Questions: Electrical: SECTION 26 00 00 - ELECTRICAL AND INSTRUMENTATION: There is only one light per tank in the pictures. Are we only removing and installing one light per
tank.
Also, am I understanding that we are only to install conduit on the Martin Luther King Tank?
* Plans for MARTIN LUTHER KING WATER TOWER PAINTING FOR THIBODAUX WATER PLANT
SHEET 1: I see that on the drawing of both tanks. It states Water Tower Overflow Piping Details: ON MARTIN LUTHER KING IT SHOWS THE INSTALLATION OF AN OVERFLOW
PIPE. HOWEVER TH PICTURE OF THE TANK SHOWING PARTIAL ELEVATE - LOOKING WEST SHOWS AND INLET PIPE. COULD YOU EXPLAIN WHAT TANKS HAVE
OVERFLOW AND INLET PIPES .

Message: Questions: Electrical: SECTION 26 00 00 - ELECTRICAL AND INSTRUMENTATION: There is only one light per tank in the pictures. Are we only removing and installing one
light per tank. - there are two (2) lights one each tank - you may need to zoom in on the lights to see them - both lights are mounted on the same stand
Also, am I understanding that we are only to install conduit on the Martin Luther King Tank? CLX cable will be installed on Martin Luther King tank only, no conduit required

Question: You are stating the Martin Luther King and North Canal have inlet pipes (existing) So we are not installing inlet pipes? Just install overflow pipe on MLK?
Just confirming that the drawing is referring to the MLK Tank and not the North Canal Tank. Are we just connecting the overflow pipe from the roof top or do we connect
inside the tank and fabricating to the top and coming down on the outside of the tank?

You are stating the Martin Luther King and North Canal have inlet pipes (existing) So we are not installing inlet pipes? Correct, not installing inlet pipes.
Just install overflow pipe on MLK? Correct
Just confirming that the drawing is referring to the MLK Tank and not the North Canal Tank. Correct
Are we just connecting the overflow pipe from the roof top or do we connect inside the tank and fabricating to the top and coming down on the outside of the tank? Perform all work
required to install a new overflow system, including penetration of water tower tank shell plate, fabrication and installation of all piping and supports as detailed on drawing titled Water
Tower Overflow Piping Details. Per the drawing, piping comes through the catwalk and is supported to one of the Water Tower Legs. Water drains into an existing Yard Drain.

Question From My Electrician: For the MLK Tower the existing power cable is to be replaced. The new power cable is to be CLX type (12/3 MC-HC cable) which is to be installed as is, in
other words, without protective conduit. Is this correct?
|
|
Yes, CLX is metal clad cable.
|
|
Yes, CLX is metal clad cable that does not require conduit to be protected.

Will there be a 3rd party inspector for this project? If so, who will it be? If a final decision has not been made, who is being considered?
|
|
Do the existing coatings contain lead on either the interior or the exterior of either of the two tanks?
|
|
The powerlines are within 10’ of the containment. Will they be deenergized or relocated? If not, we will be direct violation of OSHA regulations – which can result in heavy fines for both the
owner and the contractor. - https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1926/1926.1408

the referenced standard applies to cranes and other equipment that rotates, extends, etc. that could move in such a way as to come in contact with a power line. My understanding is that
the painting companies are using lifts that only go up and down, so as long as they set up the correct distance away from the power line to meet the standard, we will be in compliance.
Additionally, the power company will install insulating covers over the power lines, so they will no longer be uninsulated and will not pose an electrical shock risk.

On MLK water tower description In the bid documents, the MC cable for the ladder is to be terminated on ground level at the “light panel”. Please advise on the location of said light panel,
and it’s distance from the base of the ladder. Also, whether this MC cable is to be buried underground in route to this light panel.
Will demo be needed for the existing MC cable from the panel to the top of the water tower?

On MLK water tower description In the bid documents, the MC cable for the ladder is to be terminated on ground level at the light panel - Cable called out in the plans is CLX, not MC.
Please advise on the location of said light panel - Light panel is approximately 50' from the tower ladder - the light panel was pointed out in the bid walk
and it’s distance from the base of the ladder. Base of the ladder is approximately 3' from the conduit
Also, whether this MC cable is to be buried underground in route to this light panel. - CLX cable will not be buried. New cable will be installed in the existing buried conduit going from the
bottom of the tower slab to the light panel
Will demo be needed for the existing MC cable from the panel to the top of the water tower? - Yes, existing cable and conduit from the existing lights will be demolished
