(those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR

Part 7).

Write to:

Wage and Hour Administrator

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board

(formerly the

Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

LOCATION. Bradley ANG Base, 100 Nicholson Rd, East Granby, CT 06026-9309. Arrangements for entrance onto the Base must be made by contacting Base Engineering at (860) 292-2484 or (860) 292-2594 between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this specification is to remove old and procure/ install new heating solution, hot water heater, and building air compressor for Building 27, Munitions. The government requires a heating solution that is durable, reliable, economical, energy efficient that meets all requirements of the Department of Defense (DOD), Air Force (AF) and National Guard Bureau (NGB).

BACKGROUND. Building 27 is heated by a single Burnham condensing boiler that was installed in 1993. Due to an improper sealing of the boiler, several sections began to leak and eventually cracked. This condition has caused to boiler to be permanently shut down and resulting in complete replacement. The government needs a new heating solution to replace this single boiler. A preferred replacement would be two smaller, modular-type boilers that would provide redundancy and much better efficiency for the building.

There also exist a gas-fired, 200 gallon hot water heater within this same mechanical room. This heater is much larger than required for the building and requires replacement with a much more energy efficient demand hot water solution.

Finally, there is an 80 gallon, reciprocal-type air compressor that is bulky and leaking oil. The government requires a replacement air compressor that is energy efficient and quieter than the existing.

SCOPE. The work covered in this contract consists of furnishing all labor, expertise, equipment, materials, facilities, transportation, and appliances necessary to perform operations in connection with the removal / replacement of boiler, hot water heater, and air compressor in buildings 27 at Bradley ANG Base. The work provided by the contractor shall be compliant with manufactures specifications on installation, and includes the work described in paragraph 5. Where applicable, requirements of the contract documents apply to alteration work in the same manner as to new construction.

SUMMARY OF WORK. Work shall consist of, but not be limited to:

a. A pre-construction meeting must take place with the Facility Manager, Fire Chief, Base Safety, Contracting Official, Security, Commutations, and Base Civil Engineer.

b. Provide required paper work, warranty and standard operating procedures.

c. Submit list of all chemicals that will be used on this project. Provide Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) where appropriate.

d. If welding or torch cutting or soldering is needed for removal or installation of boilers, a burn permit is required each day before work is to be done. The permit must be obtained from the base fire department.

e. Boilers will be KN Series Gas Boilers manufactured by Hydrotherm with options or equivalent, evaluated based on energy savings, reliability, ease of maintenance.

f. Building 27 room 5. Contractor shall remove 1 Burnham model v-910 State number CT 071339, from building and dispose of properly. The contractor shall return all boiler sections that are operational to civil engineering Facility Manager. A credit and letter of disposal shall be provided to the Contracting Officer for any metals, i.e. copper, that are removed from Government Property IAW 103 AWI 32-105.
