Optional Equipment (con’t)

VACUUM BREAKER SYSTEMS

• For model ES boilers P/N ES89369

• For model SSB boilers P/N SSB89369

A vacuum breaker will prevent a boiler from flooding as a result of the steam condensing internally and creating a vacuum after boiler shutdown. The breaker allows air to enter the boiler shell breaking the vacuum. This system is a must for boilers connected to a condensate return tank. The vacuum breaker consists of a spring-loaded disc and associated piping and is factory plumbed to the boiler. The SSB89369 is of stainless steel construction.

AUTOMATIC BLOWDOWN SYSTEM

• Extends life of boiler

• Saves labor costs

• Starts the boiler automatically every day

• Shuts down the boiler every day

• Automatically blows down the boiler every day

• Completely programmable, can skip days, different start and shutdown times, different operational durations.

• ES81600 for all model boilers.

A stainless steel, motor driven straight-through, self-cleaning ball valve with Teflon seats handles particles and dirty fluid without the use of an up-stream strainer or other cleaning device. A timer (Standard analog time clock is set for two hour time intervals, optional digital time clock can be programmed to one minute intervals.) and electronic time delay relay control the boiler and the blowdown valve. A pilot light indicates when the blowdown valve is open.

The valve shall be plumbed to a proper drain or receptacle.

An automatic blowdown system can be installed on any boiler, regardless of size operating pressure or operating duty cycle.

BLOWDOWN SEPARATORS (see page 18)

Sussman Boilers Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual

• For models ES12-48 and SSB12-48 p/n BDT-ASME36

• For models ES60-180 and SSB60-180 p/n BDT-ASME42

A separator accepts the flash steam and effluent from the boiler blowdown and reduces the temperature and pressure to insure a safe discharge of water and sludge. Steam flash and pressure are absorbed and pass harmlessly to the outside via a vent. The separator design utilizes a water seal at the outlet, which permits the operator to introduce cold water from the bottom to mix with the hot water and boiler steam in the blowdown separator. This reduces outlet temperature to a safe discharge level.

These separators require specific plumbing from the boiler blowdown valve and require connection to a cold water supply. [If the separator is less than half full of water after the boiler

PAGE 19 OF 63 1305M323QNFFM0138

is blown down cold water must be added to bring the water level to the halfway mark before the next blowdown.

• 0-30 psig pressure gauge; 0-200F temperature gauge; water sight gauge glass and valve set assembly are included.

CONTROL VOLTAGE STEPDOWN TRANSFORMER

• Provides 120 Volt (220 Volt export) from main power supply. Factory wired and fused.

MULTISTAGE LOAD PROGRESSIVE SEQUENCERS

Accurate control is provided by automatic progressive sequencing in the use of energy and minimizing wear on electrical components. The sequencers are designed to apply power progressively to larger KW boilers. A factory installed pressure sensitive sequential control reacting to steam boiler pressure progressive energizes or de-energizes heating elements through power contactors. A delay between sequencer steps before start-up and between each subsequent step eliminates power surges. Each sequencer is matched and factory pre- set to boiler system requirements. Electronic progressive sequencers give accurate control of multi-stage loads of the type used in steam boilers. Features include progressive sequencing [first on-first off] that equalizes the operating time of each load. Integral solid-state light emitting diodes show active stages. Should a power interruption occur, all elements are instantly de-energized for safety. Upon resumption of power the control will re-stage the loads one at a time.

PAGE 21 OF 63 1305M323QNFFM0138

The Sussman separator design incorporates a water seal at the outlet which permits the operator to introduce cold water from the bottom to mix with the hot water and boiler steam blowdown in the separator. This reduces the outlet temperature to a level that makes it safe for discharge. If the separator is less than half full of water after the boiler is blown down, cold tap water must be added to bring the water level to the halfway mark before the next blowdown.

(End of Clause)

FAR 52.225-9 Buy American—Construction Materials (OCT 2022)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause—

Commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) item—

(1) Means any item of supply (including construction material) that is–

(i) A commercial product (as defined in paragraph (1) of the definition of “commercial product” at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 2.101);

PAGE 29 OF 63 1305M323QNFFM0138

(ii) Sold in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace; and

(iii) Offered to the Government, under a contract or subcontract at any tier, without modification, in the same form in which it is sold in the commercial marketplace; and

(2) Does not include bulk cargo, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(4), such as agricultural products and petroleum products.

"Construction material" means an article, material, or supply brought to the construction site by the

Contractor or a subcontractor for incorporation into the building or work. The term also includes an item brought to the site preassembled from articles, materials, or supplies. However, emergency life safety systems, such as emergency lighting, fire alarm, and audio evacuation systems, that are discrete systems incorporated into a public building or work and that are produced as complete systems, are evaluated as a single and distinct construction material regardless of when or how the individual parts or components of those systems are delivered to the construction site. Materials purchased directly by the Government are supplies, not construction material.

Cost of components means—

(1) For components purchased by the Contractor, the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the construction material (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued); or

(2) For components manufactured by the Contractor, all costs associated with the manufacture of the component, including transportation costs as described in paragraph (1) of this definition, plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the manufacture of the construction material.

Critical component means a component that is mined, produced, or manufactured in the United

States and deemed critical to the U.S. supply chain. The list of critical components is at FAR 25.105.

Critical item means a domestic construction material or domestic end product that is deemed critical to U.S. supply chain resiliency. The list of critical items is at FAR 25.105.

Domestic construction material means—

(1) For construction material that does not consist wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both-

(i) An unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the United States; or

(ii) A construction material manufactured in the United States, if–

(A)The cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 60 percent of the cost of all its components, except that the percentage will be 65 percent for items delivered in calendar years 2024 through 2028 and 75 percent for items delivered starting in calendar year 2029. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind for which nonavailability determinations have been made are treated as domestic. Components of unknown origin are treated as foreign; or

(B) The construction material is a COTS item; or

(2) For construction material that consists wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both, a construction material manufactured in the United States if the cost of foreign iron and steel constitutes less than 5 percent of the cost of all components used in such construction material.

PAGE 30 OF 63 1305M323QNFFM0138

The cost of foreign iron and steel includes but is not limited to the cost of foreign iron or steel mill products (such as bar, billet, slab, wire, plate, or sheet), castings, or forgings utilized in the manufacture of the construction material and a good faith estimate of the cost of all foreign iron or steel components excluding COTS fasteners. Iron or steel components of unknown origin are treated as foreign. If the construction material contains multiple components, the cost of all the materials used in such construction material is calculated in accordance with the definition of "cost of components".

Fastener means a hardware device that mechanically joins or affixes two or more objects together.

Examples of fasteners are nuts, bolts, pins, rivets, nails, clips, and screws.

Foreign construction material means a construction material other than a domestic construction material.

Foreign iron and steel means iron or steel products not produced in the United States. Produced in the United States means that all manufacturing processes of the iron or steel must take place in the United States, from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings, except metallurgical processes involving refinement of steel additives. The origin of the elements of the iron or steel is not relevant to the determination of whether it is domestic or foreign.

Predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both means that the cost of the iron and steel content exceeds 50 percent of the total cost of all its components. The cost of iron and steel is the cost of the iron or steel mill products (such as bar, billet, slab, wire, plate, or sheet), castings, or forgings utilized in the manufacture of the product and a good faith estimate of the cost of iron or steel components excluding COTS fasteners.

Steel means an alloy that includes at least 50 percent iron, between 0.02 and 2 percent carbon, and may include other elements.

"United States" means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas.

(b) Domestic preference. (1) This clause implements 41 U.S.C.chapter 83, Buy American, by providing a preference for domestic construction material. In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1907, the domestic content test of the Buy American statute is waived for construction material that is a COTS item, except that for construction material that consists wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both, the domestic content test is applied only to the iron and steel content of the construction materials, excluding COTS fasteners. (See FAR 12.505(a)(2)). The Contractor shall use only domestic construction material in performing this contract, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause.

(2) This requirement does not apply to information technology that is a commercial product or to the construction materials or components listed by the Government as follows:

________________________________________________[Contracting Officer to list applicable excepted materials or indicate "none"]

(3) The Contracting Officer may add other foreign construction material to the list in paragraph

(b)(2) of this clause if the Government determines that-

(i)The cost of domestic construction material would be unreasonable.

(A) For domestic construction material that is not a critical item or does not contain critical components.

(1)The cost of a particular domestic construction material subject to the requirements of the Buy American statute is unreasonable when the cost of such material exceeds the cost of foreign material by more than 20 percent;
