The Alaska Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development is accepting bids for a bulk fuel storage upgrade project in Tuluksak, a Yup'ik village of about 400 people on the lower Kuskokwim River.

The project will install new aboveground fuel storage tanks, steel containment dikes, fuel dispensing systems, and related electrical work on a new gravel pad. The work is funded through a combination of state and federal money from the Environmental Protection Agency.
