BOILER(S) / ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT

MAINTINANCE, INSPECTION, TESTING AND REPAIR

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

BROOKLYN VA MEDICAL CENTER

ST. ALBANS COMMUNITY LIVING CENTER

1. PURPOSE

Obtain maintenance and repair services, safety inspections and testing for Boilers at the Brooklyn VA Medical Center (“BK VAMC”), and St. Albans Community Living Center (“SA CLC”), referred to as the Government.

2. SCOPE OF WORK

2.1 The Contractor shall provide labor, parts, material, and tools, necessary to perform maintenance, repair, inspection, and testing, to maintain safe operations of Boiler Plant equipment and compliance with regulations and VHA Directives for Boilers.

2.2 Contractor shall perform annual, Semi-Annual and Quarterly inspection and testing services in accordance with applicable Federal Codes, Local and Veterans Health Administration (VHA) standards and directives to include but not limited to VHA DIRECTIVE 1810 (Attachment 1) and Boiler Safety Device Testing Manual latest edition (Attachment 2).

2.3 Inspection and testing shall include but not limited to the following:

Internal Inspections:

The contractor will examine all surfaces of the exposed metal on the waterside of the boiler for deposits caused by water treatment, scale, oil, and or other substances.

The smallest amount of oil is dangerous and immediate steps should be taken to clean the affected surfaces and prevent further contamination.

Any excessive scale or other deposits should be removed by chemical or mechanical means.

All stays, whether diagonal or through, will be examined by the contractor to determine whether or not they are in even tension. All fastened ends will be examined to determine whether cracks exist where the stays are punched or drilled for rivets or bolts. Stay or stay bolts which are not in tension or adjustment should be replaced.

The contractor will test firebox stay bolts by tapping one end of each bolt with a hammer (an unbroken bolt should give a ringing sound while a broken bolt will give a hollow sound).Stay bolts with telltale holes will be examined for evidence of leakage which will indicate a broken or cracked bolt. Broken stay bolts must be replaced.

The manhole and reinforcing plates, as well as nozzles or other connections flanged or screwed into the boiler, will be examined by the contractor for evidence of defects both internally and externally.

Contractor shall perform observation from the inside of the boiler as to whether connections are properly made to the boiler.

Contractor shall examine all openings leading to external attachments, such as water column connections, low water fuel cutoff devices, openings in dry pipes, and openings to safety valves to ensure they are free from obstruction.

The contractor shall observe whether any part of the boiler has become deformed during operation by bulging or blistering. If a bulge or blister is of such size as would seriously weaken the plate or tube, and especially when evidence of leakage is noted coming from those defects, the boiler should remain out of service until proper repairs are made. The blister area should be removed, the remaining thickness determined, and repairs made as required. A bulge on a water plate, if not extensive, may be driven back into place; otherwise the affected area should be patched.

The contractor shall examine areas where cracks are most likely to appear, such as at the ligaments between the tube holes on water tube boiler drums, between the tube holes on the tube sheet of fire tube boilers, from and between rivet holes, at any flange where there may be repeated flexing of the plate during operation, and around welded pipe and tube connections.

Where active corrosion is found, the contractor shall advise the Government representative to obtain competent advice regarding remedial action.

The contractor shall closely examine the exposed tube ends in the combustion space to determine if there has been a serious reduction in thickness.

The contractor shall make as thorough an examination as possible for pitting and corrosion on the waterside surfaces of the tubes. In vertical firetube boilers excessive corrosion and pitting is often noted at and above the water level.

Excessive scale on water surfaces should be removed before the boiler is placed back into service.

The surfaces of tubes will be carefully examined to detect corrosion, erosion, bulges, cracks, or any evidence of defective welds.

The contractor shall make a thorough examination of code piping to ensure that there is adequate provision for expansion and support. Steam and water piping and fittings shall be examined for evidence of leakage. Any leakage or other defects should be corrected (to avoid water hammer, the location of the various stop and drain valves should be such that water will not accumulate when the valves are closed).

The piping to the water column will be carefully noted by the contractor to ensure that water cannot accumulate in the steam connection. The position of the water column will be checked to determine that the column is placed in accordance with ASME Code requirements.

All automatic low water fuel cutoff and water feeding devices will be examined by the contractor to ensure that they are properly installed. The float chamber will be examined to ensure that it is free of sludge or other accumulation. Any necessary corrective action should be taken before the device is placed back into service. The contractor will check that the operating instructions for the devices are readily available.

Contractor shall examine safety and safety relief valves at each inspection. There should be no accumulation of rust, scale, or other foreign them at each inspection. There should be no accumulation of rust, scale, or other foreign substances in the valve body which will interfere with the free operation of the valve.

The contractor shall check the name plate of the safety or safety relief valves to verify that the set pressure is correct and the capacity is adequate. The contractor will also check that the set pressure and blowdown adjustments are properly sealed.

Boiler External/Operational Inspection:

External inspection of boilers shall be made in accordance with Part RB-3100 of the NBIC. The boiler shall be fired and brought up to operating pressure and temperature. All automatically and manually operated control devices provided for controlling the operation of the steam and pressure, hot water temperature, combustion, and boiler water level shall be inspected and caused to function under operating conditions. All associated valves and piping, pressure and temperature indicating devices, metering and recording devices, and all boiler auxiliaries shall be inspected under operating conditions.

Inspections and tests of boilers may be made with the main steam or hot water distribution valves closed or open, as necessary, to fire the boiler and operate it under normal operating conditions. Testing the function of automatically or manually controlled devices and apparatus that may interfere with the distribution requirements should be done with the main steam or hot water distribution valves closed, as applicable.

The operation of all firing equipment, including oil burners, gas burners, fuel injectors, fuel igniters, coal stokers and feeders, and other such equipment provided to introduce fuel into the boiler furnace and to ignite the fuel, shall be inspected for any deficiency that may be evidenced under operating conditions.

Inspect the operation of all controls directly associated with the operation of the boilers. Inspect the operation of combustion controls, steam pressure controls, water temperature controls, and feedwater controls. Make sure that the ability of the combustion control and steam pressure control to maintain proper steam pressure (or water temperature in high temperature water installations) and air-fuel ratio is demonstrated.

Check fully automatic boiler controls for the proper programming sequence and timing with respect to prepurge, ignition, pilot proving, flame proving, and post-purge periods. Check the operation of flame failure and combustion air failure devices to ensure that they properly shut-off the supply of fuel.

While the boiler is operating, examine all steam and water pipes up to the jurisdictional limits of the ASME boiler code, including connections to the water columns and all associated piping, for leaks, and if any are found, determine whether they are the result of excessive strains due to expansion or contraction or other causes. Look for undue vibration, particularly in piping connections to the boiler.

All temperature indicating devices shall be observed for indications of excessive temperatures, particularly during and immediately following the time when high load demands are made on the boiler.

Test the freedom of each blow-off valve and its connections by opening the valve and blowing off the boiler for a few seconds. Determine whether the valve is excessively worn or otherwise defective and whether there is evidence of restrictions in the valve or connected piping preventing proper blow off of the boiler.

Unfired Pressure Vessel Inspection:

Internal inspections of UPVs shall be made in accordance with Part RB-2030 & RB-3200 of the

NBIC.

The contractor shall check that all valves are suitable marked to meet the requirements of the applicable Code and service conditions.

Contractor shall check that the markings on rupture disks meet the requirements of the applicable Code and service conditions.

Contractor shall thoroughly examine the vessel for the following types of corrosion:

(1) Shallow, isolated, scattered pitting over a small area does not substantially weaken the vessel. It could, however, eventually cause leakage and, if possible, steps should be taken to eliminate the cause or treat the condition by protective coating.

(2) This is a condition where pits are connected, or nearly connected, to each other in a narrow band or line. Line corrosion frequently occurs in the area of intersection of the support skirt and the bottom of the vessel or liquid-vapor interface.

(3) This is corrosion which covers a considerable area of the vessel. When this occurs, consideration must be given to the safe working pressure of the vessel which is directly related to the remaining material thickness. Every effort must be made by the customer to determine the remaining thickness of sound base material by using NDE methods such as ultrasonic testing or by drilling. The continued safe working pressure should be based on the findings.

(4) This type of corrosion is a form of metal deterioration caused by localized corrosion and stress concentration. Grooving may be found adjacent to riveting lap joints and welds and on flanged surfaces, particularly the flanges of unstayed heads.

Contractor shall check for dents and recommend repairs as necessary.

Contractor shall check for cuts and gouges and recommend repairs as necessary.

All openings leading to any external fittings or controls will be examined as thoroughly as possible by the contractor to ensure they are free from obstruction.

External inspections of UPVs shall be made in accordance with Part RB-3200 of the NBIC.

Safety Valves Maintenance:

All safety valves installed on boilers, and Deaerator tank to be inspected, bench tested, calibrated, and certified. In addition flanges and piping to be inspected as well.
