Description

Amendment 0002 is hereby incorporated into Request for Quotation (RFQ) SP3100-07-T-0099. Amendment 0002 is being issued to answer a vendors questions and extend the RFQ response date. Question 1: At the site visit we were told that the heating coils were removed when the tanks were switched from No. 6 oil to No. 4 oil, amendment one now states, "The heating coils remain inside the tanks." - If the coils are in fact in the tank are they serpentine or bundled coils? - If bundled coils what are the dimensions and how many are there? - If serpentine how far apart are the coils? Please note, depending on the dimensions of the serpentine coils at least one of the tests (Magnetic flux leakage evaluation of tank bottom plates with ultransonic B Scan...) you are asking to be performed on the floor may not be done. Answer 1: The coils are serpentine. The Government does not know how far apart the coils are. Previous tests that were performed on the tanks were: Ultrasonic B-Scan, Imaging, Vacuum Box Testing and Visual Inspection Techniques. Question 2: How far is the closest emergency service department capable of emergency rescue if confined space emergency? Answer 2: The fire station would be the emergency service rescue, less than 1 mile. The RFQ response date is hereby extended from May 10, 2007 to May 14, 2007.
