SOW FOR FIRE EXTINGUISHER BETA SAM POST.pdf

Statement of Work

1) General Statement:

a. During the course of basic and advanced firefighting training conducted at MSC Training

Center Hampton Roads, Fort Eustis Virginia (TCHR), each student is required to handle and discharge 15 lb. portable carbon dioxide (CO2) fire extinguishers during their practical assessments. The number of extinguishers discharged varies widely based on the proficiency of each student, the number of students in each class and the total number of classes in a year.

b. This Statement of Work is for expended training CO2 Extinguisher inspection and refill, including round trip handling fees between the MSC TCHR and the vendor’s facility.

2) Contract Requirements The inspection procedure is broken down as follows:

a. Ordering Period: Service calls for recharging and delivery of extinguishers will be on a monthly basis. TCHR will contact the servicing company two weeks prior to needed services.

Bottles should be returned to TCHR no later than one week after pick-up. Delivery is between the hours of 0800 – 1400 EST Monday to Friday; or other mutually agreed upon time.

b. Upon receipt at vendor facility, each CO2 cylinder is inspected to verify whether or not it requires hydrostatic testing. If the cylinder is out of date, hydrostatic testing is performed.

If the cylinder passes, it continues through the inspection and refill process. If the cylinder fails hydrostatic testing it is condemned and removed from service (TCHR notified).

c. Cylinders which pass Hydrostatic testing are then inspected for functionality of the discharge valve assembly. If the discharge valve assembly is intact and operating properly, the cylinder is then recharged with CO2. If the discharge valve assembly is damaged or inoperable, the valve and associated seals/consumables are replaced prior to the cylinder being recharged with CO2.

d. Once each cylinder is recharged with CO2, the cylinder is inspected to see if the discharge safety pin and/or lanyard are still in place. If the pin has been retained, it is reinserted into the discharge valve handle to prevent accidental discharge and secured with a plastic seal indicating the unit recharge is complete and the unit is ready for service. If the safety pin and/or lanyard are missing, a new safety pin and/or lanyard are installed and sealed indicating that the recharge is complete and the unit is ready for service.

e. Once the unit is ready for service it will be returned to the user. Each unit should be returned to the user as soon as possible but no later than five business days from the pick-up date.

**1 May 2021 start date will be adjusted in accordance with actual award date.
