1. The generator vendors all state the 500-gallon tank will not run the generator for 72 hours. They recommend adding an additional tank or supplying a subbase tank underneath the enclosure/framework that will run the generator for 72 hours. Is the existing fuel tank a double-wall tank?

Existing fuel tank is a double-wall tank (Core ES Convault RN 500 2SF). Base has decided to re-use existing tank and forgo the 72-hour run standard. No new additional tank or belly tank is required.

2. Is there any existing supply and return fuel pumping mechanism with the existing tank?

Fuel pumps are in the existing generator enclosure and not on the tank per shops. Tank just has the plumbing.

3. What condition is the existing fuel tank in? (Should we be worried about sediment contamination in a brand-new generator’s fuel system?)

Tank is regularly inspected and is in good condition per shops. Sediment should not be an issue but contractor to coordinate tank work with shops. Shops should flush tank for contractor.

4. Is the engineer/base set on keeping the existing fuel tank in place? (Would a subbase tank capable of 72-hour runtime beneath the generator’s enclosure be accepted?) i. If a subbase fuel tank that will run the generator for 72 hours is accepted, will the base want the existing 500-gallon tank removed or abandoned in place?

See answer to question 1.

5. Will the electrical contractor be required to fill the new or existing fuel tanks?

Yes, contractor to fill up existing tank with diesel fuel.

6. Is the base keeping the existing generator? i. If so, where will it be stored and who is responsible for getting it to the storage location?

Base is not keeping existing generator. Contractor to demolish and dispose of existing generator.

7. Will there be any costs associated with badging?

No, there is no cost for obtaining a visitor’s pass.

8. Will all employees be required to have a badge or can a badged employee escort others?

Each employee is required to have their own pass. Please reference: 3.12.2 of the SOW for information needed when requesting a pass.

9. Will material suppliers be allowed to be escorted by the contractor into the site?

Any deliveries will proceed to the commercial gate. The driver will be required to have a work order/invoice stating Keesler AFB as the ship to address along with driver’s license, registration, and insurance. We recommend letting us know 1-2 days before a delivery is made so that we may inform the commercial gate and expedite the process.
