The Service desires a bulk shipment of 135,000-300,000 gallons of JP-5 to Midway Atoll to support power generation, airport contract work, and other needs. The Service would like to enter into a contract with a qualified shipping company (Contractor) for the pickup, transport, delivery, and offload of this fuel at Midway Atoll.
SCOPE
1.1 GENERAL
• Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge is located approximately 1,300 miles NW of Honolulu, HI in the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument (Monument).
• The Service (Client) would like the fuel delivery to be completed as early as availability allows, between July 1 and December 31, 2015.
• The Midway Atoll fuel farm has a maximum storage capacity of 450,000 gallons including nine 50,000 gallon with built-in double walls for secondary containment. The Client maintains two serviceable fuel trucks to be used to transfer fuel from the barge to the fuel farm.
• The Client employs a Base Operating Support Services (BOSS) contractor to perform fueling operations, fuel offloading, and maintenance of the fuel farm. The Petroleum, Oils, and Lubricants Team (POL Team) will work directly with the Contractor to conduct the offload of fuel. The POL Manager will provide effective control of the fuel offload operations.
1.2 EXECUTION
• The Client will arrange for the purchase of a quantity of fuel (135,000-300,000 gallons) from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).
• The Contractor will move their fuel barge to the point of delivery of the fuel and schedule for the upload of the fuel from DLA.
• The Contractor will transport the fuel barge to the inner harbor at Midway Atoll and moor the barge to the pier.
• The Client will deploy a fuel boom as required by regulations before defueling operations commence.
• The Client and Contractor will conduct a safety and operations briefing on the pier before starting fuel offload.
• The Contractor will setup and connect the fuel pump on the pier with assistance from the POL team.
• The Contractor will work with the POL team to conduct dockside fuel offload by pumping the fuel directly into two fuel trucks. The POL team will transfer the fuel to the fuel farm.
• The Contractor will depart Midway Atoll after the completion of fuel offload and removal of the fuel boom.

The Contractor will:
• Move a barge to the point of fuel distribution or provide delivery of fuel to the barge.
• Provide all necessary means to receive between 135,000 gallons (minimum) and 300,000 gallons of JP-5 fuel at the DLA facility or other distribution point and deliver to Midway Atoll.
• Ensure that the barge and tug meet all United States Coast Guard (USCG) requirements for bulk fuel transfer and transport over water.
• Ensure the integrity and quality of the fuel during transport.

• Provide a fuel transfer pump with capabilities to offload at a rate of least 500 gallons per minute or greater into a fuel truck.
• Provide fuel transfer hoses sufficient to reach from the barge's fuel access ports to the fuel trucks on the pier.
• Provide documentation of all required bonding and insurance for transport of bulk fuels per USCG requirements.
• Purchase necessary insurance.
DELIVERY AND PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
Based on the requested service being the delivery of one load of fuel, the Period of Performance will be 30 days but is expected to take only 16-22 days depending on point of fuel delivery, average speed during transport, time required for fuel upload and offload, and the home port of Contractor.
The work shall be accepted when fuel deliver and offload is completed as described here within and in accordance with any contract specifications. Fuel will be tested by the Client on receipt to assure quality, but quality control will still be the responsibility of the Contractor.
GOVERNMENT FURNISHED EQUIPMENT OR MATERIALS/INFORMATION
The Client's BOSS contractor will assist the Client in offloading and deploying the fuel pump, attaching fuel transfer hoses, and conducting fuel offload operations. The Client will provide a pier safety manager to oversee all operations.
AVAILABILITY
The Client requests the earliest delivery possible. However, the best weather conditions within the Monument, and thus the least likelihood for delays, occur from April through October. Docking and fuel offloading operations shall be performed during normal duty hours (8:00 am to 4:00 pm) unless prearranged with the Refuge Manager. Federal holidays not included.
