The Yocum Sailing Center Fuel Dispensing System project involves the removal and installation of an updated fuel dispensing system at the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, NY. The work includes the removal of existing underground storage tanks and fuel dispensers, and the procurement and installation of new double-walled fiberglass tanks (a 2,500-gallon gasoline tank and a 6,000-gallon diesel tank) along with new fuel dispensers and associated systems. The contractor will ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements and standards for historic properties. Key activities include obtaining necessary permits, completing engineering drawings, ensuring safe disposal of hazardous materials, and conducting soil sampling to check for contamination. The project must minimize disruption to the Academy and adhere to strict timelines, requiring a detailed work plan and collaboration with USMMA authorities. Overall, this project reflects the federal government's initiative to maintain infrastructure while ensuring safety and environmental compliance in historical contexts.
The United States Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) is seeking a licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.) or an equivalent contractor to remove and replace an existing fuel dispensing system at the Yocum Waterfront Operations building in New York. The project encompasses multiple components including underground storage tanks (USTs), fuel dispensers, and necessary electrical and alarm systems, all compliant with relevant laws and regulations. Interested contractors are required to answer a series of questions to aid market research and submit a capability statement. Key considerations include the contractor’s licensing, ability to ensure uninterrupted academic activities during the project, adherence to historic preservation standards, compliance with environmental laws, and the provision of proper documentation to regulatory bodies. The timeline for completion, previous relevant experience, and a preliminary cost estimate for the project and its options are also requested. Responses must be submitted via email by February 24, 2025. This request serves as part of the federal government's market research for a forthcoming formal solicitation.
