• Maintain the integrity and reliability of fuel storage tank systems at Osan Air Base.

• Prevent fuel spills and releases and minimize their environmental impact.

• Provide timely and effective service to meet the operational needs of the Air Base.

• Minimize downtime and disruptions to Air Base operations.

1.4. Scope

This contract encompasses all ASTs, USTs, and day tanks at Osan Air Base. ASTs on this installation fall into three construction categories, each with distinct inspection standards:

(a) Convault/Concrete-Encased ASTs (majority of inventory): Shop-fabricated, double-walled steel tanks with a poured concrete exterior shell, listed to UL 2085 (Protected Aboveground Tanks for Flammable and Combustible

Liquids). These tanks incorporate integral secondary containment, fire resistance, ballistic resistance, and vehicle impact protection. Convault tanks include continuous electronic monitoring systems (interstitial leak detection, overfill prevention, liquid-level sensing) that require specialized inspection and diagnostic procedures. All Convault tanks shall be inspected IAW STI SP001 and UL 2085 maintenance requirements.

(b) Field-Erected ASTs: Carbon steel or stainless-steel tanks completed on-site during installation. Per UFC 3-460-

01, any AST with a capacity greater than 50,000 gallons is classified as a field-erected AST regardless of nameplate designation. Field-erected ASTs shall be inspected IAW API Standard 653 (Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and

Reconstruction) for periodic and formal inspections and shall conform to the design and construction requirements of

API Standard 650 (Welded Tanks for Oil Storage). STI SP001 may serve as a supplemental periodic inspection standard for field-erected tanks under 30 feet in diameter and less than 50 feet in height.

(c) Shop-Fabricated ASTs (non-Convault): Conventional single-wall or double-wall steel tanks manufactured off-site and delivered as complete units. These tanks shall be inspected IAW STI SP001.

The following tanks are classified as field-erected based on capacity and/or construction method:

Tank ID Location Capacity (Gal) Product Classification

OS-00935-H1G1 Bldg. 935 80,000 Diesel TBD

OS-00940-H1G1 Bldg. 940 52,000 TBD Field-Erected

OS-01702-H2G2 Bldg. 1702 32,000 TBD Shop-Fab/TBD

NOTE: OS-00935-H1G1 (Bldg. 935) is an 80,000-gallon diesel backup generator supply tank. This tank and any other field-erected tank identified in the current inventory or discovered during inspections shall be subject to API 650/653 requirements as specified in this PWS. Tank OS-01702-H2G2 (32,000 gal) is below the 50,000-gallon UFC 3-460-01 field-erected threshold; however, the Government reserves the right to classify it as field-erected based on physical construction characteristics upon inspection. The COR’s written determination of tank classification is final.

(d) Fireguard / Insulated-Steel UL-2085 ASTs: Shop-fabricated double-wall steel tanks with a lightweight monolithic thermal-insulation material in the interstitial space between the inner tank and outer steel jacket, listed to

UL 2085, providing integral secondary containment, 2-hour fire resistance, ballistic resistance, and vehicle-impact protection without a concrete shell. Inspected IAW STI SP001 and UL 2085, supplemented by manufacturer procedures.

(e) Underground Storage Tanks (USTs): Tanks with ten percent (10%) or more of their combined volume, including connected underground piping, beneath the surface of the ground, as defined at 40 CFR 280.12. USTs on this installation include steel and fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) single-wall and double-wall configurations serving vehicle fueling, fuel service, and POL reclamation functions. USTs are not within the scope of STI SP001, which applies to aboveground tank systems only. USTs shall instead be inspected, tested, and maintained in accordance with:

40 CFR Part 280, Subparts C and D, governing operation, maintenance, release detection, spill and overfill prevention, and corrosion protection; UFC 3-460-01 and DAFMAN 32-1067; PEI/RP900, Recommended Practices for the

Inspection and Maintenance of UST Systems, as the governing periodic inspection methodology; API RP 1615 and

API RP 1621 as applicable; NFPA 30, Chapter 23; and the Republic of Korea Soil Environment Conservation Act

( 토 양 환 경 보 전 법 ) administered by the Ministry of Environment and the Hazardous Materials Safety Management

Act ( 위 험 물 안 전 관 리 법 ) administered by the National Fire Agency, as implemented through the USFK

Environmental Governing Standards. UST scope includes the tank, underground piping, submersible turbine pumps, spill containment basins, overfill prevention devices, automatic tank gauging (ATG) equipment, release detection systems, sumps, and, where installed, impressed-current or sacrificial-anode cathodic protection systems. Cathodic protection systems on steel USTs shall be tested within six (6) months of installation or repair and at least every three

(3) years thereafter, and impressed-current systems shall be inspected every sixty (60) days for proper operation, in accordance with 40 CFR 280.31. Release detection shall be performed at least monthly in accordance with 40 CFR

280.41. Personnel performing UST testing shall hold the certifications required by applicable Federal and ROK law for the specific test being conducted; STI SP001 certification does not satisfy this requirement, and the Contractor shall identify separately the individual or subcontractor qualified to perform UST testing. Building 517 (OSAN

Express Gas, Facility 6310-1401-00) is subject to the additional UST system technical inspection and testing requirements of Section 6.4 of this PWS. All other USTs in the inventory are subject to the requirements of this paragraph and the monthly and annual inspection requirements of Section 6.2.

(f) Waste Oil, Used Oil, and Reclamation Tanks (All Construction Types): Tanks storing used oil, waste oil, reclaimed product, or recovered product constitute a regulatory classification rather than a construction classification, and occur across all construction types described in paragraphs (a) through (e), including aboveground and underground configurations. Each such tank shall be inspected in accordance with the standard applicable to its construction type as specified above, supplemented by the following requirements applicable to its contents: (1) Tanks storing used oil shall be managed in accordance with 40 CFR Part 279, Standards for the Management of Used Oil, including the labeling requirements of 40 CFR 279.22(c), which require containers and aboveground tanks to be labeled or marked clearly with the words “Used Oil.” (2) Tanks storing material determined to be hazardous waste under RCRA, USFKM 4715.05, or the Republic of Korea Wastes Control Act ( 폐 기 물 관 리 법 ) shall be managed as hazardous waste accumulation units in accordance with 40 CFR Parts 262 and 265 and Section 6.3.4 of this PWS, and are not eligible for management under 40 CFR Part 279. (3) All such tanks remain subject to the spill prevention, secondary containment, and integrity requirements of 40 CFR Part 112 and to the Republic of Korea Soil Environment

Conservation Act ( 토 양 환 경 보 전 법 ). (4) The Contractor shall report to the COR any tank whose contents or waste determination appears inconsistent with its labeling, permitted status, or the inventory record, within three (3) business days of discovery. The Contractor shall not make a waste determination on the Government’s behalf.

Polyethylene and Non-Metallic Tanks: Where a waste oil, used oil, reclamation, or other in-scope tank is of polyethylene, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP), or other non-metallic construction, STI SP001 does not apply, as that standard governs steel aboveground tank systems. Such tanks shall be inspected in accordance with the manufacturer’s published inspection and service-life criteria, supplemented by the applicable provisions of NFPA 30 and the monthly and annual inspection requirements of Section 6.2 of this PWS.

Inspection shall address, at minimum: ultraviolet degradation, chalking, crazing, discoloration, and embrittlement of the tank wall; deformation, bulging, or distortion; stress cracking at fittings, bungs, and mounting points; condition of the tank support or saddle; and integrity of secondary containment. Non-metallic tanks are not subject to cathodic protection or wall-thickness measurement requirements. The Contractor shall report to the COR any non-metallic tank exceeding the manufacturer’s published service life, or for which manufacturer criteria cannot be obtained, for

Government determination of a replacement or continued-service decision.

Additional inventory includes:

• Some waste POL tanks are located in the bulk fuel storage area (DLA-E). Waste oil, used oil, and reclamation tanks occurring throughout the installation are within scope and are addressed at paragraph (f) below.

• Excluded — Waste Chemical Tank OS-02402-W1 (Bldg. 2402): This 3,000-gallon waste chemical tank is expressly excluded from the scope of this contract. Its contents are subject to a hazardous waste determination under RCRA, USFKM 4715.05, and the Republic of Korea Wastes Control Act

1.5.1. Temporarily Out-of-Service (TTOS) Tank Requirements: Tanks that are temporarily taken out of service shall be managed in accordance with NFPA 30 Section 21.7.4 (Tanks Temporarily Taken Out of Service), NFPA 1

Section 66.21.7.4 (Tanks Temporarily Taken Out of Service), and IFC Section 5704.2.13.2 (Temporarily Out-of-

Service Aboveground Tanks). The Contractor shall comply with the following requirements for all TTOS tanks:

(a) Notification and Status Change: The Contractor shall not change the operational status of any tank (active to TTOS, TTOS to active, or TTOS to permanently closed) without prior written authorization from the

Contracting Officer. Upon Government direction to take a tank temporarily out of service, the Contractor shall update the tank’s status in STAR within 3 business days and notify the COR in writing confirming the status change and effective date.

(b) TTOS Safeguarding Requirements (NFPA 30 Section 21.7.4, IFC 5704.2.13.2): For ASTs temporarily taken out of service, the Contractor shall: (i) cap or plug all fill openings and gauge openings to prevent vapor release, rainwater intrusion, and unauthorized access; (ii) maintain the normal venting system in an operational condition to prevent vacuum or pressure buildup; (iii) maintain all leak detection, overfill prevention, and monitoring systems in operational condition unless the tank has been fully cleaned, purged, and certified gas-free; (iv) maintain secondary containment in serviceable condition; (v) maintain all fire protection systems and devices (fire valves, shear valves, fusible links) in operational condition; and (vi) post signage at the tank indicating “TEMPORARILY OUT OF SERVICE — DO NOT FILL” in both English and Korean (“임시 사용 중지 — 주유 금지”), visible from all fill point approach directions.

(c) Continued Inspection Requirements: TTOS tanks shall continue to receive monthly inspections using the applicable baseline and supplemental checklist items. The monthly inspection shall specifically verify that all TTOS safeguarding requirements in Para 1.5.1(b) above remain in compliance. Any deterioration of TTOS safeguarding conditions shall be annotated on the inspection sheet and reported to the COR within 24 hours.

(d) TTOS Duration Limitations: Per NFPA 30 Section 21.7.4 and IFC 5704.2.13.2, a tank shall not remain in

TTOS status for more than 12 consecutive months. The Contractor shall notify the COR in writing not less than 90 calendar days prior to the expiration of the 12-month TTOS period. If the Government does not provide written direction to either return the tank to active service or permanently close the tank prior to the

12-month deadline, the Contractor shall escalate notification to the Contracting Officer. A tank that has been in TTOS status for more than 12 months without written Government direction constitutes a regulatory non-compliance that shall be documented in the monthly inspection report.

(e) Return to Service from TTOS: The Contractor shall not recommission any TTOS tank without written

Contracting Officer authorization. Prior to returning a TTOS tank to active service, the Contractor shall: (i) perform a comprehensive annual-level inspection of the tank and all associated systems; (ii) verify all monitoring, leak detection, overfill prevention, and fire protection systems are fully operational; (iii) remove all TTOS signage; (iv) update the tank status in STAR; and (v) submit an inspection report to the COR confirming the tank is safe and compliant for return to active service. The return-to-service inspection shall be performed at no additional cost to the Government if the tank was in TTOS status for less than 90 days;

tanks in TTOS status for 90 days or more shall require a return-to-service inspection under the repair CLIN.
