R/R Diesel Tank

The U.S. Army Garrison - Detroit Arsenal, in collaboration with the City of Center Line, Michigan, is seeking proposals for a comprehensive diesel tank replacement and fueling system rehabilitation project located at the Detroit Arsenal. The procurement involves removing an existing 500-gallon diesel tank and installing a new 5,000-gallon aboveground storage tank (AST) with an automatic transfer switch (ATS), situated south of B200D along Bradley Drive. Key project deliverables include complete tank decommissioning, new tank installation, environmental protection planning, and compliance with stringent safety and operational guidelines. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for January 29th, 2025, at 9:00 am, requiring interested bidders to complete security access forms. Sealed proposals will be received until 10:00 am on February 21st, 2025, with an estimated project timeline of 210 calendar days from Notice to Proceed. Bidders must provide a bid guarantee of at least 5% of the bid amount and comply with comprehensive documentation requirements, including contractor quality control plans, material reports, and waste management documentation. The project, identified as IGSA-CI-RFS-25-01 and Work Order DTA-15023, requires rigorous coordination with multiple government entities including DTA DPW Environmental Division, Fire Department, and Base Operations.

While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly detailed, the procurement process indicates a structured government contract opportunity requiring extensive technical expertise in diesel fuel infrastructure and military facility modifications. Contractors must possess appropriate radiation safety permits, environmental compliance certifications, and the ability to navigate complex military installation access protocols. The project will require comprehensive documentation, including NRC licenses, trained employee lists, operating instructions, and emergency response plans. Potential contractors must demonstrate capabilities in handling radiation sources, adhering to DoD design criteria for petroleum fuel facilities, and managing potential soil contamination scenarios, particularly related to PFAS regulations. Though a specific award value was not provided, the complexity of the project suggests a significant infrastructure investment. Bidders must be prepared to provide performance, maintenance, guarantee, labor, and material bonds, along with comprehensive insurance certificates. The City of Center Line reserves the right to reject any proposals and negotiate terms to best serve its interests, indicating a competitive and selective procurement process.
