The Yocum Sailing Center Fuel Dispensing System project aims to remove and replace existing fuel infrastructure at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, NY. The scope includes the removal of two underground storage tanks (USTs), associated piping, dispensers, and electrical systems, followed by the installation of new USTs, a dual product fuel dispenser, and all necessary components to ensure compliance with federal and local regulations. Key tasks involve securing permits, conducting engineering assessments, performing soil testing, and guaranteeing environmental protection throughout the process, particularly due to the site's historical significance. The contractor is responsible for managing all labor, materials, and safety protocols while minimizing disruption to the academy's operations. Completion of the work is expected within 90 days of contract award, and all actions must adhere to guidelines set forth by relevant regulatory agencies. The overall objective is to modernize the fuel dispensing system while ensuring environmental safety and maintaining historical integrity.
The United States Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) is seeking a licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.) or equivalent contractor for the removal and replacement of its fuel dispensing system near the Yocum Waterfront Operations building in New York. The project must comply with all federal, state, and local regulations and includes replacing underground storage tanks (USTs), dispensers, and related electrical and monitoring systems. Interested contractors are required to answer several market research questions and submit a capability statement, as this is part of a Request for Information (RFI). Key requirements include demonstrating ownership of a GSA eBuy contract for comparable work, confirming that licensed professionals will manage the project, ensuring no disruption to the academic activities at USMMA, and maintaining compliance with historic preservation standards. Contractors also need to address environmental concerns through the use of compliant materials and ensure completion within an estimated timeframe while providing descriptions of similar past projects. Responses must be submitted by February 24, 2025, to the designated contracting officials. The RFI is aimed at gathering insights and capabilities, and no expenses incurred by respondents will be reimbursed.
