Section 4: Project Background & Project Description The purpose of this project is to install control valves on each of the boilers.

Section 5: Project Objectives The contractor shall provide labor, materials, equipment, and supervision necessary to perform:

1) Furnish and install motorized control valve actuators on each existing boiler isolation butterfly valves (4 total). Valve actuators shall be normally closed, fail open with feedback and end switch. Provide actuator adapters as required.

2) The control valves will be tied into the existing boiler controller(s). The lead boiler valve shall remain open at all times, to prevent deadheading the system pump. The lag boilers shall follow this sequence. The lag boiler valve shall open when the boiler is called to start, the valve shall be proven open via an end switch, after the end switch is made, boiler start shall be delayed for 2 minutes (adjustable) to allow water flow through the boiler prior to starting the firing sequence. After the lag boiler is satisfied and the boiler is shut down the valve shall remain open for 10 minutes (adjustable) before closing. This will allow the heat exchanger in the boiler to cool avoiding nuisance boiler high limit faults.

3) Supply new 24-volt transformers if required. Transformers shall not exceed 80% of their rated VA rating.

4) The lag boiler valves shall remain 10% (min) open at all times to avoid having a cold boiler upon start up.

5) Valve status shall be shown on the BAS. The BAS shall alarm if the valve command and status do not match.

6) The contractor shall provide additional input/output device(s) as required.

7) The contractor shall verify proper boiler operation after installation and fill. The contractor shall adjust any valve delay timing to eliminate any nuisance alarming and verify lead/leg operations.

8) A staging area will be determined by mutual agreement after contract award.

9) The following information is provided for bidding purposes only. The contractor is advised to conduct a site visit and field-verify the exact information required for use in completing the work and submitting an offer.

10) No asbestos or lead containing materials shall be used.

11) All work shall comply with codes and standards applicable to each type of work through the course of this project including the National Electric Code (NFPA 70). Contractor shall also comply with the requirements of GSA Build Green Standards, and PBS P-100.

12) The contractor is responsible for the protection of all existing building property surfaces from damage due to work performed under this contract. Damages to existing surfaces caused by the performance of this contract shall be repaired as to match the existing surface finish at no additional cost to the Government.

13) The Contractor shall remove all debris generated in the performance of this contract daily.

14) The contractor shall take all necessary precautions to prevent any dust or debris from filtering into other parts of the building including but not limited to mechanical systems. Should dust or debris filter into other parts of the building the contractor shall take immediate steps to clean the area (no equipment or supplies will be furnished by GSA).

15) At the completion of the project, the project area shall be cleaned to building standards as determined by the GSA Property Manager. Should the contractor fail to clean the project limits in a timely manner, GSA will contract for said cleaning and the cost will be deducted from the contract. Ensure that all penetrations are sealed with fire rated approved material as required by the International Building Code.

16) The CO has the right to reject any unsatisfactory or unsuitable material or workmanship.
