Installation, Repair, and Maintenance of Fuel Tank Systems

The City of Tucson and Pima County are seeking a contractor for the Facilities and Communications Maintenance (FCM) Division to provide comprehensive maintenance and repair services for Liquid Fuel Systems. The contract will cover a range of critical services, including inspection, maintenance, and repair of fuel dispenser tanks, pumps, associated piping, hanging hardware, vent lines, and vents. Key deliverables include leak prevention and detection, monitoring equipment maintenance, filter replacements, and vapor recovery system maintenance. The procurement is specifically targeting a comprehensive fuel system maintenance solution for government facilities. The contract opportunity was posted on October 22, 2025, with proposals due by November 18, 2025. Qualified contractors must demonstrate expertise in fuel system infrastructure, possess appropriate technical certifications, and have proven experience in maintaining complex fuel handling and storage systems.

The procurement appears to have several set-aside and compliance requirements, particularly related to federal funding sources. Contractors must comply with Section 3 requirements, which mandate that 25% of labor hours be performed by Section 3 workers and 5% by Targeted Section 3 workers. Additionally, Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goals are in effect, and contractors must adhere to HUD wage determination standards with prevailing wages ranging from $14.35 to $24.16 per hour. While specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the extensive documentation suggests a substantial multi-year contract with potential significant infrastructure investments. Compliance with federal regulations is paramount, including Buy America provisions, energy conservation standards, and specific requirements for HUD and FTA-assisted contracts. Contractors must also be prepared to meet strict key management procedures, provide comprehensive documentation, and maintain rigorous safety and operational standards.
