SIZE STANDARD: $45.0 M

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The existing above ground storage tanks fuel storage tanks (ASTs) are double walled tanks. There are three tanks total, two 2,000-gallon unleaded fuel tanks and one 2,000-gallon diesel tank. The two unleaded tanks serve two dispensers in the middle of the maintenance area connected by underground piping. The diesel tank has its own on-tank fuel dispenser. The fuel system components are well past their design life and failures are occurring. Replacement parts are not available due to the age of the system. Failure of any of the three pumps will result in an extended outage. The communication system currently communicates through a modem which is also outdated. The contractor shall:

The fuel systems are an integral part of the Park’s infrastructure. The fuel pumps service all the fleet vehicles which support all elements of park operations which include, maintenance, emergency services, resource and visitor protection, and resource management. Having use of on-site fuel systems eliminate the commute required to obtain fuel from Naples or Vernal and creates efficiencies in the use of employees’ time, providing less time for planning and commuting outside of the parks for fuel and more time toward their duties.
