About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) file for the FPC Yankton Above Ground Storage Tanks Synopsis Solicitation.
The Q&A addresses nine clarification questions regarding the scope of work for converting an existing underground fuel storage system to an above-ground tank system. Key technical specifications clarified include: (1) the fuel management/key-fob system must be hard-wired, network-connected, and FARA-approved; (2) the new above-ground tank will be located in the same position as the current underground tank and fuel island; (3) the tank manufacturer will determine required foundation specifications for the reinforced concrete pad; (4) the dispenser configuration consists of one dispenser with two hoses and nozzles, with one hose and nozzle per product (diesel and unleaded); (5) a temporary fuel tank is required during construction to maintain fueling operations while the underground tank is removed and the new system is installed, containing gasoline product with no water; (6) the Government retains responsibility for fuel ordering; (7) the attic access point is a wooden hatch measuring approximately 3 feet by 3 feet; (8) the estimated conduit run from the control box in the office through the attic to where conduit exits is approximately 205 feet; and (9) the estimated distance from the ESD/shop building to the tank location is approximately 114 feet. The document also includes photographs showing the attic access point and conduit routing.

Questions and Answers for FPC Yankton - Above Ground Storage Tanks Synopsis Solicitation
1. Key Fob / Fuel Management System
Q. 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.
A. The system will need to be hard-wired and be able to connect to the network so will need to be fatara approved
2. Aboveground Tank Location
Q. The documents do not clearly state whether the new above-ground 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.
A. The tank will need to be placed back into the same location as the current system and fuel island
3. New Concrete Pad Size
Q. 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.
A. The tank manufacturer should determine what foundation would be needed
4. Dispenser Hose Configuration
Q. 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.
A. The dispenser would be one dispenser with two hoses and nozzles and one hose and nozzle per product
5. Temporary Fuel Tank During Construction
Q. 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 above-ground 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.
A. Yes, a temporary fuel tank will be needed for fuel transfer from UST prior to deactivation and fuel operations during construction. There will be Gasoline product in the tank, there is no water within the tank or system. Then pumped from the Temporary fueling tank in to the completed AST
6. Fuel Responsibility
Q. 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.
A. Fuel ordering responsibility will fall on the government.
7. Where/what does the attic access look like and what are the access dimensions?
A. The attic access point is the wooden hatch picture posted attachment here in SAM and it measures roughly 3ft by 3ft. Below are additional photos.
8. What is the footage from the control box in the office up through the attic and back down from where the conduit comes out of the attic?
A. The footage is estimated to be about 205 Ft.
9. What is the footage from ESD/ shop building to the tank location?A. The footage is estimated to be about 114 Ft.
