STATEMENT OF WORK

Replacement of Fuel Oil Boiler in the Shiloh Battlefield Visitor Center at Shiloh National Military Park

1. SCOPE OF WORK: The work to be completed by this project is to replace a Weil-McLain fuel oil fired hot water boiler, water piping and fittings, exhaust flue, and fuel supply piping with a new propane fired Weil-McLain or equivalent hot water boiler, new water piping and fittings, new exhaust flue, and new fuel supply piping. Low water cut-off switching and electrical connections will be included.

The new replacement propane fired Weil-McLain or equivalent hot water boiler will be sized accordingly to be comparable to meet standards of fuel oil compared to propane BTU efficiency. New piping and fittings will be used to connect supply and return lines. Old lines may not connect to new unit as is, so rerouting of these lines may have to be utilized.
