(b) TESTING. The tests identified in this solicitation attachment entitled MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR STORAGE SAMPLING AND TESTING are a required part of the services to be provided. Those tests identified in the attachment which are part of a higher order analysis (defined as follows: Composite Samples, Storage Tanks After Receipt, Interface Mixture, Dormant Stocks, and Individual Tests, including particulate contamination) shall be provided by the Contractor using one of the following options (the Contractor shall check the appropriate box below):

[ ] The Contractor will perform the tests using its own qualified personnel, facilities, and equipment. (All costs for this service are to be included in the monthly service charge.)

[ ] The Contractor will not perform the tests using its own personnel, but will provide on a seven days per week, 24 hours a day basis, it’s own facilities and equipment for testing of product by Government personnel. (All costs for this service are to be included in the monthly service charge.)

[ ] The Contractor will not provide its own personnel, facilities, or equipment. Instead, the Contractor will, within 24 hours after sampling, transport any sample(s) to a commercial laboratory approved by the Government and arrange for that commercial laboratory to perform all the required tests. The Government, at its own option, may direct that samples be tested at a Government laboratory under contract to the Government. In this case, transport of such samples is still the responsibility of the Contractor. (The Government will reimburse the Contractor for the actual costs of the tests performed by their commercial laboratory. All other associated costs must be included in the monthly service charge.)

All other tests found in the above referenced attachment, which are not part of a higher order analysis, shall be provided in accordance with the CONTRACTOR INSPECTION RESPONSIBILITIES (STORAGE) clause.

(c) All facilities and equipment to be provided, whether that of a Contractor or a commercial laboratory, must conform to the standards for such facilities and equipment established by the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the National Fire Protection Association or local regulations, whichever is more stringent.

INT-E28 CONTRACTOR INSPECTION RESPONSIBILITIES (STORAGE) (DLA ENERGY OCT

2002)

(a) Inspection and tests by the Government of services, facilities, and equipment specified within this contract does not relieve the Contractor from responsibility to meet all requirements of the contract.

(b) The Contractor shall furnish personnel, facilities, and equipment on-site to accomplish the following routine tests and procedures. These on-site resources may be provided by Contractor personnel or by a commercial source action on behalf of the Contractor.

The Quality Representative will not be responsible for performing any of these services for the Contractor.

(1) Sampling of storage tanks, shipments and receipts in accordance with ASTM D 4057, Standard Practice for Manual Sampling of Petroleum and Petroleum Products (API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (MPMS), Chapter 8.1);

(2) Retaining of product composite samples from shipments and receipts as follows:

MINIMUM

METHOD OF SHIPMENT MINIMUM QUANTITY RETENTION PERIOD

Pipeline 20 liters 60 days

Tanker/Barge Parcel Composite 20 liters 90 days Each compartment 0.5 liters 90 days

Navy Fleet Oilers/Vessels 10 liters 60 days

Tank Truck/Car 1 liter 15 days

NOTE: After the minimum retention period, samples shall be tested for Appearance, Color (Visual), API Gravity/Density and Flash Point and, if found to be on-specification, shall be returned to like Government stock on-site. Sample containers may be reused if properly cleaned.

(3) Determining the presence of water in storage tanks, shipments and receipts. Ensure that accurate water cuts are obtained by means of a water indicating paste conforming to MIL-W-83779B. Two suggested sources are Stewart Hall Chemical Testmaster Water Indicating Paste or Sartomer Sar Gel Water Indicating Paste (see Note 2 below);

(4) Determining Density at 15 degrees Celsius or API gravity of products by ASTM D 1298 or ASTM D 4052 (see Note 2 below);

(5) Determining the temperature of products by the API MPMS, Chapter 7 (see Note 2 below);

(6) Determining the Appearance of applicable products using ASTM D 4176, Procedure 1 (see Note 2 below);

(7) Determining the visual color of products.

(8) Determining the Flash Point of applicable products using test methods cited in the appropriate product specification (see Note 2 below);

(9) Conversion of gross to net gallonage (liters);

(10) Determining the percentage (volume) of fuel system icing inhibitor (FSII) by means of a portable refractometer in accordance with ASTM D 5006. One suggested source is H.B. Industries, Inc., Glenview, IL 60025 (B/2 Anti-Icing Additive test kit) (see Note 2 below); and

(11) Determining the range of fuel electrical conductivity using ASTM D 2624. One suggested source for a conductivity meter is Emcee Electronics, Inc., Sarasota, FL 33581 (Model 1152) (see Note 2 below).

Note 1: All costs for providing the above tests and procedures shall be included in the monthly service charge. The only exception to the Contractor’s obligation to provide these services as part of the monthly service charge is when the tests described above are part of the higher order analysis (defined as the following categories: Composite Samples, Storage Tanks After Receipt, Interface Mixtures, Dormant Stocks and Individual Tests (including particulate contamination) found in the attachment to the solicitations entitled MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR STORAGE SAMPLING AND TESTING. Provisions for providing higher order analyses are covered in the SAMPLING AND TESTING OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS (STORAGE) clause.

Note 2: Upon request, the Contractor shall permit the Quality Representative unrestricted use of the equipment and ancillary supplies needed to perform this test/procedure on behalf of the Government.

(c) During the contract, the Contractor shall furnish representative samples of the product in each storage tank, shipment or receipt at the request of, and in the manner and to the place designated by, the Quality Representative. Sample size will be 2 gallons for gasoline-type fuels and one gallon or 10 gallons for jet diesel-type fuels. The number of samples to be furnished during any 12-month period shall not exceed eight times the number of tanks specified in the contract. Such samples shall be packed, marked, and shipped by the Contractor, shipping expense prepaid, in containers and shipping boxes furnished by the Contractor. Sample containers shall be epoxy coated on the interior. This requirement is in addition to sampling required elsewhere in this clause and the contract. All reasonable direct shipping costs associated with samples required by this paragraph shall be reimbursed upon request from the Contractor and such costs shall not be included in the monthly service charge. However, all other costs related to this requirement shall be included as part of the monthly service charge.

INT-E34 TEST FOR SULFIDES IN WATER (DLA ENERGY MAY 1987)

(a) SCOPE. This method describes a procedure for determining the presence of hydrogen sulfide, which is sometimes formed as a result of bacterial action on the sulfates contained in water bottoms in fuel storage tanks.

(b) APPARATUS. 250 ml conical flask.

(c) MATERIALS.

(1) Dilute (10%) chemically pure sulfuric or hydrochloric acid.

(2) Lead acetate paper.

(d) SAMPLES. Representative water samples from storage tank bottoms must be taken in a glass bottle. In some cases it will be necessary to take the water sample in a Bacon bomb sampler. Samples so taken will always be transferred to a glass bottle. To preclude oxidation by air, the filled bottle must be capped immediately. The sample should be tested as soon as possible after sampling to minimize possible changes in the composition of materials in the water.

(e) PROCEDURE.

(1) The sample must be shaken thoroughly just prior to performing the test to make certain that any sediment present is included in the portion of the sample to be tested.

(2) Transfer 100 ml of the shaken sample into a conical flask. Add 20 ml of dilute (10%) chemically pure sulfuric or hydrochloric acid to the flask. Immediately place a piece of lead acetate paper folded in a "V" shape in the neck of the flask. Bring the water to a boil and continue to gently boil for three or four minutes.

(f) REPORT. The presence of sulfides in the sample will be…
