Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is conducting a Sources Sought to identify qualified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) capable of providing Engineering services for Boiler Plant Control Systems at the George E. Wahlen VA Medical Center in Salt Lake City, UT. This effort aims to improve the reliability and safety of the boiler plant operations. Responses are due February 12, 2026.
Scope of Work
The project focuses on enhancing the Boiler Plant Control Systems by:
- Addressing Single Point Failure: Implementing separate control panels for Condensate and Deaerator Tank level control and pump control, isolating them from the Plant Master control.
- Enhancing Pump Control: Installing individual tank level control panels for localized control of Condensate and Feedwater pumps.
- Improving Alarm Functionality: Reworking water level controls to combine multiple water columns into a single column for High-High, High, and Low water level alarms, including a common gauge glass for visual indication.
- Centralizing Control Panels: Installing local control panels near the tanks for enhanced safety and operational monitoring, and integrating Deaerator Tank pressure control into these new panels.
Deliverables
Key deliverables include:
- Operational secondary control panels for Deaerator and Condensate Tank levels and pump control.
- Functional local control panels for Condensate and Feedwater Pumps.
- A single water level column system for consistent alarm functionality.
- Centralized Deaerator Tank pressure control within the new local control panel.
- Enhanced safety and monitoring capabilities through local operation, safety device testing, and remote SCADA workstation monitoring.
