PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

CLEAN AIR ACT COMPLIANCE TESTING AND REPORTING

(TITLE V AIR PERMIT)

FOR

THE UNITED STATES ARMY GARRISON

AT WEST POINT, NY

INTRODUCTION

The United States Army Garrison West Point (hereafter referred to as West Point) has a requirement for a qualified contractor to perform air monitoring services at West Point. This will be a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) award, with a base year and 4 option years (2019-2024). West Point is a major facility for nitrogen oxides (NOx) and is regulated under a Title V air permit #3-3336-00022/00055 as amended for Year 2017-2022. The combustion sources consisting of boilers and generators on post are regulated for NOx emissions, opacity or both. Emissions from sulfur dioxide are regulated by the sulfur content of the fuel (diesel). The nine (9) boilers burn natural gas with the capability of #2 fuel oil as backup. One peak shaving generator and 5 emergency stand-by generators run on diesel. Numerous other emergency stand-by generators are not regulated under the Title V Permit but must comply with federal emission standards for NOx and CO.

The three boilers at the Central Power Plant (CPP) are regulated for opacity and monitored with a Continuous Opacity Meter System(COMS), which records and stores opacity data on data acquisition systems (DAS) located on a personal computer(s) located at the CPP. Quarterly opacity reports must be filed with the State DEC summarizing opacity values for the quarter in 6-min blocks of time, which, if any, exceeded the 20% opacity limit while burning oil. Although the COMS only needs to record and report data while burning oil, it runs while burning gas as a process control measure. Calibration of the COMS using certified filters is performed every quarter. Other permitted boilers and emergency stand-by generators (9) are tested for opacity annually using an EPA Method 9 visual opacity.

The two larger boilers at the CPP are also regulated for NOx emissions using a Predictive Emissions Monitoring System (PEMS). Data from oxygen sensors located in the breach of each of the two boilers and fuel meters for each boiler are recorded and stored in a DAS also on the same personal computer located at the CPP. Semi-Annual PEMS compliance reports are submitted to the DEC. Quarterly audits are performed with certified oxygen gases (Certified Gas Audits) and an annual Relative Accuracy Testing Audit conducted with a mobile Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS). Daily oxygen calibrations are performed with in-house gases. Values for zero and span and any deviations from zero and span values are recorded on the DAS.

The smaller boiler at the CPP must be tested for NOx RACT once in the 5-year period of the current Title V permit (2017-2022).

NOx RACT test protocols may be performed on occasion or when the boilers have changed operational conditions, fuel usage, etc.

1.2 Specific Issues Related to this Project are as listed below:

1.2.1 The Central Post Area (CPA), is a high visibility and important area within West Point and is the location of the academic areas for the United States Corps of Cadets.
