STATEMENT OF WORK

Clean and Inspect B1575 Underground Storage Tank

Scott Air Force Base, IL 6 July 2022

1. BACKGROUND: Bldg.1575 diesel steel underground storage tank (UST) has been in service for over 30 years without any in depth tank inspection to include cleaning. After taking a fuel sample, it was determined that the fuel in the tank was severely degraded and the amount of contaminates in the fuel was too great to be cleaned utilizing in-house fuel polishing equipment. It was determined that the fuel and tank needs to be cleaned and thoroughly inspected.

2. OBJECTIVE: The fuel in the tank must be cleaned to remove entrained contaminates, the tank thoroughly cleaned, and internally inspected using ultra-sonic thickness testing (UTT) technology. The contractor shall provide all tools, supplies, equipment, labor, and management to meet the requirements of the objective in a manner that will ensure its serviceability and operability.

3. PROJECT SCOPE: The following work will be accomplished.

A. Contractor shall be licensed with the State of Illinois Fire Marshal to conduct

ii. Supply an 8,000-gallon tank in order to hold the remaining product from the UST during tank cleaning and inspection process.

iii. Once the cleaning and inspection has been completed, the fuel from the tank will be processed through a filtering and de-watering equipment before being placed back in to the tank.

• Contractor shall provide before and after fuel samples to prove fuel filtering effectiveness.

iv. Reassemble piping, valves, and tank monitoring equipment above man way.

v. Upon completion, ensure tank is in full working order and meets all safety and environmental specifications for USTs.
