The contractor must design and deliver a comprehensive service-oriented water treatment program covering boiler systems, cooling towers, heating water circulating systems, and chilled water systems. The program shall reduce fuel and electrical consumption through improved heat transfer efficiency, minimize repair and maintenance costs from scale and corrosion, provide professional service personnel, monitor program results with quantifiable data, and train all building Environmental Technicians on implementation and control.

All water treatment chemicals must be available on GSA schedule.

Service delivery demands biweekly facility visits, 24-hour chemical delivery capability, and 24-hour emergency response (two-hour response under critical circumstances). The contractor must maintain in-house laboratory capabilities including scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic absorption spectrophotometer, and microbiological analysis with 30-minute turnaround on organism quantification. Annual boiler and chiller inspections with photographic documentation, quarterly efficiency reports, corrosion and oxygen studies, and annual business reviews 90 days prior to contract expiration are required. The contractor assumes all chemical drum handling and disposal. No subcontractors are permitted except for equipment-related work.
