Miles City Boiler Repair

36C25924R0060, Boiler Plant Repairs Miles City CLC, MT, Project Number: 436-24-125

QUESTION 1: With the MAWP of the boiler at 15 psi. SVB2 is required to be set @ 14 psi, SVB1 Is required to be set @ 13 psi, the HHBSPLS is required to trip @ 12 psi and the HBSPLS is required to trip @ 11 psi, therefore the operating pressure of the boiler will now be @ 10 psi or less. Please acknowledge that the plant can operate at a maximum of 10 psi.

ANSWER 1: As per the VHA & HEFP, new redesigns must comply with all publications, Directive 1810, and the VHA Boiler and Associated Plant Safety Device Testing Manual 8th Edition (Feb 2024). Please submit with that in consideration (i.e. plan on 10 PSIG operating Pressure).

QUESTION 2: It is assumed that even though the MAWP of the boilers are 15 psi, the operational pressure will only be at 10 psi. Please acknowledge that the scope of work does not intend to change for the steam header valves to be replaced since the operational pressure is below that required of DA151 .

ANSWER 2: Acknowledged - We plan on meeting the requirements as published by per VHA & HEFP guidance.

QUESTION 3: The plant does not have a propane backup system for firing on #2 Fuel Oil as required by both the Design Manual and the 8th Edition Testing Manual. Will the contractor be required to supply and install a propane backup system?

ANSWER 3: Yes - We plan on meeting the requirements as published by per VHA & OHE guidance.

QUESTION 4: If the contractor is required to supply and install a propane backup system, will it be required to meet with SD235239-03, Natural Gas & LP Gas, Burner & Ignitor Fuel - Standard Piping?

ANSWER 4: Yes – VA publication attached for Team’s reference

QUESTION 5: If a propane backup system is required to meet with SD235239-03, Natural Gas & LP Gas, Burner & Ignitor Fuel - Standard Piping, will OHE be required to review and approve design of the installation? (note: a propane backup system is usually housed in a separate outside building and installing backup tanks with all associated alarms and safety devices)

ANSWER 5: We will seek guidance from VHA – OHE but submittals should account for the possibility of the above separate building being required.
