This project includes providing a new fuel oil day tank. I am assuming that the initial fill will come from the bulk tank located outside and that we won’t need to provide the additional 100-gallons of fuel oil to fill the day tank. Is that correct?

Melton Correct. The fuel oil for the new fuel oil day tank will be provided from the existing bulk fuel oil tanks.

9. Ambulance Area

I just want to make sure that the drive located outside of the boiler room can be shut down for extended periods of time while we move equipment in and out?

Melton The ambulance bay drive located outside of the boiler room can be shut down during boiler change outs and will be coordinated during construction.

10. Ambulance Area

The Emergency Room traffic may be impacted for a period of 2 days for the removal and replacement of equipment. Please confirm this is acceptable

Melton Blocking of the ambulance traffic is required to change out the boilers. Ambulance will be re-routed during this timeframe.

11. Asbestos Has the hospital had any asbestos testing done on the insulation within the scope of work? And if so, was any identified?

Melton

A limited asbestos survey was recently performed and found no asbestos containing materials.

Only fuel is #2 oil. Condensing boilers require a minimum return temperature of 140°F when firing on oil. The schedule shows a return temp. of 120°F. Based on the 120°F return temp we cannot use the condensing boiler for the application if the only #2 fuel oil is available For gas/oil applications the return temp can be much lower when firing on gas, but when firing on oil the return would need to be 140°F. Would we require a mixing valve for the return water and temper the water for a condensing boiler to operate efficiently ?

The following requires clarification/response from the project design engineer. There is a disparity between the boiler design requirements found on the equipment schedules, and how these specified boiler products can be safely operated according to current industry/code standards pertaining to boiler technology.

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND FOR THIS RFI

The boiler equipment schedules contained in the project plans indicate that the operating efficiency rating of the new boilers must be a minimum of 92% in order to meet the project requirements. This means the boiler must absolutely be a condensing type boiler, designed to operate with return water temperatures at or below 120F. The low return water temps cause the boiler exhaust gas temperature to drop significantly, reaching the dewpoint inside the combustion chamber and in the exhaust stack itself. This generates a significant amount of “condensate” which mixes with the byproducts of combustion yielding a highly acidic liquid that must be properly trapped, and neutralized before draining to a floor sink. As a current industry standard, ALL boilers designed and manufactured as CONDENSING boilers operate exclusively on either Natural Gas or Propane, or a dual fuel option of NG primary fuel source, with LPG secondary fuel source.

This is in conflict with the equipment schedules which indicate the new boilers must fire exclusively on #2 diesel oil. This is

AESUS

The AE expressed the same concerns with several of the boiler manufacturers during design. The list of manufacturers was narrowed down to Fulton and Riello, both of whom expressed that their boilers were designed with appropriate materials such that they could operate in condensing mode with ULS #2 fuel oil (as primary) at 92% efficiency with the 140/120-deg operating temperatures.

These manufacturers have also provided example projects (where ULS #2 fuel oil was primary) and recommendations on condensate disposal. The manufacturers also detailed the ongoing maintenance requirements where #2 fuel oil is primary.

As shown on the Construction Documents:

1. The boiler must operate at 92% efficiency with the operating temperatures indicated.

2. The manufacturer’s recommended acid neutralization kit must be provided.

3. Similar to what was detailed above, the chosen manufacturer must certify and warranty operation with ULS #2 fuel oil as primary. We also ask that they provide a list of example projects where this was performed.

Reference Drawing, Spec, Page COMMENTS POC IHS Approved Response not possible with a condensing boiler that is designed to operate with 120F inlet water temperature, as the equipment schedules indicate. The reason being, is that the byproducts of combustion for #2 fuel oil when mixed with condensation in the flue gas creates a highly toxic substance known as sulfuric acid. There is currently no available means or methods in the industry for managing, collecting, or disposing of sulfuric acid to a floor sink or drain. It is not allowable by code, and is a highly dangerous substance. For this reason, all boiler manufacturers have standardized on Natural Gas and LPG gas options only for high efficiency boilers of this type.

There are a couple of boiler manufacturers that make a condensing boiler pressure vessel, and pair it with a burner that is capable of firing on #2 diesel oil. We do represent such a manufacturer. However the manufacturer’s OM documents warn the operator that the boiler setpoint temperature must be maintained at 180F while operating on #2 diesel oil, in order to eliminate the possibility of creating condensation inside the boiler. This reduces the boiler operating efficiency to approximately 80-85% (similar to any non-condensing boiler), and thereby would completely void the desired “Condensing Efficiency” of 92% or higher. In general, these types of boilers are intended for the #2 oil to be a backup/reserve fuel only so that the run time on the diesel oil would only be for emergency use. Under these circumstances, the primary operating fuel source would still need to be NG or LPG.

FORMAL RFI

Based on the above technical background information, please provide whether the priority for this boiler project is meeting the minimum efficiency standard of 92%, or if meeting the #2 fuel oil requirement takes precedence. If a 92% efficiency minimum is the priority, we formally request to be able to submit a bid for condensing boiler equipment that operates on LPG propane gas as the fuel source. This will allow the operator to safely run the boiler equipment as designed with 120F inlet temp and 140F outlet temp, while meeting the minimum efficiency standard.

If meeting the #2 fuel oil requirement takes precedence, and there is no other fuel option under consideration, then the boiler design requirement must certainly be modified to maintain an outlet temperature of 180F, and the minimum efficiency standard for the equipment must be reduced to non-condensing efficiencies of 80-85%.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.

Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the https://sam.gov/wage-determination/AZ20230027/2 5/6 cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate).

Union Rate Identifiers

A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or ""UAVG"" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate.

Survey Rate Identifiers

Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

* an existing published wage determination

* a survey underlying a wage determination

* a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour National Office because National Office has responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.) and 3.) should be followed.

With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.
