The contractor shall also be required to spot prime and apply a full intermediate and top coat to the outside surfaces and all related steel appurtenances of the tank as directed by this specification. Preliminary testing indicates that the existing coating on the exterior of the tank contains lead.

The forebay tie beam lattice structure is located over flowing water in the forebay. The contractor shall supply means of access as required to paint all the surfaces. The City would be receptive to a floating platform to be lowered and tied off in the forebay as a means of access. Such a platform must not extend more than 18-inches above the water surface. The existing coating on the lower beams is known to contain lead. Alder Dam Spillway Gates Downstream Surfaces The Alder Dam spillway gates are radial arm gates that are 32-feet wide and 39-feet tall as measured along the skin of the gate. See reference drawings. These gates are located on the left side of Alder Dam (looking downstream). The upstream surface of the gates were painted in 1998 and will not be a part of the contract. There are four (4) gates. The normal operating range of the Alder reservoir is between Elevation 1170 and 1207 feet and the spillway sill is located at Elevation 1177 feet. The Alder Lake reservoir may fluctuate and may not be held down for the duration of this project. However, Tacoma Power will attempt to schedule this work to occur when the lake level is below the spillway sill elevation. The majority of the downstream surfaces of the gates and their structural members are currently coated with a Cosmoline based product. The contractor shall be required to fully remove the existing coating and repaint the downstream surfaces of the Gates, and all related steel appurtenances as directed by this specification. This shall include all exposed metal above, on and through the concrete block. Alder Dam Machinery Deck: Hand Railings and Equipment The Alder Dam gate hoist machinery is a series of pedestal mounted equipment, one (1) assembly for each of the four (4) gates. The pedestal frames are 7 foot wide by 19 feet long. The Contractor shall be required to spot prime and apply a full intermediate and top coat to the gate hoist machinery with its ancillary items and appurtenances along with the hand railings on the Alder Dam machinery deck as directed by this specification. This shall include all exposed metal above, on and through the concrete deck. The existing coating contains lead. LaGrande Spillway Gates Downstream Surfaces The LaGrande spillway gates are radial arm gates that are 31 feet wide and 24 feet tall measured along the skin of the gate. The existing coating does not contain lead, but was previously coated with Wasser MC-Zinc and MC-Tar in 1997. Section 01010 Page 2
