Quick Summary
The Department of the Navy / NAVFACSYSCOM ATLANTIC is soliciting proposals for P919 - Phase I, Bulk Fuel Tank Farm Improvements at Naval Station Rota, Spain. This project involves the construction of new fuel storage infrastructure and associated pipelines. The estimated magnitude of construction is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000. Proposals are due April 23, 2026.
Scope of Work
This project encompasses the construction of two new 50,000-barrel "cut-and-cover" fuel tanks, each with a dedicated pump vault and associated pumping equipment, supported by a standby generator. The scope also includes extensive site and civil work, removal of out-of-service piping, and HazMat surveying and testing. A new 18-inch diameter fuel pipeline with metering will be installed to transport fuel from Pier 3 to the Bulk Tank Farm, utilizing Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) for rerouting under the Rio Salado River. A cathodic protection system for both tanks and pipelines, along with comprehensive electrical utilities (distribution, communications, site lighting, lightning protection), are integral parts of the project. The F76 Fuel Line is confirmed to be within the Contractor's scope.
