RS&H Provided Services
RS&H provided Scope of Services (Design through Bidding) RS&H California, Inc. (RS&H) will act in its capacity as Merced-Yosemite Regional Airport’s On- Call Planning, Engineering, and Environmental Consultant to contract with Argus Consulting, Inc. (Argus) for Argus to provide design and bid phase services for a new Above Ground Storage Tank (AST) and fueling system and decommissioning/abandonment of the existing Underground Storage Tank (UST) and fueling system at Merced-Yosemite Regional Airport.

Argus will be the Engineer of Record and solely responsible for all aspects of the design and bid phase effort as set forth in Attachment 3 – Argus provided Design and Bid Phase Services. RS&H and Argus will provide proposals for construction phase services once the design has progressed to the 90% design level, if requested by the City of Merced. RS&H will provide the following non-technical services to facilitate the project for the Airport.

Task 1 - Project Management and Coordination
RS&H will make monthly progress reports to the City of Merced’s project manager during the duration of the project. RS&H shall manage the project in a professional manner and will assign qualified individuals or subconsultants to the project. The monthly progress reports will include a written description of each task identified within the contracted scope of services as of the date of the progress report. The progress reports will also include a monthly invoice for professional services.

RS&H will participate in the following Design and Bid Phase meetings:
• Project Kick-off Meeting – Site Visit
• Monthly Client coordination meetings - Virtual
• Issued for Review (65%) Submittal – Owner Comments – Virtual • Issued for Review (90%) Submittal – Owner Comments – Virtual • Issued for Review (100%) Submittal – Virtual
• Pre-Bid Conference – Site Visit
Total Design and Bid Phase Trips = 2

Additional site visits, beyond the aforementioned list, at the request of the City of Merced, will be on a time and materials basis and RS&H shall be compensated accordingly.

Task 2 - Additional Quality Control Review

RS&H shall conduct an in-house quality control review of Argus’s 65% and 90% deliverables prior to submittal to the City of Merced. The elements include a high-level review of design Attachment 1 - RS&H provided Scope of Services
RS&H Provided Services
plans and specifications RS&H associates who are technical experts in civil, electrical mechanical, and structural engineering. RS&H will also review Argus’s internal quality control efforts to assure quality reviews were undertaken.

Task 3 – Environmental NEPA CATEX and CEQA NOE
Because federal funding will be used, compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is required. RS&H assumes that Section 743 documentation will not be required by the FAA prior to NEPA compliance, and the FAA will retain NEPA approval authority. Additionally, as a project or action proposed by a public agency in California, compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is required. RS&H assumes that the appropriate level of NEPA documentation is a Documented Categorical Exclusion (CATEX) and the appropriate level of CEQA documentation is a Notice of Exemption (NOE).

Task 3.1 – NEPA CATEX
The scope of services for the Documented CATEX complies with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, and FAA Order 5050.4B, NEPA Implementing Instructions for Airport Actions.

RS&H shall identify the paragraph in Chapter 5 of FAA Order 1050.1F that most allows a Documented CATEX as the appropriate format for compliance with NEPA. In accordance with Section 5-2 of FAA Order 1050.1F, RS&H will examine the Proposed Project relative potential “extraordinary circumstances.”
RS&H will prepare a draft Documented CATEX, based on the checklist in the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) No. 5.1 adopted by the FAA on June 2, 2017. If the analysis shows that extraordinary circumstances with significant environmental effects would occur with the implementation of the Proposed Project, RS&H will notify MCE and the FAA that an Environmental Assessment (EA) will be required. If this occurs, a separate scope of services and fee proposal will be prepared for Airport review and approval. RS&H assumes that no resource- specific technical reports/studies will be required by the FAA.

Task 3.2 – CEQA NOE
The scope of services for the CEQA documentation complies with Public Resources Code 21000–21189 and the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Sections 15000–15387).

RS&H will prepare a CEQA NOE form, for review and approval by MCE. As an existing facility, RS&H believes that an NOE is the appropriate level of documentation under Existing Facilities (Class 1). The environmental documentation will be prepared in conformance with the City’s CEQA procedures and the CEQA Guidelines and will include supporting information based on Attachment 1 - RS&H provided Scope of Services

RE: Proposal for Professional Engineering Services – DESIGN SERVICES Merced Regional Airport (KMCE)
Merced, CA
New Aviation Fuel Bulk Storage and Loading/Unloading Facility Argus Proposal No. 20221004 – REV 2

Dear Mr. Leung,

We appreciate the opportunity to provide this proposal for professional engineering services for the design/bidding phase for a new fuel storage and bulk loading/unloading system at Merced Regional Airport (KMCE) to better serve the aviation community and airport tenants. At Argus, we strive to be recognized as the trusted leader in the planning, engineering, and management of fuel handling systems.

With over 30 years of experience in aviation fuel systems across the country and specialized expertise in civil, mechanical, electrical, controls, and environmental engineering, we can certainly add value to the future project.

This proposal is based upon our current understanding of the project and can be revised following further discussion or after the kickoff meeting . For the purpose of this proposal :
• Argus Consulting will be referred to as the “Engineer” • The Airport or City will be referred to as the “Owner ,” and • RS&H will be referred to as the “Client.”
It has been assumed that the project will be primarily controlled by the Client, the Client is contracted with the Owner, Argus will be directly contracted with the Client, and all communication will follow that protocol.

OVERALL SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
We understand the Owner is interested in constructing a new fuel facility to replace their existing system(s). The following represents our understanding of the project scope.

A. The airport wishes to install a new aviation fuel “bulk” storage facility to support JET -A fuel. A similar system for other fuel types (AVGAS 100LL) is not a part of this scope.

B. For the anticipated fuel storage, one (1) 12,000-gallon JET-A tank is proposed. The tank will be double walled (UL-2085).

Typical Aboveground Storage Tank
C. The proposed facility shall utilize combined bulk loading/unloading/recirculation pump and filter skids which serve to unload the over-the-road (OTR) transport delivery trucks, load refueler vehicles and allow for recirculation of the system or tank-to-tank transfer in the event of multiple tanks.

D. The tanks will be configured to allow the transport delivery truck to deliver fuel directly into the tank. The new facility will be provided with an independent 400 gpm “bulk” loading/unloading and recirculation skid. At a minimum the skid will include a pump, filtration , static relaxation chamber, meter, flow computer, overfill prevention and grounding verification, loading hoses, control valve and other associated mechanical equipment. Th e skid will be used to off load transport delivery trucks, re -circulate fuel within the system to filter the fuel if desired, and to load refueler trucks.

Typical Bulk Loading, Unloading and Recirculation Skid
E. It is anticipated that the new fuel facility will be comprised of all aboveground equipment, infrastructure, and tanks. This reduces the need for additional environmental obstacles/operations and cathodic protection system costs.

M:\Proposals\2023 Proposals\West\20231210.00 - MCE Merced Regional Fuel Farm Design\Proposal\REV-1 2023 Updates\KMCE - Merced Regional Airport Fuel System Proposal - Design Phase REV2.docx F. The new tank and “bulk” loading/unloading skid will be placed on a curbed concrete containment pads which will provide for “general” containment of the piping as required by the EPA 40 CFR Part 112 SPCC regulations. The tanks themselves will be double walled, which provides for stand-alone secondary containment.

G. The bulk loading and unloading skid will be provided with a canopy to protect the equipment and operators from the elements.

H. The JET-A system will be provided with truck loading/unloading “sized” containment system to meet EPA 40 CFR Part 112 SPCC regulations. This will include a “drive-in” curbed containment pad, remote containment basin for impounding, underground containment piping and pump out capabilities. The refueler loading position can also serve as a contained parking position for the trucks when not in use.

I. Provide electrical power and communications to the new system. It is assumed that sufficient electrical power (3-phase) is available at the airport and adjacent to the preferred location. Power supply to the proposed facility site will be designed and provided by Engineer but will require some coordination with the Client/Owner.

J. A new Emergency Fuel Shutoff (EFSO) system will be provided that typically trips all power to the new fuel system only when activated.

K. An automatic tank gauging and electronic monitoring system for liquid levels will be incorporated with outputs that can be observed from the adjacent electrical rack L. New overhead lighting will be incorporated throughout the site and incorporated into the equipment canopies for the bulk loading/unloading, tank access platform, etc. Additional overhead site lighting will be provided by Engineer (if requested) to provide sufficient illumination of the tank area and loading/unloading operations.

M. It is assumed that no significant fire protection is required at the new tank facility, other than skid mounted fire extinguishers, and therefore additional fire protection aspects of the program is not anticipated.

N. A survey of the site will be completed by the Engineer or by subconsultant compensated by the Engineer. The Engineer is responsible for establishing or providing all property limits, overall property site topo features, architectural structures, survey control and benchmarks, etc. The survey shall provide an accurate representation of the proposed location as well as collection of Attachment 3 - Argus provided Design and Bid Phase Services Merced Regional Airport – DESIGN SERVICES

The survey generated background file(s) shall be converted for use in AutoCAD version 2020 or newer and provided by the Engineer. All visual utilities and surface features within the project area will be surveyed. The survey will be conducted and set up on a real world or arbitrary site-specific coordinate and elevation system.

O. It has been assumed that this project will be a stand -alone construction package and will not be combined with any other work, thus the construction drawings will be set up using the Engineer’s CAD standards, borders, pen tables, etc.

P. The technical specification will be written and prepared by the Engineer and will cover all equipment and materials required for this project. All front end documents including the general conditions, special conditions, contract, bid forms, etc. will be pr epared by the Owner. The Engineer will provide front end specifications for compliance submittals, RFI’s and close -out submittals.

Q. Decommission and demolish the existing fuel facilit ies, including underground storage tanks, aboveground piping, equipment, infrastructure, and buildings.

Texas Department of Transportation – Aviation Division
General Aviation Fuel System Standards Development

In 2010, Argus Consulting was retained by TXDOT to develop the General Aviation Fueling Standards for use at the nearly 300 General Aviation airports across Texas. These standards included a complete code analysis and preparation of standard drawings and specifications for fuel storage, transport unloading, refueler loading, and direct into plane dispensing facilities. To date, Argus has site adapted these standards at seven locations, including:

Cleveland Municipal Airport,
Hearne Municipal Airport,
Victoria Regional Airport,
Van Zandt County Regional Airport,
Houston County Airport,
Sulphur Springs Municipal Airport, and
Lancaster Municipal Airport.

These projects included fuel storage tanks ranging from 6,000 gallons to 20,000 gallons for both Jet-A and 100 LL Avgas.

The facilities included 200 gpm bulk unloading/loading/recirculation pump and filtration skids as well as 30 gpm over-wing dispensing skids with integral credit card reader to provide 24-hour unattended fueling operations. The process at each site began with a site survey and preparation of a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) which included a site layout, cost estimate, and code analysis. Once the PER was complete, the airport authorities had a clear understanding of the cost of the system as well as a general site layout. Once the PER was approved, the development of the bid package including detailed design drawings and specification was prepared and submitted to TXDOT for advertisement to bid.
