SCOPE OF WORK (SOW)

LCHCC Chiller and Heat Pump Butterfly Valve Replacement

Lee County Health Care Clinic (LCHCC) requires the contractor to provide all labor, materials, equipment, procedures, and safety measures necessary to remove and replace four (4) existing butterfly valves with new like-in-kind or equivalent valves rated at 300 PSI / 20 BAR.

The existing valves are Victaulic MasterSeal Series 300MS butterfly valves, which feature ductile-iron bodies, blow-out-proof stainless-steel stems, nickel-coated ductile-iron discs, and grooved-end connections compatible with the existing Victaulic coupling system. These valves are designed for bidirectional flow, dead-end service, and are suitable for chilled-water and heat-pump system applications supporting the clinic's operating systems.

For the purposes of this requirement, a like-in-kind or equivalent valve is one that meets or exceeds all specified performance and functional characteristics of the existing valve, including, but not limited to, the 300 PSI / 20 BAR pressure rating, materials of construction, end connection type, dimensional compatibility, bidirectional flow capability, dead-end service capability, suitability for chilled-water and heat-pump applications, and compatibility with the existing piping and Victaulic coupling system. Any proposed equivalent valve shall not require modification to the existing piping or system configuration to achieve proper installation and operation. The Government will determine the acceptability of any proposed equivalent valve based on the contractor's submitted manufacturer product data and documentation demonstrating compliance with these requirements.

The work includes replacing one (1) 8‑inch valve on Chiller No. 1 and three (3) 6‑inch valves on the heat pump system.

The work involves coordinated mechanical shutdowns, system isolation, draining and refilling of equipment, and restoration of full HVAC operations. The contractor shall coordinate all shutdown activities with the FMS COR at least 48 hours in advance and shall not proceed until authorized by the Government.

General Requirements The contractor shall adhere to the following general requirements while performing the valve replacement work at Lee County Health Care Clinic (LCHCC):

1. Coordination of Work All work shall be coordinated with the Veterans Affairs (VA) Facilities Management team to ensure proper scheduling and system readiness.

2. Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Compliance The contractor shall develop and submit a Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) plan for approval in accordance with Bay Pines Safety Requirements prior to beginning mechanical work.

3. Zero-Energy Verification For safety, the contractor must verify zero-energy state on all affected equipment prior to performing any mechanical disassembly.

4. Inspection of Adjacent Components The contractor shall inspect adjoining piping, Victaulic couplings, gaskets, and grooved ends for wear or corrosion. Any identified deficiencies shall be promptly reported to the Facility Management Systems (FMS) Contracting Officer Representative (COR). No corrective work beyond the scope of this contract shall be performed unless authorized in writing by the Contracting Officer.

5. System Restoration Under VA Supervision Chillers, pumps, and heat pump systems shall be brought back online only under VA supervision.

6. Startup Monitoring The contractor shall monitor flow, temperature differential, and valve performance during system startup to verify proper operation.

7. Compliance with Specifications and Set Points All work performed and associated testing shall comply with manufacturer specifications and established FMS set points.

8. Deliverables – Product Data and Test Reports The contractor shall provide all manufacturer product data sheets, manufacturer's warranties, and final test reports upon completion of the project. For any approved like-in-kind or equivalent valve, the contractor shall provide manufacturer documentation demonstrating compliance with all applicable Statement of Work requirements.

9. Disposal of Removed Materials The contractor is responsible for the legal and proper disposal of all removed materials generated during the project.

10. Protection of Government Property Any damage to Government property caused by the contractor shall be repaired at no cost to the Government.

11. Contractor Personnel Requirements Contractor personnel shall wear appropriate work attire or uniforms and maintain proper identification badges at all times while on VA premises.

12. Safety and OSHA Compliance All work shall be performed in a safe manner and in full compliance with applicable OSHA regulations.

13. Smoking Restrictions Smoking is strictly prohibited within or around the VA facility.

14. Performance Period The contractor shall complete all work within the performance period specified in the contract. Work shall begin only after issuance of the Notice of Award and coordination with the VA Facilities Management team.

15. Work Hours and Scheduling All on-site work shall be performed during VA‑approved working hours. Any after‑hours, weekend, or holiday work—including shutdown activities—must be pre‑approved by the VA Facilities Management Systems (FMS) COR.

16. Access, Security, and Badging Requirements Contractor personnel shall follow all VA security procedures. All workers must check in at the designated VA location each day, obtain and wear VA‑issued identification badges, and comply with all escort and restricted‑area requirements established by the facility.

17. Warranty Requirements The contractor shall provide a minimum one-year warranty on workmanship. Manufacturer warranties for all installed valves, components, and materials shall be provided to the VA upon project completion. Any proposed like-in-kind or equivalent valve shall include a manufacturer's warranty that is no less than the standard warranty offered by the valve manufacturer for that product.

18. Site Conditions and Cleanup The contractor shall maintain the worksite in a clean and orderly condition. All debris, packaging, and removed materials shall be cleaned up daily and stored only in VA‑approved areas. No equipment or materials shall obstruct walkways or patient‑care areas.
