The contractor will provide all labor, materials, equipment, and supervision required for installation of Teflon Sleeves, with stainless steel overbraided PTFE, TFE, or PTFA. Installation of the tubing sleeves is expected to involve multiple steps and will require the coordinating the shut down of the fuel supply from individual tanks while the work is being done. The lines will require draining, disconnecting, removing threaded adapters, sweeping to remove all liquids and verification of the line cross section area and length for custom sleeve fabrication. Connecting the PTFE tubing into the existing piping will require new fittings and the fittings on one end will need to be modified to provide clearance for installation.

Sleeving the lines will require coordinating with Project Officer to insure Testing Operations are not jeopardized. The contractor shall communicate and schedule work according to the availability of the individual storage tanks. A firm-fixed-price contract is contemplated.
