Questions and Answers Submitted in Response to 36C24425Q0529 – Boiler Preventative Maintenance Services Pittsburgh VA Healthcare System

1) Could you please provide additional details or confirm the date and any relevant instructions for the site visit?

A site visit is being planned at both VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System locations so interested parties can view the entire boiler system requiring maintenance. Any offerors interested in attending the site visit must register by sending an email requesting attendance to Eric Christy at Eric.Christy@va.gov before Monday, May 5th 2025 at 12:00pm Eastern. Any offerors who do not register for the site visit before the deadline may be excluded from attendance. Site visit attendance instructions will be provided to all registered attendees. Attending the site visit is not mandatory or required to be eligible for submitting a quote.

The site visits are planned for Wednesday, May 7th 2025:

a) VAPHS Main Hospital, University Drive Campus University Drive C, Pittsburgh, PA 15240 9:00 AM Eastern

b) VAPHS, H.J. Heinz Campus, Community Living Center, Ambulatory Care Center 1010 Delafield Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15216 12:30 PM Eastern

2) Model #s for: Main Campus Boilers (B1, B2) rated for 25,000lbs/hr.; Boiler (B3) rated for 15,000lbs/hr.

Boiler #1 Model# WB-1-18 Serial# 92105-1

Boiler #2 Model# WB-1-18 Serial # 92105-2

Boiler #3 Model# WB-1-14.5 Serial# 92107

3) When was the last Non-Destructive Testing done on the DA Tank? When will the site want it done?

Nondestructive testing for DA tank is required every 6 years the last testing was conducted in July of 2024. The DA NDT is due before July of 2030 which will be the final option year of the contract.

4) Will the site provide replacement gaskets? Will they need to be replaced during inspection or during another contract or in-house cleaning?

The VA Boiler Plant Operators will perform shut down, cool down, LOTO, opening cleaning and closing of DA tank. The contractor is responsible for all safe entry into the tank and the site prep of welds and tank surfaces for NDT testing procedures. This applies to both sites UD and Heinz. All safety device testing on the DA tanks will be performed post the NDT and inspections. The VA will provide and replace gaskets.

5) Does the service technician need to be onsite for every "as needed" and "no costs" diagnostic or troubleshooting instance? Will we be able to "tele-troubleshoot" the issue before going onsite?

If a normal or emergency service is requested the plant operators have exhausted their diagnostic abilities. Yes, when called out for service technician is required to be on site for troubleshooting and repair there is no scenario where the service be provided over the phone.

6) Will there be any limits on the "as needed" and "no costs" diagnostic and troubleshooting of the entire plant? As written, this could be a diagnostic or troubleshooting visit 365 times a year, or more if something happens 4 hours after a technician leaves the site.

The Equipment Evaluation and Emergency Equipment Evaluation (Sections 10.2 and 11.2 of the Statement of Work) are intended to be used for deficiencies identified during inspections, testing, calibration, tuning, or through equipment failure as stated in Sections 10.1 and 11.1. A service technician will already be on site if deficiencies are identified during contractor inspections, testing, calibrations, or tuning of the equipment. The contractor will be required to provide diagnostic and troubleshooting (including an estimate for repairs) as needed for any equipment failure or malfunction. There are no limits for use of the evaluations covered under those sections.

The VA Boiler Plant Operators have estimated use of these procedures 2-3 times per year based on previous needs, but previous usage does not guarantee the future needs or potential malfunctions of the boiler equipment.
