PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

for Repacking Fire Pump

Place of Performance:

Jesse Brown VA Medical Center 820 S. Damen Ave Chicago, IL 60612

Project Objective: The purpose of this project is to perform a repack on the Peerless 5AEF11G 1000 GPM Fire Pump in the main fire pump room of the Bed Tower as required by local fire codes and regulatory authorities to ensure the fire system functions properly in event of an emergency. Contractor shall supply all labor, tools, materials and travel to and from worksite.

Current Conditions/Background: The packing around the fire pump is failing. This packing prevents leaking and helps maintain proper pressure and flow rate to the pump. It provides cooling by carrying heat away that’s generated by friction between the shaft and seal and prevents the pump from overheating.

Proper packing allows for controlled leakage which keeps the shaft seal and packing gland lubricated, reducing wear and extending life of the seal.
