Beale Fuel Hydrant Replacement

W9123822S0013 W9123822R0041  - USACE SPK DBB Two-Phase Design-Bid-Build construction of the Fuel Hydrant System Replacement at Beale Air Force Base (AFB).

The Government intends to solicit a Request For Proposals (RFP) in a two phased acquisition awarded as Best Value- Lowest Price Technically Acceptable that will result in award of a Firm-Fixed Price contract. The Government estimates issuing the solicitation for Phase One of this Two-Phase Design-Bid-Build project on or around July 2022.

Project Description:  Work is anticipated to include Design-Bid-Build (DBB) construction services to construct a Fuel Hydrant System Replacement. The contractor shall replace the current hydrant system by installing two-5,000 barrel tanks, a pump-house, five-600 gallon per minute pumps, seven filter separators (two receipts, five issue), two fill-stands and four hydrant outlet pits, and three position pantographs refueling arm positions 1,250 feet each.  They shall install security lighting at the Hydrant Storage System, install electric product recover pumps for water draw off at tanks, install proper drainage around hydrant secondary containment berms, install all pipe supports, equipment, and appurtenances related to the new JP-8 fuel piping, and install audible alarms on tanks and pump-house.

The project will include hydrant outlets, piping and related pipe appurtenances, cathodic protection, fuel pump house control room and shelter with pumps, filter separators and related piping, valves and fittings, fuel storage with containment, access walks/stairs, truck fill stands, truck unloads, hydrant hose truck checkout stand, and product recovery tank. Supporting efforts include site clearing & grading, site improvements for access roads, parking, secondary containment, drainage, utility improvements, pig launcher and receiver stations, pavement and markings, and security fencing.

Electrical and communications work includes control systems, underground primary and secondary services, communications, pad mounted transformers, emergency generator, site lighting, automatic tank gauging system, grounding & lighting protection, emergency power down switches, pump connections and demolition/rerouting of existing electrical utilities.

A storage and pump station will be required to continue the operation of our flight line hydrant system.  Two JP-8 tanks are required to be built to maintain current flying operations and future needs.  The Repair Hydrant System MILCON repairs 1952-era facilities that have reached the end of their life.  If project is not implemented, the Hydrant System shall be out of environmental compliance in less than five years.  This project is at a yet- operational facility with quantified serious degradation of the eight 50K gallon underground storage tanks, indicating failure is imminent.

Beale AFB supports a squadron of eight KC-135R Stratotanker aircraft as well as a variety of smaller-framed aircraft from the Aeroclub.  Provisions are also in place to simultaneously support two wide-body transient aircraft, which typically include C-17s or C-5s.  Anti-Terrorism Force Protection, cyber-security and sustainable design principles will be incorporated into the design and construction.

The potential requirement may result in a solicitation issued approximately July 2022.

If solicited, the Government intends to award the contemplated requirement as a firm-fixed-price contract by approximately 30 September 2022. It is estimated that the potential requirement can be completed within 730 calendar days.
