The Contractor shall perform all services necessary to ensure reliable operation of steam system components and maintain them in accordance with industry standards and manufacturer recommendations.\nBaltimore VAMC s in-building steam equipment is directly connected to Vicinity Energy s district steam distribution system, which Vicinity owns and operates throughout downtown Baltimore. Because of this interconnected configuration, any work performed on the customer side components can affect not only the Baltimore VAMC but also Vicinity s broader distribution network. No other company owns or operates comparable district steam infrastructure in Baltimore. Therefore, maintenance activities require close coordination with Vicinity s system operations, pressure management, isolation sequencing, and startup/shutdown procedures. Vicinity s technical personnel also maintain proprietary operational data and engineering knowledge that is not readily accessible to third party contractors.\nA comprehensive preventive maintenance (PM) program would deliver several key benefits:\nReliability   Reduces outages, operational disruptions, and unexpected system failures \nCost Savings   Identifies issues early, preventing more costly future repairs \nEquipment Performance   Supports safer, more efficient operation of critical steam dependent systems \nSystem Longevity   Extends the lifespan and performance of essential steam infrastructure\n\nScope of Services:\nThe Contractor shall provide a two-person crew for eight (8) hours every two weeks (totaling 416 labor hours per year) to maintain steam system components, including:\nPerforming steam trap surveys \nCleaning pressure-reducing valves \nInspecting heat exchangers and steam converters \nEnsuring proper operation of condensate tanks, pumps, and piping \nIdentifying and addressing steam piping or valve leaks \nVerifying proper operation of all meters \nEnsuring proper water chemistry \nAssisting with regulatory inspections\n\nParts and Materials:  \nThe Contractor shall supply all parts, materials, equipment, and tools necessary to complete the work described. All replacement parts shall meet the original manufacturer s specifications or be approved equivalents.\nEmergency Service: \nThe Contractor shall provide prompt emergency call-back service within five (5) hours of notification by the Contracting Officer (CO), Contracting Officer s Representative (COR), or their designees.
