PROJECT NAME: Urgent Boiler Replacement, Red Rock Lakes NWR

Project Description:

Existing Burnham Boiler is approximately 26 years old and is at end of serviceable life.

Current boiler piping is showing signs of significant corrosion and there is reasonable concern that fittings could crack/break beyond repair at boiler. System replacement is required.

STATEMENT OF WORK:

-Remove/dispose of current Burnham non-condensing boiler and replace with high efficiency combination condensing boiler (example: NTI TRX model) with required upgrades to associated system components and piping as required. Includes all parts, materials, drive time and labor to complete work.

System requirements:

-Heat Exchanger: Stainless steel heat exchanger required

-Functionality: Combi-boiler designed to provide both space heating and domestic hot water in a single, compact unit and service hydronic floor heat system.

-Installation: Suitable for tight spaces and hard water

-A flush of the hydronic system is also required. This is necessary due to the cast iron composition of the current boiler which will leave ferrous debris in the system which can cause damage and void the new boiler warranty.

-The contractor will supply all materials, equipment, tools and labor necessary to complete the statement of work.

-The government will supply safe and efficient access to the work sites, as well as on-site coordination and guidance to facilitate timely completion of work.
