Building 6418 Back-Up Steam Boiler Replacement April 5, 2024

1.0 PROJECT: Building 6418 – Mexican Fruit Fly Rearing Facility – Back-Up Steam Boiler Replacement.

2.0 LOCATION: U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Plant Protection Quarantine (PPQ), Field Operations (FO), Building 6418 Mexican Fruit Fly Rearing Facility (MFFRF) – Boiler Room, Moore Air Base (MAB), 22675 N. Moorefield Road, Edinburg Texas 78541

3.0 BACKGROUND: Moore Air Base, building 6418 Mexican Fruit Fly Rearing Facility (MFFRF), Mexican Fruit Fly Program’s overall goal is the eradication of Anastrepha ludens from the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas and the northern municipalities of Tamaulipas, Mexico. Eradication will be followed by the establishment and long-term maintenance of a functional barrier to keep these areas free of Mexican fruit fly. The Mexican Fruit Fly Rearing Facility can produce 160 million sterile flies a week to service the entire Rio Grande Valley’s citrus Mexican Fruit Fly eradication program.

The existing Sellers back-up steam boiler, S.N.: 101604, 20hp, natural gas, located in the building 6418 boiler room, provides building 6418 with back-up emergency steam boiler redundancy providing process steam for sanitizing (killing) the, (Anastrepha ludens), fly larvae that are not of quality standards, environmental humidification, and environmental heating. The environmental heating is critical to maintain target temperatures for Mexican Fruit Fly’s larval rearing environmental control for successful production of flies. Without the environmental heating, specimen production ambient temperatures can be too cold in winter and ruin the critical stages of the Mexican Fruit Fly’s development, causing the loss of production which in turn is a loss of production hours, projects, and taxpayer/stake holder dollars.

The existing Sellers back-up boiler was installed when the building was first built in the mid-1980s. The boiler is now 30+ plus years old, dilapidated, malfunctioning, and its replacement parts are now obsolete.

4.0 PROJECT SCOPE: This Statement of Work (SOW) is to procure construction services to replace the Sellers steam boiler. Contractor shall meet with the Government to ascertain a clear understanding of the project scope, project boundaries and any site security concerns. Tasks that are unclear shall be confirmed with the Contracting Officer (CO) prior to incurring costs. Some project tasks, although not all inclusive, are identified below. Contractor shall furnish all plant, labor, materials, hardware, equipment, construction services, test equipment, etc., necessary to complete the following tasks:

4.1 Remove and dispose of the existing Sellers back-up steam boiler, S.N.: 101604, 20 BHP, natural gas, located in the building 6418 boiler room. Demolition shall include the following at a minimum:

4.1.1 Isolate and secure all energy sources to the existing Sellers boiler.

4.1.2 Disconnect existing Sellers steam boiler and related equipment.

4.1.3 Remove existing corrugated sheet metal from building 6418 boiler room as required to facilitate the removal of the existing Sellers boiler and installation of new boiler. Contractor shall reinstall the corrugated sheet metal after the new boiler is installed such that the space is watertight.

4.2 Furnish and install one 40 BHP (Boiler Horsepower), 1,339 MBH (Thousand BTU per hour) steam boiler package unit (new Hurst 300 Series, Scotch Marine Boiler Skid with Riello RX400 burner, or approved equal). This boiler shall include a 60-gal feed water tank with two boiler feed water pumps, and blowdown separator with aftercooler. Installation shall include the following as a minimum:

4.2.1 Clean and prepare area for new boiler installation, pour a new concrete slab, and seal and paint it when dry (two coats with x type of paint).

4.2.2 Prepare the existing main steam header and install new steam header segments to ensure the two boilers in the building 6418 boiler room are separate from each other’s operation and can be properly bypassed, and individually isolated secure for individual use when an emergency scenario is active, and the new back-up boiler is activated or when the boilers need to be cycled for proper maintenance operation.

4.2.3 Install new boiler and connections in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations and all Federal and State codes.

4.2.4 Furnish and install new vent stack material to include flashing and rain cap. Make a proper roof penetration or modification to the existing one as needed.

4.2.5 Modify existing gas supply line and connect new boiler to the existing supply line.

4.2.6 Provide a new steam line from new boiler to the newly modified steam header with the installation of all new properly rated isolation valves.

4.2.7 Run new piping from the blow down separator and from relief valves to suitable existing drain.

4.2.8 Provide a new boiler disconnect and electrical material as needed to complete the new boiler installation.

4.2.9 Pressure check the new piping systems at 2-1/2 times operating pressure for 24 hours.

4.2.10 Perform new boiler boil-out procedure as per manufacturer’s recommendations. Leave new steam boiler system online and ready for operations.

4.3 Provide a new CO (Carbon Monoxide) monitor/alarm to interlock with all boilers.
