Storage_Tank_Annual_Visual_Inspection_Checklist.pdf

This is an Attachment B Storage Tank Annual Visual Inspection Checklist document for Sarasota County, Florida's Petroleum Storage Tank Testing and Inspection Services contract opportunity. The checklist establishes the inspection requirements and documentation standards that contractors must follow when performing annual visual inspections of the County's petroleum storage tank systems. The inspection scope encompasses four primary areas: visual inspection of tank and system surfaces, spill buckets, sumps, piping, and secondary containment for corrosion or damage; verification of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) required tank labeling, identification painting, and hazardous signage; assessment of dispensers, hoses, and associated tank system equipment and containment for damage, end-of-service life conditions, or recommended improvements; and inspection of tank anchoring and grounding systems. All findings must be documented with JPG photographs and detailed descriptions of any damage extent or missing items identified during the inspection process. The contract anticipates an initial three-year term to address the County's ongoing petroleum storage tank systems containing gasoline, diesel fuel, diesel exhaust fluid, and motor oil.

The checklist serves as a standardized tool to ensure consistent compliance and thorough documentation across all County-owned storage tank system inspections. Contractors must provide comprehensive visual inspection services with supporting photographic evidence and written descriptions for any items requiring attention. This attachment establishes the baseline performance standards and reporting requirements that bidders should reference when developing their technical proposals and cost estimates for the petroleum storage tank testing and inspection services contract.
