BKA Fuel Cargo Line SOW Revision 1.pdf

BKA – Sitka, AK – Fuel Cargo Line March 27, 2023

SUMMARY OF WORK

1.0 GENERAL

1.1 SCOPE

The selected Contractor shall design, engineer, and furnish all labor, products, equipment, and materials for the construction and installation of approximately 925’ of 4” steel fuel pipeline and 480/277 VAC feeder in 3” fiberglass conduit on Biorka (BKA) Island located near Sitka, Alaska. The new fuel pipeline will replace an existing line that is routed on west side of the road (hillside). The ends of the fuel line are the pig catcher located atop the existing fuel tanks and the fuel barge connection located on the dock. This new pipeline will establish a route located on the East side of the road and above the approximate shoreline. Where the pipeline crosses the road, a concrete channel with removable covers, will be provided to access the pipeline for testing, maintenance, and repair. At no point will the pipeline be direct buried.

An existing 480/277 VAC feeder connects the power house and dock utility building. The feeder conduit is mounted atop and supported by the existing fuel line and subject to damage from falling trees. This feeder will need a new routing above ground apart from where it crosses the road at each end between disconnect located at the trestle abutment and the first pull box located outside the powerhouse buildings.

“Construction and Installation” will include, but is not limited to all site preparation, vegetation clearing, culvert replacement, installation of road crossing reinforced concrete vault and cover to withstand up to 140 tons (approx. 31 feet); footings and stanchions for fuel cargo line (2 foot above ground), testing IAW API standards, installation of power run; pier supports and connections of fuel cargo line and fiberglass conduit; manual stainless steel air relief valves;

removal of existing fuel cargo line and attached feeder conduit.

The following items are a summary of the project and are provided solely for the purpose of describing the general nature of the work. The Contractor is responsible for accomplishing all items of work identified in the design/engineering, applicable drawings, specifications, and provisions of the contract:

A. General
