If the Contractor fails or refuses to comply promptly, the Contracting Officer may issue an order stopping all and any part of the work and hold the Contractor in default.

5.

No other person, including the COR or any other VA personnel are authorized to request additional work be performed by the Contractor. Any additional services performed that are not authorized by the Contracting Officer shall be considered inclusive.

6. The contractor shall provide all services in accordance and compliant with the latest standards, rules, regulations, and laws, including but not limited to Joint Commission (JC) standard EC.02.05.07 EP 8, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 110-2010:8.3.8, and ASTM.

NFPA 110 §8.3.7 - A fuel quality test shall be performed at least annually using applicable ASTM standards or the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Appendix A – Explanatory Material A.8.3.7 - Diesel Fuel maintenance and regular testing should begin on the day of installation and first fill to establish a benchmark guideline for future comparison. Diesel fuel should be monitored for water on the tank bottom and tested for degradation and contamination.

All testing should be performed using ASTM-approved test methods such as, but not limited to, the following and meet engine manufacturer requirements….

The following characteristics are subject to degradation and may change with time and the environment. D975 requires the following tests to be conducted annually post-delivery.

https://www.astm.org/

Compliance Determination: Facilities must provide annual testing records demonstrating adequate monitoring of water on the tank bottoms, degradation, and contamination as listed below as well as any testing required by the engine manufacturer.

DESCRIPTION ASTM 975

CONTAMINATION

DESCRIPTION ASTM 975/ ISO

Microbial (ATP Bioluminescence Recommended) D7463 In addition to the above-mentioned characteristics, the facility shall determine if the engine manufacturer identifies any additional annual fuel oil testing requirements, ensure that the fuel oil is tested in accordance with both the ASTM and engine manufacturer’s requirements, and maintain documentation documenting all testing.

ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDED TESTS CRITICAL FOR GENERATOR RELIABILITY

DESCRIPTION ASTM 975/ ISO

Density/ API Gravity D1298 / D287 Aromatics D1319 Thermal Stability D6468 Pour Point D97 Gums and Resins D381 Water D6304 Sediment D473 Cleanliness/ Particle Count D5452 / D7619 Trace Metals D7111 Oxidative Stability D2274 / D4625

Additional Considerations.

1. Aromatics can be performed on Diesel fuel, but it is not typically done. This test is primarily geared toward gasoline and aviation fuels.

2. Thermal Stability is a good test to perform on diesel fuels that sit for long periods of time. With the addition of more and more biofuels being added to diesel, the Thermal Stability can be significantly compromised causing gel and gum build-up, and filter clogging. The diesel may look fine visually but it can be thermally unstable.

3. Pour Point analysis can provide good information about where diesel is used in very cold climates. However, the Cloud Point analysis is also going to give you good results on the behavior of the diesel in cold temperatures. Therefore, Pour Point may not be necessary.

4. Water and Sediment testing is already covered in the Degradation section, but you may want to consider adding Dissolved Suspended Water depending on the diesel engine manufacturer, suspended water should be less than 500 parts per million, and newer warranties may even require fewer than 200 parts per million.

5. Recommend testing for Particle Size and Count according to ISO cleanliness code in lieu of

Cleanliness/Particle Count. Because Cleanliness/Particle Count analysis will give you the weight of particles present, and the particle size and count are more in line with assessing fuel filter life expectancy.

Sample Location: Marion tanks number 1, 2, 4; Fort Wayne tanks number 1, 2, 4.

Reporting Requirements:

The contractor shall submit a complete report with laboratory analysis results to the facility within 30 calendar days from the day of sampling.

Each complete report shall include the following items at a minimum:

• Cover letter: A short description on sampling procedure(s), company name, date of sampling, sampler name, and laboratory name.

• Laboratory analysis report: The report shows the results and applicable threshold for each parameter shown above.

• Copy of chain of custody.

• Copies of sampler and laboratory credentials.

Overfill Prevention Equipment – Functionality Test

a) The contractor shall ensure that overfill prevention equipment is set to activate at the correct level specified and shall activate when regulated substances reach that level.

There are three types of overfill protection devices:

1. Automatic shutoff devices (also known as drop tube shutoff devices or “flapper” valves).

2. Overfill alarms; and

3. Ball-float valves (also known as float-vent valves). Ball-float valves can no longer be used on new tank installations. Repair or replacement of existing ball-float valves is prohibited.

A faulty ball-float valve shall be replaced by an approved method of overfill prevention.

b) Contractor shall determine the following:

-Device activates at 90%, restricts flow or triggers an audible and visual alarm (e.g., ATG or ball float.).

-Device that restricts flow 30 minutes before overflow provided at no more than 95% capacity and activates an alarm 5 minutes before overflow (e.g., ATG and ball float.)

-Device activates at 95%, positive shut-off of flow to UST (e.g., drop tube flapper valves.); or -Device provides positive shut-off before UST fittings are exposed to product.

c) Remove automatic shutoff and ball float devices to confirm functionality. Remove probes to confirm functionality of exterior alarm/float communication at calculated height.

Verify conflicting equipment does not affect overfill device operability. Conflict examples:

ball float device may not function with suction pumps or coaxial fills; automatic shutoffs may not function with ball float stem inside tank unless the automatic shut-off device is set lower than the ball float stem. If known, include the overfill device make and model and list the recommended practice or code followed.
