Description of Government-Owned LN2 Tanks:

LN2 shall be delivered into the following Government-owned storage vessels listed below. The storage vessels will be trailer accessible.

Fill Line Restriction Orifice: If it is determined during supplier site visits or upon review of Customer tank technical information, that additional tank over-pressure protection is required to comply with CGA P-59, Prevention of Over-Pressure during Filling of Cryogenic Vessels, the Contractor shall identify the deficiency to the designated Customer representative(s) for implementation of corrective action. The Contractor may be requested to provide and install the additional tank protection, which may encompass any of the methods identified in the P-59. NOTE: Over-pressure protection devices shall not be installed on Customer-owned storage tanks without prior coordination with DLA Energy Contracting Officer and the activity that physically possesses the tank(s).

Tank Hot Fill: Occasionally, the Contractor may be required to perform a “Hot Fill” in order to cool-down and refill any tank that has gone empty and is warm.

Contractor Equipment and Service Requirements for GN2 Conversion Facility: The LN2 is converted to GN2, compressed and delivered through an existing Government owned, 1 inch GN2 pipeline system. Approximate length of the pipeline is 12 miles. The system shall be monitored daily by an on-site Contractor representative, Monday-Friday, 0700-1600 hours, and on rare occasions on weekends. Monitoring the system includes reading and interpreting various system flow instrumentation and making pressure and flow adjustments as required to support GN2 pipeline flow requirements. Contractor operator may be required to work overtime to include extended weekday shifts and possibly weekends to support emergency and priority demands. The requirement to operate the GN2 facility beyond the normal 0700-1600 hours, Monday-Friday is expected to be about 600 hours per year and may exceed this estimate depending on the emergency and priority demands.

The Contractor shall provide one liquid pump assembly for backup of the GN2 conversion system at the GN2 Conversion Facility to assure continuous uninterrupted supply. The Contractor supplied pump must be equal in capabilities to existing on-site Government pumps which are manufactured by Nikkiso Cryogenics Industries with part number 15320-10 and serial numbers 134061 and 131561, three piston type with flow rate of 14.6 gallons per minute. The backup system is required to be operable within 4 hours of Government pump failure. The cost for install and removal of pumps will be included in the Monthly Facility Fee. The Contractor shall operate the high pressure GN2 system and provide uninterrupted supply of GN2 to the existing Air Force high-pressure pipeline at Edwards AFB. Comment by Mayfield, Alex M CIV DLA ENERGY (USA): equal

Inspection and Acceptance: Inspection for quality shall be performed at origin. Quantity determination and acceptance by the customer shall be at destination. Contractor shall obtain customer signature for delivery at each location for acceptance of quantity. A copy of the signed quantity acceptance document must be attached to the WAWF invoice submittal for payment. Comment by Mayfield, Alex M CIV DLA ENERGY (USA): Here it says quality inspection is a origin, so again, why would you need a tech, stationed at the destination, to guarantee the product for testing, when it has already been inspected and accepted at origin?

Contractor-Provided Equipment Installation: Contractor shall install their Contractor provided equipment, a backup liquid pump assembly, within the existing system footprints, no later than 30 calendar days from start of contract performance. The Contractor shall also perform all inspections and maintenance of Contractor provided equipment to assure systems provide safe and uninterrupted support.

The Contractor may be required to provide a temporary system during change out of existing system or tanks to eliminate any delay in supply of product.

Contractor-Provided Equipment Removal: Contractor provided equipment shall be removed by the Contractor within 30 calendar days after contract termination. The Contractor will coordinate with the follow-on supplier to effect removal of current equipment and installation of new equipment.
