Alaska Fire Service Aviation Refueler Conversion from 100LL to Jet A Service

Statement of Work

1.0 Background

The Alaska Fire Service provides aviation fueling support to wildland fire and other projects throughout the State of Alaska. Our fleet of refuelers currently supplies both AvGas (100LL) and Jet A to various aircraft in support of wildland fire. The Alaska Fire Service is requesting bids to convert one of our aviation refuelers from AvGas to Jet-A service.

2.0 Objective

The subject refueler is a 2,500 GL Stainless Steel DOT 406 tank mounted on a 2013 Ford F750 Chassis. The successful bidder will completely drain, purge and dispose of any remaining AvGas (100LL) from the tank, plumbing, filter vessel, and all appurtenances. The vendor shall install new fuel filters. Remove old AvGas (100LL) placards and labeling and install new Jet-A placards and labeling. The vendor shall remove the existing over-the-wing nozzle and underwing nozzle and install a new over-the-wing Jet-A nozzle and under-the-wing nozzle which will be provided by the Alaska Fire Service. The vendor shall install a de-icing additive injector system compatible with de-icing additive Prist Hi-Flash/Hi-Flo. At the end of the project, the refueler will be operational and ready to service aircraft with Jet-A.
