Solicitation No. 693JF722R000013 Fulton Boiler Requirement

Response to Questions/Comments Amended 05/23/2022

Question 1) There is concern with building the boilers in place vs one assembly due to clearance issues. Currently there is a large turbine and its enclosure next to the older boiler, which blocks future access. Will this be removed prior to the start of work? If not, is it the contractor’s responsibility?

Response – The steam turbine casing and gas turbine display (on wheels) may be relocated by the contractor if desired for additional access. The contractor would be responsible for moving and later returning to the original location the steam turbine casing and/or gas turbine display if the additional access is desired. If these are to be relocated outside of the building into the parking lot, they need to be protected from the elements by means such as shrink wrapping. The steam turbine and gas turbine are part of active labs so minimizing the time they are displaced is helpful to the engineering curriculum.

Please see newly posted photos “Fulton Gibbs Turbine Pic 1”, “Fulton Gibbs Turbine Pic 2” and “Fulton Gibbs Turbine Pic 3”.

Question 2) A turbine was located near or on the boiler unit. Will this turbine need to be removed or will it stay in place.

Response – The steam turbine casing and gas turbine display (on wheels) may be relocated by the contractor if desired for additional access. The contractor would be responsible for moving and later returning to the original location the steam turbine casing and/or gas turbine display if the additional access is desired. If these are to be relocated outside of the building into the parking lot, they need to be protected from the elements by means such as shrink wrapping. The steam turbine and gas turbine are part of active labs so minimizing the time they are displaced is helpful to the engineering curriculum.

Please see newly posted photos “Fulton Gibbs Turbine Pic 1”, “Fulton Gibbs Turbine Pic 2” and “Fulton Gibbs Turbine Pic 3”.

Question 24) The statement of work indicates, “there are (3) existing 1000 gpm primary hot water pumps that are to remain. The contractor will connect the new condensing hot water boilers to the existing primary hot water distribution pumps and associated piping. Each boiler will have an individual circulator pump and tie in to the primary hot water piping header with a 6” supply and return connection.” The Cleaver Brooks CFC-E boiler does not require a circulator pump since they are high mass boilers with 285 gallons of water in each pressure vessel and are typically piped with primary pumps only. The statement of work indicates the boilers are to be provided with automatic boiler isolation valves as well which is redundant if providing individual circulator pumps. If boiler circulator pumps are required, please advise on the following information in order to select the proper pump: flow rate, head pressure, voltage, fluid (water only?), constant or variable speed, type (inline, base mounted end suction, etc).

Response – Offerors may propose alternate methods, but the system must be completely functional and operational in accordance with the boiler manufacturer’s performance specifications and the SOW.

The terminology used in the statement of work for an “individual circulator pump” was for a pump sized for each boiler that provides full load flow through the boiler at 20 deg. F differential and back to the main campus constant flow heat distribution loop.

Flow rate is based on the required boiler flow at 20 deg, F. differential. The heat distribution loop is 30 psi. 208 3-phase power is available in the space. The operating fluid is water. Pump to be appropriate for proposed boiler and boiler room layout. Pump to be constant speed.

Question 32) The solicitation requires that the contractor install the new boilers and provide training as described in the statement of work by October 1, 2022. Can I still submit a proposal if my project plan includes boiler installation and training after October 1, 2022?

Response – Yes, proposals with project plans that extend beyond October 1, 2022, may be submitted and will be considered.
