- Description
- THIS NOTICE CONSTITUTES AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE COMBINED SYNOPSIS/RFQ FOR Fuel Storage and Distribution System. Companies shall acknowledge all amendment(s) in their quote. This notice serves as the official amendment to subject synopsis/RFQ and a written amendment will not be issued. The purpose of this amendment is to answer the following questions and to extend the delivery date. 1. In regards to the fuel storage tank RFQ, would you want unloading the tank to be included in the proposal. ANSWER: We do not want unloading to be included in the proposal. We do require engineered lifting attachments and the weight of the system. 2. Line item eleven under the dispensing system head reads: "JP-7 HC-1633150 Filter / Separator / Coalescer. Rated at 240 GPM." It appears that the system should use an API 1582 Type II Class B filter vessel or two-stage filter vessel. Can you please confirm this. Also, not familiar with HC-16333150. Is this a part number for a specific brand of filter vessel? If so what is the manufacturer. 3. This question is in regards to the system's carrier rate. Line item eight under the dispensing system head states that the system shall have a 30 GPM flow control valve for loading into test vessels. Line item 13 states that the system shall be capable of bottom loading through a 2 1/2" x 12' hose and Thiem Nozzle. Will the hose and nozzle mentioned in line 13 be used to load the test vessels? If not what type of nozzle, hose is required to fill the test vessel? If so should the system's bottom loading rate be 30 GPM or should it be 200 GPM (the rate of the pump)? ANSWER: The filter specification was listed incorrectly in the solicitation. The proper identifier is HV-1633150 Filter/Separator/Coalescer and the unit is manufactured by Velcon. This unit does meet API 1582 Type II Class B. ANSWER: The bottom loading connection is required to pump JP-7 out of a delivery tanker into the storage tank. The Air Force has a 6000 gallon tanker truck, but the truck does not have an off-loading pump. The unit will pump the fuel off the truck into the storage tank at a flow rate of 200 gpm. This will be used for off-loading the truck only. Another means of providing the fuel to the test vessels must be provided that gives a flow rate of 30 gpm to the test vessel. No hose is required for this as field piping must be installed to deliver the fuel approximately 100 yards from the bulk storage tank. The offerer must supply a connection point to the bulk system that can deliver 30 gpm to the piping being installed by NASA. This piping work is the responsibility of NASA. The due date for receipt of offers is extended to September 19, 2003.
