4 Flex Hose Assemblies, Renew Base on prior experience we know that many of the hoses tables are listed in the table s are constructed using re‐usable fittings. If the contractor assumes the risk for total replacement, will the CG allow for re‐use of ( in good condition ) clearly re‐usable fittings particularly in the case of long lead availability?

IAW with TS‐505‐2 Hoses and Expansion Joints, section 3.1.5.1 government shall considered fittings a one time use, and shall not reuse existing hose fittings. Government request all fittings renewed, and in circumstances where long lead fittings are not attainable in the period of performance, requests a CFR with recommendation to determine best course of actions to proceed.

5 Tank Sounding Tube, Replace 1. Do the piping lengths provided in Table 1 represent the entire lengths of piping to be replaced per tank? Or, do they represent tank depths only? 2.

Is the transition flange above tank ( i/e., the flange closest to the transmitter ) required to be replaced too?

Lengths provided in the specification for Table 1 are the approx. lengths based on drawings for the lengths of the sounding tube, and not the depth of the tank. The transition flange as shown in the bottom of figure 1 and in the drawings are on the outside of the tank and specified to be renewed with the rest of the sounding tube to CUNI 90/10.

6 Tank Sounding Tube, Replace Para. 3.1.2 requires the tech rep to be on‐sitr for the disassembly, inspection, repair , modification, calibration and reassembly of the equipment. That said, does the CG expect the Tech Rep to be on‐site throughout the entire performance period of the work item?

Government will not require the tech to be onsite for disassembly with the substitution of properly documented functional test and CFR from section 3.3 . Tech will be onsite to verify and ensure compliance with all inspection, repair, modification, calibration, and reassembly of the equipment/system.
