The project locations shall be the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Departments South District Wastewater Treatment Plant, Central District Wastewater Treatment Plant, North District Wastewater Treatment Plant, Alexander Orr Jr. Water Treatment Plant, John E. Preston Water Treatment Plant and Hialeah Water Treatment Plant. Typical work settings include rehabilitation work in sewage plant structures, water plant structures, tanks, trains, clarifiers, contact basins, digesters, headworks, grit chambers, containment units, and other water and wastewater processing systems utilizing protective coatings. There will usually be very limited access into the tanks, whether they are above ground or below and, as a result, the work will take place in areas defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as an enclosed space. The dimensions of the tanks will vary depending on functions and locations, but typically horizontal dimensions exceed 80' and depths exceed 20'. The work will involve preparation of surfaces by sandblasting, grit blasting or high pressure water blasting as required for each particular project and may also involve chemical disinfection. Structural concrete repairs by troweling, gunite, or other specified method of epoxy or cementitious compounds are generally required, as applicable. A protective coating is then applied by either rolling or spraying. The protective coating will normally be a two-part, 100% solids, no-solvents, epoxy. After completion of the work, the successful vendor shall thoroughly clean the inside of the tank and any surrounding affected areas of all grit, debris, and material residue, and properly dispose of such.

Approved submitters shall be required to provide 24 hours, 7 days a week Emergency Service to WASD under any subsequently awarded spot market competitions. Emergency Service shall be defined as a non-warranty related repair service requirement and its response time shall not exceed twenty-four (24) hours after notification by WASD.
