1.01 SUMMARY OF WORK

A.All work described in these Construction Documents, and all work necessary to completely finish the work as described or shown is to be executed in a thoroughly substantial and workmanlike manner. All work shall be done by persons who are thoroughly experienced in the installation of Propane Autogas Dispenser systems.
B.The Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Milan, MI requires the installation of a 4,000 (two 2,000 gallon tanks) gallon propane auto gas/container filling station to be installed in the south parking lot of the Garage. This new propane system will replace an existing 2,000 gallon currently installed.

C. The staging of materials, maintaining a way to fuel vehicles during construction, and contractor access to this project is a major part of maintaining the security of the institution. Due to the different processes, potentially inclement weather, and equipment involved, a pre-bid meeting with FCI Milan Facilities and Correctional Services staff will be arranged to discuss these topics. Due to these security issues a prior site visit is recommended.
