RE: Scotia Community Services District Request for Quotation – Primary Clarifier No. 1 Rehabilitation
and Control Box Replacement Project
WesTech Engineering, Inc. is pleased to provide the enclosed firm price proposal for your consideration
and review for the above referenced project.
▪ Clarifier Experience. WesTech Engineering has been in business for over 45 years and has over
3,500 clarifier installations for treating a variety of applications. This broad experience means we
offer a robust clarifier which can consistently produce the desired solids concentrations and
overflow water quality. All equipment provided will be engineered as a customer unit to ensure
ideal fit and operation. No components will be supplied as refurbished or rebuilt units.
▪ Ease of System Operation. WesTech’s mechanism is designed to handle the torque requirements
specified along with appropriate safety factors including an alarm and motor cutout to ensure safe
and reliable operation. WesTech will provide classroom and hands-on training necessary to help
operators and maintenance personnel act with confidence in operating the clarifier. WesTech has
included only high-quality components that are designed for long-term use to avoid unnecessary
maintenance costs.
▪ Customer Service and Extraordinary Support. Every single one of the 500+ WesTech employees
shares in the ownership of the company. This employee ownership fosters a customer service
focus and we have achieved a customer service rating greater than 97%; one of the highest in our
industry. We take pride in our service and stand behind every project.
WesTech looks forward to working closely with Scotia Community Services District as the project
progresses and trust this information proves helpful in your evaluation. Please do not hesitate to contact
us with any questions or to continue our discussion.
Sincerely yours,

operation, above ground piping assembly, equipment installation, coordination with subcontractors,
implementation of project plans, specifications, and permit conditions.
Typical clarifier designs that are center fed as shown above use a stationary center column (blue
rectangle) that also acts as the support for the mechanism. As a result, the floor of the clarifier rather
than the walls bear the load of the mechanism, and only a half span bridge is required (green rectangle).
The existing design is a hybrid of the two standard designs utilizing the bridge to support the mechanism
and using a rotating center column/drive shaft combo to direct the influent and turn the rake arms.
Conclusion
WesTech has a firm understanding of the existing equipment and tank conditions and has chosen to
utilize the existing mechanism design to replace-in-kind. This approach is the most cost effective and the
safest for the existing concrete structure.
On-site Services
Item Quantity
Total Number of Trips 2
Total Number of Days 2
For inspection, observation of torque testing, startup, and instruction of plant personnel. Additional on-
site services may be purchased at standard WesTech daily rates plus travel and living expenses.
This proposal has been reviewed and is approved for issue by Kevin Cheatham on October 8, 2019.
Special Requirements
• Dehumidification equipment allowances are not included nor anticipated.
• Special considerations for breathing apparatus, air quality monitoring, vacuum evacuation of
weld fumes, and fans have not been included.
• Special paint testing (spark, holiday) is not included.
• WesTech assumes that crane access will be 10 feet or closer to the tank wall.
Labor
1. Price is based on open shop labor practices and rates.
2. Price is based on free and easy access to and around tank foundations and tank shell for no less
than 12 hours during the daytime for 7 days per week. Although pricing may not include working
during all the access time, we require access during these times to maintain schedule due to
events that cannot be foreseen.
3. Price is based on one (1) move-in to the jobsite with clear and continuous access to and from
the jobsite. If another move-in is required due to purchaser's delays or if foundations are not
complete and stand-by time is required, the costs incurred by WesTech shall be to the
purchaser's account and completion date will be delayed, without penalty to WesTech, by the
number of days until WesTech crews remobilize on site.
4. Price does not include personnel or equipment (blankets, tenting, hose, etc.) assigned
exclusively for safety and/or fire watch/protection and/or security and/or quality/inspection
unless specifically noted above. OSHA does not require a hole watch and we have assumed the
tank is a non-permit-required confined space which does not require a hole watch.
5. We assume the construction parking lot to be close enough to the work site that bussing is not
required. If bussing is required, all associated costs shall be for the purchaser's account.
6. If field delays are caused due to non-WesTech errors, standard T&M rates apply to the delay.
All the terms and conditions of this proposal become an integral part of a resultant order.
Field Service
Daily Rate $1,200
Prices do not include field service unless noted, but it is available at the daily rate plus expenses. The customer will be charged for a minimum
of three days for time at the jobsite. Travel will be billed at the daily rate. Any canceled charges due to the customer's request will be added
to the invoice. The greater of visa procurement time or a two week notice is required prior to trip departure date.
3. Payment Terms
Submittals Approved 15%
Release for Fabrication 35%
Net 30 days from Shipment 50%
All payments are net 30 days. Partial shipments are allowed. Other terms per WesTech proforma invoice.
4. Schedule
Submittals, after PO receipt 6 to 8 Weeks
Customer Review Period 2 weeks
Ready to Ship, after Submittal Approval 18 to 20 weeks
Total Weeks from PO to Shipment 26 to 30 weeks
Freight: Prices quoted are F.O.B. shipping point with freight allowed to a readily accessible location nearest to jobsite. All claims
for damage or loss in shipment shall be initiated by purchaser.
Paint: If your equipment has paint included in the price, please take note to the following. Primer paints are designed to
provide only a minimal protection from the time of application (usually for a period not to exceed 30 days). Therefore, it is
imperative that the finish coat be applied within 30 days of shipment on all shop primed surfaces. Without the protection of
the final coatings, primer degradation may occur after this period, which in turn may require renewed surface preparation and
coating. If it is impractical or impossible to coat primed surfaces within the suggested time frame, WesTech strongly
recommends the supply of bare metal, with surface preparation and coating performed in the field. All field surface
preparation, field paint, touch-up, and repair to shop painted surfaces are not by WesTech.
