508-19-2-539-0038 10 STATEMENT OF WORK Plant Veeder-Root ATG replacement and Tank sump repair project Scope of Work: The Contractor shall provide all resources necessary to accomplish the deliverables described in this statement of work (SOW), except as may be otherwise specified. The purpose of this work is to install a new Veeder-Root RF TLS-450 ATG with wireless sensors or industry standard equivalent for the 25K fuel oil tank located underground in the loading dock B service court in front of the cooling tower that supplies fuel oil to the main boiler plant room BC115, and repair the tank inspection sump which has been breached and fills with rainwater from the surrounding area in the service court, and the disconnection and removal of the existing plant Veeder-Root TLS solid state TLS-350 ATG located in room BC115. Note: All equipment and parts and miscellaneous items demolished will be disposed of off-site by the contractor. The VA retains possession of the old TLS-350 ATG monitor and tank probe. The contractor will perform the following work and furnish and install the following equipment listed below. Pressure wash, clean and dry the tank sump. Remove any necessary piping and risers from the sumps to get access to the entry fittings where the sump is leaking. Clean the silicone from around the entry sleeve and cut the sleeve flush with the sump wall. Using pneumatic tools, sand the sump wall around each pipe and clean smooth for new entry fitting. Clean the sanded area around each pipe entry and make necessary repairs to the sump wall using fiberglass sheets and fiberglass before installing the entry fitting. Install fiberglass entry fittings around all the pipe entering the sumps through the sump walls. Reconnect all the piping and risers that were removed from the sump if necessary. Remove the dirt and debris down to the gravel between the sump lid opening and the manhole skirt so that the surface water will drain into the tank pit through the gravel. Hydrostatic test the sump to insure there are no leaks. Remove existing ATG system for the tank located in room BC-115. Saw cut, break and remove concrete from the UST sump to the corner of the cooling tower slab. Excavate a trench 12" x 24" in excavated area and place (1) ¾" conduit in the bottom of the trench. Cut an entry hole in the side of the UST sump for the ¾" conduit and run the conduit into the sump using a fiberglass entry boot so seal the conduit to the sump to prevent leaking. Exit the trench at the cooling tower slab by turning a joint of ¾" conduit up connecting it to the slab with the required explosive fittings attached to the conduit. Backfill the excavated area up to 6" from existing grade using the material removed from the excavation and compact. Drill dowel hole in the existing concrete down each side of the trench ever 16" and place a dowel in each hole. Pour 6" of 4000 PSI concrete with fiber in the excavated area and finish. Run approximately 200' of conduit up approximately 8' and across the bottom side of the cooling tower to the building and up to the room where the tank monitor will be mounted. Mount the tank monitor on the wall using existing 120-volt AC power located within 5' feet of the tank monitor. Core Drill a hole through the concrete wall that the tank monitor is mounted on aligned with the adjacent wall in the stairs area. Run conduit through the drilled hole and across the wall to the ceiling in the entry way in front of the elevators. Run conduit from the boiler control panel in the boiler room to and through the back wall into the ceiling area. Pull (1) Cat-6 cable approximately 300' through the conduit from the boiler control panel to ceiling area, across the drop ceiling into the hall, down the hall toward the elevators, across the drop ceiling in front of the elevators into the conduit going from room with stair to the tank monitor. Pull (2) shielded cables from the UST tank sump to through the new conduit to the tank monitor. Install New RF TLS-450 head unit or industry standard equivalent (customer is responsible for providing 120-volt power) Install Communication board and Input / Output Relay board into head unit. Install RF Wireless Receiver and wire to head unit. Install Probe, sump sensor, and secondary leak sensor into tank. Install RF Wireless Transmitter mounting Brackets. Install wireless Transmitters with battery backups for probes and sensors. Install Remote Alarm and acknowledgment panel. Program and Test RF TLS-450 head unit or industry standard equivalent with wireless probe and sensors. Run new ¾ NPT conduit for CAT6 cable from TLS-450 to boiler management system controller in boiler room. Provide training of VA boiler plant and Safety GEMS coordinator in the operations, troubleshooting etc. of the RF TLS-450 or industry standard equivalent system for the tank. Provide Georgia EPD ATG certification for the current year of this contract. 2. Background: The old TLS-350 system provided monitoring of three 25K UST. Under the CHP project two of the 25K UST are being removed leaving a total of one 25K UST to be monitored. The old boilers have been replaced with 4 new modern boilers. The need for an extra 50K gallons of fuel oil is no longer required as one 25K tank is now adequate to meet the boiler plant requirements per VHA-1810. The present Veeder-Root TLS 350 system has been in service for over 25 years and is due for replacement. The ongoing construction over the past two years in the service court has rendered the present Veeder-Root TLS 350 ATG system inoperable and the cost to repair the current obsolete system is not as cost affective compared to doing a complete system replacement for the future needs of the VA Health Care System. 3. Performance Period: This shall be a firm, fixed price to be completed 30 business days after contract is awarded. 4. Type of Contract: This shall be firm fixed price contract. B.

Statistical and other technical terminology shall not be used without providing a glossary of terms. 3. Where a written milestone deliverable is required in draft form, the VA will complete their review of the draft deliverable within (5) calendar days from date of receipt. The contractor shall have (10) calendar days to deliver the final deliverable from date of receipt of the government s comments. D. SPECIFIC MANDATORY TASKS AND ASSOCIATED DELIVERABLES Description of Tasks and Associated Deliverables: The contractor shall provide all necessary material to complete the replacement of the Veeder-Root TLS-350 system with a new Veeder-Root RF 450 ATG system with wireless sensors or industry standard equivalent for one 25K tank.
