Golden Valley, Minnesota 55427
Dear Mr. Hansen:
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal to provide engineering and
inspection services during the rehabilitation of the North and South Reservoirs in
Golden Valley, Minnesota.
When it comes to quality inspections on water towers, KLM sets the standard that other
companies try to duplicate. KLM has a staff with the most credentials associated with
AWS welding and NACE coating inspections of water storage tanks in the five -state
area. Ensuring a project is completed according to the project specifications, codes,
and standards is critical for a successful project.
Our inspections are performed by a professional staff with current and proper
credentials. Our inspectors, who work directly under our Structural Engineer and Project
Supervisor, are certified as both NACE and AWS inspectors. Each employee takes
ownership of their project. Our professional staff has a combined 150 years of
experience and have successfully completed over 450 rehabilitations of water towers of
various sizes. The KLM staff is fluent in the current codes and standards in the
engineering industry.
KLM inspectors accept or reject the workmanship of the day. The main reason owners
hire a professional consultant is to protect the owner's investment. The average tank
without a professional inspection usually needs to be repaired after fifteen years
compared to KLM projects, which are lasting 22 or more years.
No firm receives respect from tank contractors and subcontractors like KLM. Our role is
to provide quality assurance and enforce the specification. KLM is very thorough with
our documentation of what and how the work is being performed each day. KLM's
reputation of quality is second to none. We stand behind every project we work on.
KLM would like to assist you with our expertise on quality control which will make this a
successful project for many years to come. By selecting KLM, you can be assured that
the project will be completed to your satisfaction.
We look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
KLM Engineering, Inc.

Project Understanding
KLM understands the City of Golden Valley/Joint Water Commission is interested in
performing the repairs on the North and South Ground Storage Reservoirs as detailed
in the 2017 KLM evaluation reports. KLM proposes to provide Design and Engineering
services for the duration of the project as described below.
Benefits to the Citv of Golden Vall
■ Today's protective coating systems are designed to last 20-25 years with only minor
maintenance. Tight project specifications and inspections give the coating systems
the opportunity to realize their intended service life.
■ KLM proposes to prepare a specification package specifically designed for water
storage tank reconditioning. Our experience has shown that the more
comprehensive the specification is, the more likely it is that the project is completed
on time, on budget, with quality workmanship. The KLM specifications will mitigate
requests for change orders during reconditioning.
• KLM's inspectors monitor workmanship during all phases of work to verify the
contractor's work meets the specification. Utilizing this process, maintenance costs
will be reduced by decreasing the number of reconditioning cycles over the life of the
tank.
■ Our project administration and inspection services provide a buffer between the
project specifications and the real -world challenges that can negatively affect project
performance. To initiate the project correctly, KLM's project management assures
that a qualified contractor is retained at an appropriate cost.
KLM Work Plan
Upon execution of a contract, KLM proposes the following schedule to perform the
work:
City of Golden Valley/JWC approval:
1. Preliminary Specifications

Reconditioning of: 3,000,000 Gallon Hydropillar
• Dates of Service: 2013 Reconditioning, 2015 Warranty Inspection
• Conditions & Services: This tower is one of the largest elevated water storage tanks
in the country. The water tower project included a pre -assessment of the conditions,
including an updated engineer cost estimate. Plans and specifications were approved
as well as qualified contactor during the bid process. KLM worked with the contractor
on numerous submittals including coating selection, drawing reviews, scheduling and
more. KLM's Antenna Division worked with several carriers to coordinate efforts of
relocating cellular equipment to temporary locations during the reconditioning of the
tower. KLM conducted weekly meetings on site, to synchronize the efforts of the city,
engineer and contractor(s) as the project commenced. The project was successful
being completed on time and within budget. The warranty ROV inspection found
virtually no coating failures on over 100,000 square feet of surface area.
City of Eden Prairie, MN Market Center Tower
Reconditioning of: 2,000,000 Gallon Composite
• Dates of Service: 2016 Reconditioning
• Conditions & Service: The Market Center Tower is an iconic structure for the City,
with working clocks on the main column. Given the high profile, size, and challenging
location of this tower, the City Manager (Rick Wahlen) performed detailed interviews
with each bidding consultant and their staff, to select the best qualified firm to provide
the engineering and inspection services required by the City. As the awarded
consultant, KLM provided design services, construction management, full time AWS
welding and NACE coating inspections throughout the duration of the project. Rick was
instrumental in the project from the beginning of pre -construction to the final walk
through and close out, including personally climbing the tower regularly to confirm the
project had met his standards. Given the tight confines of the jobsite, KLM conducted
weekly meetings locally to update the neighboring businesses and residents as the
project commenced. The project was successful, being completed on time and within
budget. 2017 Tnemec Tank of the Year 2nd Runner Up.

Dear Mr. Hansen:
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal to provide design, engineering,
and inspection services during the rehabilitation of the 1,500,000-gallon elevated water
tower in Golden Valley, Minnesota.
KLM's in-house engineering staff exemplifies the "Rules of Professional Conduct" as
described in chapter 1805 by the Board of Engineering. Our structural engineering
department ensures your water tower will meet AMA, OSHA, and MDH Codes and
Standards during specification writing and throughout the project.
When it comes to quality inspections on water storage tanks, KLM sets the standard
that other companies try to duplicate. KLM has a staff with the most credentials
associated with AWS welding and NACE coating inspections of water storage tanks in
the five -state area. Ensuring a project is completed according to the project
specifications, codes, and standards is critical for a successful project.
Our dedication to quality gained national attention with two of our tower projects being
recognized as first and second runner up for the 2017 Tnemec Tank of the Year
Contest. Both towers were featured in the 2018 Tnemec Calendar.
city of 5t. (;loud, Minnesota: Kunner- up city of Lden Hraine, Minnesota: 2nd kunner- up
Project: KLM & Landmark Structures Project. KLM & Classic Protective Coatings
Our inspections are performed by a professional staff with current and proper
. • credentials. Our inspectors, who work directly under our Structural Engineer and Project
Supervisor, are certified as both NACE and AWS inspectors. Each employee takes
ownership of their project. Our professional staff has a combined 150 years of
experience and have successfully completed over 450 rehabilitations of water tanks of
various sizes. The KLM staff is fluent in the current codes and standards for new and
reconditioned water tower projects.
KLM inspectors accept or reject the workmanship of the day. The main reason owners
hire a professional consultant is to protect the owner's investment. The average tank
without a professional inspection usually needs to be repaired after fifteen years
compared to KLM projects, which are lasting 22 or more years.
No firm receives respect from tank contractors and subcontractors like KLM. Our role is
to provide quality assurance and enforce the specification. KLM is very thorough with
our documentation of what and how the work is being performed each day. KLM's
reputation of quality is second to none. We stand behind every project we work on.
KLM would like to assist you with our expertise on quality control which will make this a
successful project for many years to come. By selecting KLM, you can be assured that
the project will be completed to your satisfaction.
We look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
KLM Engineering, Inc.

Proposal
.-IN
Project Understanding
KLM understands the City of Golden Valley/Joint Water Commission is planning on
having repairs made to Tower No. 1, the 1,500,000-gallon elevated water tower. The
intent of the repairs is to protect the structure from corrosion for an additional 7-10 years
until they can build a new water tower.
The Scope of Work for the repairs will be:
• Spot coating repairs below the high-water line on the interior wet
• Complete removal and replacement of the interior coatings above the high-water
line
• Power wash the exterior of the tower
• Spot coating repairs on the exterior of the tower (450 square foot estimated)
Benefits to the City of Golden Valley
Power washing and overcoating systems are designed to last 7-10 years with only
minor maintenance. Tight project specifications and full-time inspections give the
coating systems the opportunity to realize their intended service life.
• KLM proposes to prepare a specification package specifically designed for water
tower reconditioning. Our experience has shown that the more comprehensive the
specification is, the more likely it is that the project is completed on time, on budget,
with quality workmanship. The KLM specifications will mitigate requests for change
orders during reconditioning.
Welding and full time NACE Coating Inspections during reconditioning assures that
the work performed by the contractor is in conformance with the specifications, as to
maximize its life expectancy. KLM's inspectors monitor workmanship during all
phases of work to verify the contractor's work meets the specification. Utilizing this
process, maintenance costs will be reduced by decreasing the number of
reconditioning cycles over the life of the tank.
Our project administration and inspection services provide a buffer between the
project specifications and the real -world challenges that can negatively affect project
performance. To initiate the project correctly, KLM's project management assures
that a qualified contractor is retained at an appropriate cost.

The inspector assigned to this project will be a NACE Coating Inspector and/or AWS
Certified Welding Inspector. All our inspectors have extensive practical experience and
knowledge of water storage tank reconditioning. They are experienced sandblasters,
painters, climbers, riggers, coating inspectors, welders and welding inspectors which
allow the inspector to perform inspections alongside the contractor to ensure
conformance to the project specification.
At a minimum the field inspections will include the following:
• A preconstruction meeting with the client and contractor to clearly define the role
of the Engineer and Inspector, to discuss the intent of the specifications, and to
ensure all parties agree to the scope of work and expectations regarding the
quality of work.
• Monitor and approval of the structural repairs and modifications for conformance
to the specifications.
• Inspection of the abrasive blasting media and equipment for conformance to the
specifications and to prevent contamination of surfaces during surface
preparation with moisture and oil or other contaminants.
• Monitor the paint removal and disposal process for conformance to the
specifications and environmental regulations.
• Monitor the contractors mixing and application of the coatings for conformance to
the specifications and the coating manufacturer's recommendations.
• Approve surface preparation samples.
Record the contractor's progress for adherence to the construction schedule.
• Submit daily and weekly inspection reports. Prepare and file copies of the
reports on construction activities.
• Coordinate and review testing of materials for conformance to the specification
and environmental regulations.
■ Monitor punch list items and subsequent corrective action by the contractor.
• Final inspection, substantial completion, and project acceptance.

Project Profiles
KLM has an unparalleled record of consistently delivering successful projects like yours.
KLM has planned, designed, and refurbished water towers for the past twenty years.
The longevity of our projects is what we are most proud of. What owners most
appreciate is the return in investment KLM brings to each rehabilitation project. The
following pages list projects KLM has completed, like the proposed tank for the City of
Golden Valley.
City of Plymouth, MN Tower 101/55
Reconditioning of: 3,000,000 Gallon Hydropillar
• Dates of Service: 2013 Reconditioning, 2015 Warranty Inspection
• Conditions & Services: This tower is one of the largest elevated water storage tanks
in the country. The water tower project included a pre -assessment of the conditions,
including an updated engineer cost estimate. Plans and specifications were approved
as well as qualified contactor during the bid process. KLM worked with the contractor
on numerous submittals including coating selection, drawing reviews, scheduling and
more. KLM's Antenna Division worked with several carriers to coordinate efforts of
relocating cellular equipment to temporary locations during the reconditioning of the
tower. KLM conducted weekly meetings on site, to synchronize the efforts of the city,
engineer and contractor(s) as the project commenced. The project was successful
being completed on time and within budget. The warranty ROV inspection found
virtually no coating failures on over 100,000 square feet of surface area.
City of Eden Prairie, MN Market Center Tower
Reconditioning of: 2,000,000 Gallon Composite
• Dates of Service: 2016 Reconditioning
• Conditions & Service: The Market Center Tower is an iconic structure for the City,
with working clocks on the main column. Given the high profile, size, and challenging
location of this tower, the City Manager (Rick Wahlen) performed detailed interviews
with each bidding consultant and their staff, to select the best qualified firm to provide
the engineering and inspection services required by the City. As the awarded
consultant, KLM provided design services, construction management, full time AWS
welding and NACE coating inspections throughout the duration of the project. Rick was
instrumental in the project from the beginning of pre -construction to the final walk
through and close out, including personally climbing the tower regularly to confirm the
project had met his standards. Given the tight confines of the jobsite, KLM conducted
weekly meetings locally to update the neighboring businesses and residents as the
project commenced. The project was successful, being completed on time and within
budget. 2017 Tnemec Tank of the Year 2nd Runner Up.
City of Mendota Heights, MN Lexington Ave. Tower
Reconditioning of: 2,000,000 Gallon Tower
• Dates of Service: 2010 Reconditioning, 2012 Warranty Inspection, 2013 Antenna
Engineering Services, 2015 Antenna Engineering Services
• Conditions & Services: As the approved consultant for the Lexington Avenue Tower,
KLM completed an evaluation for preparation of the specification for reconditioning of
the tower. This project presented obstacles as it needed full containment per MPCA
requirements due to the existing coating containing chromium. KLM worked hand in
hand with the MPCA to monitor air quality during the removal of the coating. In
addition, KLM worked with the FAA on height restrictions and light obstruction as the
tower was in the flight pattern of the Minneapolis Airport. This reconditioning project
was successfully completed to client's request. The Lexington Tower can be observed
from 494/1-lighway 35 and the airport daily.

interior dry sweating areas also underwent a full coating replacement. The coating
system used on this project was based on the most recent technology- a Tnemec
coating system with a zinc primer, epoxy intermediate coat, 2nd intermediat coat of
urethane and a fluoropolymer topcoat. The project was completed on time and within
budget.
Sauk Rapids, MN Tower No. 2
Design Build of. 500,000 Gallon Single Pedestal
-Dates of Service: 2015 Reconditioning/ Design Build Services
• Conditions & Services: KLM was selected as the Design Build team for the reconditioning
of this tower. Due to inaccurate data provided, KLM took the initiative to re-evaluate the
tower to accurately identify the scope of services needed including full containment, and
upgrading the coating system to emphasize the specific color scheme. Along with preparing
specifications, KLM retained a contractor and provided project construction management,
design services, and full-time inspection throughout the duration of the project. The tower
was completed to the full requirements of Sauk Rapids.
