Description

Domestic Water Pump Replacements, West Haven Replacement of Domestic Water Pumps in B-1 and B-2 Statement of Work The purpose of this statement of work is to provide an outline for the replacement of the Domestic water pumps located at the West Haven VAMC campus, West Haven, CT. The intent is to primarily replace most of the pumps that have been identified as ancient, antiquated, in need of repair, or not working at three identified locations. The West Haven VAMC, originally established near 1949 under government control, has numerous domestic water pumps on station. Primary domestic water is brought to the facility s Boiler Plant (B-16), pumped to tanks on top of B-1 to be distributed through the station. Due to limited head pressures, pumps at B-1 SG level and B-2 G level are required to support upper floors. The two pumps within B-1 are located within room SG101 and primarily are supplied by the tank within the space. These pumps supply the 8th and 9th floors of B-1 with domestic water. The gold-colored motor with the green pump casing was the most recently replaced unit (date unknown), with the other unit most likely rebuilt at some time in the past, though date of which is unknown. The two pumps within B-2 are located within room G139. These, at one time were supplied by the tank within the space, which is now bypassed, are supplied by the domestic water feed from B-1 and supply the 7th and 8th floors of B-2 with domestic water. Both units have most likely been rebuilt at some time in the past, though date of which is unknown. The VA would like to accomplish: All new pump systems shall be variable drive 208/480V compatible, set to 208V, of same size as existing. Replacement of (1) domestic water pump system within B-1 with a new pump and motor. Rebuild (1) pump system (pump and motor). A pump system will be dedicated for rebuild based upon pump site inspections and guidance by the VA. Replacement of (1) domestic water pump system within B-2 with a new pump and motor. Rebuild (1) pump system (pump and motor). The designated pump for rebuild shall be the northern pump system, currently not in operation. Reasoning for rebuild vs replacement: It is the understanding of the VA that current supply lines and distribution channels are stressed based upon ongoing economic times. It is believed that the supply chain for new has been extended to two to three times that of just a few years ago, meaning that an ordered item such as new pumps and motors for the pump system can take 18-24 weeks. With an active pump at B-1 and B-2, a rebuild of pump and motor of an inactive/worn system will have a turnaround time of 4-6 weeks where needed until the new pump system can be delivered and installed. On that note, the contractor shall have a ready temporary replacement available to be placed in active duty of same or similar size within a 12-hr period of a placed call by the VA if the remaining pump system were to cease operation. This emergent response shall be required to support hospital operations and shall require immediate action to include work to during regular hours, nights, and including weekends, if needed. It is expected that support for one location shall be needed during the period of rebuilding, within B-1 or B-2. Refer to photos below for pump systems and plate information. A site visit is encouraged to gather other required information and shall be coordinated through the Contracting Officer/Specialist on this project. The Contractor is responsible for all construction materials and supplies to complete the installation and activation of the pumps systems. The Contractor shall be in coordination of deactivation, activation, and testing of each system with the VA. The contractor shall complete the task of rebuilding the pump systems within 60 calendar days from issuance of the contract/notice to proceed, as part one completion. As a part two of the completion, the long-lead items (new pump systems) shall be identified and determined within contract negotiations with the VA and Contractor. Anticipated M-F, 7am-4:30pm general workdays. Weekends and nights are not expected, with exception identified above. Working outside of the hours shall be coordinated between the Contractor, project COR and VA CO. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS Parking: Parking is rigidly controlled throughout the Medical Center. Parking of vehicles in other than the specified areas will result in said vehicles being towed at the owner s expense off the Medical Center grounds. Coordinate removal and delivery of pump systems with the project COR for temporary arranged parking. Staging Areas: Due to limited space, the contractor is not expected to have set aside staging space to support the project. Arrangements can be made closer to date to request temporary limited storage space prior to installation and may be coordinated through the VA Plumbing shop, the contractor, and the project COR.
