Domestic Water Pump Replacements, West Haven Replacement of Domestic Water Pumps in B-16 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 one identified location. 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 B-16 s four pumps are believed to be original prior to government ownership of the facility. It would be unwise to say that these have not been reconditioned or rebuilt since 1949 though the quantity, frequency, and records of which are not known to current staff. Pump 2 s motor has been the most recent replaced though the date of which is unknown. The two pumps (not in scope) 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 (not in scope) 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 all four domestic water pumps within B-16 with new pumps and motors. At any time during the replacement, at least two working pumps systems must be active to support facility needs. All new pump systems shall be inspected and tested prior to activation. 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. 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.
