Quick Summary
The U.S. Coast Guard Base Astoria is soliciting proposals for the replacement of a deadman valve and switch at its aviation fuel farm in Warrenton, OR.

Scope of Work

- Replacement: Installation of a new deadman valve and a compatible pneumatic deadman switch system. The new deadman valve must be an identical or equivalent model to the existing 3" diameter OCV Control Valves model 114-3, meeting or exceeding its performance.
