7. Inspection and Acceptance A government representative shall inspect and approve the work. The Contractor shall schedule inspection a minimum of 2 days in advance.

8. Period of Performance This boiler repair is extremely urgent and can be detrimental to operations and the mission of this research center. If boiler 1 goes down we will lose the ability to heat the building, operation of autoclaves and other sterilizing equipment. With it being the time of the year, it is this will cause a complete building shut down and all domestic water lines, fire protection and heating water will have to be drained to prevent freezing and rupturing of piping.

Furthermore, the boiler controls are proprietary and obsolete. Procuring new components is almost impossible with months of lead time. Boiler 2 suffered a Modbus control failure prior to the tube rupturing which leads us to believe but not confirmed yet, that the boiler may have run low on water causing the tubes to overheat and crack. Once the tubes are replaced boiler 2 will not run until controls are replaced due to the control failure.

Work must begin no more than 6 weeks after the awarding of the contract.

8.1 Work Hours:

Generally, contractor work hours shall be Monday through Friday, 7:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. except on Government holidays for most of the installation work. Tie-in or other work requiring outages will be performed after hours (pre-arranged at least 48 hours in advance).
