Repair, Underground Storage Tanks

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is seeking qualified contractors to perform underground storage tank (UST) repairs in Franklin County. The procurement opportunity focuses on comprehensive diesel fuel tank repair services, with a specific scope of work requiring detailed inspections, maintenance, and potential remediation of UST systems. Contractors must conduct thorough site visits prior to submitting bids and provide itemized pricing for each anticipated repair action. The contract is structured for an initial one-year term with potential renewals for up to four additional consecutive one-year periods. The bid submission deadline is October 6, 2020, with the expectation of contract award shortly thereafter. Key deliverables include complete tank system assessments, necessary repairs, testing protocols, and potential environmental cleanup activities. Prospective bidders must demonstrate regulatory compliance with federal, state, and local requirements for underground storage tank maintenance and demonstrate comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, general liability, and property damage protection.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises were identified in the procurement documents. The contract appears open to qualified contractors with appropriate technical capabilities and insurance credentials. While no incumbent vendor information was provided, the project will require contractors to have specialized expertise in underground storage tank repair and environmental remediation. The total project budget is not explicitly stated, but funding will be drawn from PennDOT's capital budget. Contractors must provide detailed pricing for individual repair items and related services, suggesting flexibility in potential contract value. The insurance requirements mandate minimum coverage of $250,000 per person and $1,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage, indicating the complexity and potential risk associated with the UST repair project. Successful bidders must be prepared to provide current insurance certificates and meet stringent documentation requirements throughout the contract period.
