If conflicting guidance is provided, the stricter of the two shall be implemented. If standards are contradictory, they will be brought to the attention of the government to provide further guidance.

2. GENERAL INFORMATION:

The Project location is Eielson Air Force Base (EAFB). EAFB is located approximately twenty-five (25) miles southeast of Fairbanks, Alaska. It is highway accessible via the Richardson Highway. The site is also served by the Alaska Railroad.

This project is to be accomplished within the existing EAFB Central Heat and Power Plant (CHPP) complex and predominantly within the existing CHPP building. The CHPP complex is a secure site within the Air Force Base.

The CHPP complex is a mature and developed site. The CHPP provides essential utilities to the Base and has been meeting this need since the early 1950’s. It is critical to the operation of the Base and provides essential services. The operation of the CHPP cannot be interrupted and the plant is currently configured as a 25 MW coal fired cogeneration plant. It provides both primary electric energy and primary thermal energy, in the form of steam, to the Base.

Eielson Air Force Base is a secure military facility and access to the base and facilities are controlled. The Contractor will be required to plan, monitor, and execute security specific procedures since the CHPP is a secure site and all access to the plant is controlled. See Appendix A “Security and Access to Controlled Areas” for specific security requirements.

Contractor shall maintain all necessary personnel and equipment access for the ongoing operation and maintenance of the facility and systems. The existing overhead door on the north side of the plant, and the floor hatch on the inside of the plant (adjacent to the overhead door), are primary access points for plant personnel in moving oversized equipment and bulk materials. The Contractor shall coordinate through the Contracting Officer (CO) when requesting and scheduling material movement in and out of the CHPP.

The CHPP is critical to the operation of the EAFB as it provides essential services. The need for interruptions (beyond the contractual shut-down of Boiler #4) is not anticipated and is to be avoided. The Contractor shall carefully plan and coordinate all potential, partial interruptions or out of service requirements with the CO a minimum of 15 days in advance. Any interruptions or out of service periods shall be entirely avoided for the overall CHPP. Any interruptions or out of service periods for Boiler #4 during the duration of repair should be coordinated with the CHPP through the CO to ensure the ability of the other boilers at the CHPP to support the needs of the base. All coordination impacting the operation or change in status of any plant systems, equipment, or capabilities with Contracting Officer. Contractor shall not operate or manipulate existing facility systems without specific approval.

2.1 CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION

The EAFB CO and Contracting Specialist (CS) are responsible for administration of the contract. No change shall be made in the provisions of this contract without written authorization from the CO. The Base Civil Engineer (BCE) monitors the work and services furnished, and evaluates the performance of the Contractor as the CO’s Technical Representative (COTR). The COTR is not a CO and has no authority to contractually bind the Government or modify the contract.

2.2 GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTATION

3.2 OBJECTIVES

The Contractor shall provide the Government with sufficient technical, supervisory, and administrative personnel to ensure repair of Boiler #4 and other components required to accomplish the work specified in this SOW to complete the maintenance on Boiler #4. The work shall meet all relevant UFC, ASME BVPC, and DOD standards. The Contractor shall meet the following requirements at a minimum:

• Boiler #4 shall be repaired with quality materials and workmanship throughout and in accordance with all applicable codes and industry standard references.

• CRITICAL: Boiler #4 can only be off-line during a specific period, typically 15 April through 15 September each calendar year. The Contractor’s Period-of-Performance (PoP) shall be 154 calendar days from the date Boiler #4 is officially transferred to the Contractor (in writing). All repair work, including completion of final on-line testing, shall be completed prior to the end of this PoP. Note: Off-site and on-site, pre-repair activities (e.g. mobilization, safety plans, etc.) that do not require Boiler #4 being off-line may be accomplished following Notice to Proceed and prior to the PoP.

• Successful support of the mission is of the highest importance. Choice of materials and methods of construction shall not compromise the mission of the facility or the safety of operating personnel and shall optimize quality, function, aesthetics, economy, maintainability, and life cycle cost. It is the intent of the Air Force that this facility and the equipment and auxiliary systems have a 25-year useful design life and a 50 year life expectancy with industry accepted maintenance and repair cycles.

• The repairs should provide an appropriate level of quality to ensure the continued use of the facility, equipment and systems over that time period with the application of reasonable preventive maintenance and repairs. It is the Air Force’s objective that this project support and contribute to the operation of a stable, highly reliable electric and steam generation system. Therefore, the repairs shall provide an appropriate level of reliability, availability, and maintainability with the application of reasonable preventative maintenance and repair. Requirements stated in this contract are minimums. Innovative, creative, and life cycle cost effective solutions, which meet or exceed these requirements are encouraged.

• The goal of the Air Force is to deliver quality facilities that enhance mission effectiveness and protect the environment. The focus on quality must be maintained throughout project. The objectives of the Air Force are to deliver the project on time, within available funds and in a safe manner that satisfies the needs of the users.

• NOTE: Boiler #4 has been previously abated, with hazardous materials removed, in 1994. Reference drawings in Appendix B, Rehabilitate Boiler #1, CH&PP, for an idea of the extent of rework and hazardous materials removal that was conducted on Boiler #4. The information in Appendix B is “For Information Only” to help the Contractor understand the general layout and extents of Boiler #1 and is not part of the work required within this contract. In addition, Boiler #1 was surveyed for any residual contamination (such as asbestos fibers adhered within the boiler tube slag) prior to rehabilitation work in 2015, with no hazardous materials encountered. Since Boiler #1 is nearly identical in its construction, upkeep, and rehabilitation, the Contractor shall assume for proposal pricing there is no hazardous materials removal involved with the work in this contract. Follow Section 01 35 26 GOVERNMENTAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS, Paragraph 3.1.2 Unforeseen Hazardous Material, if any hazardous materials are discovered or encountered.

3.3 SCOPE, BASE CONTRACT (applies only to Boiler #4 unless specifically stated otherwise):
