List of Major Subcontractors: ATTACHMENT 3 PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS) BOILER PLANT and COOLING TOWER CHEMICAL WATER TREATMENT PROGRAM for SUPPLIES and SERVICES INTRODUCTION The VA Medical Center in Manchester at 718 Smyth Road has steam generating boilers and cooling equipment that require a water chemical treatment and testing program. The chemical water treatment contractor shall provide all supplies and technical advisory services for proper chemical treatment of boiler plant water and steam as well as a cooling tower water to achieve specified results. Services will be bid as a firm fixed price. The contract will have a one-year base period with four option years. BACKGROUND The VA Medical Center in Manchester has three steam generating boilers (boilers 1, 2, & 3) and equipment that require regular chemical treatment and testing services. Boiler 2 is a fire tube boiler, and is traditionally the summer boiler, used primarily during the warmer summer months. Boilers 1 & 3 are a fire tube boiler, and is traditionally the winter boiler, used primarily during the colder winter months. The boiler inspections are conducted annually and are scheduled in a manner such that at least two of the three boilers are always available for full duty. One boiler is in use, a second boiler is always available on stand-by, and the third boiler is off-line and available for any required maintenance, cleaning, or inspection. The goals are safety, reliability and longevity of the steam and condensate piping and equipment in the boiler plant, in the steam distribution system, cooling water, and in the various buildings of the VA facility. In addition, the Medical Center has one cooling tower to be serviced, used for the kitchen mechanical refrigeration system. SCOPE Provide all equipment, labor, materials, and chemicals for the chemical treatment and testing program services for boilers 1, 2, & 3, auxiliary boiler plant equipment, and one cooling tower.  Services should include the latest water treatment technology to assure a safe, dependable, and an easily maintained water treatment program. The contractor shall sample and test on station, all water to be analyzed under this contract. Scheduling of services to be staggered and coordinated with the Medical Center s annual boiler inspection schedule provided in Appendix A. The contractor shall verify the initial chemical, mineral, and metal concentrations of all water to be sampled and treated at the beginning of this contract to establish a baseline and treatment program. Provide water side inspections of all boilers, DA, and condensate receiver while the equipment is open for annual inspection. Provide detailed electronic reports for each inspection, with pictures, on the condition of water sides and provide recommendations if needed. Contractor will take samples of scale, sludge or other particulates when requested, and have them analyzed by their own laboratory and provide an electronic report back to the customer within 10 working days. Provide supplies and testing analysis for return lines, coils and heat exchangers when requested, provide onsite services for blow down controllers, chemical feed systems and perform DA efficiency testing upon request. Provide water chemical treatment and monthly testing services for the cooling tower. Treatment shall include a non-phosphate-based corrosion inhibitor, an Oxidizing biocide, and a non-oxidizing biocide. Contractor will supply all chemicals, cooling tower controller (Walchem WCT-410 or equivalent), and respective chemical pumps. Contractor will supply all chemicals, equipment, piping, and materials for a 100% hands free Polymer boiler chemical treatment program. Chemicals will be provided in a liquid form and placed in Contractor supplied storage containers. Delivery of chemicals will be from a delivery truck and bulk chemicals will be pumped from the truck to the system equivalent storage containers in the plant chemical lab. Furnish on site chemical storage containers with secondary containment. Provide bulk delivery service which delivers the chemicals directly into the on-site storage containers with no assistance necessary from VA employees other than to provide access. Boiler chemicals will include a synthetic polymer, alkaline additive, oxygen scavenger and amine for return lines. Boiler will be chemically treated to prevent, eliminate, and control corrosion, fouling, scaling, sludge accumulation, foaming and carryover, while allowing for optimum heat transfer and must be accomplished with the least amount of boiler blow down to maintain boiler efficiency. Feed water will be chemical treated for the removal of oxygen during & after de-aeration for the prevention of oxygen pitting within boilers and feed water piping. Condensate return lines will be chemically treated with F.D.A approved neutralizing amines to control carbonic acid levels in condensed steam. Contractor will supply all test equipment and test reagents needed for in the program and be responsible for maintaining adequate on-site inventory of reagents and testing supplies, shall provide testing supplies when requested within 24 hours. Cooling tower testing will be provided monthly while in operation. Tests to include inhibitor, conductivity, pH, and bacteria. Testing and service reports will be submitted electronically after each service visit. Vendor will routinely confirm with appropriate Manchester municipal officials that the monochloramine treatment system is functioning properly. A Manchester municipal water source treated with monochloramine is used at the facility. Emergency Remediation of Water Systems when testing indicates positive Legionella findings or biological exceedances. Remediation for one positive water sample The fixture and supply lines will be chlorinated by a contracted vendor. If the positive results were from pure cold-water samples or pure hot water samples, then remediate the corresponding water distribution system (hot, cold or both). If the positive results were from mixed hot/cold samples, then the minimum requirement is to remediate the hot water distribution system; the Water Safety Committee must determine if remediation of the cold-water distribution system is also needed based on additional testing or knowledge from past environmental testing results of hot versus cold water positivity. Remediation for more than one positive water sample If the water samples that tested positive are in the same area of the building or on the same water distribution loop, the area or loop will be promptly chlorinated by a contracted vendor. If the water samples that tested positive are in different areas of the building or on different water distribution loops, then promptly conduct remediation in a graded response based on location of the positive outlets. September 2022 SOP 138-11 The Water Safety Committee will review the location of the positive water samples in relation to the configurations of the building water distribution system(s) to determine the extent of remediation (i.e., fixture, areas/loops versus the entire building). Chlorination Chlorination will be conducted by a contracted vendor who will provide all equipment and materials needed to perform the remediation. The contractor will utilize personal protective equipment and engineering controls (emergency eyewash and/or shower) appropriate to the type and concentration of disinfectant used. Chlorination of water systems will consist of bringing chlorine levels to at least 2 mg/L and maintaining that level throughout the systems for at least 2 hours but not exceeding 24 hours and flushing all outlets. Chlorine levels will be measured at various outlets throughout the associated water system to ensure adequate distribution. If retesting after chlorination indicates that Legionella is still present in the water distribution system(s), it may be necessary to repeat chlorination with a higher concentration of chlorine (e.g., at least 10 mg/mL free chlorine residual throughout the system and at outlets for 24 hours). Consultation with HEFP is required for implementation of chlorine levels higher than 10 ppm. Post Remediation The outlets will be retested at least 24 hours after remediation is complete. If remediation was successful, then the quarterly environmental validation cycle is complete. The VAMC may choose to conduct additional testing in the area of the positive fixture to determine if more extensive remediation may be beneficial. If the remediation was not successful, assess the remediation procedure and repeat remediation and retesting until the remediation is successful. Low-level Chlorination to treat the domestic Cold/Hot Water supply lines in the main building with summary report of testing. Need funding for three services as needed during each Year of contract.
