QUESTION & ANSWERS

QUESTION (Q)

ANSWERS (A)

Q: The equipment replacement requirements are not detailed enough to properly bid without the following clarifications:

A: Per SOW: Pine Bluff Arsenal (PBA) has a requirement for two (2) each complete High Efficiency Steam Boilers systems… to include, inside delivery, installation, start-up and testing at Bldg. 34-125. The contractor shall furnish all labor, travel, material, parts, kits, permits, tools, components (valves, controls, fittings, etc.), subparts and equipment necessary to install two (2) each steam boilers systems… Equipment, including both the boilers and all ancillary equipment, shall be tested once installed to verify all aspects of the system are operating within parameters of the required specifications. Essentially, this contract is a turn-key solution provided by the winning contractor.

Q: Existing boilers are rated at 350 HP and 12,075 LBS/HR steam. Statement of work indicates boilers LBS/HR steam to be 13,500 LBS/HR that would equate to 391.3 HP. This would be a size between a Standard 350 HP Boiler or a 400 HP Boiler. If we go with a 400 HP Boiler the stack outlet would increase to 24” in lieu of the existing 20” boiler stack and the 20” that would be furnish on a 350 HP Boiler. This would require the boiler stacks to be changed.

A. Provide equipment capable of producing 13,500 lbs. /hr. of steam. It is acceptable to increase the tack size.

Q: The existing boilers are gas #2 oil fired. Do you want just gas fired burners and you mention low NOx with no specific NOx level. Typical low NOx would be 30 PPM. What level do you want?
