CLIN DESCRIPTION PRODUCT # QUANTITY UNIT UNIT PRICE AMOUNT 0001 Upgrade Boiler Plant See Below 1 JB Construction Scope of Work Upgrade Existing Boiler Plant Project 632-22-900 1 General Information 1.1 Location Work performed under this scope will be for and conducted at the Northport VA Medical Center (VAMC) located at 79 Middleville Road, Northport, NY 14215 under VA Project Number 632-22-900. 1.2 Purpose The Northport VA Medical Center currently utilizes boiler plant equipment installed in 1968 which is significantly beyond its recommended service life. The boiler plant provides high pressure steam and heating hot water for heating and other functions to the Main Hospital and multiple other buildings on the campus through an underground distribution system. This steam distribution system is currently undergoing replacement under a separate project. The scope of this project includes constructing an equivalent capacity temporary steam generating capability outside the existing boiler plant, removal of existing steam generation systems, construction of a replacement steam generation system including new boilers, pumps, piping and ancillary equipment and renovation of the existing boiler plant building interior and exterior. The construction of this new system will assume that the replacement of the steam distribution system will be complete by the time the new boiler plant equipment is in operation. There is also a 2-megawatt Combined Heat and Power Plant (CHP) adjacent to the boiler plant which has recently been started up. The new steam systems for this project will incorporate tie-ins and modifications to the CHP systems. The scope also includes improvements to the boiler plant employee service areas including the addition of a women s locker room, a break room, and a supervisor office. This will improve working conditions for the operations and maintenance personnel who work in the plant. Scope The scope of construction work is fully described in the construction documents (drawings and specifications). Additional administrative and management related requirements are described in this construction scope of work document Section 3: Requirements. A complete phasing plan and overview of work is listed below and exists on the drawings. A brief overview of the construction phases, (estimated duration), and scope of work summary are included below: PHASE 1 (21 weeks) Critical submittals with review/approval cycles, including development of baseline schedule, equipment / material ordering, badge requests, site safety and security training. Note: All critical submittals shall be submitted and approved before the contractor is allowed to mobilize on-site.

PHASE 3 (4 weeks) Proof of Performance Phase. The temporary Boiler system shall be continuously operational producing high-pressure steam to meet the medical center campus requirements for a period of twenty-three (23) continuous days to demonstrate proper functioning of all systems and controls prior to the start of the demolition of equipment, systems and utilities within the existing Boiler Plant. During this proof of performance period, the contractor will be responsible for all operation, maintenance and repairs for the temporary Boilers / controls / utilities systems. Fuel will be supplied by the VA. Upon successful proof of performance demonstration period with VA COR acceptance, the VA will take operational control of the temporary boiler plant.
