SPECIFICATION REVISIONS- Pages 1 to 15 of the Attachment 1- Scope of work

I. INTRODUCTION

The Contractor shall provide the necessary services as defined in this SOW to reline two (2) underground fuel storage tanks (“USTs”) located at the CMR, 75008 PARIS and Raphael building, 75016 PARIS, France. The relining of the tanks shall provide a double walled/skin inside the tanks. The Contractor shall also install an inventory control and leak detection system for the two relined tanks. The contractor shall follow the US ACE EM-385 requirements for confined space entry as defined in paragraph III (Chapter 34).

A site visit to document the site conditions will be conducted.

II. SCOPE OF WORK

There are two existing single walled/skinned steel underground fuel storage tanks. A resin liner (no additional information available) was applied inside these tanks around 1977.

✓ Tank 1 (CMR) – 15,000 5,000 liters capacity, N/A-inch diameter; N/A feet N/A inches length

(approximately 6,000 1,000 diesel inside tank)

✓ Tank 2 (Raphael) – 10,000 liters capacity, 74-inch diameter; 13 feet length (approximately 7,000

8,500 diesel inside tank)

2.1. UST refurbishment/relining work

The refurbishment of the two (2) UST’s shall include, but shall not be limited to, the following:

NOTA: CLIN0001 to CLIN0013 will be for the CMR fuel tank and CLIN00014 to CLIN0026 will be for the Raphael fuel tank.

2.1.1 Site and tank preparation – CLIN0001-CLIN0002 for CMR and CLIN00014-CLIN00015-CLIN00016 for Raphael.

The Contractor shall:

a. Fence off the working area to prevent any unauthorized personnel from entering the working areas.

b. Shut off all electrical current going into the tanks or in proximity to the working area.

c. Place personal safety equipment (including fire protection equipment) readily available around the working area.

F u e l T a n k s R e f u r b i s h m e n t P a g e | 3

d. Empty out the USTs. Diesel fuel shall be transferred from one diesel UST to another. Any excess fuel shall be stored offsite.

e. Carry out a fuel analysis on each tank before existing fuel is added back into the tanks.

Note: The fuel analysis report shall be communicated to the COR before any other action is taken as any other action must be approved by the COR.

If the fuel no longer has the right characteristics, it shall be recycled and destroyed appropriately according to French regulations. A proper fuel disposal certificate shall be provided to the COR.

Note: Given the amount of fuel in the CMR TANK, (1,000 Liters), the fuel shall not be analyzed and shall be recycled right away.

f. Clean all the sludge inside the tanks. The contractor shall be responsible for disposing of all sludge/waste in the tanks according to French regulations. A proper disposal certificate shall be provided to the COR.

g. After analysis, if approved, all fuel shall be transferred from other tanks and the fuel stored off site shall be filtered/polished before being put back into the refurbished UST. The contractor shall use their own filtration device or use the Embassy’s RCI Technologies Fuel Filtration unit (PFPU-3; S/N 22-7972).

If using the RCI Technologies unit, the contractor shall supply their own filters.

The tanks shall be refilled by the US Embassy with new fuel oil after the work has been completed, should it be required in quantities equivalent to those withdrawn.

NOTE: The day tank on the Raphael site shall also have to be emptied of its old fuel and cleaned.

2.1.2. Opening of the tank manholes- CLIN0001 for CMR and CLIN00014 for Raphael.

a. Upon opening of the manholes and prior to any work being performed, the surrounding air quality shall be tested for two parameters:

✓ percentage % of lower explosive limit (LEL)

✓ and oxygen content.

Before any authorized personnel is cleared to commence work, the LEL must be less than 20% and the oxygen content inside the tank must not be +/- 0.5 % of that of the ambient air.

b. An industrial ventilator shall be connected to ensure that the working area is receiving fresh air continually and during the duration of all field activities.

2.1.3. Degassing and cleaning of the tanks- CLIN0001 for CMR and CLIN00014 for Raphael.

a. An industrial ventilator shall be connected and dropped into the tanks. The Contractor shall ensure that the % LEL inside the tanks is also less than 20%.

d. Once all the layers have cured/dried, inspect and test the tanks for uniform thickness and leaks.

e. Document all before, during and after conditions of each tank during the process (including photos) and submit a report for the record.

2.2. Temporary fuel storage – CLIN0005 for CMR and CLIN0019 for Raphael.

Temporary fuel storage on the CMR and Raphael Building shall be required. A 2000-litre mobile tank for Raphael and a 1,000 liters mobile tank for the CMR shall be provided by the contractor and connected to the generators.

The contractor shall ensure that all day tanks connected to each UST are completely full before emptying the USTs. The Contractor shall supply new fuel for the CMR mobile tank to be transferred to the main tank after completion of the work. For Raphael’s mobile tank, the Contractor shall use the fuel of the Raphael tank, to be transferred to the main tank after completion or recycled, depending on the fuel analysis results. The contractor shall also have a plan in place to refill the day tanks at any given time (throughout the duration of the project) in case of an emergency.

F u e l T a n k s R e f u r b i s h m e n t P a g e | 5

2.3. Fuel Lines test and modifications –

US ACE EM-385 requirements for confined space entry. (Chapter 34).

34.A.01 Confined Spaces – Non-Marine Facilities. Confined space (CS) work performed in permanent, fixed facilities and/or performed on construction sites shall be performed in accordance with this Section, 29 CFR

1910.146 and ANSI Z117.1. This section does not regulate underground construction work (tunneling) as a confined space. > See Section 26.

34.A.02 USACE-conducted CS work activities on or in a watercraft or vessel of any kind and/or associated with vessel repair and maintenance operations are covered in Section 34.B.

a. On USACE facilities, all fixed permit-required CS (PRCS) shall be labeled as a PRCS. With the approval of the local Safety Office (SOHO), the CSCP may exclude from labeling those confined spaces that pose little or no hazard, (i.e., a navigation lock), but meet the strict definition of a permit-required confined space (PRCS).

b. On construction sites and/or during O&M activities, all fixed PRCS shall be labeled as a danger. PRCS that are created as part of construction work shall be labeled and have a barrier to restrict entry. All Non Permit-Required Confined Spaces (NPRCS) created as part of construction and/or O&M activities are not required to be labeled.

c. If activities in a NPRCS (i.e., welding), create or have a potential to create a hazardous atmosphere, that space shall be declared a PRCS.

d. All previously identified CSs shall be identified in writing to any contract personnel prior to the beginning of work if they are required to enter and/or work in this area.

(1) The contract documents shall list any known hazards and controls in the CS.

b. NPRCS Entry Procedures:

(1) There are no entry requirements if the space does not contain or have the ability to contain an atmospheric hazard capable of causing death or physical harm.

(2) If a NPRCS has an environment being controlled by permanent ventilation system and/or has an isolation barrier, then entry requires: continual air monitoring; the use of audible/visual alarms for failure of the ventilation system or isolation barrier; and training for the employees in visual contact with the CS and those working in the CS on the proper rescue procedures to be used shall be required. The alarm shall be capable of notifying both the entrants and rescue personnel. This shall be documented and written in the CSE Plan.

c. PRCS Permit. The CSCP shall complete or review and sign the completed PRCS permit (see Form 34-1 for non-mandatory example) and shall be responsible for enforcing the use of PRCS permits for entry into all PRCSs at the facility/site.
