PART 1 – GENERAL

WORK DESCRIPTION. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, FWS Kodiak Administrative Site c/o Kodiak NWR located at 402 Center Avenue, Kodiak AK 99615, has a requirement for the removal of the existing 1,500 gallon double walled tank and Furnish and Install a New Double Walled, 1,500 Gallon Heating Oil Tank System in accordance with the following Salient Characteristics/Minimum Requirements:

1. Tank:

One (1) new double walled 1,500-gallon heating oil tank system. It shall be constructed to meet Steel Tank Institute F921, Appendix D and UL 142 and UL 2080 requirements. Tank shall comply with NFPA 30A fire resistive performance. Tank shall be cylindrical in shape and mounted on structural steel beam skids that are an integral part of the tank with the proper nameplates for a supported tank system.

Tank shall have ports that are raised and broadened such that there are no depressions around port openings, to prevent ice, snow, or liquids from pooling around tank openings. Several items listed in these specifications may be deviations from your standard tanks and therefore careful review of these specifications and close contact with the Contracting Officer are very important.

Provide ports for filling, suction, fuel quantity gauge, interstitial leak detection, , one for normal venting of the primary tank, two for emergency venting of the primary and secondary tank and one spare port for the primary tank plugged with an approved cast iron plug and a frost proof drain valve.

Appurtenances:

1. Marine grade coating system, desert sand color

2. One (1) each normal vent pipe long enough to be twelve (12) feet above ground level.

3. One (1) each normal vacuum pressure vent set below the pressure of the emergency vents

4. Two (2) each emergency vent pipes long enough to be two feet above the top of the tank

5. Two (2) each emergency vacuum pressure vents for the emergency vents.

6. One (1) each overfill containment basin with a flow back drain

7. One (1) each OSHA approved end mounted ladder

8. One (1) each anti siphon valve sized for this tank system

9. One (1) each interstitial leak detection indicator

10. One (1) each clock type battery powered alarming fuel quantity gauge

11. Fill and suction tubes

12. System shall arrive as completely assembled and as ready for use as possible.

2. All services and labor to remove and dispose of the existing 1,500 gallon double walled heating oil tank system and all fuel within the tank. Provide a work plan as to how this will be accomplished complete with cost quote. The existing tank system will have approximately 20- 25 gallons of fuel in it. New tank installation shall include bolting the tank to the existing concrete slab. The old tank is currently in a 9' x 7'6" enclosure (see photos). The tank dimensions should not exceed this measurement (stairs are protruding beyond this measurement, and that is acceptable).

3. All services and labor to install the new heating oil tank system in the designated place at 402 Center Avenue Kodiak, Alaska 99615 and connect this system to the building heating system.

Run an operational test and provide the government with manufacturer’s instructions. Provide a work plan as to how this will be accomplished, complete with cost quote.

DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS: The availability of equipment on the island and surrounding remote areas is unknown. The government has no equipment or resources to transport or deliver the tank system and no government furnished equipment is part of this contract. The Contractor has full responsibility for the tank until it is delivered FOB to the site. Contact with the US Fish and Wildlife Service Contracting Officer is required before submitting proposal package.
