00 GLEN 12-1027 Amendment 003 Purpose.docx

This solicitation is for the repair and replacement of domestic water pumps and associated piping infrastructure at Building 420 of Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Rather than utilizing two large domestic pumps, the project will install a combination of small, medium, and jockey pumps operating on variable frequency drives to provide water flows between 100 and 600 gallons per minute during normal operation. Three medium pumps running in parallel will meet maximum daily demand plus fire flow requirements. A fourth identical medium pump will be installed as a standby. The existing diesel fire pump from 2012 will remain in service as backup. The contractor shall replace all steel water piping within and around the building, resizing pipes as needed for the new pump flows and outfitting with new valves and fittings. The water distribution system must supply demands with sufficient pressure and quality over varying daily and annual conditions. The contractor must install a new fire department connection in an approved, easily accessible location from the roadway.
