DWRF UV Construction Contractor Application for Tax Exemption Certificate
October 2016 00670-2
Special Notice
Contractors who have completed this application in the past, please note the following changes in procedure:
The Department will no longer issue individual Certificates of exemption to subcontractors. Only prime contrac-
tors will receive a Contractor’s Exemption Certificate on exempt projects.
Upon receipt of the Certificate, the prime contractor should make a copy for each subcontractor involved in the
project and complete it by filling in the subcontractor’s name and address and signing it.
The original Certificate should always be retained by the prime contractor. Copies of all Certificates that the
prime contractor issued to subcontractors should be kept at the prime contractor’s place of business for a
minimum of three years and be available for inspection in the event of an audit.
Once an 89# has been assigned to you, please use the next five numbers following it for any applications
submitted for future projects. This should be your permanent number. For instance, if you were assigned 89-
12345-0001, every application submitted thereafter should contain 89-12345 on the application. The succeed-
ing numbers will be issued by the Department of Revenue. DO NOT enter what you believe to be the next in
sequence as this may delay processing of your application.

October 2016 01_75_19-5 10188A10
pw://Carollo/Documents/Client/CO/Fort Collins (Wastewater)/10188A10 DWRF UV Design/Specifications/01_75_19 (FS-100)
2) Continue observations through the duration of the Quantitative
Testing period.
3) Pay particular attention to conditions at joints, honeycombed areas,
cracks, and repaired portions of the structure.
b. Evaluation criteria:
1) The structure shall be considered to have failed these Qualitative
Testing requirements if any of the following conditions are observed.
a) Water droplets or moist areas on an outside surface that could
only have originated inside the structure.
b) Water is flowing or seeping from joints, cracks, or surfaces.
(1) Exception: Dampness or wetness on top of a footing, in the
absence of flowing water, shall not be considered as failure
to meet this criterion.
c) Moisture can be transferred to a dry hand from the outside
surfaces of the filled area.
c. Repairs and retesting:
1) Where damp spots or flowing water as described in the preceding
paragraphs are observed, mark locations, provide repairs, and retest
the structure as specified in subsequent paragraphs. Upon Owner's
and Engineer's approval, Contractor may provide repairs while
structure is still full of water, and confirm that no leakage is present.
2. HST-100 - Part 2: Quantitative Testing:
a. If approved by the Engineer, Quantitative Testing may begin before
repairs are made to areas failing Part 1 of this test; however:
1) Adjustments to volume loss calculations of Quantitative Testing
based on observed leakage will not be permitted.
2) All defects identified for repair during Qualitative Testing shall be
repaired to the satisfaction of the Engineer before approval of the
structure.
b. Report the results of Quantitative Testing on “Leakage Test Report”
included as Figure A at the end of this Section, or similar form prepared
by the Contractor and containing at least the information included in
Figure A.
c. Unlined concrete structures:
1) Fill to the designated water surface elevation. Maintain that level for
at least 72 hours before recording initial water levels for leakage test.
2) Duration of test:
a) Theoretical time required to lower the water surface in the
structure by 3/8 inch when leakage is occurring at the maximum
allowable rate specified in subsequent paragraphs of this
Section.
b) The duration (“D”) of the test in days is determined by the
following equation:
D = 0.375 inches
(0.005 in/in/day x H ft x 12 in/ft)
Where: H = maximum liquid depth
(1) Round results upward to the next full 24-hour period (day).
(2) Minimum duration of test: 24 hours (1 day).
(3) Maximum duration of test: 120 hours (5 days).

pw://Carollo/Documents/Client/CO/Fort Collins (Wastewater)/10188A10 DWRF UV Design/Specifications/01_75_19 (FS-100)
d. Lined concrete structures and secondary containment areas:
1) Fill to the designated water surface elevation. Recording of water
levels for leakage tests may begin as soon as the designated water
surface level is reached and the water surface is calm.
2) Duration of test: 72 hours (3 days).
e. Measurements: Water level:
1) Record water levels at 24-hour intervals for the full duration of the
test period.
2) Measure water levels at not less than 2 locations on opposite ends of
the structure, and preferably at 4 locations spaced equally around the
structure. Mark locations on the structure and take measurements at
the same locations throughout the duration of the test.
3) Measure, to an accuracy of 1/16 inch, the vertical distance to the
water surface from a fixed point on the structure above.
f. Measurements: Temperatures:
1) As part of the first and last sets of level measurements, record water
temperature at a depth of 18 inches below the water surface.
Measure temperature at the same locations where level
measurements are taken. This requirement may be eliminated if
approved by Owner and Engineer.
2) Record ambient temperature at the time of each water level
measurement.
g. Measurements: Evaporation and precipitation:
1) Measure evaporation and precipitation by floating pans inside the
structures during testing.
a) For uncovered structures, measure both evaporation and
precipitation.
b) For covered structures that are well ventilated, measure
evaporation.
2) Measure using specially constructed clear containers:
a) Provide clear plastic, calibrated, open-top containers not less
than 18 inches in diameter and 18-inches deep.
b) Partially fill containers with water and float inside the structure.
Make provisions to hold containers in place at each
measurement location, but away from structure walls and items
passing overhead, such as beams or pipes.
c) Measure initial depth of water in each device. Measure changes
in water level in each device at the same time measurements of
the water level inside the structure are taken.
h. Restart of test:
1) The Engineer may order a restart of the test when, in the Engineer’s
opinion, measurements have become unreliable due to unusual
precipitation or other factors.
2) If measurements or observed leakage during the testing period
indicate that the allowable leakage requirements will be exceeded,
the test may be terminated before completion of the full test period.
Take appropriate actions to correct problems before restarting the
test.

i. Calculations of leakage test results:
1) For each section of the structure tested, use water surface level
records to calculate average loss of volume per 24-hour interval.
a) For each 24-hour interval during the test, calculate the average
of all measured drops in water level around the structure.
b) Use the average drop thus determined to calculate an average
loss of volume for each 24-hour interval.
2) Adjustments to leakage calculations:
a) For uncovered basins, calculations shall be corrected for
precipitation added to the structure.
b) Calculations may be corrected for evaporation and water
temperature.
j. Evaluation criteria:
1) Unless otherwise specified, the average loss of volume during any
24-hour interval shall not exceed the limits shown in Table A.
Table A – Loss of Volume Criteria for Leakage Tests
Structure Type Maximum Loss of Water Volume
• Structure fully lined prior to leakage test.

PART 3 EXECUTION
3.01 EXAMINATION
A. Steam clean and degrease surfaces designated to receive concrete repair materials
prior to initial inspections and removal or repair of deteriorated concrete.
B. The Drawings indicate types and quantities of repairs. Exact locations and limits of
each will be determined during construction.
1. With Engineer and Owner, observe areas designated for modification and
repair. Identify and mark limits of work areas.
a. Floors: Confirm limits of spalled and de-bonded floor areas scheduled for
repair by dragging a steel chain across the surface.
b. Walls: Confirm extent of weak and loose material and voids at walls and
deteriorated joints by performing “soundings.”
2. Mark such areas and compare quantities of repair anticipated with the base
quantities shown on the Drawings before proceeding with construction.
3. If quantities exceed the base quantities, review overage with Engineer and
determine whether certain marked areas will be excluded, or whether base
quantities and Contract Price will be adjusted. Complete such marking and
discussion before proceeding with modification and repair work.

pw://Carollo/Documents/Client/CO/Fort Collins (Wastewater)/10188A10 DWRF UV Design/Specifications/03_01_05 (FS-100)
3.02 PREPARATION - GENERAL
A. See Section 01_35_21 for general requirements for selective demolition.
1. Take necessary precautions and provide protective devices required to protect
personnel, to support the main or appurtenant structures while concrete is
removed, and to prevent damage to surrounding areas and equipment.
2. Prevent debris from falling into adjacent tanks, channels, equipment, or
operating areas that remain in service.
B. Where concrete modification and repair requires concrete forming, concrete
reinforcement, or cast-in-place concrete, provide such items as specified under
Sections 03_11_07, 03_20_00, and 03_30_00 respectively.
3.03 CONCRETE REMOVAL
A. General:
1. Remove concrete to limits indicated on the Drawings or specified.
2. Concrete that is to be left in place, but is damaged by Contractor’s operations
shall be repaired to the satisfaction of the Engineer at no additional cost to the
Owner.
3. Repair areas affected by concrete removal to provide surfaces with strength
and finish consistent with that of the surrounding concrete.
B. Special techniques:
1. New openings through concrete:
a. Create openings by:
1) Saw cutting completely through concrete, or
2) Scoring edges of opening with saw to at least 1 inch depth on
exposed faces and removing concrete by chipping.
b. Do not allow saw cuts to extend beyond edges of the opening. Make
corners square and true by combination of core drilling and grinding or
chipping.
2. Removal of concrete equipment pads, piping supports, etc.
a. Remove bases for equipment and supports where so indicated on the
Drawings. Intent of modifications at such locations is to leave remaining
concrete surfaces such that little or no evidence of previous installation
remains.
1) Remove portion of pad projecting above surface of parent concrete in
floor, wall, etc. Cut existing reinforcement and anchor bolts extending
from parent concrete into pad in accordance with techniques for
cutting back embedments.
2) Observe surface of parent concrete. If minor grinding or surface
restoration will provide intended appearance, make such repairs in
accordance with this Section and to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
If minor grinding or surface restoration would leave surface rough,
discolored, or with irregular patches, excavate additional concrete as
described in the following paragraphs, and provide surface repair.
a) Saw-cut clean, straight lines at or slightly beyond limits of the
base. Cut shall be a minimum of 1 inch deep, but not more than
the depth of concrete cover over the reinforcement minus
1/2 inch. Do not cut existing reinforcement in walls or slabs
behind the base being removed.

pw://Carollo/Documents/Client/CO/Fort Collins (Wastewater)/10188A10 DWRF UV Design/Specifications/03_01_05 (FS-100)
b) Remove existing parent concrete within boundaries of scored
lines to a depth of at least 1/2 inch.
c) Provide surface repairs per procedure S/F-1 or S/W-1 of this
Section.
3. Concrete excavation for repair:
a. Excavate deteriorated surface concrete in areas indicated on the
Drawings and as marked in the field. Expose a clean, sound surface for
placement and bonding of repair materials.
b. Excavation and surface preparation shall conform to the
recommendations of the manufacturer of the repair materials and this
Section.
c. Make excavations that allow repairs to rebuild deteriorated concrete
surfaces to their original lines with repair products placed at thicknesses
not less than the minimums nor more than the maximums recommended
by the manufacturer of the materials.
d. Provide neat, uniform, undamaged edges surrounding areas of repair.
1) Cut boundaries of repairs to form simple, rectangular shapes without
reentrant corners.
2) Prepare boundaries of repair areas with edges cut at approximately
90 degrees to the exposed concrete surface to prevent “feather-
edged” conditions.
e. Carefully remove concrete, avoiding damage to reinforcement.
1) If more than half the diameter of reinforcing bars is exposed by
excavation of the surrounding concrete, or if exposed reinforcement
appears to be corroded, chip out the concrete around and behind
that reinforcement to provide a clear space of not less than 1 inch
around the perimeter of the bar for placement of concrete repair
materials.
3.04 CONCRETE SURFACE ROUGHNESS
A. Prepare surfaces as indicated on the Drawings and specified, and as recommended
by the manufacturer of concrete repair materials.
B. Prepare surfaces in compliance with ICRI Technical Guideline No. 310.2.
1. Roughness and relief of concrete surfaces prepared for repair is designated in
the Drawings and Specifications by a Concrete Surface Profile (CSP) number
as defined by ICRI.
2. Obtain ICRI surface preparation sample specimens and have specimens
available in the field for comparison to prepared concrete surfaces.
C. Prepare surfaces using hydrojetting techniques.
1. Provide equipment capable of developing at least 5000 psi, and not less than
3,500 psi jet pressure and with rotating tip ("turbo tip").
3.05 CONCRETE REPAIRS
A. Prepare surfaces not requiring concrete removal in accordance with the
recommendations of the manufacturer of the repair products.
B. Where moisture content of existing concrete or repair materials is critical to
subsequent repair procedures, test for moisture using methods acceptable to the
manufacturer of the repair materials and the Engineer.

C. Special techniques:
1. Treatment of existing reinforcement, anchor bolts, or other ferrous
embedments at removed concrete:
a. Where existing items are shown or specified to remain for incorporation
into new work, protect as indicated.
b. Where existing items are not to be retained for incorporation into new
work, cut off and protect as follows:

obstruction and drill another hole. Repeat the above until the hole has been
drilled to the required depth.
2. Avoid drilling an excessive number of holes in an area of a structural member,
which would excessively weaken the structural member and endanger the
stability of the structure. Drypack holes which hit obstructions and allow
drypack to reach strength equal to the existing concrete before drilling
adjacent holes. Epoxy grout may be substituted for drypack when acceptable
to Engineer.
3. When existing reinforcing steel is encountered during drilling and when
acceptable to Engineer, enlarge the hole by 1/8 inch, core through the existing
reinforcing steel at the larger diameter, and resume drilling at original hole
diameter.
4. Bent bar reinforcing bars: Where edge distances are critical, and striking
reinforcing steel is likely, and if acceptable to Engineer, drill hole at 10 degree
angle or less from axis of reinforcing bar or all thread rod being installed.
E. Install reinforcing bars and all thread rods to depth, spacings, and locations as
indicated on the Drawings.
1. Do not install adhesive-bonded all-thread rods or reinforcing bars in overhead
applications.
F. Cleaning holes:
1. Insert long air nozzle into hole and blow out loose dust. Use compressed air
that is free of oil, water, or other contaminants that will reduce bond.
2. Use a stiff bristle brush to vigorously brush hole to dislodge compacted drilling
dust.
3. Repeat step 1.
4. Repeat above steps as required to remove drilling dust or other material that
will reduce bond. The hole shall be clean and dry.
G. Cleaning reinforcing bars and all thread rods:
1. Clean reinforcing bars and all thread rods over embedment length to bare
metal, free of oil, grease, paint, dirt, mill scale, rust, or other coatings that will
reduce bond.
2. Solvent clean reinforcing bar and all thread rods over the embedment length in
accordance with SSPC SP-1 Solvent Cleaning. Provide an oil and grease free
surface to promote bonding of adhesive to steel.

7. Do not over-vibrate so as to produce segregation.
C. Placing and consolidating Class UW concrete:
1. General:
a. Surfaces below water should be cleaned by scrubbing with a stiff bristled
brush.
b. Concrete placed underwater shall be placed using the tremie method with
a high-slump, cohesive concrete mix resistant to washout of the cement
particles.
c. Flow of water in the area of the concrete placement must be ceased to
reduce the risk of washout of the plastic concrete.
d. Provide a 10-inch to 12-inch diameter tremie pipe adequately sized to
avoid blockages by the plastic concrete. Splices in the pipe must be
welded or flanged with watertight gaskets.
2. Placement:
a. The end of the tremie pipe is temporarily sealed with a watertight, steel
plug, inserted into the water, and dewatered.
b. The tremie pipe is filled with concrete carefully to avoid breaking the seal
until the concrete level in the tremie is well above the water surface
elevation.
c. Once filled with concrete, the tremie is lifted to break the seal and initiate
the flow of concrete. A mound of concrete around the mouth of the pipe is
quickly developed to seal the tremie pipe from filling with water.
d. Once the seal is formed, the tremie continues to inject fresh concrete into
the mass of concrete established around the tremie pipe.
e. Do not lift the tremie further or break the seal. Maintain 3 to 5 feet of
embedment of the tremie in the concrete mass. Ensure availability of fresh
concrete to maintain the placement without delays.
f. Continue to place concrete expediently and continuously with a placement
rate of 1 to 2 feet vertical feet per hour.
g. Load the tremie hopper uniformly. Do not surge load the tremie. The need
to surge the tremie to maintain flow is indicative of loss of workability of
the mix.
h. Do not allow the plastic concrete mass to set during placement. As the
concrete placement progresses, raise the tremie. Do not allow the tremie
to discharge fresh concrete into concrete that has begun initial set.
i. Do not move tremie pipe horizontally within the submerged mass of
concrete. Distribute concrete by horizontal flow of concrete, up to a
maximum of 10 feet. For placement beyond this horizontal distance,
withdraw the tremie pipe, relocate, reestablish the seal, and resume the
flow of concrete.
j. Laitance or other unsuitable material should be removed during concrete
placement with pumps or air-lifts as it accumulates.
k. Concrete shall be placed to such elevation that after any unsound
concrete has been removed from the surface, the finished elevations shall
be those which are shown on the drawings.

moisture from the surface of the concrete, immediately after the concrete has been
screeded, coat the surface of the concrete with a liquid evaporation retardant. Apply
the evaporation retardant again after each operation as necessary to prevent drying
shrinkage cracks. Conditions that result in rapid evaporation of moisture may
include one or more of the following:

11. If observations by the Geotechnical Engineer during drilling indicate that
subgrade material or bedrock characteristics vary or are not adequate to
provide the load capacities indicated in the geotechnical investigation report,
or the depth from the top of the drilled pier to the top of bedrock varies by more
than 15 percent from the depth indicated on the Drawings, immediately notify
the Engineer. Do not proceed with drilling or construction until Engineer has
determined what modifications, if any, are required to bring the design of the

1. Placement of concrete shall be as specified for dry or wet conditions as may
be applicable for the conditions found at the time of the work.
2. During concrete placement, take care to prevent concrete from hitting the
sides of the steel reinforcing bar cage which will cause segregation.
3. To prevent segregation, do not allow concrete to fall more than 5 feet without
the use of a tremie.
4. Provide for a supply of concrete that is adequate to complete placement on
any given drilled pier in one continuous uninterrupted operation without cold

minimize sloughing of the sides of the hole and segregation of the
concrete on the reinforcing steel.
8. Water seepage:
a. If seepage occurs at such a rate that the concrete cannot be properly
placed, even if the pier hole is cased, place concrete using the tremie
method:
1) Proceed with concrete placement that starts under water, using
underwater placement requirements until the hole is completely filled.
Do not dewater the shaft after partial concrete placement.
2) Use a tremie pipe having a disposable plug that keeps the tremie
free of fluid until the plug is blown out by the concrete pressure.
3) Use a tremie pipe not less than 8 inches in diameter.

d. Provide steel casing onsite in various appropriate lengths. Use casing
length so that at the end of drilling, the top of the casing projects above
the ground surface and any adjacent mound of drill cuttings.
7. Attach cutting teeth to the casing, if required to penetrate to the planned depth.
8. Use casing length so that at the end of drilling, the top of the casing projects
above the ground surface and any adjacent mound of drill cuttings.
9. Provide positive control to make certain that the bottom of the casing is at least
3 feet below the top of the concrete being placed to prevent a reduction in the
diameter of the pier shaft due to earth pressure and to prevent insitu materials
from falling into and mixing with the concrete.
10. Carefully check elevation of the top of reinforcing steel cage before and after
casing extraction. Upward movement of the steel not exceeding 1 inch, or
downward movements not exceeding 1 inch for every 10 feet of pier length will
be considered acceptable. Upward or downward movements beyond these
limits will be cause for rejection of the pier.
G. Cave-ins:
1. Remove soil which sloughs into the excavated pier shaft prior to concrete
placement:
2. During concrete placement, if the Engineer has reasons to suspect that
concrete was breached by the soil or that the pier, for any other reason, may
contain extraneous material, or otherwise is not in conformance with Drawings
and Specifications, the Engineer may order testing of the pier by coring or
other methods:
a. Contractor will be responsible for paying for testing and additional
construction as required by the Engineer, if the work is found defective.
b. If work is found to be not defective, testing cost will be paid by the Owner.

d. Equipment operation: Measurements are to be obtained with equipment
installed and operating within capacity ranges specified and without
duplicate equipment running.
e. Additional criteria:
1) No narrow band spectral vibration amplitude components, whether
sub-rotational, higher harmonic, or synchronous multiple of running
speed, are to exceed 40 percent of synchronous vibration amplitude
component without manufacturer's detailed verification of origin and
ultimate effect of such excitation.
2) The presence of discernable vibration amplitude peaks in Test Level
2 or 3 vibration spectra at bearing inner or outer race frequencies
shall be cause for rejection of the equipment.
3) For motors, the following shall be cause for rejection:
a) Stator eccentricity evidenced by a spectral peak at 2 times
electrical line frequency that are more than 40 percent of the
peak at rotational frequency.
b) Rotor eccentricity evidenced by a spectral peak at 2 times
electrical line frequency with spectra side bands at the pole pass
frequency around the 2 times line frequency peak.
c) Other rotor problems evidenced by pole pass frequency side
bands around operating speed harmonic peaks or 2 times line
frequency side bands around rotor bar pass frequency or around
2 times the rotor bar pass frequency.
d) Phasing problems evidenced by 1/3 line frequency side band
spectral peaks around the 2 times electrical line frequency peak.
4) The presence of peaks in a High Frequency Enveloping spectra plot
corresponding to bearing, gear or motor rotor bar frequencies or
harmonics of these frequencies shall be cause for rejection of the
equipment; since inadequate lubrication of some equipment may be
a cause of these peaks, lubrication shall be checked, corrected as
necessary and the high frequency envelope analysis repeated.
