Bid 2024-02 Fuel Tank Replacement Project

Questions received:

1. On pages 97-98 of the specs, paragraph 1.2 (A): the “project work” section discusses ADA-compliant ramps, crosswalks, restrooms, etc. Does the fuel tank replacement project include these items?

a. This is a misprint and was inadvertently included from a different project. This information can be disregarded, and the spec pages will be reissued with the correct information.

2. Drawing C-100 references a 600 Gallon Gasoline Tank & 2500 Gallon Diesel Tank.

However, drawings M100 and E100 reference a 1000 Gallon Gasoline Tank & 2500

Gallon Diesel Tank. Please confirm tank sizes for both fuel types.

a. The existing tanks are 2500-gallon gasoline and 600-gallon diesel. During an on-site meeting, were asked to provide 2500-gallon gasoline and 1000-gallon diesel. We will coordinate with the team to ensure this is corrected across all drawings.

3. Drawing reference rectangular tanks and written specs reference cylindrical tanks.

Please confirm which style tank should be used for both fuel types.

a. Cylindrical tanks will be specified.

4. Does this project require remote fills or tank mounted fills?

a. Fill lines will be tank mounted.

5. Does this project require stairs for either tank?

a. No stairs required.

6. Drawing E101 Electrical Schematic shows a heater in the diesel tank. Please confirm that this was intended and correct.

a. There shall be no heater, E101 has been updated to remove this.

7. Is the contractor responsible for permitting with Conservation Committee, EPA, etc.

regarding the work area, even if outside of the 100’ buffer zone?

a. Work outside the 100-foot buffer zone can occur upon contract acceptance by the Owner, as it is not within the Brockton Conservation Commission’s jurisdiction. A Request for Determination of Applicability (RDA) with the Brockton

Conservation Commission hearing is anticipated in November for the proposed work within the 100-foot buffer zone. Upon a Negative Determination by the

Commission, work can be performed within the 100' buffer with no conditional requirements issued by them. As the project will not disturb more than one (1) acre of land, no NPDES or other permitting with the EPA is anticipated.
