About this file
This document is a Request for Information (RFI) response for a Department of Veterans Affairs project to correct Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) deficiencies in the boiler plant of Building #14, solicitation number 36C24725R0071. The RFI responses cover critical technical details including requirements for temporary rental boilers, which must be equipped with specific safety devices compliant with NFPA 85 and ASME standards, and require comprehensive documentation of safety device testing.
Additional RFI responses address specific project details such as door hardware compatibility with a new Medeco system, stair tread specifications for Stairs 1 and 2, and clarifications about temporary boiler placement and duration. The contractor will need to provide detailed documentation for boiler safety devices, including device names, manufacturers, model numbers, serial numbers, set points, and monthly testing procedures. The VA emphasizes that temporary boilers must remain in place until new boilers are accepted and approved, though no definitive timeline was provided for the transition period.

| Response |
28) Rental boilers (regardless of supplier) are not equipped or set up to maintain the stringent requirements of the VA Safety Device Testing Manual. This will require a very costly retrofit of the boiler safety controls as well as system modifications to each rental unit (of which some rental firms will not allow these modifications). Please confirm the Government will still require these modifications to the rental boiler systems.
At a minimum, the temporary rental boiler provided by the contractor must be equipped with all safety devices required by NFPA 85 and ASME. Contractor to provide a spreadsheet identifying all boiler safety devices on the proposed boiler including device name, manufacturer, model, serial number, and set points. For all safety devices on the temporary boiler, the Contractor will provide written safety device test records including the specific written testing procedure for each device for review and approval and set points for each device. Contractor to provide detailed written test results for VA review and approval prior to placing the boiler in service to provide steam to the facility. The contractor shall be responsible for performing and documenting all safety device testing on a monthly schedule unless otherwise approved. VA staff will not test the devices on the rental boiler.

| 37) Will the doors be keyed into the new Medeco System for the door locks? Please advise. |
| Yes. Please provide hardware to work with the new Medeco System. |
| 38) Are Stairs 1 & 2 getting resilient stair treads? The finish schedule shows existing on the above-named project. |
| 1. Stair #1 is existing and is to remain as is. To be protected from all demolition/construction activities by contractor's forces. |
2. Stair #2 is a new stair. Per structure, treads are bar grating and specified on s002. See attached room finish schedule revised to reflect current structural drawings for clarification.
3. No resilient treads are needed unless damaged at stair #1. Then replaced at contractor's expense.
| 39) How many days does the temporary boilers need to be up and running before the existing boilers can be taken offline for demolition? |
| The boiler will need to remain in place until the new boiler have accepted and approved. We are unable to provide a definite timeline. |
| 40) How long will the temporary boilers need to be in place? |
| The boiler will need to remain in place until the new boiler have accepted and approved. We are unable to provide a definite timeline. |
| 41) How long after the new system is online will the temporary boilers need to stay online and in place? |
| The boiler will need to remain in place until the new boiler have accepted and approved. We are unable to provide a definite timeline. |
| 42) How long after the temporary boilers are removed does the trailer need to stay? |
| The boiler will need to remain in place until the new boiler have accepted and approved. We are unable to provide a definite timeline. |
| 43) Spec Section 087100 do not seem to contain Door Hardware for Door 201 & 202. They have 3 Hardware Sets that are for bathroom Doors or a locker room, but Doors 201 & 202 are Boiler Manager and Operator Rooms. Where can we find the Hardware Spec for these doors? |
