This Agreement is to provide engineering design, bidding support, construction management and inspection services, and to complete a condition assessment of the CSIP and SRDF cathodic protection systems.
The Agency will release a separate Request for Proposals (RFP), and award a contract to perform the construction and repair work. The construction phase will span over several fiscal years; the scope of work will consist of replacing depleted anodes, damaged rectifiers and test stations, and installing new remote monitoring units.
