About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for RFQ 6923g226Q000028 issued by the Department of Transportation Maritime Administration (USMMA) for the removal and scrapping of three steel underground No. 2 heating oil storage tanks located at Delano Hall and O'Hara Hall. The solicitation requires permanent extraction and disposal of three USTs containing approximately 33,843 gallons total (O'Hara: 5,963 gallons; Delano Tank #1: 11,207 gallons; Delano Tank #2: 16,673 gallons), along with all associated piping, wiring, components, and monitoring systems. Work includes fuel handling and disposition, soil sampling and potential remediation, excavation and backfill operations, concrete and asphalt restoration, and reconfiguration of existing day tanks to support emergency generators at both facilities. The contract is structured as a firm fixed price requirement with a 60-calendar-day performance period beginning from the Contracting Officer's Notice to Proceed, with no overtime permitted.
Key requirements and clarifications from the Q&A include: the contractor is solely responsible for obtaining all federal, state, county, and local permits and licenses; no tank tightness testing, historical records, or environmental documentation is available, so bidders must base proposals on observable site conditions; if fuel is determined unsuitable for reuse, the contractor assumes full responsibility for managing disposition and regulatory compliance with no government support; clean fill is required for backfill operations; analytical soil testing is mandatory regardless of spill suspicion; and the contractor must return all work sites to pre-project condition and assume liability for any damage to Academy property or vegetation. The RFQ closing date was extended to September 11, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET (Amendment One), with anticipated award by end of September 2026. A mandatory site visit was held August 25, 2026, and 100% performance and payment bonds are required. Proposals and past performance questionnaires must be emailed to durba.ray@dot.gov and cc'd to brian.wiley.ctr@dot.gov.

If none of these records are available, please confirm that bidders are to base their proposals solely upon conditions observable during the site visit and the written solicitation. | None of these records are avalable. Quoters are to base their proposals solely upon conditions observable during the site visit and the written solicitation. | |
| 1.2 Please clarify the basis for the decision to permanently remove these tanks at this time. It is our understanding that the tanks may have been inactive for an extended period. Please confirm whether removal was recommended or directed by EPA, NYSDEC, Nassau County Department of Health, USMMA Environmental Compliance, or any other regulatory or environmental authority. | No, USMMA decided to remove the tanks due to the use of gas as a fuel sorce. | |
| 2. Do you have knowledge of any past fuel releases or spills for these tanks, that would result in the expectation of discovering contaminated soils? | No known leaks or spills | |
| 2.1 Are there any excavation or site work permits required from the village, town or county? | See Regulatory Engineering Framework in the SOW | See Attachment 1-Amendment One -Updated RFQ-Section C- Revised SOW- Section Rgulatory Engineering Frame work -Permits and Fees: Yes, the Contractor is solely responsible for procuring, scheduling, and paying for all federal, state, county, and local permits, licenses, and inspections required for both the removal of old tanks and registration/permitting of the new AST or UST systems. |
| 2.2 Please clarify how the Government intends to address materially different site conditions or contamination that cannot reasonably be quantified from the solicitation or site visit. | See Execution Requirments in the SOW. | See Execution Requirments in the See Attachment 1-Amendment One -Updated RFQ-Section C- Revised SOW |
| 3. Based on current information, it is reasonable to expect the existing fuel oil in these 3 tanks is very old and no longer usable, even with filtering & polishing. Please clarify if our pricing should include filtering, polishing, and transfer to another tank on site…or we should figure on all existing fuel oil to be removed and properly disposed (recommended)? | See Execution Requirments in the SOW. | It is the sole responsibility of the Contractor. See Execution requirements in the See Attachment 1-Amendment One -Updated RFQ-Section C- Revised SOW |
| 4. Your RFP mentions “…if the fuel cannot be re-used on site...the contractor shall resell the product to the highest bidder…and monetary value credited back to the government…” If deemed not re-usable by USMMA, then the fuel is “bad” and has no value to anyone else. Further, re-selling the fuel has legal taxation implications. We will not re-sell this fuel. Please clarify this requirement. | See Execution Requirments in the SOW. | See Execution requirement in Attachment 1-Amendment One -Updated RFQ-Section C- Revised SOW |
| 4.1 We recommend that fuel handling, polishing, transfer, or disposal be established as a unit-price item on a per-gallon basis, and that contaminated soil excavation, transportation, and disposal be established as a unit-price item on a per-cubic-yard basis, based on actual quantities encountered. | See Execution Requirments in the SOW.
