Above Ground Storage Tank Installation

Key Details

• What exactly do they need? The Federal Bureau of Prisons needs a small business to install an above ground fuel tank and fuel dispensing system at FPC Yankton in Yankton, SD. The work includes replacing an underground fuel tank, notifying the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources 30 days prior to removal, decommissioning the existing fuel dispenser system, and safely isolating and securing the fueling system. The contractor must de-energize and disconnect electrical wiring, pump out and dispose of remaining fuel and residues, and render the 2,500-gallon underground storage tank vapor-free. Demolition also requires excavating and disposing of the old tank, piping, and Gasboy pump, performing a certified site assessment with soil samples, and submitting results to DANR for a closure letter. New work includes backfilling the excavation, grading for a new tank pad, and installing a 6-inch compacted stone base. The contractor will pour an elevated 6-inch thick, 4000 psi reinforced concrete pad with #4 rebar to support a new horizontal 3,000-gallon split compartment double-wall aboveground storage tank (500 gallons diesel, 2,500 gallons unleaded) that is UL 142 listed. The tank must be anchored and equipped with atmospheric and emergency vents, a level gauge, an anti-siphon valve, ground-level fill with spill containment, continuous leak detection, an overfill prevention valve, an electronic tank gauge with a high-level alarm, a field-mounted driver gauge, and a graduated gauging rod. Additionally, the contractor will install a raised concrete fuel island pad and connect the tank to two new Gasboy 9823K-F Astra (or equal) fuel dispensers featuring pulse output functionality. This includes new UL-listed hoses, breakaways, nozzles, dispenser sumps, and entry boots. The dispensers must be calibrated, tested, and pass a Weights & Measures certification. The system must connect to a new automated fuel tracking system powered by a key fob reader and data entry terminal at the island, linked to a controller in the Garage Office and connected to the back-up generator. The contractor must supply 30 unique vehicle key fobs and 2 general key fobs. Finally, the contractor will perform pressure/leak testing and install protective concrete-filled steel bollards around the tank and dispensing area.
