TITLE, BRADLEY AIR NATIONAL GUARD BASE

Removal / Replacement of Boiler in Buildings 27

PN: CEKT 092111

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.
