1.0 PROJECT SCOPE

1.1. PROJECT BACKGROUND

This project is to replace the two chemical feed cabinets in Science and Technology Facility (S&TF) and connect them back into the existing process. These cabinets provide Sodium Hydroxide and Sulfuric Acid to the three scrubbers and the automatic waste neutralization tanks.

Original design of the Process Development and Integration Laboratory (PDIL) Cleanroom automated waste neutralization (AWN) system was to operate 24/7, however the need of the research requires an intermittent operation. As a result, the delivery components and building automation system (BAS) controls will be updated by NREL. The chemical feed cabinets shall have a standalone programmable logic controller (PLC) that will interface with the BAS.

1.2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This project will require Vendor and Construction services to provide for replacement of the two chemical feed cabinets and delivery component, programming, and controls of the S&TF chemical delivery system to the AWN that meets the requirements provided in Exhibit A and B. This subcontract will also provide a pump cart as detailed in Exhibit A and B.

Subcontractor must have successfully completed similar chemical feed secondary containment automated waste neutralization projects in the past five years. Equipment vendor shall have available support within the United States of America.

1.3. OBJECTIVE

The objective of this project is to complete the scope of work identified in the Exhibit A Drawings and Exhibit B Specifications.

Construction requirements are to include the following:

1. Convert delivery components from 24/7 to intermittent operation. The design of the delivery components is to ensure pumps to be primed, that the sodium hydroxide will not freeze (sodium hydroxide freezes when not in use/flowing at room temperature), ensure the material of the new components are all compatible with the given type of chemicals, and the new controller (PLC) is tied into the BAS with complete new programming for intermittent operation.

2. The delivery components are to be housed in a total of two (2) cabinets that provide secondary containment. Secondary containment design is 1.5 times the drum capacity and completely leak proof with the given type of chemicals.

3. The existing secondary containment storage cabinets total of two (2), to be replaced with new. The original design of the PDIL cleanroom utilized NREL furnished equipment for the secondary containment cabinets that housed the delivery components and storage of chemicals in 2 – 55 gallon drums.

4. Provide a portable pump system to suction out the secondary containment of the cabinet or for spill conditions. Portable pump system to be compatible with treatment chemicals and capable of discharging to the AWN tanks.

The jurisdictions having authority are:

• STM – West Metro Fire Protection District

Appendix A - Statement of Work - S&TF Spill Recovery Page 11 of 12

• NWTC – Rocky Mountain Fire Protection District

Work in NREL leased (e.g. not Federally owned) facilities must comply with local permitting requirements.

8.0 BENEFICIAL OCCUPANCY/SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION AND FINAL

COMPLETION

Beneficial Occupancy is the assumption of responsibility and transfer of the work from the Subcontractor to NREL. In general, NREL assumes Beneficial Occupancy only when all the work is finished, and all component and systems testing has been satisfactorily completed. Beneficial Occupancy is normally considered to be the same as Substantial Completion as defined in the American Institute of Architects (AIA) contract language.

NREL can take partial Beneficial Occupancy if needed and the responsibilities are well defined between NREL and the subcontractor.

Substantial Completion/Beneficial Occupancy is assumed only after a detailed inspection verifying workmanship, compliance with contract plans and specifications, and component test results. Beneficial Occupancy can be assumed with minor discrepancies that are noted on a "Punch List" that is issued to the Subcontractor for correction. These discrepancies cannot prevent NREL from utilizing the system or facility as intended unless any problems are design related and not the responsibility of the Subcontractor.

Final Completion is achieved after verification by the NREL Project Manager that all items on the Punch List developed at Substantial Completion/Beneficial Occupancy have been resolved and that all contract deliverables (e.g. Redline Drawings, O&Ms, Warranties, spares, etc.) have been received.

9.0 PROJECT COMPLETION

After construction completion, the Subcontractor shall provide to the Engineer of Record markups of the Exhibit A Issue for Construction drawings reflecting the as-built condition.
