5. TRI-ANNUAL 4-HOUR LOAD TESTING OF EMERGENCY GENERATORS:

Contractor is to provide all necessary labor, material, tools and equipment to perform tri-annual load testing on emergency generators. Starting in October of the year 2022, and every three years thereafter, Contractor shall perform a 4-hour load test on generators listed in tables below.

4.1 The VA will provide switching to isolate generators and assist with connections at the load test terminals.

4.2 In accordance with NFPA 110 Standards for Emergency & Standby Power Systems, 2002 Chapter 8 Routine Maintenance and Operational Testing, the service technician will hook external load bank at generator breaker. The technician will then apply a load of 30%, of generator nameplate rating, for two hours, followed by a load of 50% for two hours, for four continuous hours. The technician shall check all safeties associated with each generator. The four-hour test of each emergency generator is to occur on the same scheduled date as the annual two-hour load test and shall occur directly after the two-hour load test.

4.3 Individual emergency generator report forms are to indicate initial start-up time and load at each phase of load bank testing and total run-time. For the 30% and 50% load bank test phases, the initial readings are to be recorded with readings taken at 15-minute intervals thereafter. Test form is to delineate each phase of testing. Initial load bank test start and final stop times are to be shown on the test form. The technician’s signature, along with date each emergency generator was tested, is to appear on test form. Failure to provide test information, recording the minimum test loads levels, and testing intervals for less than the prescribed durations on the report form will require retesting of the generator(s) in question by the Contractor at no expense to the government.

4.4 Failure to provide a load bank of sufficient size, for generators list in tables below, and to test each emergency generator at or above KW loads for the prescribed time intervals cited in paragraph 4.2, shall result in Contractor performing the test again at no additional charge to the VA.

4.5 In the event that a generator, generator engine, or associated emergency power equipment failure occurs during the 4-hour load test, generating unit shall be successfully retested after necessary repairs or corrections are made to ensure compliance with JACHO Standard EC.7.40.7. Unit pricing is to be provided with contractor’s proposal for retesting of a generating unit, should failure occur during testing, under the following scenarios:
