2. There is an existing 4” valve on the discharge of the meters which then increases to 6”. We recommend this be cut back and increased to 6” not to have any restrictions in the line. The new gas meter and line is 6”. Please advise.

Answer: Pipe sizing must not affect the required pressure needed to operate the Laundry equipment. Contractor responsible for providing appropriate gas regulator if the existing regulator does not provide the required 5 PSIG.

Based on contacting the manufacturer and the utility company reference RFI response No. 2 above:

1. As per our conversation with NATGRID rep, the sketch VA has is supplying the facility line pressure. This line pressure is more than the facility requires at 5 psi. There is no regulator specified or on the schedule or drawings to drop down to the recommended 5 psi. It is normally the job of the utility to provide the gas inlet regulator to the site and then it is stepped down as necessary to the equipment. Contractor cannot now provide this regulator. It is normally supplied by the utility and installed as per utility spec by the contractor.

Answer: The contractor is responsible for providing the properly sized regulator to meet the Laundry’s gas demand and coordinating with National Grid.

1. In order to properly size the inlet regulator for the facility, we will also need the as built and design drawing for the gas distribution to the facility. We need to work with utility to safely size the regulator.

Answer: Available as-built drawings will be provided.

1. At this time we can give pricing for the current sketch and installation. If there are any additional regulators that are required an add alt will have to be addressed later.

Answer: The regulator cost must be added to the current bid.
