About this file
This document is Exhibit H of the BARC EPSS (Generator/ATS/MTS) Maintenance and Repair IDIQ contract for the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (BARC), USDA-ARS in Beltsville, Maryland. It presents the NFPA 110-2022 suggested maintenance schedule for Emergency Power Supply Systems (EPSS).
The schedule establishes maintenance frequencies across two compliance levels (Level 1 and Level 2) for multiple EPSS component categories: Fuel System, Lubrication System, Cooling System, Exhaust System, Battery System, Electrical System, Prime Mover (Engine), Generator End, General Condition, and Automatic Transfer Switch. Maintenance actions are identified through visual inspection, checking, changing, cleaning, and testing, with frequencies designated as Weekly (W), Monthly (M), Quarterly (Q), Semi-Annual (S), or Annually (A). Specific components require attention at defined intervals; for example, oil changes occur at 50 hours or annually, while certain inspections such as wire insulation breakdown testing occur every 5 years or 500 hours, and valve clearance checks occur every 3 years or 500 hours. The schedule distinguishes between action items (marked X) and replacement requirements (marked R, if needed), providing contractors with comprehensive guidance for maintaining EPSS equipment at the facility to ensure operational readiness and compliance with NFPA 110 standards.
