STATEMENT OF WORK/SPECIFICATIONS

FCI MCKEAN – PROJECT 2A5U

REMOVE/INSTALL FUEL SYSTEM

I. SPECIFICATIONS:

INTRODUCTION

The Contractor shall provide all necessary labor, tools, equipment and materials required to Remove/ Install Fuel System located at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) McKean, 6975 Route 59, Lewis Run, Pennsylvania, 16738.

The contractor and/or subcontractor who is performing the work shall be listed with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as a Certified Tank Handler who is certified to install and excavate storage tanks. Prior to any work being performed under this contract, the contractor and/or subcontractor who is performing the work must be listed on the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) list “Certified Tank Handler Companies” (2630-BK- DEP2093). The list can be located at:

http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/installer_inspector_certification/20602.

BACKGROUND

FCI McKean is a medium security prison compound that houses male inmates. The facility is located in northwest Pennsylvania off Route 59. Approximately 200 feet northeast of the facility, outside the secure containment of the compound, is a powerhouse containing boilers which generate hot water for the facility.

Three underground storage tanks (UST), UST-2, UST-3 and UST-4, are located in a UST field northwest of the powerhouse. A fourth UST (UST-1) is located west of the powerhouse near the vehicular fueling island in an isolated area. UST-1 is not within the UST field. The USTs have the following capacities/contents: UST-1, 20,000 gallon/ unleaded gasoline; UST-2, 15,000 gallon/ #2 fuel oil; UST-3, 20,000 gallon/ #2 fuel oil and UST- 4, 25,000 gallon/ diesel. All four USTs are currently out of service and have been emptied to the extent possible. UST-1 and UST-4 stored fuel for institution vehicles and are registered with Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) as Tank 001 and Tank 002, respectively. UST-2 and UST-3 contained #2 fuel oil (heating oil) for consumptive use on site and were exempt from regulation by PADEP The UST’s are single-wall fiberglass tanks installed approximately 24 years ago. There are currently two distribution pumps, one diesel and one gasoline, used for refueling vehicles and equipment. With most of the product out of the UST’s these units are not currently in operation.

GEOLOGY, SOILS, SURFACE WATER, AND WETLANDS

According to the map of Physiographic Provinces of Pennsylvania, FCI McKean is located within the High Plateau Section of the Appalachian Plateau Province. Site bedrock geology consists of the Pottsville formation which is Pennsylvania-age sandstone with inter-beds of conglomerate, shale, siltstone, clay stone, limestone, and coal. The nearest stream is Wintergreen Run located about 1000’ southwest of the site. According to Federal Wetlands Map, the site is not located within designated wetlands.

SCOPE OF WORK

UST Removal (PHASE I):

1. Contractor is responsible for the required notification to Pennsylvania One Call System. Notification shall be not less than three business days nor more than ten business days in advance of beginning excavation activities.

2. Removal and disposal of one (1) 25,000 gallon diesel UST.

http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/installer_inspector_certification/20602

3. Removal and disposal of one (1) 20,000 gallon #2 fuel oil UST.

4. Removal and disposal of one (1) 15,000 gallon #2 fuel oil UST.

5. Removal and disposal of one (1) 20,000 gallon unleaded gasoline UST.

6. Removal and disposal of one (1) diesel dispensing pump.

7. Removal and disposal of one (1) unleaded gasoline dispensing pump.

8. Removal and disposal of all underground piping associated with the USTs and fuel dispensing system.

9. Removal and disposal of the existing fuel dispensing island.

10. Removal of existing Veeder Root System that monitors the four existing USTs.

11. Tanks and associated piping must be empty and clean prior to excavation. Contractor will ensure through adequate testing of tank interior that no hazardous or flammable vapors are present prior to tank excavation. Contractor will provide a written copy of the intended plan for cleaning of tanks and piping, which also addresses proper on-site management of removed tank liquids and sludges. Waste from clean-out of UST-2 (#2 fuel oil), UST-3 (#2 fuel oil) and UST-4 (diesel) will likely be classified as residual waste and must be managed in accordance with PA residual waste regulations (25 Pa Code Chapters 287-299). Waste from clean-out of UST-1 (gasoline) may be classified as RCRA hazardous waste and must be managed in accordance with PA hazardous waste regulations. Contractor is responsible for proper disposal off-site of waste generated during clean-out of USTs, estimated to include up to six (6) 55-gallon drums of tank contents (sludge) and approximately 8,500 gallons of fuel oil/groundwater from UST-2 (ruptured #2 fuel oil tank).

12. Contractor is responsible for proper off-site management of old piping, tanks and related equipment. If metal is to be disposed it must be managed as residual waste. Contractor will provide written documentation of final disposition of metal and of proper handling and shipping.

13. Contractor will segregate excavated material: uncontaminated soil, contaminated soil, asphalt/concrete, piping/tanks. Contractor will provide written copy of the intended plan for determining whether soil is contaminated. Uncontaminated soil may be placed back into the excavation as backfill provided it meets the standards for reuse of soil on-site (statewide standards) as described in PADEP “Closure Requirements for Underground Storage Tank Systems.”

14. A significant release of #2 fuel oil was confirmed from UST-2. It is likely soil and/or groundwater contaminated with #2 fuel oil will be encountered during excavation of UST-2, UST-3, UST-4, which are located side-by-side in a common tank field. Soil contaminated with #2 fuel oil is regulated as residual waste and must be managed in accordance with PA residual waste regulations (25 Pa Code Chapters 287-299). Contractor is responsible for excavation, appropriate management on-site and arrangements for proper disposal off-site for contaminated soil. It is estimated approximately 320 cubic yards of contaminated soil will be generated during the excavation.

15. Contractor will prepare PADEP Underground Storage Tank System Closure Report Form, Section II.

Tank Handling Information for the two PADEP regulated tanks, i.e., UST-1 and UST-4.

16. Contractor will provide backfill and compact the areas where the USTs were previously situated. Place a minimum of 6 inches of clean topsoil in the same areas and grass seed. Place 15 cubic yards of coarse gravel as backfill in the west end of the excavation for UST-2. Gravel is to be placed in a six foot layer approximately 11 to 17 feet below ground surface and extending approximately ten feet in the north-south direction and six feet in the east-west direction.

17. Contractor must have a written site-specific Health and Safety Plan which complies with applicable requirements of Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).

18. Contractor shall comply with federal and state closure requirements for regulated underground storage tanks. Minimum standards which must be met are outlined in the PADEP guidance “Closure Requirements for Underground Storage Tank Systems.”

19. Contractor shall provide copies of waste characterization and disposal records and shipping manifests to document proper off-site management of all waste streams including, but not limited to: piping, tanks, contaminated soil, removed tank sludge and clean-out waste
