C-2.3 ANCILLARY FACILITIES:

C-2.3.1 Storage Tanks and Facilities: The storage tanks and facilities must meet the minimum requirements of the current API standards, the NFPA codes, and all laws, regulations, etc., applicable to tanks and facilities of the type to be provided.

however, the Government recognizes jurisdiction of the Port Everglades Department of Boward County, FL, and that the Contractor's liability with regard to maintenance of desired berth and draft is limited to his "good faith" effort in advocating the Government's desired specifications before the port authority. Regardless, the Contractor shall provide fuel handling lines from the dock, or pier, through the manifold to the tanks at a receiving rate not less than 8,000 barrels per hour for tankers and 2,000 barrels per hour for barges.

Suspected off-specification product will be isolated and shall not be released for shipment until authorized by the Contracting Officer or the QAR/COR.

C-2.4.4 Quality Control Plan: The Quality Control Plan (QCP) shall provide comprehensive and detailed step-by-step procedures covering all requirements in clause E1.11, QUALITY CONTROL PLAN (Attachment 3 Minimum Requirements for Storage Sampling and Testing). Following contract award, the Contractor shall have 30 days to submit the detailed plan to the QAR/COR and Contracting Officer for review and acceptance. Written procedures must be clear and concise as to: what is done, where it's done, when it's done, how it's done, and who (position) does it. They must describe, in proper sequence, how contract compliance is achieved. For example:

receipt of additives prior to blending, blending before sampling, sampling before testing, testing before release of product for shipment, etc.

They must describe (and include) only those functions pertinent to contract performance and compliance. They must be reviewed upon initial and succeeding contract awards to assure the technical and procedural requirements are adequately described. They must be dynamic (i.e., modified or extended as changes in technical or procedural requirements occur).

C-2.4.5 Sampling and Testing: The Contractor shall sample and test in accordance with clause C19.07, SAMPLING AND TESTING OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS. Calibration of testing equipment required under the provisions of this contract shall be covered in the Quality Control Plan (QCP).

Individuals performing product quality testing shall be properly trained and qualified. If a commercial laboratory is used the Contractor shall report any non-responsiveness to the QAR/COR immediately for resolution. All laboratory reports shall be reviewed and kept on file to ensure compliance with specification requirements.

C-2.4.6 Quality During Shipments General: General loading conditions for tank trucks, tank cars, tankers and barges shall be in accordance with clause F1.05, GENERAL SHIPPING CONDITIONS. Written procedures shall be in place for product movement and related quality/quantity checks from shipping tank(s) to conveyance in order to maintain product integrity. The QCP shall provide a description of procedures to use for transfer system from shipping tank to conveyance in order to maintain product integrity, including but not limited to, procedures for properly isolating loading system from shipping tank to conveyance to prevent contamination.

C-2.4.6.1 Tank Trucks: Inspect conveyances prior to loading to determine quality/quantity suitability to load as follows: All compartments have been prepared in accordance with Table I, CONVERSION CHART FOR TANK TRUCKS. Preparation requirements shall include hoses. Conveyances will be dry and substantially free from loose rust, scale and dirt. Establish criteria for rejection of empty tank trucks to load and for loaded tank trucks. List causes for rejection. Establish procedures to confirm, prior to loading, quality and quantity of product in conveyance when requested by the ordering office to "load on top."
