Above Ground Diesel Tank

The State of Kansas Department of Administration is seeking a contractor to remove, replace, and install an above-ground diesel tank for Larned State Hospital, located at 1301 KS-264 in Larned, Kansas. The procurement involves supplying and installing a 4,000-gallon double wall horizontal Flameshield above-ground storage tank (AST), which will replace an existing underground storage tank (UST). The comprehensive project scope includes full excavation and removal of the existing tank, installation of the new AST with specific dimensions of 7 feet diameter by 14 feet 6 inches length on a new concrete pad, and associated infrastructure including piping systems, carbon steel bollards, a Veeder-Root TLS48 tank monitoring system, and a temporary 4,000-gallon fuel tank. The Request for Proposal (RFP) requires the vendor to provide a certified electrician and crane service for tank offloading and placement. Key dates include a bid submission deadline of November 18, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time, with written clarification questions accepted until November 11, 2025. No pre-bid conference or site visit is scheduled, and the contract term will extend from the award date through November 1, 2026.

The solicitation offers potential preference opportunities for specific business types, including Disabled Veteran Owned Business, State Use Purchases, and Certified Business categories, with vendors required to submit supporting documentation to claim these preferences. Bidders must submit a current Tax Clearance Certificate from the Kansas Department of Revenue and comply with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. Additional mandatory submission requirements include completed forms addressing the Boycott of Israel, Sexual Harassment policies, and Immigration Reform compliance. The award will be made by the Procurement Negotiation Committee, which consists of the Secretary of the Department of Administration, the Director of Purchases, and the Head of the Using Agency. Pricing must be submitted on a tax-exempt basis and broken down by equipment, labor, materials, and freight categories, with payment terms set at Net 30 days and F.O.B. destination pricing. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a significant investment in infrastructure replacement and tank installation services.
