Aviation Fuel Tank and Pump Terminal Removal

Dorchester County, South Carolina is seeking quotes for the removal of abandoned aviation fuel infrastructure at the St. George Airport through Request for Quotes (RFQ) No. 2026-12A. The project specifically involves removing one 5,000-gallon aboveground fuel storage tank, two 1,000-gallon aboveground fuel storage tanks, and two fuel pump terminals, with complete disconnection from existing concrete pads. Contractors must provide a comprehensive project schedule, demonstrate proof of proper disposal or recycling, and submit a final report with before-and-after photographs. The county will award the contract to the most responsive and responsible firm, with cost being a significant but not sole consideration in the evaluation process. Key submission deadlines include October 20, 2025, at 5:00 pm for question submissions and October 29, 2025, at 2:00 pm for quote submissions. Quotes must remain valid for sixty days from the opening date and must include comprehensive pricing for all work, encompassing products, labor, equipment, and services.

The RFQ does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for particular types of organizations. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability, automobile liability, workers' compensation, and potentially owners' and contractors' protective liability. Additional requirements include compliance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act and the Illegal Immigration Act. Contractors must submit various forms, including a Statement of Qualifications, contact information, and a Non-Collusion Oath. While no specific budget range is provided, the contract requires the contractor to complete the entire removal process at no cost to the county. The county reserves the right to reject any or all quotes and to make changes to the RFQ as needed. Interested firms must demonstrate technical capability, environmental compliance, and the capacity to safely and efficiently remove the specified fuel tank and pump terminal infrastructure.
