There appears to be a phasing discrepency for the number of bulk tanks that can be brought out of service at any given time.

Section 01 14 00.05 20 implies that only the ready fuel tanks have a restriction that only one can be out of service at any given time, and that up to two bulk fuel tanks can be out of service at any given time. However, Part 3 Page 17 explicitly states that only one bulk tank can be out of service at a time.

Please clarify.

See Part 2, 01 14 00.05 20, 1.3a

No more than one bulk tank can be out of service at any given time.

13.13, 2.2.2.9

This Section requires two or more 3/16-inch diameter ground cables on the floating pan. Is a 1/8-inch cable permissible? A 1/8-inch diameter stainless steel cable that has a preset cast and helix. This causes the cable to spool on the top of the roof as it rises on the product. A larger diameter cable would cause a much larger spool to form on top of the roof. The larger spool increases the possibility that the cables can become tangled with the floating roof support legs and cause damage to the roof when the product level is lowered.

No, follow applicable specification.

320 Page 17, POL RFP SOW Part 3, Ch. 6, Scheduling

The tank SOW sequencing has changed from two bulk tanks & one ready tank; to one of each out of service at a time. Our initial assessment of the tasks & SOW indicates that completion of the project within 365 days from award of contract will be almost impossible to perform safely under the current working hours and tank availability. Can the working hours be adjusted to a six ten-hour day work week? Can more than one bulk tank be available at one time? Can the period of performance be extended to longer than 365 days to allow safe performance of the work?

See Part 2, Specification 01 14 00.05 20 1.4.4 Work Outside Regular Hours.

No more than one bulk tank can be out of service at any given time.

321 POL RFP SOW

Part 3, Ch. 6 Tank 1: 5)

The SOW requires an 8” stilling well to be installed in an 8” roof nozzle. The normal configuration for an 8” aluminum stilling well is to slide in a 10”carbon steel roof nozzle with a flange on the end of the stilling well that stacks on the nozzle flange with identical bolt holes. Because the stilling well is aluminum, it should not be welded directly to the roof nozzle, which is carbon steel. Should the proposal use an 8” aluminum stilling well and replace the existing 8” carbon steel roof nozzle with a new 10” roof nozzle, or should the proposal use a 6” aluminum stilling well to fit inside the existing 8” carbon steel roof nozzle?

Proposal shall included an 8" stilling well installed in a new 10" steel nozzle. Exact locations and other details will need to be figured during the tank inspections.

322 POL RFP SOW

Part 3, Ch. 6 Tank 2: 9)

The SOW calls for new “bearing plates” to be installed under the internal pipe supports in each tank. On a true “bearing plate”, the pipe supports would rest on top of the bearing plate, but not be welded to the bearing plate. Clips would have to be provided to hold the pipe supports in place. Is the intent of the SOW to provide reinforcing pads under the pipe supports?

Yes, reinforcing plates shall be installed as sited in RFP and should be completed seal welded and be in accordance to API 653.

323 POL RFP SOW

Part 3, Ch. 6 Tank 2: 14)

Per observations made during the site walk, it appears that the pilot to the control valve on each tank is attached to the shell of the tank with threaded fittings. Are those threaded fittings flush with the inner surface of the tank shell, or do they extend into the tank?

Unknown.

If we provide sufficient detail that the government can clearly evaluate our pricing, can the requirement for the 4330-43 be removed? If not, will the government allow us to lump all of our subcontractors together on the 4330-43 and remove the requirement for a separate 4330-43 for each subcontractor?

Refer to revised NAVFAC FORM 4330-43, Direct Subcontractor Totals (L64) changed FROM "The Subcontractor Items of Work schedule, above, should be completed for each separate subcontractor and included in the offeror's price proposal" TO "The final awardee will be requred to complete and submit the Subcontractor schedule, above, for each separate subcontractor included in the awardee's price proposal".

337 Seed Project Part 3 – Project Program, Chapter 6, Para 4

External coating repairs include removal of existing coating and recoat of entire exterior to include tank shell, roof, appurtenances and stairways. Observation: Existing stairways have galvanized stair treads and hardware that appear in good condition. Given this, removal of the galvanized surface in lieu of the specified coating may diminish corrosion protection over the existing galvanized application (when applied to stair tread grating with extensive corner and edge area). Question: Is the contractor to sandblast remove existing galvanized surfaces, to include tread grating, and recoat per the specification?

Galvanized, alumium, and stainless steel surfaces shall NOT be blasted and/or coated.

338 Seed Project Part 3 – Project Program, Chapter 6, Para

Newly applied internal coatings will require uninterrupted dehumidification 24 hours a day for four (4) days as part of the curing process. Since site access work hours are 0600-1430, will contractor personnel be allowed 24 hour site access to provide oversight and equipment monitoring / refueling during the dehumidification and curing process? Is the contractor required to be on site to monitor generators /DH equipment during non-working hours? Or will facility personnel monitor equipment overnight/non-working hours?

See Part 2 Specification 01 14 00.05 20 1.4.4 Work Outside Regular Hours.

Government will not monitor Contractor equipment.

339 Seed Project, General Question

Is it a contract requirement to have a full time SSHO/Safety Officer at both tank sites (bulk and ready ) locations during all construction activities, (total of two SSHO)?

Refer to Part 2 01 30 00.05 20 1.5 Supervision

Refer to Part 2 01 45 00.05 20 1.4 QC Organization

The term "work site" shall mean Bulk Storage or Ready Issue and includes associated piping, fire suppression system, and secondary containment.

There are two work sites. If work is occuring at both sites, it would be necesary to have two seperate SSHOs, one at each site.

There appears to be a phasing discrepency for the number of bulk tanks that can be brought out of service at any given time.

Section 01 14 00.05 20 implies that only the ready fuel tanks have a restriction that only one can be out of service at any given time, and that up to two bulk fuel tanks can be out of service at any given time. However, Part 3 Page 17 explicitly states that only one bulk tank can be out of service at a time.

Please clarify.

No more than one bulk tank can be out of service at any given time.
