SOLICITATION QUESTIONS AND GOVERNMENT RESPONSE

1. Project Scope requires modifications to Boiler 1 so that it complies with the 5th Edition of the Safety Device Testing Manual. The burner installed currently has an Infrared Scanner installed. Current VA specification and the 5th Edition of the Safety Device Testing Manual require that UV self-checking scanners to be utilized. In certain installations a UV scanner can have trouble reading a UV signature when Flue Gas Recirculation is used, as it is on this installation. Since the burner on Boiler 1 is not largely used in the VA system nor can any published data be found on them, we would like to point out that there is a possibility that a compliance UV Scanner may not function properly on one or both fuels. Since the burner installed on Boiler 1 was produced in limited quantities, with limited published performance data, does the VA have any manufacturers data regarding the successful use of UV scanners on this burner?

Government Response: The VA does not have a file of the success of the UV scanner on the burner for Boiler 1.

1. Is this contract listed as a service contract?

Government Response: Yes, this is a service contract.

1. Will any bonding be required for this project?

Government Response: No bonding is required in the Solicitation.
