Statement of Work LB - Remove & Replace Emergency Generator

- Construction - Long Beach, California VA Health Care System (600)

600-19-1-5667-0007

B.1 INTRODUCTION:

This requirement is for construction services to provide the labor and materials to

Remove & Replace existing Emergency Generator, Day Tank, Exhaust Fan and ATS

(Automatic Transfer Switch) and Wall Mounted Disconnect, Bldg-5A. This project is referred to as: “LB - Remove & Replace Emergency Generator” in the Long Beach, California, VA Health Care System (LBVAHCS). The project number is: 600-19-104.

B.2 BACKGROUND / DESCRIPTION OF WORK:

The Veterans Affairs Healthcare System located in Long Beach, California (600) requires construction services to: Remove & Replace existing Emergency Generator, Day Tank, Exhaust Fan, ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch), Wall Mounted Disconnect, Battery

Charger, and install Remote Annunciator Module Bldg-5A. This project has no design documents. Shop drawings are attached.

The emergency generator for Bldg-5A is currently non-operational due to the windings melting causing the generator to be dead lined. This generator serves as emergency power for the Chiller Plant and Boiler Plant, which is a critical component of the Medical Center and needs to be 100% operable at all times. Without this Generator, the Medical Center is unable to produce Steam for Hot Water, Sterilization and Heating.

Also, without this generator, the Medical center is unable to chill the water to cool the

Medical Center.
