(vii) Statement of Work: I Introduction: The Aircraft Mobile Maintenance Van Pad Facility, MCAS, Beaufort, SC has a requirement for the manufacturing and installation of a Containment Room. II. Scope: The contractor shall be responsible to provide all manpower and other resources necessary to carry out the services described in this Statement of Work. All labor, supervision, equipment, and material necessary to accomplish the tasks shall be the responsibility of the contractor. . Booth shall meet OSHA and NFPA regulations III. Scope of Work: Contractor is to provide all services, management, personnel, and material necessary for the procurement of a Containment Room with a closed loop system that filters and reuses the water, and recirculates the air through a HEPA filter system and returns it to the containment room to create an air flow to move the blasting mist toward the back of the booth to include installation and training of government personnel located at MCAS, Beaufort, SC. The equipment provided shall be a model in current production. The installer shall have experience installing abrasive blast systems. The purchase shall be a complete "turn-key" installation with associated training on operations and maintenance. All components shall be covered under a one year warranty for manufacture and workmanship defects. IV. Containment Room. The containment room shall have an inside measurement of 19' wide, 15' high by 30' long, constructed of welded galvanized steel and be designed to sit on an existing concrete floor that is equipped with a central trench drain and sloped floor. The maximum outside dimensions shall be no more than 20' wide, 22' high and 36' long. There shall be a 12' wide and 12' high (minimum size) steel, roll-up, electrically powered and controlled door on the south end of the installed booth and a 2'-6" x 6'-8" man door installed near the southwest corner of the booth. Interlocks will be incorporated on the doors to suspend the blasting operation when the doors are opened. The booth shall be illuminated by fluorescent lights that are in enclosed fixtures mounted in the ceiling and/or walls of the booth. Install lights on at least two circuits such that the lighting level can be adjusted (half the lights) while maintaining an even distribution. Emergency stop devices shall be incorporated as necessary for safely operating the equipment. V. Air Recirculation. Air inside the booth shall be circulated through a water curtain at the rear of the booth (north wall) to remove particles and then through a mist extraction system to remove most of the water from the air. Water from the curtain shall be routed to the water recovery system and cleaned for reuse. The air is then filtered through a filter bank of 2" thick washable stainless steel filters to remove particles, then filtered through a HEPA filter bank and returned to the room in a manner to create an air flow through the room from front to back. The air shall enter a chamber designed to collect larger particles in a water wash method and send that water to the water treatment system. The HEPA filter bank shall have a monitor to indicate the pressure differential across the filters to give the status of the filter life and replacement indications. The filter bank and air recirculation system shall be rated at 25,000 CFM under clean filter conditions. Provide controls that will cut off the air systems when blasting system is not being used. VI. Water Recovery. Water from the blasting and floor washing operations shall be cleaned for reuse by the system. Provide a sump pump (100 GPM at 25' head) with bronze housing and stainless impeller in the existing pit to return the water and blasting operation debris to the water cleaning and recirculation system. Provide also a matching 100 GPM pump in the sump to agitate the water in the sump so the sump pump will pick upi the debris from the blasting operations. Control both pumps to operate on a water level sensor. The water will first be cleaned using a centrifugal separator to remove particles at a rated flow of 90 gallons per minute. The processed water from this unit will be routed to a 200 gallon "dirty water" holding tank for use in the floor washing and air scrubbing systems. The Dirty water tank shall have 2 inlets and 2 outlets all sized at 2". Provide a 2" outlet for the sludge from the separator that will be connected to the Aqua-Klean unit. Pipe the water processed through the Aqua-Klean unit will into a 200 gallon "clean water" tank for use in the blasting operations. Provide a "clean water" tank that has 2" fittings for two inlets and two outlets. Install water level sensors to avoid overflow of the floor drain system and tanks. Makeup water from the domestic water system will be added to the "clean water" tank. Provide a transfer pump (3/4 hp), controls and piping to pump from the clean water tank to the waste water treatment system located on the outside pad. Water from the "dirty water" tank will be used in the floor washing system after going through inline strainers of at least two screen sizes between the tank and the wash down system with the final screen to be 1/32" perforations. Provide these strainers and piping. The feed pump will be a 100 GPM at 25' head pump that will feed both the hose and the water curtain system. Install a 20 PSI relief valve ahead of the strainers that returns water to the dirty water tank. Water for the blasting unit will be drawn from the "treated water" holding tank and then further filtered through a four stage series of filters to remove particles greater than 5 microns before going to the water blasting unit. Provide these filters, transfer pump and piping from the outside pad to the east side of the booth for connection to the E-40 unit. Provide pressure drop indicators across each filter to monitor filter condition and indicate if replacement is required. The unit will be designed to maintain 6 GPM water flow for the blasting operation. VII. Controls. The system will incorporate all functions into a main controller. It will monitor tank levels and shut down equipment if water levels are too low to maintain proper operation and will also monitor pump oil levels, safety interlocks and overheating of components. VIII. Installation. The entire system shall be installed by the supplier in an existing bay of a maintenance building that measures 25' wide and 45' deep and 19.5' eave height along the west wall and 25' at the east edge of the booth. An additional adjacent open shed with concrete floor measuring 12' x 16' is available on the west side of the building. The electrical power will be available at 277/480 volts in a panel at the back of the bay that will have a 400 amp main and three phase breakers sized 200, 100, 60, & 2 -- 30 Amp breakers. A 3/4" domestic water at 60 PSI and 60 CFM compressed air at 120 PSI are available within 50 feet of the booth location. All connections are the responsibility of the supplier. All equipment shall fit within the allotted space with a 3 foot walkway along the west wall and the north wall of the bay.
