B.2 STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

BOILER PLANT SAFETY DEVICE TESTING, CALIBRATION, COMBUSTION ANALYSIS,

AND EMERGENCY REPAIR SERVICE

1. BACKGROUND:

The VANJ HealthCare System (VANJHCS) requires an annual service contract to calibrate all pressure gauges, boiler and plant controls and instrumentation (recorders and transmitters).

Boiler Plant Safety Device maintenance, inspection, testing and calibration. Boiler Combustion /

Emissions testing and tuning and Emergency Repair Service on nine (9) Cleaver Brooks Fire

Tube Boilers and Auxiliary Equipment that provide steam to the East Orange and the Lyons VA

Medical Center.

1. Both VAMC’s have a central boiler plant to provide steam for heating and air conditioning, domestic hot water, kitchens, and sterilization.

2. Boiler plant safety, reliability, efficiency, and equipment longevity are paramount concerns of Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) management. Boilers are extremely dangerous if not maintained properly. Malfunctioning burners or controls can cause catastrophic events resulting in injuries and death as well as massive property damage. Inaccurate or inadequate data management and monitoring systems can fail to warn of unsafe or inefficient performance. Regular inspections, testing and calibration by expert technicians are an essential part of a program to address these concerns.

3. This statement of work describes the requirements for the inspection, testing and calibration of the boiler plant burners, controls, instruments, and safety devices by qualified technicians in accordance with VHA Directive 1810 and the VHA Boiler Safety

Device Testing Manual (6th Edition).

4. VHA Directive 1810 requires annual and semi-annual Boiler and associated plant safety device inspection, testing, calibration, and semi-annual combustion / emissions adjustments / tuning, VHA Directive 1810 requires these services to be performed by a qualified professional third party that has documented knowledge and experience in the design and construction and VA’s standards for construction and testing of safety devices. In addition, the individual shall have demonstrated experience in conducting equipment assessments and performing testing in compliance with the VA safety device testing manual on at least 5 sites within the past 3 years.

2. OBJECTIVE:

This service contract is an annual maintenance contract on the Boilers and associated plant equipment at the East Orange VA Medical Center and the Lyons VA Medical Center to meet the requirements for the inspection, testing, tuning and calibration of the boiler plant burners, controls, all instrumentation including pressure gauges, transmitters, and safety devices by qualified technicians in accordance with VHA Directive 1810 and the VHA Boiler Safety Device

All Boiler Safety Device Inspections must be scheduled with the COR. Boiler Safety Devices will be tested every 6 months and must not interfere with Boiler cleanings and inspections. A detailed report of inspection for each safety device tested must be supplied to the COR. All failures must be immediately reported to the

COR and the Boiler Plant Operator. Replace any device that fails and is not able to be repaired or calibrated following the guidelines of unscheduled maintenance. Any new device must be calibrated to its proper set point and tested. If a test procedure will not achieve the desired results due to a fault in the written test procedure or configuration of the device the contractor will devise a new procedure that will accomplish the same end results and submit the procedure to the COR for approval. The contractor will then be provided written direction on how to proceed.

NOTE: Prior to the semi-annual and annual services, contractor shall ensure the following is performed:

• Verify the following boiler safety devices are in the correct locations and plumbed correctly.

• Verify the safety device set points are correct in relation to normal operating values.

• Verify the safety device activates and resets at the correct set points.

The Government reserves the right to inspect or test any supplies or services that have been tendered for acceptance. The Government may require repair or replacement of nonconforming supplies or reperformance of nonconforming services at no increase in contract price. If repair/replacement or reperformance will not correct the defects or is not possible, the Government may seek an equitable price reduction or adequate consideration for acceptance of nonconforming supplies or services. The

Government must exercise its post-acceptance rights—

(1) Within a reasonable time after the defect was discovered or should have been discovered;

and

(2) Before any substantial change occurs in the condition of the item, unless the change is due to the defect in the item.

Act (31 U.S.C. 3727). However, when a third party makes payment (e.g., use of the

The Contractor shall be liable for default unless nonperformance is caused by an occurrence beyond the reasonable control of the Contractor and without its fault or negligence such as, acts of God or the public enemy, acts of the Government in either its sovereign or contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, unusually severe weather, and delays of common carriers. The Contractor shall notify the

Contracting Officer of the cessation of such occurrence.

Electronic Funds Transfer—Other Than System for Award Management), or applicable agency procedures.

(C) EFT banking information is not required if the Government waived the requirement to pay by EFT.

(2) Invoices will be handled in accordance with the Prompt Payment Act (31 U.S.C. 3903) and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) prompt payment regulations at 5 CFR part 1315.

(h) Patent indemnity. The Contractor shall indemnify the Government and its officers, employees and agents against liability, including costs, for actual or alleged direct or contributory infringement of, or inducement to infringe, any United States or foreign patent, trademark or copyright, arising out of the performance of this contract, provided the Contractor is reasonably notified of such claims and proceedings.

(C) Affected line item or subline item, if applicable; and

In the event of such termination, the Contractor shall immediately stop all work hereunder and shall immediately cause any and all of its suppliers and subcontractors to cease work. Subject to the terms of this contract, the Contractor shall be paid a percentage of the contract price reflecting the percentage of the work performed prior to the notice of termination, plus reasonable charges the

Contractor can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Government using its standard record keeping system, have resulted from the termination. The Contractor shall not be required to comply with the cost accounting standards or contract cost principles for this purpose. This paragraph does not give the Government any right to audit the Contractor's records. The

Contractor shall not be paid for any work performed or costs incurred which reasonably could have been avoided.

(m) Termination for cause. The Government may terminate this contract, or any part hereof, for cause in the event of any default by the Contractor, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any contract terms and conditions, or fails to provide the Government, upon request, with adequate assurances of future performance. In the event of termination for cause, the Government shall not be liable to the Contractor for any amount for supplies or services not accepted, and the

Contractor shall be liable to the Government for any and all rights and remedies provided by law. If it is determined that the Government improperly terminated this contract for default, such termination shall be deemed a termination for convenience.
