About this file

This amendment modifies the technical specifications for an aviation fuel mechanical equipment procurement. The project involves replacing the fuel storage complex at the Quonset Point Air National Guard Station in Rhode Island. Key requirements include installing a new 600 gallon per minute pumphouse, offload skids, fuel pumps, filter/separator vessels, truck fillstand equipment, associated valves, piping and electrical components. The existing storage tanks will be reused with the new system. Construction will be phased to allow the existing system to operate until most of the new system is completed. Materials must be compatible with Jet A fuel and components rated for outdoor use between 0 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The specifications cover allowable materials, equipment, pressure gauges, automatic controls, meters, aboveground storage tanks and accessories, truck offloading systems, drainage pumps, and fillstand equipment.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 GENERAL

3.1.1 Installation

Install equipment and components in position, true to line, level and plumb, and measured from established benchmarks or reference points.

Follow manufacturer's recommended practices for equipment installation.

Provide required clearances between equipment components. Equipment, apparatus, and accessories requiring normal servicing or maintenance to be accessible.

3.1.2 Anchoring

Anchor equipment in place. Check alignment of anchor bolts before installing equipment and clean-out associated sleeves. Do not cut bolts because of misalignment. Notify Contracting Officer of errors and obtain the Contracting Officer's acceptance before proceeding with corrections.

Cut anchor bolts of excess length to the appropriate length without damage to threads. Where anchor bolts or like devices have not been installed, provide appropriate self-drilling type anchors for construction condition.

3.1.3 Grouting

Equipment which is anchored to a pad is to be grouted in place. Before setting equipment in place and before placing grout, clean surfaces to be in contact with grout, including fasteners and sleeves. Remove standing water, debris, oil, rust, and coatings which impair bond. Clean contaminated concrete by grinding. Clean metal surfaces of mill scale and rust by hand or power tool methods. Provide necessary formwork for placing and retaining grout. Grout to be non-metallic, non-shrink, fluid precision grout of a hydraulic cementitious system with graded and processed silica aggregate, Portland cement, shrinkage compensating agents, plasticizing and water reducing agents; free of aluminum powder agents, oxidizing agents and inorganic accelerators, including chlorides;

proportioned, pre-mixed and packaged at factory with only the addition of water required at the project site. Grouting must be in accordance with ASTM C827/C827M. Perform all grouting in accordance with equipment manufacturer's and grout manufacturer's published specifications and recommendations.

3.1.4 Leveling and Aligning

Level and align equipment in accordance with respective manufacturer's published data. Do not use anchor bolt, jack-nuts or wedges to support, level or align equipment. Install only flat shims for leveling equipment. Place shims to fully support equipment. Wedging is not permitted. Shims to be fabricated flat carbon steel units of surface configuration and area not less than equipment bearing surface. Shims to provide for full equipment support. Shim to have smooth surfaces and edges, free from burrs and slivers. Flame or electrode cut edges not acceptable.

3.1.5 Direct Drives

Alignment procedure follows:

SECTION 33 52 43.11 Page 13

3.1.5.1 Rotation Direction and Speed

Check and correct drive shaft rotation direction and speed.

3.1.5.2 End Play

Run drive shafts at operational speed. Determine whether axial end play exists. Run drive shaft at operational speed and mark drive shaft axial position when end play exists. Block drive shaft in operating position when aligning drive shaft with driven shaft.

3.1.5.3 Shaft Leveling and Radial Alignment

Pump alignment must be accomplished by the factory technician or a millwright trained in pump alignment, and with the use of dial gauges or laser alignment equipment.

3.1.5.4 Angular Alignment and End Clearance

Check angular alignment and end clearance by inserting a feeler gage at 4 points, 90 degrees apart around outer edges of coupling halves.

3.1.5.5 Final Recheck

Check adjustments with dial indicator after completing recheck. Align shafts within 0.001 inch tolerance, except as other-wise required by more stringent requirements of equipment manufacturer.

3.1.6 Precautions

Special care must be taken to ensure that equipment and materials are stored properly to prevent damage and maintain cleanliness, and that the completed system is free of rocks, sand, dirt, and foreign objects. Take the following steps to insure these conditions.

a. Equipment brought to the site and not stored inside, must be stored on blocks or horses at least 18 inches above ground.

b. Visual inspection must be made of each piece of equipment to ensure that it is clean prior to installation.

c. The open ends of equipment must be closed when work with that piece of equipment is not in progress.

3.2 INSTALLATION OF ABOVEGROUND TANKS

Perform tightness tests on each aboveground storage tank prior to making piping connections. Perform testing in accordance with STI 700-50-5007 except as modified herein. Gauges used to monitor the tests shall have a scale with a maximum limit of 15 psig . Repair leaks discovered during the tightness tests in accordance with tank manufacturer's instructions.

Following any repair, re-test the tank until the tank successfully passes the testing requirements of this paragraph.

3.2.1 Tank Manufacturer's Tests

In addition to the tests required herein, perform any additional tests (i.e., leak tests, cathodic protection verification tests, etc.) on each storage test that is required by the tank manufacturer's written test

SECTION 33 52 43.11 Page 14 procedures. Manufacturer's tests that are redundant to tests already required by this specification will only be performed once per tank.

Repair all leaks discovered during the tests in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Following tank repairs, re-test the tank until the tank successfully passes the manufacturer's testing requirements.

3.2.2 Tank Fill Tests

For the tank fill tests, initially fill each storage tank with fuel in order to verify the tank level alarm system operates properly and the tank overfill protection device functions as designed. Stop filling each tank immediately once the overfill devices operates. Do not overfill any storage tank more than the 98 percent level. Drain the system below the low liquid level setpoint to verify operation of the low level alarm.

Correct and retest any problems with the level alarm system or the overfill device until each operate as specified herein. During the tests, verify that all tank gauges are calibrated and operating appropriately.

3.3 POSTED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

For each designated system or equipment item, provide instructions for guidance of operating and maintenance personnel. Following approval of content, prepare these instructions in a form and scale that will be readily legible when displayed in appropriate locations, to be designated by the Contracting Officer and meet the following requirements:

3.3.1 Each System

For each system, include diagrams of equipment, piping, wiring and control. Define control sequences.

3.3.2 Each Tank

For each tank provide a P.E. stamped certified tank calibration chart in 1/16-inch increments reading in gallons.

3.3.3 Each Item

For each equipment item, include starting, adjustment, operation, lubrication, safety precautions and shut-down procedures. Identify procedures to be performed in event of equipment failure. Provide other instructions recommended by the manufacturer.

3.3.4 Diagrams

Provide a professionally prepared isometric piping diagram of the fueling system apparatus. Diagram must be 36 by 54 inches and must be color coded .

Diagram must show the entire facility and must include all equipment and the operational sequences of all equipment with equipment numbers displayed. Diagram must show all valves along with the valve numbers shown on the drawings and listed as normally open/closed. It must be wall mounted under glass.
