14. Reference PWS Para C-4.1 Performance Requisites: The Contractor is responsible to conduct inspections, preventative/operator, recurring and enhanced recurring maintenance on the petroleum systems. Please clarify that the contractor is responsible for all costs associated with the API 510, API 570 and API 653 inspections based on their intervals for the life of the contract.

14A. The contractor is responsible for costs associated with API 570 and API 653 inspections. The API 510 standard is no longer a requirement for Navy facilities and does not apply.

• For API 653 inspections, the contractor provides and bears the cost for the initial inspection and the resulting report. The cost of any required repairs is funded by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and reimbursed to the contractor through the EM program.

• For API 570 inspections, which are managed by NAVFAC EXWC, the cost of required repairs is funded by DLA and reimbursed to the contractor.

15. Reference PWS Para C-4.1.2 Description of Enhanced Recurring Maintenance Tasks:

The paragraph states the enhanced recurring maintenance should be done as dictated in UFC 3-460-03. UFC 3-460-03 Section 8-4.1 Part E: Perform an out-of-service API 653 or STI SP00l inspection to evaluate the tank for conditions which may affect the operational integrity of the tank floor, shell, roof and floating roof or pan. API 653 or STI SP00l provides a checklist to be used as part of the assessment. This inspection must be performed by an appropriately certified API 653 or STI SP00l inspector. Inspection must include all components and equipment located inside the tank containment area such as piping, pipe supports, containment valves, and product saver tanks. \1 \ The API 653 or STI SP00l inspector must recommend the date of the next inspection. IT'he inspection interval. must be based on the date the API Suitability for Service Letter is issued immediately prior to when the tank is returned to service. Frequency: As recommended by the API 653 or STI SP00 1 inspector. If there is not a previous recommendation, the inspection must be performed within ten years after the tank was placed into operation.

A. Does the government want the contractor to follow the API standard or the UFC and Suitability Letter for all API 653 Tank inspections at NAS Key West?

15A. The contractor must adhere to the following inspection schedule for API 653:

• External Inspections: Mandatory every five (5) years.

• Internal Inspections: The timeline for the next internal inspection is based on the date of the last Suitability for Service Letter. However, this interval cannot exceed the Navy's maximum requirement of twenty (20) years between internal inspections.

If the recommended date or Suitability Letter timeline surpasses this 20-year maximum, the inspection must be performed at the 20-year mark.

16. Question 4: Reference PWS Para C.4-1.4.4 API 510 Pressure Vessel Inspection: Please clarify if the API 510 Pressure Vessel Inspection is to be conducted annually or every five years? Please see the reference below as the basis for our question.

API 510

• 6.6.2 Testing and Inspection Intervals

• 6.6.2.1 Pressure-relieving devices shall be tested and inspected at intervals that are frequent enough to verify that the valves perform reliably in the particular service conditions. Other pressure-relieving devices, (e.g. rupture disks and vacuum-breaker valves) shall be inspected at intervals based on service conditions. The inspection interval for all pressure relieving devices is determined by either the inspector, engineer, or other qualified individual per the Owner User's quality assurance system.

• 6.6.2.2 Unless documented experience and/or a RBI assessment indicates that a longer interval is acceptable, test and inspection intervals for pressure-relieving devices in typical process services should not exceed:

o Five years for typical process services; and, Ten years for clean (nonfouling) and noncorrosive service

16A. The API 510 inspection standard is no longer performed at Navy facilities and can be disregarded as a maintenance requirement for NAS Key West.
