PART 2: STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

1.0 Objective & Overview

The Contractor shall furnish all necessary labor, supervision, materials, tools, equipment, testing apparatus, and transportation (except for specified Government/Owner-Furnished Equipment) to perform concrete breakout and conduit correction, electrical re-wiring, drop tube replacement, and overfill alarm installation across designated fueling facilities.

2.0 Detailed Scope of Work by Facility and Task

TASK AREA 1: Premium Tank Sump Conduit Repair & Electrical Remediation

The Contractor shall repair incorrectly poured conduit serving the Premium tank sump, complete necessary electrical re-pulls, and restore the concrete pad to original structural grade.

1. Demolition & Concrete Breakout:

   
   

   • Precision sawcut and breakout existing concrete around the Premium tank sump to expose the buried conduit line.

   • Protect adjacent sump structures, lid seats, and underground utilities from collateral damage during breakout operations.

2. Conduit Clearing & Realignment:

   
   

   • Cut apart the obstructed/incorrect conduit run and clear out concrete or foreign debris resulting from the prior incorrect pour.

   • Reconnect the conduit run using code-compliant, liquid-tight, fuel-resistant fittings and conduit rated for Class I, Division 1/2 hazardous fuel environments. Ensure proper pitch, sealing, and alignment.

3. Electrical Wiring & Terminations:

   
   

   • Pull new electrical conductors/wiring from the main building panel/control area to the tank sub-unit junction box in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC/NFPA 70).

   • Terminate all wiring connections, verify seal-offs, and conduct comprehensive continuity, insulation resistance (megger), and operational tests to ensure proper equipment operation.

4. Civil Restoration:

   
   

   • Backfill excavated trench using suitable aggregate, compacted in uniform lifts to match surrounding base compaction specifications.

   • Form and pour back high-early-strength concrete to match the existing grade, thickness, and finish of the fueling apron.

TASK AREA 2: Facility 6047806 – Tank 3 Drop Tube Replacement

The Contractor shall remove obsolete fill hardware and install a compliant drop tube assembly on Tank 3.

1. Hardware Removal & Disposal:

   
   

   • Remove the existing fill adapter, fill cap, and drop tube assembly.

   • Safely load, manifest (if required), transport, and legally dispose of all obsolete components off-site in compliance with all local, state, and federal environmental regulations.

2. Furnish & Install New Hardware:

   
   

   • Furnish and install one (1) new OPW overfill prevention drop tube (or Government-approved equal), one (1) new fill adapter, and one (1) new heavy-duty locking cap.

   • Special Technical Condition: Work assumes the existing drop tube is removable without structural failure and the existing spill container (spill bucket) remains sound and reusable. If the drop tube is seized or the spill bucket is found to be compromised/damaged, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer Representative (COR). Any required replacement of seized components or spill containers shall be evaluated and authorized via a formal bilateral change order prior to proceeding.

3. Regulatory Compliance Verification:

   
   

   • Set and verify that the drop tube shutoff mechanism operates at the exact level mandated by 40 CFR Part 280 / state UST regulations (e.g., 95% tank capacity shutoff or 90% flow restriction).

4. Deliverables & Documentation:

   
   

   • Document pre-work conditions, intermediate installation stages, and final configuration with high-resolution digital photographs.

   • Submit photos and completed compliance checklist with the final job completion paperwork.

TASK AREA 3: Facility 6047801 – Overfill Alarm Installation

The Contractor shall remove the existing overfill alarm and install owner-provided Veeder-Root monitoring hardware.

1. Demolition:

   
   

   • Disconnect and remove the existing overfill alarm unit; transport and dispose of all removed scrap components off-site.

2. Installation of Government/Owner-Furnished Equipment (GFE/OFE):

   
   

   • The Government/Owner will provide:

     
     

     • One (1) Veeder-Root Overfill Alarm (Part # 790091-001 / SKU: 790091-001)

3. Testing & Commissioning:

   
   

   • Perform functional operational checkout of the Veeder-Root alarm and sensor assembly to verify positive alarm annunciation and correct signal communication to the console.

4. Deliverables & Documentation:

   
   

   • Take detailed digital photographs of the completed installation, wiring junction, and console status screen indicating an operational, alarm-free condition.

   • Submit completion paperwork and test verification logs to the COR.
