
I. Site Maintenance: The site should be regraded so that the top of the foundation projects a
minimum of 6 in. to a maximum of 12 in. above grade and so that proper drainage away from the
foundation occurs. Site maintenance should be performed with the mower discharge directed away
from the base of the tank to prevent rock chips in the coating and the accumulation of grass on the
bottom plate. Vegetation on the bottom plate and on or near the shell should be removed and should
not be allowed to encroach on the foundation or steel in the future. The equipment and debris around
the tank should be removed to prevent it from coming in contact with the tank or foundation and
causing damage.
2. Site Access and Restoration: Provisions should be included in the specifications for the
restoration of any paving, curbing, sidewalks, fences, sod, or other surfaces and structures disturbed by
the contractor's work.
3. Tank and Site Security: Water tanks have been defined by some courts under certain
circumstances as attractive nuisances. As such, there may be a significant potential liability to the
Owner for injury to persons on the tank and tank site, even if access is not authorized. Recent events
have prompted the entire water industry to consider measures that inhibit intentional acts that could
threaten the water supply. A review of the security requirements for the tank and site is recommended
1, 000, 000 Gallon Ground ,Storage Tank, "Station 11 Tank" Page 13
Village of Mount Prospect, Illinois 15.119.H373.007
to confirm that the existing measures are consistent with the Owner's security requirements for their
water system. Primary tank and site security should be focused on eliminating, preventing, and
detecting unauthorized access to the tank. Such security measures might include routinely and
periodically verifying all manholes and the ladder vandal deterrent are locked. Other security measures
might include installing no -trespass signs, cutting the vegetation away from the tank to improve
visibility, or installing a fence, installing barbed wire, upgrading the existing site lighting, adding
motion detectors on the site, installing surveillance cameras, installing alarms on tank manholes, and
arranging more frequent site visits by law enforcement agencies.
4. Foundation: If the foundation should deteriorate prior to performing other tank
rehabilitation operations, any unsound concrete should be chipped to sound material and the concrete
should be brush-off blasted. Any deteriorated areas or voids found should have a bonding agent and a
vinyl emollient modified concrete patching mortar applied to build up the surface to its original
contour. The concrete should then be painted with a concrete sealer.
5. Sealant Maintenance: When the exterior repainting is performed, the existing sealant and
any vegetation located between the bottom plate and the foundation should be removed and replaced
with a flexible polyurethane sealant.
6. Valve Vault: The piping and valves located in the valve vault should be cleaned and
painted in accordance with the interior coating recommendations at the time of the tank cleaning and
coating. The exterior concrete surfaces should be cleaned to the equivalent of a brush-off blast
cleaning and painted with a concrete sealer. The valve vault access should continue to be locked at all
times in order to limit liability to the Owner and to protect water system security. Freeze protection
should be provided for on all control piping and static water lines.
B. Exterior Surfaces
1. Life of the Exterior Coating: The exterior coating system appeared to be providing good
protection to the majority of the steel surfaces. Tank Industry Consultants believes that the exterior of
the tank should not need to be painted within the next 5 to 7 years from a corrosion standpoint.
However the exterior should be reevaluated in 3 to 5 years, in accordance with AWWA
recommendations, to determine a more precise recoating schedule. The exterior coating system should
be evaluated immediately prior to preparing specifications to determine if the coating adhesion is still
adequate to accept a topcoat.
2. Coating Testing: Prior to preparation of specifications for the cleaning and coating of the
exterior of the tank, samples of the exterior coating system should be subjected to laboratory analysis to
test for ingredients which may at that time be subject to regulations concerning their handling and
disposal.
3. Cleaning: When the exterior is to be cleaned, all varieties of containment should be
investigated. Containment of the wind-blown debris will be required, and containment of paint
droplets will be required due to the proximity of the adjacent golf course and buildings.
4. Recommended Coating System:
1, 000, 000 Gallon Ground ,Storage Tank, "Station 11 Tank" Page 14
Village of Mount Prospect, Illinois 15.119.H373.007
a. Spot Clean and Topcoat: If the exterior is to be repainted within the next few
years, then spot cleaning and topcoating the tank appears to be the recommended option. The
typical life of a spot cleaned and topcoated system is approximately 7 to 8 years, but is highly
dependent on previous surface preparation and the condition of the underlying coating system.
b. Coating Application: The entire exterior surfaces of the tank should be high-
pressure washed to remove chalked coating, mildew, and contaminants. After washing, the
damaged and rusted areas should be spot cleaned to the equivalent of an SSPC-SP 6, Commercial
Blast Cleaning, or SSPC-SP 11, Power Tool Cleaning to Bare Metal. All areas of excessive
coating thickness and runs in the coating should be cleaned to the equivalent of an SSPC-SP 7,
Brush -Off Blast Cleaning, to remove the excessive mils. The spot cleaned areas should receive a
spot prime coat compatible with the present coating system. The entire exterior surfaces should
then be topcoated with a compatible coating system.
5. Alternative Coating System:
a. Complete Cleaning and Repainting: The optimum long -life coating system
presently available for this site is an epoxy -polyurethane coating system. Properly formulated
and applied polyurethanes have good resistance to condensation, mildew, and chipping. The
polyurethanes also have excellent color and gloss retention and the longest expected service life
of any of the common exterior tank coatings. The typical life of a properly applied [zinc -]epoxy -
polyurethane coating system is approximately 15 to 20 years. These coatings are also presently
manufactured to meet current VOC requirements.
b. Coating Application: The entire tank exterior should be cleaned to the equivalent
of an SSPC-SP 6, Commercial Blast Cleaning and have an epoxy -primed, epoxy intermediate
and polyurethane finish coating system applied. However, care must be taken during the
application of this particular coating system because this coating does have poor dry -fall
characteristics, and potential damage to the surrounding property must be taken into
consideration. The polyurethane coatings also require close monitoring of temperature and
humidity during application.
6. Effective Service Life: Tank Industry Consultants defines the life of a coating as the
amount of time before repainting becomes necessary due to coating failure and corrosion. During the
coating life the Owner should expect the coating to lose its gloss, start to chalk, show signs of
weathering, and possibly some rust staining. Future touch-up may be required on isolated coating
failures. If aesthetics are a concern, the Owner may have to topcoat the repainted tank prior to the end
of the expected service life. However, future topcoating would be less expensive than complete
cleaning and recoating and could delay the next complete cleaning and repainting for many years.
7. Other Systems: With air emission volatile organic compounds (VOC) restrictions being
put in place around the nation, alternative coating systems may become available which would be
viable options for this tank. The Owner should review the available systems prior to preparing
specifications for the recoating project.
S. Coating Curing: It would be more economical to paint the tank exterior at the same time
the interior is painted, since the tank must be drained while the exterior is painted, and the applied
coatings cure. This will also reduce mobilization and observation costs.
1, 000, 000 Gallon Ground ,Storage Tank, "Station 11 Tank" Page 15
Village of Mount Prospect, Illinois 15.119.H373.007
9. Rehabilitation Schedule: To obtain the lowest possible prices for the work outlined in the
recommendations, the Owner should have the specifications prepared and the work bid in the spring,
with the work scheduled to start in early summer (if possible).
10. Grinding and Bracket Removal: Any unused brackets or erection hugs should be
removed prior to the exterior repainting. Any weld burrs, weld spatter, or erection scars should be
ground off to provide a smooth surface for the application of the coating.
11. Nameplates: The tank nameplates should be removed for the cleaning and coating of the
tank. The nameplates should be cleaned and reattached to the tank using the existing brackets.
12. Electrical Apparatus: All unused electrical conduit, antennas, fixtures, electrical
metering equipment, cathodic protection apparatus, and control cabinets should be removed from the
tank and tank site. All required equipment should be repaired and maintained in accordance with the
National Electric Code (NEC).
13. Shell Manholes: The weep holes in the shell manhole reinforcing plates should be tapped
and plugged.
14. Overflow Pipe: The overflow pipe catch basin should be repaired or replaced.
15. Exterior Ladder: The bolted connection between the shell ladder and roof knuckle ladder
should be removed and the ladder side rails welded together.
16. Roof Safety Railing: The existing safety railings should be equipped with toe bars. The
deteriorated closing mechanism on the closure chain should be replaced.
17. Clog -Resistant Vent: The proper operation of the vacuum and pressure relief pallets
should be routinely verified.
C. Interior Surfaces
1. Life of the Interior Coating: The interior coating system appeared to be in generally
good condition and providing adequate corrosion protection. Tank Industry Consultants recommends
that the interior surfaces of this tank should not need to be recoated in 5 to 7 years. However, the
interior recoating schedule will be dictated by the coating failure observed above the top capacity level.
It is recommended that when the interior is completely cleaned and repainted, an epoxy coating system
should be used.
2. Coating Testing: Prior to preparation of specifications for the cleaning and coating of the
interior of the tank, samples of the interior coating system should be subjected to laboratory analysis to
test for ingredients which may at that time be subject to regulations concerning their handling and
disposal.
3. Recommended Interior Coating System:
a. Epoxy Coating System: The optimum long -life coating system presently available
for the interior of water tanks is a two -component epoxy coating system. A three -coat epoxy
1, 000, 000 Gallon Ground ,Storage Tank, "Station 11 Tank" Page 16
Village of Mount Prospect, Illinois 15.119.H373.007
system is recommended for the interior of this tank. This coating system should meet the
certification criteria of ANSVNSF 61 and state department of health regulations.
b. Coating Application: When the interior is to be repainted, the entire tank interior
should be cleaned to the equivalent of an SSPC-SP 10, Near -White Blast Cleaning and an epoxy
coating system applied.
C. Service Life: The typical life of a properly formulated and applied epoxy coating
system is approximately 12 to 15 years in immersion service. Tank Industry Consultants defines
the life of a coating as the expected service life before repainting becomes necessary due to
coating failure and corrosion. The Owner could extend the service life of the coating by
installing, properly maintaining and operating a cathodic protection system to help protect the
steel surfaces in areas which have experienced coating failure.
4. Roof Support Structure: The deteriorated purlins should be removed from the roof and
replaced. At the time of the interior cleaning and painting, the tops of the roof rafters should be
carefully cleaned and coated.
5. Cathodic Protection: Cathodic protection, if used and maintained properly, will control
active corrosion below the water level and extend the useful life of a coating system. It should be
noted that maintenance as recommended by the cathodic protection manufacturer is required for the
cathodic protection system to work properly. Without proper monitoring, the cathodic protection
system may operate too high and cause the coating to blister, or the system may operate too low and
not adequately protect the exposed steel surfaces.
6. Pit Welding and Pit Filling: After initial cleaning, all significant pitting which is found
should be welded, and all pitting with rough edges that would make the pitting difficult to coat properly
should be filled with a solventless epoxy seam sealer.
7. Seam Sealing: The existing roof manhole and existing roof vent intersections should be
sealed with an epoxy seam sealer at the time of the interior recoating.
S. Flexible Sealant: The perimeter ring -to -roof interface and the unwelded lapped roof
seams should be sealed with a flexible sealant at the time of the interior recoating.
9. Rough Edges: All unused brackets should be removed from the interior and exterior
surfaces at the time of the next recoating. Any weld burrs, spatter, scars or rough edges in the steel
should be ground smooth to provide a better surface for coating.
10. Overflow Inlet: The overflow inlet should be lowered so that the high water line is below
the bottom of the rafter ends.

Tank Industry Consultants has no control over the cost of labor, materials, or equipment, or over the
contractors' methods of determining prices, or over competitive bidding, or the market conditions.
Opinions of probable cost, as provided for herein, are to be made on the basis of our experience and
qualifications and represent our best judgment as design professionals familiar with the design,

maintenance, and construction of concrete and steel plate structures. However, Tank Industry
Consultants cannot and does not guarantee that proposals, bids, or the construction cost will not vary
from opinions of probable cost prepared for the Owner.
Due to the numerous potential scopes of work which exist, the Owner should obtain an updated budget
estimate once the final scope of work has been determined. This would enable the Owner to accurately
budget monies for additional mobilization costs and damaged coating rehabilitation costs.
Engineering and resident observation costs are not included in the Total of the Engineer's
Recommendations because these fees are dependent upon the scope of work to be performed. Tank
Industry Consultants performs all facets of the engineering services which would be required for this
project. Estimated fees for engineering and resident observation will be furnished upon request.
CLOSURE:
Brief Summation: The Village of Mount Prospect, Illinois owns and operates a 1,000,000 gallon
ground storage tank that was in good overall condition at the time of this evaluation with the exception
of deteriorated purlins in the interior roof support structure. Proper maintenance after completing the
recommendations herein would include periodic washouts and evaluations approximately every 3 to 5
years in accordance with AWWA recommendations, and the proper maintenance of the existing ice -
resistant cathodic protection system with long -life anodes.
Contractor Selection: The work should be performed by a competent bonded contractor, chosen from
competitive bids taken on complete and concise specifications. The coatings used should be furnished
by an experienced water tank coating manufacturer, supplying the field service required for application
of technical coatings.
Standards for Repairs and Coatings: All work done and coatings applied should be applied in
accordance with NACE, ANSI/NSF Standard 61, the manufacturer's recommendation, AWWA D100
and AWWA D102 (latest revisions), and the SSPC: The Society for Protective Coatings.
Observation of Work: Observation of the work in progress by experienced personnel will offer
additional assurance of quality protective coating application. Observations can be performed on a
continuous basis or spot (critical phase) basis. The actual cost of observation may be less using spot as
opposed to full-time resident observation; however, with spot observation it is often necessary for work
to be redone to comply with the specifications. This somewhat lowers the quality of the finished
product, lengthens the job, and is frequently a cause of conflict between the contractor, Owner, and
field technician. Resident full-time observation minimizes the amount of "rework" required.
Anniversary and Maintenance Evaluations: An anniversary evaluation should be conducted prior to
the end of the one year bonded guarantee. Washouts and coating, structural, sanitary, safety, and
corrosion evaluations should be conducted not less than every three years.
Time Frame: If the work is not performed within the next 6 months, the structure should be
reevaluated prior to the preparation of specifications and solicitation of bids.

Village of Mount Prospect, 15.119,H373.007
Specifications and Bidding Documents: The recommendations in this report are not intended to be
specifications on which a contractor can bid. Complete bidding documents must include general and
special conditions, detailed technical specifications, and other information necessary for the
competitive bidding process. To properly protect the interests of the Owner, Contractor, and Engineer;
the initial evaluation, the technical specifications, legal portions of the contract documents, and the
observation should be perl-brmed by the same firm or with close coordination of all parties involved.
Limitations of Evaluation: It is believed that the conditions reported herein reflect the condition of
the tank as observed on the date of the evaluation, using reasonable care in making the observations,
and safety in gaining access to the tank. Should latent defects be discovered during the cleaning of the
structure, they should be brought to the attention of the Owner and the Engineer.
Seismic and Wind Loadings: This tank is located in or near a region of low seismic activity. This
evaluation and the reporting of the condition of this tank do not warrant the structural condition of the
tank or any of the original design for seismic loadings. Likewise, recommendations for this tank do not
include modifications which may be required for compliance with present structural codes. It is
possible the tank was erected in compliance with pre-existing industry standards which have since been
replaced by more restrictive standards.
Hazardous Materials in Coatings: It should be taken into consideration that Federal, State, and local
environmental agencies have placed stricter controls on the removal of lead-based and other heavy-
metal based coatings from steel structures by the use of conventional abrasive blasting techniques. The
paint and blast residue may be considered to be hazardous waste depending on the concentration of
lead or other particles in residue.
