36C25023Q0882 – Questions and answers

Question:

Is the Useful Life Study on the 4 boilers and 2 tanks to be as outlined in section 6, 8, 9, 10, and 11 of SOW or is it to include ALL components as listed in the table in section 2?

Answer:

The section 2 table of equipment is a general list of our boiler plant equipment and their ages. The RFI is correct in stating that the SOW requires Boilers 1-4, DA Tank, and Condensate tank to be assessed in accordance with sections 6, 8, 9, 10, and 11. This same in-depth level of analysis is not required on all equipment listed in the section 2 table. However, Section 11, paragraph D. does require an “expert analysis of the condition of boilers/ancillary equipment and recommended extension to useful life in years.” The contractor’s useful life analysis, report, and recommendations on Boilers 1-4, DA Tank, and Condensate Tank should consider each’s ancillary equipment using expert judgement. It’s expected this expert judgement shows up in a brief narrative.

In short, analysis of the main 6 pieces of equipment should consider the plant’s ancillary equipment using expert judgement but not the same level of in-depth analysis.
