Questions and Answers for FPC Yankton - Above Ground Storage Tanks Synopsis Solicitation

1. Key Fob / Fuel Management System

The documents do not appear to identify the specific key fob software or fuel management platform. They also do not clearly state whether communication is hard-wired, cellular, network-based, or standalone. Please assume a complete operational fuel-management/key-fob system is required, but we need clarification on the required system, software, communication method, and whether it ties into any existing Government system.

The system will need to be able to connect to the network so will need to be fatara approved

2. Aboveground Tank Location

The documents do not clearly state whether the new aboveground tank is to be installed in the same exact location as the existing underground tank. This needs to be clarified because the existing underground tank removal, excavation/backfill, clearances, access, bollards, and new concrete pad layout could affect the final location.

The tank will need to be placed back into the same location as the current system and fuel island

3. New Concrete Pad Size

The exact new pad dimensions are not shown in the documents we currently have. The scope indicates a new reinforced concrete pad/foundation is required for the aboveground tank, but the final pad footprint, thickness/reinforcement requirements, anchor locations, and island layout should be confirmed by the Government and/or the approved tank manufacturer.

The tank manufacturer should determine what foundation would be needed

4. Dispenser Hose Configuration

The documents do not clearly confirm whether the dispensers are one hose per product.

Based on the general scope, it appears the project is intended to have separate diesel and unleaded dispensing, but the required dispenser configuration, number of hoses, number of nozzles, and whether each product is single-hose or multi-hose should be clarified before final pricing.

The dispenser would be one dispenser with two hoses and nozzles and one hose per product

5. Temporary Fuel Tank During Construction

The documents do not clearly state whether a temporary fuel tank is required during construction to maintain fueling operations while the existing underground tank is removed and the new aboveground system is installed. Please clarify whether temporary fueling is required, and if so, whether the contractor is responsible for providing the temporary tank, set up, containment, permitting, monitoring, removal, and related controls.

Yes, a temporary fuel tank will be needed for fuel transfer from UST prior to deactivation and fuel operations during construction. Then pumped from the Temporary fueling tank in to the completed AST

6. Fuel Responsibility

The documents do not clearly state whether the contractor is responsible for providing, transferring, storing, disposing of, or replacing fuel during construction. Please clarify whether the Government will handle all existing and new fuel, or whether the contractor is responsible for fuel transfer, temporary storage, disposal of contaminated fuel, initial fill of the new tank, or any fuel needed for startup/testing.

Fuel ordering responsibility will fall on the government.
