The following items were found to be either incomplete or in need of correction:
1. The power conduit, wires and connections for the motor operated valve are not installed. We were
unable to verify the proper operation of the valve nor its operation through the SCADA System.
2. Once the valve is powered, the specifications require a written test report on its start-up, training and
operating condition.
3. The Operation and Maintenance manual for the motor operated valve has not been submitted.
4. The grating around and over the new motor valve requires modification to fit the new valve
configuration
5. The concrete walls for the pipe and valve gallery in the tank have been removed for a distance of
roughly 2 feet on both sides of the gallery. In addition, a 2'x2' portion of the tank' s concrete floor
has been removed on both sides of the new valve. The gallery walls and tank floor must be returned
to original or better condition prior to final acceptance of this project.
6. Revised drawings on the SCADA modification have not been submitted and are required.
7. The portable latrine needs to be removed from the project site.
8. The contract documents require the contractor return the site ground cover using solid block sod.
9. The removed gate valve is to remain the property of the City and shall remain at the tank site.

As a reminder, the project specifications require a 12 month and 24 month inspection of the tank along with
any necessary repairs. Once the punch list items are complete to the City's satisfaction, we will prepare the
final pay request and forward the Affidavit of Final Payment and Waiver of Release for your signature. We
look forward to the final and timely completion of this project. If you have any questions or need
clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely yours,
