Statement of Need for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) of Fire Suppression Tank Background: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Environmental Satellite Data, and Information Services (NESDIS) Fairbanks Command and Data Acquisition Station (FCDAS) has a fire suppression tank which is over fifty years old and requires a Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) to determine if repairs are needed. Scope: The Contractor shall provide NDT, Core Samplings, Graphs, and photos of the fire suppression tank. An initial inspection of the tank shall be performed to determine any visual cracking or spalls. During the visual inspection sounding of the concrete is conducted in accordance with ASTM D4580 to locate areas with concrete delamination. While the fire suppression system is out of commission, the Contractor will supply a sufficient amount of water on site in case of a fire. NOAA FCDAS personnel will be on-site until NDT has been completed. In addition, the following tasks shall be performed on the tank: (1) Provide GPR Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) verifying reinforcing spacing, reinforcing cover and wall and floor thickness. (2) Provide Impact Echo {IE) Pulse Velocity (PV) covering compressional and shear wave measurements to access concrete strength, delamination survey and wall thickness/ determine limits of cracking (3)Provide Corrosion Potential (Half Cell) Survey. Provide an indication of corrosion activity in the wall sections tested. (4) Conduct Core sampling and Testing. All drilled areas will be patched with a non-shrink high strength grout to be approved by NOAA Technical Point of Contact: The NOAA FCDAS Technical Point of Contact for this contract is: To be provided at time of award. Safety requirements: The Contractor shall provide for the safety and health of their employees and all personal protective equipment in order to perform the required work under the resultant contract.
