BACKGROUND: The Department of Veterans Affairs New Jersey Health Care System is currently seeking for Engineering evaluation/study of Boiler, Deaerator and Condensate Tank reliability and useful Life Expectancy. Study services are for equipment located at the Lyons Campus and East Orange VA Medical Center in NJ. The contractor shall provide the study of useful life expectancy services as specified in this document for all equipment listed in Attachment 1 Equipment List. VA Medical Centers provide critical health care which requires reliable steam supply for sterilization, domestic hot water, kitchens, and building heating and air conditioning. Boilers and associated equipment serving VA Medical Centers must be reliable, safe and efficient. The age of boilers and associated equipment is often a major indicator of reliability. The VHA Directive 1810 (1), BOILER AND BOILER PLANT OPERATIONS, assigns useful life expectancy , in years, to the boilers and plant equipment. The Directive requires that retention of certain equipment beyond the useful life expectancy must be based on an engineering evaluation of the reliability, efficiency and cost effectiveness of continued operation. B. SCOPE OF WORK: The contractor shall provide all labor, materials and equipment necessary to inspect, test and conduct the study of useful life expectancy of all 9 boilers and associated ancillary equipment located the Lyons Campus and East Orange Campus VA Medical Center. There are five (5) boilers in Lyons Campus and four (4) boilers in East Orange Campus. All the information for the boilers and other equipment to be addressed are described in Attachment 1 Equipment List. The work shall be documented in a full report of findings and recommendations. The report must be stamped by a licensed professional engineer. C. SPECIFICATIONS: 1. Qualification Requirements for Contractor and Inspection Personnel: A. A professional engineering firm (Professional License (PE)) that specializes in life expectancy evaluations.

VAMC RESPONSIBILITIES FOR PREPARATION OF BOILER INSPECTION 1. Since steam production cannot cease, the consultant and the VA COR will have to work closely to develop an inspection schedule that will ensure the facility can always meet steam demand with sufficient backup. 2. The boiler will be prepared by VAMC for the inspection prior to the scheduled arrival of the inspector. This includes cooling the unit to near ambient temperature and having all manways and access doors open, the unit cleaned of loose materials, lock-out, tag-out in place, connecting piping isolated, proper illumination provided, compliance with confined space access requirements including having safety personnel present in the boiler plant. 3.

All records of maintenance and repair activities, water treatment logs, operational logs, inspection reports, and all histories of prior problems shall be readily available during the inspection. Records for three years are suggested. If the consultant requires copies, they will need to sign out the documents and return them upon completion. 6. Remove all manway and handhole covers, access panels. 7. Remove all drum internals. 8. Clean all fireside and waterside surfaces. 9. Remove insulation from water tube boilers steam and mud drum ends and from locations where pipes are connected to the boiler. 10. Arrange for ladders, lifts and other devices necessary to allow access to the boiler. 11. Furnish copies of the original National Board (NB) Manufacturer s Data Report inspection form that was prepared for the boiler when it was new and NB Report of Repair forms if boiler pressure vessel repairs have been performed. F. INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS FOR DEAERATOR (DA) AND CONDENSATE TANKS 1. The DA inspections shall comply with the guidelines in the current issues of the following documents: 2. NACE International, Standard RP0590, Recommended Practice for Prevention, Detection and Correction of Deaerator Cracking. 3. NATIONAL BOARD INSPECTION CODE, Part RB, Inservice Inspection of Pressure-Retaining Items. A. Review the DA and condensate history including operating conditions, date of last inspection, current inspection certificate, ASME stamping, National Board registration number, materials of construction, extent of post weld heat treatment, history of repairs and modifications. B. Assess the external parts of the DA and condensate and accessories and piping for safety, accessibility, cleanliness, proper operation, and compliance with codes. C. Inspect for evidence of leakage. D. Inspect DA/condensate tank safety valve installation and verify that the valves have proper set pressure and capacity and are properly installed. E. Inspect support structures for proper integrity and allowance for thermal expansion. F. Internal inspections: 1. Visually inspect all visible pressure vessel and tanks surfaces for corrosion, material thinning, deposits, and weld cracking. 2. Inspect DA spray nozzles and trays. 3. Certified American Society for Non-Destructive Testing (ASNT) Level II technicians shall perform non-destructive tests (NDT) using the wet fluorescent magnetic particle (WFMT), ultrasonic testing (UT), and any other necessary non-destructive tests. a. Completely examine all accessible welds utilizing the WFMT test method. Properly prepare the surfaces before testing. b. Determine pressure vessel material thickness by UT. Thickness measurement locations shall be selected by dividing the storage tank heads into quadrants and taking measurements at each quadrant on two imaginary rings in each head (eight measurements total). Measurement locations on the shell shall be on each of the quadrants, on four to six locations along the length of the shell (16 to 24 measurements total). The technician may recommend fewer or more tests to the owner, providing justification. c. Typically, the pressure vessel section containing the deaerator trays and sprays is not accessible for non-destructive testing. The experience is that this section, which is mainly exposed to steam, is less vulnerable to weld failures and material thinning than the storage section which contains condensate and make-up water. G. VAMC RESPONSIBILITIES FOR PREPARATION OF DEAERATOR (DA) AND CONDENSATE TANKS FOR INSPECTION. 1. Since steam production cannot cease, the consultant and the VA COR will have to work closely to develop an inspection schedule that will ensure the facility can always meet feed water demand with sufficient backup. 2. The DA will be prepared by VAMC for the inspection prior to the scheduled arrival of the inspector. This includes cooling the unit to near ambient temperature and having all manways and access doors open, the unit cleaned of loose materials, lock-out, tag-out in place, connecting piping isolated, proper illumination provided, compliance with confined space access requirements including having safety personnel present in the boiler plant.
