- Description
- The attachments show the best layout of the tanks I have, also the electrical conduits. This will be customer supplied conduit from the building to the slab. Vendor will need to run conduit in the power plant to power panel appox 100ft and from outdoor slab penetration to polishing equipment. No piping is supplied for the polisher and it will be all installed above ground. (Scope) Supply the polishing system, supply and install piping, supply, install and terminate wires, startup and commissioning, and provide a fuel maintenance program tailored to this system and fuel storage. Question #1: Per the solicitation, you are requesting a single filtration system for six 12,000 gallon tanks. The specified make and model will handle up to four tanks. Two systems would be required to handle all six tanks. Please confirm two systems are acceptable. Answer #1 Two systems are acceptable. Question #2: The base system specified (FTI-10A) includes a 10 GPM gear pump and electric valve control for up to four tanks. In Statement of Work, Item 5, Plumbing #5 & 6, there is a reference to a submersible pump. If submersible pumps are to be used, we would need one pump per tank. This statement also conflicts with Item #1 in the same section, a foot valve required on the supply line. Please confirm if we are to supply one submersible pump per tank, or simply one gear pump inside the filtration cabinet. Answer #2 Submersible pumps would only be needed for the FTI-10A if suction exceeds 15lbs. (Should not be the case) One Gear Pump inside the filtration cabinet is acceptable. Question #3: As per Statement of Work Item 3, #5, the controller is capable of actuating solenoid valves or motorized valves. It is not clear which style of valve is required for this project. Please clarify if solenoid valves or actuated valves are required. Note that motorized valves are more expensive, but are a better selection as they allow for positive feedback that the correct valves are opened or closed. Answer #3 Motorized are not required. Question #4: The statement of work opening paragraph indicates the filtration system is to be skid mounted. The specified system, FTI-10A, is a cabinet system intended for wall-mounting. This cabinet could be mounted on a strut rack or on the end of a tank. Please confirm this cabinet design is acceptable. Answer #4 Cabinet cannot be mounted to concrete pad and there is not strut welded to the tanks. Cabinet will have to installed on some type of self-supporting skid. Question #5: Statement of work Item 3, #4 states that the controller shall include two dry contacts for remote monitoring. Please confirm if it is within the scope of this solicitation to terminate these contacts for remote monitoring by JBLM, and if so, where these contacts are to be wired to. Answer #5 To controller must have two dry contacts for remote monitoring of general alarms. Vendor will not terminate or pull wire for this device. Question #6: Anti-syphon devices are required on the fuel oil supply lines whenever they are piped below the top of the tank. If placed in the appropriate locations, the actuated control valves can fulfill this requirement. Please confirm if the control valves can be used as anti-syphon valves or if additional valves such as mechanical actuated anti-syphon valves are required. Answer #6 Control valves can be used for anti-siphon if it meets State and Federal Codes. Question #7: It is highly recommended to install listed flexible connectors on the fuel oil supply lines and return lines to protect against damage from impact or seismic activity. Flexible connectors are not discussed in the solicitation. Please confirm if flexible connectors are required for this installation. Answer #7 Flexible connectors are required for this installation. Question #8: Manual isolation valves are highly recommended on the supply and return lines to allow for isolation for testing or maintenance. Bypass valves may also be desirable around the actuated valves. Please confirm if any isolation valves are to be installed in the supply and return piping. Answer #8 No isolation valves needed Question #9: According to the specified manufacturer, Fuel Technologies, the minimum suggested piping size for the supply and return lines for an FTI-10A system is 1-1/4 quote mark. Please confirm if 1-1/4 quote mark pipe size is acceptable. Answer #9 1-1/4 pipe size is acceptable. All other terms and Conditions remain the same.
