Dear Lonnie:
This regards a change order request for the painting of
the standpipe located at the water treatment plant.
After inspection of the paint job, the interior walls
were accepted.on October 12th. The exterior was inspected
on October 18th and accepted. The interior floor only. has

Therefore, we ask the City Council for a change order
to accept 10 to 14 mils of coating on the floor of the stand-
pipe, for these reasons:
1) Onsetting cold weather.
2) Need for filter backwashing not done since September 16th.
3) To prevent permanent clogging of the filters which could
blow the media when they are finally backwashed.
4) An additional coating (if weather warms up enough to permit)
on the floor would require an additional 10-days minimum
cure time. It is expected the filters would be too clogged
to get clean by this time.
5) Two alternate coatings bid on this contract allowed 12
mils as the finished thickness, so this 10--14 mil reading
is considered adequate protection.
