1.0 SCOPE OF WORK:
Overview:
This Project will replace the existing blowdown tank, the existing ecology tank, will demolish the existing flash tank, the abandoned feedwater chemical treatment tanks, the abandoned chemical treatment pumps, and the associated piping. The replacement of the ecology tank with a new blowdown separator tank will require installing a new sanitary sewer line beneath the basement floor slab.
Note: Prior to performing any work on the blowdown system, the contractor shall coordinate with the Construction Manager and the Power Plant General foreman to isolate the tank or portion of the blow down system being worked on. The blowdown and ecology tanks shall not be taken out of service simultaneously.
Note: The final configuration of the blowdown system is shown in the P&ID drawing in Attachment 5. The contractor shall reutilize portions of the existing piping in its existing location, to reconfigure the blowdown system as shown in the P&ID drawing, installing new lines where necessary to establish the new configuration. Abandoned lines shall be cut and capped.
Existing Piping Inspection and Classification:
1.1 All piping 2” or larger that will be left in place and reutilized shall be inspected to determine its integrity and its fouling condition. The schedule of this piping is
Subj: 2019_1581197_B72_MM UEM ST – REPLACE BLOWDOWN AND FLASH TANKS Date: 09/19/18 Page: 2 of 24 unknown. The contractor shall determine the schedule and shall identify any piping that was planned to be reutilized that has lost more than 10% of its wall thickness, or any piping that with a cross sectional area that has been reduced by more than 10% due to fouling. If using ultrasonic methods, the pipe shall be tested every 20
ft. The contractor shall notify the Construction Manager of any sections of pipe that exceed the wall loss or fouling conditions identified in this paragraph.
Demolition and Remediation of the Abandoned Feedwater Chemical Treatment Area:
1.2 The contractor shall completely remove all of the components of the abandoned feedwater chemical treatment area. This includes, but it not exclusive to, all four chemical storage tanks, pumps, piping, fittings, valves, tubes, wiring, conduit, hangers, frames used to support the system. Figures 1 & 2 show the area to be remediated and demolished.

Page: 3 of 24
1.3 There is an unquantified amount of feedwater treatment chemicals remaining in the tanks and in distribution system in these areas. The contractor shall hire a sub-contractor specializing in hazardous waste remediation to safely remove and dispose of the remaining chemicals in accordance with all Navy, Local, State, and Federal laws, codes, and regulations.
1.3.1 The placards for one of the four chemical tanks is missing. The chemical held in that tank is unknown. Power Plant personnel have been unable to locate the MSDS sheets for the chemicals in all four tanks.
1.3.2 The known chemicals in three of the tanks, manufactured by Betz Dearborn, are Cortol IS104, Optisperse PO423, and Optisperse ADJ561. The contractor will need to sample the unknown tank to determine what precautions and controls are required to remediate its contents.
1.4 All wiring and conduit in the abandoned feedwater chemical treatment area shall be pulled back to the nearest panel outside the area and made electrically safe. The motors are powered by MCC #2. The motor starters are fed from the small panel next to the air receiver for the emergency air compressor.
Blowdown Tank:
1.5 The contractor shall disconnect the wiring and the air tubing servicing the four existing blowdown control valves metering the flow of blowdown into the blowdown tank. The contractor shall then remove these valves and their hangers.
The wiring shall be pulled back to the Distributed Control System (DCS) panel. The associated conduit shall be removed back to the nearest junction box, and made electrically safe. The air tubing shall be removed back to the nearest air pipe and shall be capped (the tubes originate from a pipe directly above the valves).

Note: There are two paths for the continuous blowdown from HRSG #2 to enter the existing blow tank. The contractor shall select the one most convenient to connect to the new blowdown tank and shall cut and cap the other one, while maintaining the flow path to the sample cooler.
1.7 The contractor shall remove the check valve in the 6” line feeding the 5 lb steam system. The contractor shall replace fill the gap left by the check valve with a flanged section of pipe using carbon steel flanges to match the class of the existing flanges to which the pipe will be mated.

1.8 The contractor shall disconnect the wiring from the sensors on the blowdown tank and energy recovery system. Unless the conductors are in good condition and will be reutilized with the new blowdown tank high level alarm, they shall be pulled back to the DCS panel. All conduit exclusively serving these conductors exclusively shall be removed back to the DCS panel, or a junction box where other conductors are consolidated into a larger conduit. Conduit that is in good condition and that will be reutilized with the high level alarm conductors may be left in place.

The plates for these two boilers shall allowing flow rates to be set from 300 PPH to 3500 PPH of blowdown water when the boiler is operating at 200 psig. All orifice plates shall have at least seventeen indexable positions, one of which closes the valve (zero flow). These indexable positions shall allow for 3% to 5% boiler blowdown throughout the operating range of the HRSGs and the direct fire boilers. This may require non-standard orifice plates.

1.18.2 The contractor shall enlarge the existing roof penetration as necessary to accommodate the larger line sealing around its perimeter to prevent water entry stemming from this opening. The seal shall be designed and manufactured to withstand the temperature and thermal expansion / contraction of the pipe as it vents approximately 212°F steam to atmosphere.
Details of the penetration are shown in Attachment (5). Note that the roof is currently under warranty. The contractor shall engage the installer of the existing roof to ensure that work is performed in a manner that does not compromise the roof’s warranty. The Government will provide the contact information for the roof installer.

3.4. Contractor shall provide all supervision, labor, materials, tools, equipment, and transportation necessary to perform tasks within this project.
3.5. Utility Locating Requirements:
The Contractor shall locate all utilities within the limits of ground penetrating work as specified in Specification Section 01 35 26.00 22 (PNSY).
The contractor shall provide the services of a qualified independent utility locating company/person(s) (Cannot be the Government’s Utility Locating Firm).
The utility locating company shall indicate the utility type, size, and depth of all utilities within the proposed area of excavation including, but not limited to, voice/data, electrical, gas, water, sanitary sewer, and storm drainage.
The Contractor shall be responsible for any damage to underground utilities which occur during excavation or ground penetrating work.
The contractor/excavator shall notify Dig Safe (1-888-344-7233) within 14 calendar days, but no more than 30 calendar days, prior to the start of excavation or ground penetrating activity.
