The project involves reconnecting existing supply lines and installing existing equipment to supply an emergency generator. The estimated construction cost is between $25,000 and $100,000, with a performance period from January 20, 2026, to February 20, 2026.

The document addresses questions and clarifications regarding the replacement of an existing fuel tank at a hatchery. Key details include the transfer of approximately 500 gallons of existing fuel to the main hatchery tank, the potential reuse of the remote fill/spill containment cabinet and existing stair/ladder depending on the new tank's height. A steel double-walled AST is acceptable as a replacement, and a 1-inch vent line from an internal day tank needs connection to the new AST. The project aims for completion after June 15th to avoid disrupting fish rearing, although the initial target of February 27, 2026, for tank readiness may be extended due to lead times, necessitating discussions on temporary fuel solutions to ensure continuous backup power. The new tank will be installed on the existing pad, and passive leak detection for the interstitial space is required. The urgency stems from the hatchery's inability to be without backup power, which would lead to water loss.
