About this file
This is a Design Narrative and Option Descriptions document for a federal construction project to replace steam boilers at the Northern Arizona Veterans Affairs Health Care System in Prescott, Arizona. The project (No. 649-22-104) involves replacing three existing 12,000 lbs/hr water tube boilers manufactured in 1975 that have exceeded their 40-year useful life with three new 300 BHP high-pressure steam boilers operating at 70 psig. Historical steam load data from 2019-2021 indicates maximum winter loads of 12,700 lbs/hr at the design temperature of 17.7°F and summer loads of 5,800 lbs/hr at 94.4°F, supporting the requirement for N+1 redundancy with the proposed replacement capacity.
The scope of work encompasses comprehensive boiler plant upgrades including replacement of economizers, controls, piping systems with hangers and supports, pressure reducing valve (PRV) stations, deaerator and condensate storage tanks, pumps, gas fuel train, metering systems, and the electrical main control center (MCC). Additional work includes constructing a new control room with visibility to all boiler fronts, adding fire suppression to the control room, providing secondary egress from the mezzanine, replacing the roof membrane and exhaust fans, upgrading lighting to LED, installing HVAC to the control room, providing lockout/tagout capabilities, addressing asbestos-containing materials (ACM) abatement, and conducting third-party certification of safety devices. Temporary boiler rental (two 250 BHP and one 200 BHP units) is required to maintain steam supply during construction. The design complies with applicable VA directives, NFPA codes, ASME boiler standards, and 2018 IBC requirements. Superior Boiler is identified as the equipment supplier with boilers having a gross capacity of 10,500 lbs/hr at maximum continuous rating, natural gas fuel capability, and 160 psig maximum allowable working pressure.

REPLACE STEAM BOILERS
Northern Arizona VA Health Care System
649-22-104
Design Narrative & Option Descriptions – CD Set 06/29/2026
I. Project Summary (Executive Summary)
Useful Life Expectancy:
The useful life expectancy of the existing Water Tube boilers is 40 years. The existing campus steam boilers were manufactured and installed in 1975 approaching 46 years and are past their useful life. Boilers, condensate and DA tanks completed a useful life study in September 2024 with a satisfactory condition report for continued utilization. The associated plant PRV station and its associated valves, traps and specialties are beyond their useful life expectancy.
The boiler plant header isolation valves, traps and warmup bypass valves are beyond their useful life expectancy. The boiler plant has been well maintained and safety device tested per the September 15-17, 2020 Boiler Plant Safety Device Training and Testing were 87% compliant.
This project will correct the below deficiencies:
• Replace boilers (economizers) and controls.
• Replace plant piping (with hangers / support), PRV and header.
• Replace deaerator, condensate and flash tanks.
• Replace condensate transfer pump, chemical feed pumps, water feed pumps, sump pumps and generator fuel pump.
• Replace gas fuel train.
• Replace electric, gas and steam meters.
• Construct new control room, with view for all boiler fronts.
• Add boiler lacking lockout / tagout capabilities.
• Install new MCC.
• Add fire suppression to plant.
• Install combustible gas monitoring near boiler plant roof.
• Remove ACM in boiler building.
• Install automatic chemical feed system.
• Add fire suppression to plant.
• Construct secondary means of egress from mezzanine.
• Replace roof membrane, near end-of-life expectancy.
• Replace roof exhaust fans.
• Install telecommunications enclosure.
• Replace fluorescent lighting with LED.
• Replace and expand air intake louvers.
• Add HVAC to control room.
• Replace windows and doors.
• Mezzanine flooring to be replaced.
Below deficiencies are not in project scope:
• Water softeners – New, resized softeners have been replaced 20th August 2025.
• Overhead paging – Addressed on separate contract.
• Air compressors - To be addressed in separate contract.
• Signage – To be addressed in separate contract.
Design Conditions:
The ASHRAE 99.6% winter outdoor design temperature for Prescott Arizona per the HVAC Design Manual (2019), is 17.7 degrees F. The 0.4% summer design temperature is 94.4 degrees F. Historical hourly load data from the boiler plants calibrated flow meters is summarized in Section V. of this report were utilized to determine maximum steam loads.
Existing Conditions:
The three existing boilers are each 12,000 LBS/HR, 350 BHP, High Pressure Water Tube boilers. Manufactured by E.Keeler Co., S.W.P. 200, W.W.H.S. 255, and B.H.S. 1,475. The total N capacity with two of the three boilers in operation is 24,000 LBS/HR with the third boiler an additional +1 of 12,000 LBS/HR. Boiler #1 burner has been modified to provide a slightly reduced capacity and is utilized during summer months of low load.
BOILER NAME PLATES
The boiler plant is currently being operated to provide 70 psig high pressure steam to the plant steam header. The 70 psig header has maintained 35 psig to the distribution system. The associated plant PRV station and its associated valves, traps and specialties are beyond their useful life expectancy. The boiler plant header isolation valves, traps and warmup bypass valves are beyond their useful life expectancy.
EXISTING 1/3-2/3 PRV STATION
EXISTING STEAM HEADER
Existing chart recorders have been abandoned and replaced with electronic indication. Control panels are outdated and in need of replacement. The existing control panels shown below will be removed and replaced with new boiler controls with a BACnet reporting interface to the new plant BAS system. The existing gas monitoring system has been upgraded and can be reused and modified to relocate the existing flammable sensors. The existing stack economizers are newer than the boilers but will be replaced with new units to match the new boiler capacities.

EXISTING GAS MONITORING EXISTING BOILER CONTROL EXISTING STACK ECONOMIZER
During the 35% review, it became apparent that the existing Deaerator, DA tank, and Chemical Feed Systems needed to be added to the design. These items are past or close to life expectancy and were important to include in this scope of work to minimize down time and future down time to install and update these systems. This will also reduce the VA overall construction costs to include in this project.
The Deaerator, DA tank, and Chemical Feed Systems were sent out as a change order and approved to be part of the scope of work on this project.
During the 95% review, the team realized the following deficiencies for the boiler plant. No fire suppression in the control room. No secondary egress from mezzanine. Roof membrane needs to be replaced. Lockout / tagout capabilities lacking on existing valves and equipment. The Communications closet did not meet VA design guide requirements. The existing boiler blowdown tank and ventilation exhaust fans were also found to be past their useful life. The design was then updated to accommodate said deficiencies.
Fire Safety:
This project is to add a fire riser and fire suppression system to the control room for the Boiler Plant. This will tap into the existing 6 inch domestic waterline that has an existing 80 PSI. This is a small area that will not require much pressure or water flow. This fire suppression system will include flow valves, monitoring monitors, and adding monitoring into the existing fire alarm control panel for the fire suppression system.
Based on previous comments an Extra Hazard Group 2 (EH2) occupancy is the most demanding area for the project. From NFPA 13, and EH2 occupancy requires a density of 0.40 gpm/sq.ft. over 2500 sq.ft.
for a water demand of 1000 gpm. Adding a safety factor (1.3) and a hose stream of 500 gpm the total anticipated demand is 1800 gpm. Using 6” PVC Class 200 at 1800 gpm and approximately 75’ length we can expect a pressure loss of 8.5 psi. The latest water flow test information provided indicates 130 psi static available near the project site. Based on this information a 6” minimum fire line should be sufficient to support the project fire suppression system.
Hazardous Material Abatement:
The current 100% design submittal identifies several feet of existing piping and all associated fittings, supports and hangars requiring demolition, removal, and disposal off site to make way for the installation of the new proposed piping, fittings, accessories, supports, instrumentation, and insulation. Additional scope to demolish steam and steam condensate return piping has been added. We have included drawings that define the scope of work and demolition required.
Any additional asbestos that may be encountered during construction would require we set aside as a contingency a sum of funds to cover the costs of this unforeseen abatement should it occur. Our design documents will require the Contractor to randomly sample specific suspect materials prior to demolition to confirm no ACBM’s are present.
The VA standard for testing existing materials will be followed. We will require the general contractor to test all insulations, and/or suspicious materials before demolition begins.
Required Boiler Capacity:
From section VI below the calculated required steam load for the facility assuming a 10% growth factor is 13,970 lbs/hr or approximately N=400 BHP. During the summer months the load decreases to 6,380 lbs/hr or approximately 200 BHP.
In conclusion the existing boiler system is oversized and the boilers are beyond their life expectancy. The recommended replacement is and will be three 300 BHP boilers to meet the N+1 requirement.
Recommended Options:
This project will provide the VA with new safe and reliable high pressure natural gas – fuel oil steam boilers that meet the required VHA safe operating requirements and safety device testing requirements.
These new boilers will be safe, reliable, and efficient at a good cost to the government.

VI. Calculations
From the data summary in Section V above, the Prescott VA winter steam load is 12,700 lbs/hr at the required 99.6% winter design temperature of 17.7F. With a 10% growth factor N=12,700*1.10=13,970 lbs/hr, approximately 400 BHP. The three existing equally sized boilers provide an oversized N=24,000 lbs/hr. The summer steam load is 5,800 lbs/hr. With a 10% growth factor N=5,800*1.10=6,380 lbs/hr, approximately 200 BHP. . In conclusion the existing boiler system is oversized, and the boilers are beyond their life expectancy.
The recommended replacement is and will be three 300 BHP boilers to meet the N+1requirements year-round. Piping system stress analysis was performed on the steam and condensate return systems. Both systems were found to be within allowable stresses and the hanger loads calculated indicate minimal loading. The final contractor submitted hangers shall be in compliance with these calculations and industry standards.

The results indicated here DO NOT reflect any state or local amendments to the values or any delineation lines made during the building code adoption process. Users should confirm any output obtained from this tool with the local Authority Having Jurisdiction before proceeding with design.
Please note that the ATC Hazards by Location website will not be updated to support ASCE 7-22. Find out why.
Disclaimer Hazard loads are interpolated from data provided in ASCE 7 and rounded up to the nearest whole integer. Per ASCE 7, islands and coastal areas outside the last contour should use the last wind speed contour of the coastal area – in some cases, this website will extrapolate past the last wind speed contour and therefore, provide a wind speed that is slightly higher. NOTE:
For queries near wind-borne debris region boundaries, the resulting determination is sensitive to rounding which may affect whether or not it is considered to be within a wind-borne debris region.
Mountainous terrain, gorges, ocean promontories, and special wind regions shall be examined for unusual wind conditions.
