Currently there are 10 Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) fire suppression systems that serve as fire protection for each of these tank farms. The DoD has mandated that all legacy stocks of AFFF be disposed of and replaced with viable alternatives meeting updated Military Specifications. Since the DoD issued a directive disallowing release of AFFF, pumps, valves, cannons, electrical panels, hydrants, etc. for each of these systems have not been exercised and undergone little to no maintenance. This, coupled with the corrosive nature of AFFF, compounded with the near-shore ocean environment of Okinawa, has rendered these systems inoperable. The purpose of this project is to demolish and dispose of equipment associated with the each AFFF fire suppression system on-island. Project Description:� The scope for this project includes phased work . In the first phase, the Contractor shall be required to excavate approximately 10 pits, as indicated in the drawings attached, to expose AFFF Lines for draining. A separate service contractor will then drain the AFFF concentrate and flush these systems; the removal of the AFFF is not a requirement under this contract. During the second phase, the Contractor shall coordinate their schedule to follow the service contractor in removing and disposing of all AFFF system infrastructure equipment to include storage tanks, reservoirs, pumps, cannons, electrical control panels, flanges, connections, fittings, joints, hydrants, motors, cabinets, piping, backflow preventers, and related appurtenances associated with each AFFF fire suppression system. Demolition of the equipment, piping, and appurtenance associated with fuel system are not a part of this project. Work is planned for the following locations: Chimuwan Tank Farm #1 Chimuwan Tank Farm #2 Chimuwan Tank Farm #3 Kuwae Tank Farm #1 Kuwae Tank Farm #2 White Beach Demolition will include the following facilities: Chimuwan Tank Farm #1- B115 (water storage tank), Chimuwan Tank Farm #2: B207 (water storage tank), Chimuwan Tank Farm #3 B390 (water storage tank), Kuwae Tank Farm #1: B702 (Fire Pump House with underground water storage tank), Kuwae Tank Farm #2: B816 (Water Storage Tank) and B817 (Fire Pump House with underground water storage tank), White Beach: B734 (water storage tank) and B727 (Fire Pump House with underground water storage tank). Work does not cover the actual fuel system. �������� ������������ Building 114 (Chimuwan Tank Farm #1), Building 206 (Chimuwan Tank Farm #2), Buildings 303 and 306 (Chimuwan Tank Farm #3), Building 815 (Kuwae Tank Farm #2), and Building 733 (White Beach) will not be demolished; however, all the equipment, piping, pipe support, pumps, tanks, platforms and stairs, and mechanical/electrical appurtenance within these facilities associated with AFFF fire protection systems are within the requirements for demolition. Work shall include labor, transportation, materials, equipment, and supervision as necessary to accomplish all excavation, demolition, removal, disposal, and associated incidental environmental work (including but not limited to residual AFFF materials, asbestos, lead-based paint, mold, PCBs, site contamination, etc.). The service contractor will provide a 270-gallon tote for use in collecting and shipping of materials to an authorized disposal facility in the event any liquid is found in the pipes during the demolition process. NOTE: The DRAFT Drawings and Plans included in this Notice are provided for information only (FIO).� Interested firms are cautioned that ALL attachments to this notice are provided in DRAFT format and subject to change. Estimated Period of Performance: ���31 Months Proposed Procurement Method:� The Government anticipates the issuance of an Invitation for Bids (IFB) solicitation.� This contract will be performed in its entirety in the country of Japan, and any solicitation posted will be intended for local sources only.
