B.2 STATEMENT OF WORK

Boiler Efficiency Institute(BEI) Deficiency Repairs at the Stratton VAMC Albany NY

A. Introduction – Stratton VAMC’s mission is to provide world class healthcare for veterans in the capital region and upstate New York.

B. Background /Objective –The Stratton VA Medical Center 113 Holland Ave, Albany NY is currently seeking a contract to address several deficiencies found in our Boiler Plant during the BEI safety inspection conducted earlier this year.

C. Place of Performance – Stratton VAMC Building 4 (Boiler Plant)

D. Period of Performance – Work to commence within 10 days of notice to proceed.

Work will be accomplished between 7 AM and 430 PM Mon-Fri and should not interfere with the operation of the Boiler Plant.

E. Scope of Work – Correct Safety Device deficiencies from device testing results found during the Boiler Efficiency Institute testing of #2 Trane high pressure water tube Boiler to verify compliance to the VHA Directive 1810 and Compliance to the Boiler Institute Efficiency Required Inspections and Operational Tests.

1. Contractor will furnish all parts and labor to calibrate and verify operation of following devices on Boilers #1, #2, and #3.

a. 5.5.8 Combustion Air Pressure Switch - Comments: Fail installation/setpoint – Plumbed fan out to atmosphere. Must be plumbed across fan inlet to outlet between any dampers. No lockable only open isolation valve in place for testing. Add valve. Add low pressure leg. Setpoint too low.

Fan turndown to 19 hz not allowing CAPS switch to be properly set. Fan turndown is too low. Minimum delta P is around 1 inch wc which is less than the 35% allowable.

Fan turndown must be set such that minimum delta P is 43% of the maximum delta P.

This will equate to a minimum speed of approx. 33Hz. Boiler will have to be retuned upon achieving proper setup.

b. 5.5.13 Liquid Relief Valve on Economizer- Comments: Not able to be tested. Valves leaked by and no hydro pump.

c. 5.4.3 Low Oil Atomizing Media Pressure-

Comments: Fail installation/setpoint- Switch is plumbed downstream of differential pressure regulator. VA requires switch to be upstream of differential pressure regulator and be set at 80% of regulated atomizing media pressure.

d. 5.3.7 Pilot Gas Train Solenoid Vent Valve- Comments: Fail installation- No leaks, open when boiler is offline. Manual valve downstream of vent valve must be lockable only in open position.

e. 5.3.6 Automatic Gas Pilot Shut Off Valves- Comments: Fail Installation- No Test port between ASCO valves. Add test port per 7th edition.

f. 5.3.1 Low Pressure Gas Cutoff Switch- Comments: Fail Installation- No isolation valve in place. Plumb per 7th edition and add isolation valve lockable only in open position. Setpoint and logic is ok.

Activated at 6 psig.

g. 5.2.3 High-High Steam Pressure Limit Switch- Comments: Fail Logic and Setpoint- High-High cutout activated at 137 psig and is a manual reset switch, but not manual reset at the BMS. Setpoint too close to High Boiler Steam Pressure Limit Switch.

h. 5.2.1 Steam Safety Valves Material of Construction- Comments: Fail Installation -SV1 – 149 psig lift and reseat at 142 psig. SV2 lifted at 150 and reseated at 145 psig. Max pressure 150 psig. Vents adequate.

Valve is cast iron construction. Cast iron is not allowed in systems exposed to 15 psig steam or greater. Valves must be cast steel per VA master specification and design alert.

i. 5.1.2 Aux Low Water Cutoff Shunt- Comments: Fail Installation- No independent shunt installed. Probe cutout activated with approx. 4.5 in of water in the sight glass. Boiler shut down and locked out properly.

j. 4.12 Control Air Pressure Alarm- Comments: Fail installation- Device is located upstream of all control regulators. VA requires alarm to be downstream of any final control regulator.

k. 4.11 Oil Liquid Relief Valve Pump Set- Comments: Fail installation – Valves are not plumbed for testing. There is no pressure gage at relief valve location or test port. The system does not utilize a back pressure regulator. There is no visual flow indication.

l. 5.5.15 Boiler Outlet (Stack) Damper Interlock- Comments: Fail logic- Switch has no effect on control circuit. Wire switch into D-8 if damper modulates. If no modulation wire damper into 3-P. Damper currently does not move, stays in wide open position continually but is not mechanically constrained.

m. 5.5.12 Low Flue Gas Oxygen Alarm and Cutout- Comments: Fail installation/logic- No provision for testing. No test gas. No tuning data.

No way to access air fuel controller to decrease air damper position. Setpoint is set at 1%. No effect on system when circuit was checked. Unclear if boiler is actually getting O2 signal from hays Cleveland box or from preferred pcc 3.

n. 5.5.9 Pre-Purge Airflow Proving Switch- Comments: Fail installation – No lockable only open isolation valve is installed. Install valve to facilitate testing. Setpoint is too low. Increase PAPS setpoint to within 80% of maximum delta P at purge. Circuit is Good.

o. 5.5.6 Low-Fire Proving Switches- Comments: Fail Setpoint Air – (Gas SP 8%, Air SP >20%, Oil SP-6%.

Mechanical OK on all three.) Air setpoint is too high. Circuit is good on all three.

p. 5.4.7 Burner Position Switch- Comments: Fail logic- Switch prevents atomizing solenoid from receiving power and opening causing the boiler to trip on low atomizing media pressure. Switch must be wired into L1-3 circuit to prevent boiler from starting purge.

q. 5.4.2 High Pressure Oil Fuel Cutoff Switch (HPFCS)- Comments: Fail logic -Installation, Setpoint. Annunciation is low oil pressure. Improper annunciation.

r. 5.1 Low Water Cutoff (LWCO)- Comments: Fail Installation- No independent comment section. Probe cutout activated with 6 inches of water in the sight glass. Boiler shutdown and locked out properly.

s. 4.14 High Fuel Gas Pressure Alarm- Comments: Fail installation / setpoint- Isolation valve is not lockable only open and no annunciation of failure. Shut main natural gas automatic shutoff valve. Regulated gas pressure is 10 psig. Device activated at 15 psig. Device must be set to activate no higher than 120% of regulated pressure.

t. 5.5.11 Min Pilot Flame Test & Low Pilot Gas Press SW- Comments: Switch is wired in series with power to pilot valves. “Must” be in the P-3 running interlock. Switches activate at proper setpoint.

2. Contractor will ensure all items are addressed by a qualified Boiler Controls technician with knowledge and experience of the VHA Directive 1810, BEI testing as well as the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Codes and standards. All devices must be in compliance with VHA directive 1810 and BEI 7th edition for boiler safety device testing manual.

3. Contractor will test the functionality of the equipment upon completion of repair. If this is a test for repair, the Test should ensure that damaged parts have been successfully repaired and all functions including, but not limited to those related to repaired parts, are operational.

F. Delivery Schedule or Deliverables – Contractor will document all repairs, calibrations and boiler tuning on separate documents correlating to each boiler using calibration sheets, work orders or tickets with a final report verifying the nine line items are complete for each boiler. Documents will be on paper format and sent to the Boiler plant representatives electronically.
