• Removal and Decommissioning: Safely decommission existing electrical components and remove approximately 75 linear feet of existing flexible fuel piping. Dispose of materials according to environmental regulations.

• Installation of Electrical Components: Install new components including an Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG), leak detection probe, and remote communication unit. Install an electrical disconnect sleeve.

• Fuel Piping Installation: Install approximately 130 linear feet of marina-grade, UL-listed fuel piping, including two fuel line disconnects (at the sump and access stairs). Ensure proper support, protection, and labeling.

• Testing and Commissioning: Test the fuel system for leak detection, electrical and communication system performance, and proper fuel flow. Correct any identified deficiencies.

• Site Restoration: Restore disturbed areas and remove all debris and equipment.

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document provides a template for reporting on the "Limitations on Subcontracting" clause, which is a requirement for government contracts. It is designed to help contractors track and report the amount of work performed by their subcontractors relative to the total contract value.

• Contract Information: Fields for Contract Number (PIID), Type of Set Aside, and Total Contract Value.
• Performance Period: Dates for which the report is applicable.
• Subcontractor Tracking: Sections to detail amounts paid to "Similarly Situated Subcontractors" (SSS) and "Non-Similarly Situated Subcontractors" (NSS).
• Calculation: A formula is provided to calculate the "Limitation on Subcontracting Percentage." (Note: The provided text shows #DIV/0! indicating the calculation is not yet populated).
• Task Order Structure: A separate sheet provides a similar template structured for tracking these limitations on a per-task-order basis for Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs).

Bidders should use this template to understand how their subcontracting performance will be measured and reported. It highlights the importance of tracking payments to different types of subcontractors (SSS vs. NSS) to ensure compliance with the subcontracting limitations stipulated in the contract. This template will likely be required for submission at various points during contract performance.
