Statement of Work Clean/Disinfect Cooling Towers This project is intended to disinfect and then clean cooling tower basins, distribution panels and condenser water strainers for the purpose of complying with OSHA, JCAHO and VACO Directive 1061requirements. The cooling towers are located at building #501 11301 Wilshire Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90073 and building #202 16111 Plummer St. Sepulveda, CA 91343 Online Disinfection: The pre-disinfection will be performed prior to the physical cleaning of the system. To begin disinfection, elevated levels of an oxidizing biocide will be added, per Cooling Tower Institute (CTI) recommendations for routine online disinfection. A biodispersant or deposit release chemistry will be added to increase the performance of the disinfection by breaking-up and removing organic material, bacteria, and slime that are in the fill. Chemistry will be monitored and documented. Physical System Cleaning: Half of the cooling tower will be isolated and drained for the manual cleaning process. The other half of the tower must remain on line, so it must be cleaned in two portions. Clean the entire internal and external areas. The physical cleaning will include the cleaning of the drift eliminator areas, internal sump, basin, and fan plenum areas. The intent of the physical cleaning process is to remove dirt, debris, bacteria, and organic material that have collected on the surfaces. Using high-pressure washers, the debris will be pushed towards the basin. Once the debris is isolated, it will be bagged and disposed of. Final System Disinfection: Following the manual cleaning process of the entire system, the cooling tower will be completely refilled and disinfected again as per the Online Disinfection above. At this point, the system may require another drain & refill depending on system turbidity. Project Validation: Once the project is completed, provide thorough written documentation of the disinfection process. This documentation will include an inspection report, a detailed review of the procedures used, and an executive summary of the completed work. The project validation will also include digital before and after pictures to document the results.
