BACKGROUND

The United States Merchant Martine Academy (USMMA) is an agency of the Maritime

Administration (MARAD) managed by the United States Department of Transportation.

The USMMA is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Therefore, all work shall be consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic

Properties (36 CFR part 68) http://www.nps.gov/tps/standards/four-treatments/treatment-guidelines.pdf.

All work shall meet or exceed the standards provided in the Secretary of the Interior’s

Standards for Rehabilitation and guidelines for applying the standards published by the

National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior 36 CFR 67.7 - Standards for rehabilitation.

SCOPE

The USMMA seeks a qualified and experienced contractor to provide labor, material, transportation, tools, equipment and supervision to perform a renovation of the hot water system that serves the Cleveland and Rogers barracks. We are looking to replace three hot water storage tanks and two water heaters. The fire door will be replaced after the water heaters and storage tanks are installed. This project will have to be scheduled during a time when the student presence is low.

DELIVERABLES

The Contractor is responsible for the following;

1. Prepare all work areas, install dust mitigation and flooring protection as needed.

2. All material must be in hand before work can proceed.

3. Work must be done during a school break to minimize impact on the students.

4. Contractor shall provide project schedule at least two weeks prior to commencement of the project.

5. Contractor shall perform work in a clean and orderly fashion. The work area shall be cleaned and all tools and materials neatly stowed away at the end of every day.

6. Contractor shall remove all containers, surplus materials, equipment, and debris and leave the site in a clean and orderly condition acceptable to the COR.

7. Remove mechanical room entrance fire door and framing.

8. Secure cold-water feed to the hot water system.

Lochinvar Powerfin water heaters.

12. Remove two (2) Lochinvar power fin water heaters. Dispose of properly.

14. Install contractor supplied water heaters and storage tanks. Replacement water heaters will need to at least equal the performance specifications of the existing two (2)

Lochinvar PowerFin water heaters (model # PFN1501) – each existing unit has a recovery of 1,545 gallons per hour at 100 degrees Fahrenheit rise. If it is possible to achieve this performance with electric heat pump water heaters, that is preferred.

Otherwise, high-efficiency natural gas water heaters should be installed. Regardless of the type, the water heater units must be EnergyStar-certified, per the specifications at this link. Install three (3) storage tanks with equivalent storage as the existing tanks

(existing tanks are Lochinvar storage tanks model #RGA0257).

15. Reconnect to all existing connections. Install isolation valves on each tank and water heater, to be able to completely isolate each piece of equipment if needed.

16. Leak test.

17. Ensure both units are working correctly as per manufacturers specifications.

18. Ensure all controls and limit switches are connected and energized.

19. Insulate with contractor supplied fiberglass pipe insulation on all exposed copper piping.
