The facility utilized for pipeline shipments to Bagram Air Base must also be able to receive/issue TS-1 by tank truck. The scope of this request is for information only. DLA Energy requests that respondents provide the best estimated prices as this information will be used to determine future solicitations. All prices requested are for informational purposes only.

Metering: Product will be metered at the tie-in point by a contractor-provided meter capable of recalibration, reset, and register in U.S. gallons. Reserve Storage Requirement: In addition to operational storage needs to meet the pipeline delivery requirements, 2,500,000 US gallons of reserve storage of TS-1 is required to ensure continued pipeline delivery during any short-term interruptions in product resupply to the shipping facility. For evaluation purposes, tankage will be converted from US gallons to barrels.
