STATEMENT OF WORK

Project: 503-25-104, Boiler Safety Project Location: Building 3, 1st Floor Boiler Room (As shown in the drawing package) Completion time from notice to proceed: 60 Days

Guarantee Period Services are not included.

Description:

This project will replace the existing safety valves/pressure relief valves in Building 3 boiler room as called out in the construction drawings. There are 8 total safety valves that will need removed and replaced per VA drawings and specifications. The new safety valves will be supplied to the contractor as government furnished equipment (GFE). Make and model of the new devices can be found in the drawing set. The new safety valves have a larger footprint than the existing, as well as require different connection methods, so some piping and fitting modifications will be necessary (i.e. existing SV’s are threaded connections, new are flanged. Vent stacks may also need shortened to accommodate the larger footprint). Provide additional supports to the piping system as/if necessary. Work for each safety valve should be coordinated with the VA COR 5 days in advance so any necessary shutdowns and startups can be planned and coordinated with Boiler Plant personnel.

Also, the drain lines that come off the pressure relief’s vent stack setup on the boilers and tie together need to be separated, and one of the lines per boiler will need to be extended down to the existing floor drain (3 total need extended, 1 inch lines, approximately 15’ of pipe/each boiler).

Areas that are currently insulated and are affected by this work will need to be reinsulated to match existing.

Perform all necessary inspections on welds, equipment, etc. and any testing as required (boiler hydrostatic testing, etc.) before turning the boilers back over to the VA.

If any additional piping needs relocated/rerouted to accommodate installations (gas lines,etc), this is to be included in the bid as well as any applicable finishes (insulation, painting, etc.)

Please refer to VHA Directive 1810 and Cast Iron Operational attached in this package. These specify the prohibited use of cast and malleable/ductile iron fittings, etc. in steam and condensate systems 15psi and above. All work to be performed in accordance with the Construction Specification and Drawings.

· Laborer
