The contractor was also responsible for replacing all associated piping, valves, and fuel leak detection systems, and providing a temporary fuel storage tank during the replacement period. All design work had to comply with VA Design Guides and Criteria, VA Master Specifications, and applicable codes such as IBC, NFPA, and OSHA.
