1. Has any geotechnical testing been conducted in the areas of the new tank foundations and if so can the reports be provided to the contractor?

CLARIFICATION: No geotechnical testing has been conducted.

2. Will any consideration be made to relocate the location of the proposed aboveground heating oil tank piping to avoid conflict with the existing underground communication lines?

CLARIFICATION: The Government will allow the contractor to slightly adjust the routing of over-head exterior heating oil tank piping and support posts to avoid potential conflict with existing underground signal and electrical lines and manholes. Such adjusted locations must be approved by the FBOP.

3. The design plans call for the installation of new 4-inch protective pipe bollards around the new storage tanks. Labor and Industry Combustible and Flammable Liquids regulations require the installation of 6-inch bollards.

Should the contractor assume that 6-inch bollards will be installed pursuant to the regulations?

CLARIFICATION: 4-inch bollards are to be installed as called for in the design plan. This conforms to NFPA regulations.

4. The specifications call for manual gauging ports to be installed on the tanks however there is only stairway and platform access for the heating oil tank that provide access to the tank manway. Please clarify.

CLARIFICATION: Manual gauging ports to be installed on the tanks. The FBOP will install stairway and platform access as needed at a later date.

1. In the specification document for this project under Section 01 10 Part 1 in the General Requirements, under 1.02 item E, it states that the contractor shall have licenses for all aspects of the work to be performed. It goes on to say that “bidders shall not subcontract work that requires certification.” We have licensing for the items stated in this part, however we need to know if we can subcontract other parts of the work as long as our license holder is on-site supervising work at all times.

CLARIFICATION - The contractor (company) which is performing the aboveground tank installation at FCC Allenwood shall hold a Company Certification Certificate issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), which authorizes the company to employ certified tank installers and/or inspectors. Prior to any work being performed under this contract, the company shall be listed on the DEP list of “Certified Storage Tank Companies”. The list can be accessed on-line at:

In addition, the contractor shall employ an individual to oversee the project who holds a current certification issued by DEP which authorizes the individual to conduct the installation of aboveground storage tanks. The certified individual must be an employee of the contractor, not a sub-contractor.
