1. SCOPE: Base Year. Provide all labor, supervision, materials, equipment, tools and ancillary supplies to perform annual load bank testing, oil sample testing for sediment and foreign materials, check fuel oil tanks for contamination of fuel-oil, air-filter change, oil and oil filter replacement, flush and clean cooling system replace thermostat and coolant with OEM specified parts and materials at the Central Texas VA Healthcare Facilities located in Waco and Temple TX. In addition; contractor will provide all labor, parts, tools, equipment and materials to repair generator’s mechanical and electrical malfunctions that may arise or be discovered that is not specifically covered. This will be on a as needed basis and there will be funds allocated to awarded contract for repairs.

a. CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITIES: The contractor shall supply all necessary parts, materials, tools and labor to perform the necessary installation, testing and repairs.

The contractor is responsible for the proper disposal of all discarded parts, material, debris and oil upon completion of the following maintenance tasks. Visual inspection of engine and electrical power generation package and all related equipment and systems excluding the automatic transfer switches. The contractor shall document conditions, values and recommendations on contractor provided forms and submit documentation to COR within 72 hours after completion of inspection, contractor is responsible for removal and proper disposal of all waste oil, filters and coolant.

Maintenance Tasks Inspect cooling system, operation of heater(s), cooling value (thermostat) and adding supplemental conditioners to the cooling system to keep coolant nitrate levels between 1200 and 2400 PPM. Inspect hoses, belts and radiator. Inspect and check radiator, lovers and room for air flow restrictions document any corrosion or coolant seepage. Verify proper fluid levels and values, correct as needed prior to load bank test. Check battery voltage prior to initial cranking and record values on contractor's battery test form. Check fuel supply and quality of fuel. Retrieve a fuel sample from bottom of main fuel tank for visual inspection. Replace air-filter elements with a filter the meets or exceeds original manufacturers specifications. Inspect overall air induction system for wear and leakage. Document all findings and work performed.

Obtain COTR approval to ' Lock unit out and connect resistive load bank in such a manner that emergency power can be manually restored (when possible) upon notification if such an incident should occur COTR must approve all connections and individual unit's circumstances.

Conduct a continuous four (4)-hour load bank test, a 1.0 power factor. Extracted load shall be greater than the .8096 of generator's nameplate value (Example: 100KW - Test @85KW).

Generator loading shall be in graduated increments up to test value to ensure proper operation and not part of the four (4) hour time span. Testing shall be documented in fifteen (15) minutes intervals on contractors provided test sheet. Data shall include the following parameters: time; engine hour at start and completion of test; ambient room temperature;

coolant temperature; oil temperature; lube pressure; fuel pressure (when available); A.C.

frequency (verify Digitally); A.C. voltage (verify digitally): KW (load)(verify digitally).

During testing, an infrared heat gun shall be used to monitor cooling system operation, exhaust temps, oil temp, day tank temps and electrical connections related to test load. These values are not required to be recorded, but critical values should be reported. After removal of load bank, a ten (10) - minute cool down period at no load is required. These values shall be documented on the test sheet as 'Post Test Data'. Upon completion of load bank test, reinstate system wiring to be 'ready for duty' to reduce down time if an outage should occur while performing engine maintenance.

Contractors Engineer Maintenance 2.1: Lock Unit out. Obtain an oil sample for analysis after completion of load test and before changing oil. Remove AC power from battery charger for one (1) hour while performing engine service. Inspect, test and evaluate individual NiCad battery bank cells at the end of one (1) hour. Record values on contractors provided form.

Reinstate charger observing operations. Check 'high rate' or "equalize mode" (if equipped), record value. All values shall be recorded.
