The City of Johnson City is procuring a comprehensive repair, cleaning, and recoating of two municipal water‑storage tanks – the 300,000‑gal Liberty Bell Spheroid elevated tank and the 100,000‑gal ground‑level Limestone Cove tank. The scope includes interior and exterior surface preparation, welding repairs, concrete/grout patching, cathodic protection installation, safety‑rail and ladder upgrades, signage, and optional supplemental items such as additional coating layers and decorative logos. The contract is a fixed‑price, performance‑based award to Clearcreek Coatings, LTD, with a tight calendar‑day schedule (100 days to substantially complete the first tank, 60 days for the second, total 160 days) and liquidated damages of $1,000 per day for any delay. The project requires Tennessee contractor licensing, a drug‑free workplace program, and environmental containment for exterior work.

• Mandatory demobilization week (June 29 – July 3 2025) and re‑mobilization (July 7 2025).
