C. DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATION/STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1.0 INTRODUCTION

The United States General Services Administration (GSA) Heating Operation and Transmission District (HOTD) owns and operates the Central Heating and Refrigeration Plant (CHRP). The GSA-CHRP produces chilled water and steam to comfort nearly 90 quasi-government buildings in the District of Columbia. The plant complies with the DC and Federal environmental regulations.

These regulations required that HOTD burns natural gas as primary fuel and No. 2 grade low-sulfur fuel oil as back-up fuel during an interrupt of natural gas supply by the natural gas supplier, Washington Gas.

The GSA-HOTD has five (5) boilers and a cogeneration unit 5C. Units 1, 2, and 6 are rated at 250 MMBtu/hr. Units 3 and 4 are rated at 500 MMBtu/hr. Unit 5C is rated at 326 MMBtu/hr. Because the GSA CHRP undergone boiler modification and reconstruction, the plant is required to comply with the New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) requirements – (Parts 60 and parts 75). These regulations required the GSA-CHRP to install and operate a continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS) and a continuous opacity monitoring system (COMS) to comply with applicable emissions limits. Additionally, the plant is a major source because it emits more than 25 tons of NOx per year. Any source that emits more than 25 tons of NOx per year in the District of Columbia is classified as a major source. While the EPA’s NOx Budget program (NPB) has long ended, the District of Columbia did require that three boilers at the GSA-CHRP will continue to comply with the NBP because each of those boilers has heat-input exceeding 250 MMBtu/Hr.

heat-input limit. Therefore, Boilers 3, 4, and 5C are subject to the requirements of the NOX Budget Program, which is 40 CFR Part 75. Because of the stringency of 40 CFR Part 75, all quality control and quality assurance (QC/QA) services on the CEMS system, including linearity and relative accuracy testing audit (RATA) services, shall be performed in accordance with 40 CFR Part 75.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Air Act, as outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations, 40 CFR Parts 60, 70 (Title V program) 75, and Part 70, established emission standards for the following pollutants (NOX, SO2, PM, CO, VOC) in Lbs./MMBtu and Visible Emissions (Opacity), 6-minute average data in percent (%).

HOTD is required to continuously monitor NOx to comply with a 0.2 Lbs./MMBtu per every two hours, using the CEMS to comply. The CEMS serves all six units and are identical systems installed by the Environmental Systems Corporation (ESC), Inc and runs on an ESC-proprietary software, StackVision. There are six (6) separate NOX analyzers, six

(6) separate CO analyzers, six (6) separate remote O2 analyzers, and three (3) data logger/controllers assigned to boiler pairs (1-2, 3-4, & 5-6). All units are tied together into a common ESC data acquisition system.

C.1.1 Scope of Work/Technical Specifications The purpose of this technical specification (TS) is to identify and retain a contractor for the purpose of providing a single point of contact for a consolidated Title V CEMS preventive maintenance and boiler tuning service contract which includes the following service requirements:

C. DESCRIPTION/ SPECIFICATION/ STATEMENT OF WORK

1. CEMS Relative Accuracy Test Audit (RATA) Service Requirements

2. Preventive Maintenance and Linearity Testing Services for the CEMS and Opacity Monitors

3. Annual Boiler Tuning Service Requirements

The Contractor shall provide management, supervision, labor, materials, equipment, and supplies (shipping & handling) and shall be responsible for the efficient, effective, and satisfactory tested operation, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, repair of equipment and systems, as determined through testing and tuning services on boilers, CEMS and COMS located within the property line of the following locations:

GSA Central Heating and Refrigeration Plant (GSA CHRP) at 325 13th Street, SW, Washington, DC 20228.

The categories of work include testing and certifying equipment in accordance with applicable environmental regulations. These service requirements are detailed in the sections C.1.2, C.1.3 and C.1.4 below:

More emphasis is placed on the Contractor’s self-management of quality, not the usual external inspection by Government Inspectors, although that is a part of this Contract as well. All parties should act proactively to reduce service cost, therein providing an incentive for the Contractor.

The Contractor, through innovation, technology, or other means, shall perform the required CEMS/COMS equipment testing and boiler tuning maintenance by following our Guiding Principles for Sustainable Existing Buildings:

1. Employ Integrated Assessment, Operation and Management Principles

a. In conjunction with the Contract Officer (CO) or designee establish operational performance goals for energy, water, material use and recycling, and indoor environmental quality, and ensure incorporation of these goals throughout the lifecycle of this Contract.

b. Ensure that decisions are carried out with regard to sustainable operations.

c. Use low emitting materials VOC (Volatile organic compounds) or other for maintenance. In particular, use products that have low pollutant emissions, adhesives, sealants, and solvents.

d. Use products meeting or exceeding EPA’s recycled content recommendations. For more information, see EPA’s Comprehensive Procurement Guideline website.

e. Use materials with the highest content level per USDA’s bio-based content recommendations for maintenance of or use in the building.

f. Use environmentally sustainable products that have a lesser or reduced effect on human health and the environment. See the Green Products Compilation.

g. Eliminate the use of ozone depleting compounds where alternative environmentally sustainable products are available consistent with the Clean Air Act.

2. Optimize Energy Performance – GSA is in the process of optimizing energy performance through many means and processes. Operate all equipment to optimize efficiency to reduce energy use and otherwise seek operating costs reductions wherever possible.

3. Protect and Conserve Water where possible inside and outside. Metering systems may be already installed or will be installed in government buildings to aid in reducing consumption. Where available, use EPA’s WaterSense-labeled products or other water conserving products.

4. Be aware that the building(s) and management involved with this Contract may be in the process of establishing processes, instituting plans, and operational procedures to meet energy efficiency goals either through receiving an ENERGY STAR rating, Smart Building/ Building Link technology, or comparable programs. The Contractor will play an integral part of obtaining these goals and should be aware of the programs and processes.

5. The purpose of partnering is to adopt procedures wherein the Contract and Government work together in achieving Contract objectives. Partnering involves the development of a cooperative management team that seeks to identify compatible interests, and common goals and objectives.

6. This is a fixed-price Contract and while working with the Government in obtaining goals the Contractor is motivated to find improved methods of performance in order to increase its profits. Results of an effective partnership should reflect a “mutual win” situation.

C.1.2 Relative Accuracy Test Audits (RATA)

The purpose of RATA is to compare emissions and other applicable data from the host facility's Continuous Emissions Monitor System (CEMS) to a simultaneously collected reference method test data from a contractor’s CEMS in order to assess the accuracy of the host facility’s (GSA- CHRP) CEMS readings.

The CEMS at the CHRP consists of equipment operated under software made by ESC that is housed in a rack enclosure in a dedicated room on the 5th floor at the plant, the CEMS Room.

Each stack has a dedicated CEMS that monitors, on a dilution extractive principal, the discharge of NOx, Carbon Monoxide (CO), O2 diluent gas, and opacity. Each stack CEMS utilizes the respective unit's fuel flow meters, including the Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) duct burner’s gas fuel flow meters for Unit 5C, to calculate that unit's total Heat Input. All stack gas analyzers and fuel flow meters have been installed and certified in accordance with the applicable requirements set forth in 40 CFR Part 60 and 40 CFR Part 75. The Plant utilizes an ESC model 1402 dilution probe for the sampling of NOx. The sample is diluted with clean instrument air at the probe. O2 is sampled separately using a different type of probe. There are six (6) Thermo Electron Instruments (TEI) Model 42i NOx Analyzers, six (6) AMP Cherokee model DFC- 100R Dilution Flow Controllers, six (6) Teledyne model T300 CO analyzers, and six (6) Ametek-produced WDG-V AMEVision HMI Host/Display O2 Analyzers. The CHRP CEMS utilizes three ESC model 8864 Data Loggers. The boilers are configured in pairs (1&2; 3&4 and 5&6) and each pair is assigned to a single Data Logger. A central server PC uses XML capable StackVision software on the data acquisition and handling system (DAHS) to collect and store plant environmental-related data and organize the data into required reporting format for regulatory agencies.

Summary Description of the CEMS

Each CEMS contains the following equipment:

• Dilution Sampling Probe

• Unheated Umbilical

• Dilution Control Panel

• Zero Air Supply

• Calibration Gas System and associated components

• Data loggers

• Analyzers

• Data Acquisition and Handling System (DAHS) – Server

The Opacity monitors at the CHRP consist of equipment made by Teledyne Monitor Labs: Light Hawk, model 560 Compliance Opacity/Dust monitor. The optical head and retro-reflector assemblies are housed in rugged aluminum investment castings. The optical head contains the active electronics necessary to produce an electro-dynamic pulsed LED light source across the stack/duct to retro-reflectors assembly and to detect transmitted light. The miniature retroreflector in combination with an overfill light source precludes misalignment concerns on the stack or duct.

C.1.2.1 RATA Test Protocol
