Repair by Replacing Domestic Water Pumps, B420 50 CES Project Manager:

Michael R. Mattson

18 July 2019

Contents

BACKGROUND:

Building 420 houses the domestic water pump system for SAFB. This facility is located inside the Restricted Area (RA).

There are currently two American Marsh domestic water pumps in service in Building 420. These pumps run on variable frequency drives (VFD), and are rated for 1,500 GPM at 90 psi. They are powered by 125 horsepower (HP) electric motors. There is room for one additional domestic water supply standby pump which can be added for redundancy. The pumps are set at a pre-set pressure of approximately 84 psi. These domestic water pumps are oversized for the wide range of flows at SAFB. Night time flows are below 100 GPM. Even with the VFD’s, these low flows operate substantially outside the recommended range for these pumps.

There are also three fire pumps housed in Building 420. Two of the fire pumps are 125 HP electric fire pumps, each rated for 1,000 GPM at 125 psi. The third fire pump is a 2012 diesel driven single stage fire pump rated for 1,500 GPM at 125 psi. The third diesel fire pump provides approximately 24 hours of backup water at full engine power.

REQUIREMENTS:

Contractor shall furnish all labor, equipment, supplies and materials, and perform all operations necessary to accomplish the following in accordance with the Statement of Work and Enclosures:

Identified Improvements:

1.1.1. Instead of having two large domestic pumps, a combination of small and medium domestic pumps operating on VFDs would cover a wider flow range. During normal operation, one to three pumps would cover a range of flow between about 100 GPM and 600 GPM. The MDD plus fire flow demand would be met with three medium pumps running in parallel. To provide a reliable water supply, a fourth identical medium pump can be installed as a standby pump or the existing diesel fire pump could be kept as a backup for firm capacity. Since the diesel fire pump is new as of 2012, this pump could remain in service as is. Table 1 lists the major pump and VFD equipment. The fourth Medium Pump is in included in the design since it was listed in the statement of work, but this pump is not required for firm capacity if the existing diesel fire pump remains in service.

1.1.2. The proposed pump configuration would provide SAFB more operational flexibility, and the pumps would operate at much higher efficiencies than the existing pumping equipment.

1.1.3. Additionally, all steel piping infrastructure in and around Building 420 requires replacement, with pipes resized for the flows from the new pumps, and equipped with new valves and fittings to provide simplicity of maintenance and repairs.

1.1.4. A new fire department connection shall be installed where easily accessed from the roadway. Exact location is to be determined by installer. Connection shall consist of two 2 ½ inch connections with NH internal threaded swivel fitting(s). Threading shall be 2.5 – 7.5 NH standard thread as specified in NFPA 1963.

Hydraulic Analysis:

1.1.5. The water distribution system must be able to supply water demands with sufficient service pressure and water quality over a range of fluctuating conditions that vary throughout the day and over the course of a year. AECOM created a hydraulic model using AFT Fathom software to verify and complete the final hydraulics. This included calculating the required head and pump turndown for each of the three pump types (Medium Pump, Small Pump, and Jockey Pump) at the required flow conditions, taking into account the frictional losses in the pipe system due to the recommended change in pipe sizes within the building. AECOM targeted a distribution pressure of 84 psi for normal water flow and 110 psi for fire flow.

1.1.6. Refer to “05 - GLEN12-1027_Design Analysis_Redacted” for more details on demand and pump operating points.

Material Selection:

1.1.7. Piping material is selected to be AWWA C200 steel pipe. Piping 4” and greater will be cement-mortar-lined per AWWA C205 with lining thickness as specified in the table below.

1.1.8. Piping less than 4” will be galvanized steel. AECOM calculated the required minimum wall thickness of the pipe by pipe size per AWWA M11 guidelines (see Appendix D for calculation results). If the calculated required wall thickness is less than industry standards, than the minimum wall thickness per typical vendor standards may be used.

1.1.9. For external protection of underground pipe outside of Building 420, both tape wrap coating (in accordance with AWWA standard C214) or epoxy coating (in accordance with AWWA standard C210, C213, C215, C218 or C222) are acceptable. Indoor pipe shall be painted per industry standards.

NPSHA Considerations:

The potable water storage for diurnal equalization, fire flows, and emergency supply is provided by two tanks (Tk-1 and Tk-2). The two tanks are identical and located adjacent to the booster pumping station in Building 420. These identical, below grade, concrete, square storage tanks are located northwest of Building 420. Per Potable Water System Analysis and Modeling, URS 2016, the maximum water level is 23 feet and the normal minimum water level in the tanks is 18 feet. The water level in the tanks is controlled by level sensors. For conservatism, the NPSHA calculation of the pumps within AFT Fathom assumes that the tanks will need to be pumped all of the way down in the event of a fire, and that no tank level will be available.

COMBINATION AIR/ VACUUM VALVE SIZING ANALYSIS:

A Combination Air/ Vacuum Valve (CAV) is required on the discharge side of each of the pumps to protect against vacuum conditions from occurring during potential pump trips, as well as to release air from typical pump filling and draining operations. A CAV will also be installed at the highpoint of the piping to automatically release entrained air. CAVs are placed at high points to exhaust large volumes of air during pump start-up and pipeline filling. These valves will also admit large volumes of air into the pipeline to protect against internal vacuum conditions during pipeline draining and other conditions. CAVs combine the function of both air/vacuum and air release valves. CAV valves were sized per AWWA M51. A 2-inch CAV with a 1/16-inch orifice is required for the FP-3 fire flows, and a 1.5-inch CAV with a 1/16-inch orifice is required for the medium pumps.

PRESSURE RELEIF VALVE (PRV) CALCULATION:

The maximum recommended discharge pressure from Building 420 is 110 psi to prevent exceeding the pressure rating of Schedule 40 PVC pipe that is present within the system. The distribution system mainly consists of PVC Schedule 40 pipes with sizes that range from 6-inch to 12-inch. The pressure rating of the 12-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe is 130 psi at 73 degree F. Since the pressure rating of the pipe increases as the pipe diameter decreases, pipe sizes smaller than 12-inch in diameter will have a pressure rating higher than 130 psi. The selected pumps will likely have a dead head pressure of greater than 130 psig (per preliminary vendor pump curves), therefore a PRV will be installed on the distribution water header to protect from over-pressuring the downstream piping. The PCV-01 and PCV-02 will also serve this function, however overpressure analysis requires that these are assumed to fail. A preliminary PSV sizing calculation in accordance with API 520/521 has determined that PRV with a 2.5 sq. in area orifice is required, however the PRV size will need to be confirmed by the manufacturer to certify the valve capacity. Pump Control Valve (PCV) PCV-01 and PCV-02 are recommended to be set at 115 psig. The recommended PRV set pressure is 120 psig.

1.1.37. DISPOSAL OF WASTES (NON-HAZARDOUS, SPECIAL, AND HAZARDOUS) GENERATED

1.1.37.1. The Integrated Solid Waste Management Plan (ISWMP) is a comprehensive approach to managing non-hazardous solid waste. It encompasses waste prevention, recycling, composting, and disposal programs. Through the ISWMP, Air Force installations or facilities seek to determine the most cost effective, energy-efficient, least-polluting ways to deal with their waste streams in order to protect human health and the environment. As applicable, the ISWMP will be briefed to the Contractor.

1.1.37.2. Non-Hazardous Wastes: Non-hazardous solid waste is regulated under 42 U.S. Code Chapter 82 – Solid Waste Disposal - Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle D, 40 CFR Part 239-259 and set minimum federal criteria for the operation of municipal waste and industrial waste landfills, including design criteria, location restrictions, financial assurance, corrective action (cleanup), and closure requirement. States play a lead role in implementing these regulations and may set more stringent requirements. In absence of an approved state program, the federal requirements must be met by waste facilities.

1.1.37.3. The Contractor shall transport and dispose of all non-hazardous wastes to a permitted facility or other disposal facility permitted by the state in which the disposal facility is located.

1.1.37.4. Special Wastes: Special wastes are any wastes that are non-hazardous yet have to be stored, transported, and/or disposed of in a special manner, for example, asbestos containing wastes or petroleum contaminated soil. The Contractor shall store, transport and dispose of all Special Wastes in accordance with all Federal, State, and local laws, rules and regulations as applicable. The Contractor shall dispose of special wastes in a permitted facility. The disposal facility must also be approved by 50 CES/CEIE prior to transportation. The Contractor shall make all necessary arrangements with the disposal facility for disposal of special wastes. The Contractor shall prepare all necessary paper work, including but not limited to bill of lading, manifests, etc. at no additional cost to the Government.

1.1.38. HAZARDOUS WASTE

1.1.38.1. The Contractor shall accumulate, transport and dispose of all hazardous waste (HW) in accordance with federal HW regulations 40 CFR 260-279, Colorado Department of Transportation, and federal transportation regulations 49 CFR 171-176. The Contractor shall prepare, maintain, and submit to the CO all records, shipping documents, training certificates, plans and other documents required by regulation. This includes copies of the manifests and land disposal restrictions.

1.1.38.2. The Contractor shall remove all HW from SAFB on a daily basis unless the accumulation and storage is specifically approved in writing by the CO and 50 CES/CEIE. Such approval must be given prior to the generation of any HW. Approval for accumulation or storage of HW in excess of 1kg of acute and 100 kg of non-acute HW, for greater than three (3) calendar days will require a minimum lead time of forty-five (45) calendar days from the date of the receipt of the request and may not be approved at that time. The contractor is responsible for proper packaging, labeling, and transportation of HW and universal waste (UW) from accumulation area to a facility for ultimate disposal. The contractor shall ensure the waste is disposed at a properly permitted treatment storage or disposal facility and that copies of all manifests and other required documents are provided through the CO to 50 CES/CEIE. The contractor shall pay all costs associated with regulated substance management and disposal.
