The Department of Homeland Security's United States Coast Guard issued a Scope of Work requiring the installation of a new natural gas-fired condensing hot water boiler at USCG Station Gloucester, replacing an outdated unit that has reached the end of its service life. The contractor must supply all necessary labor, materials, and equipment to install the Raypak model RWH1514 boiler, ensuring compliance with state specifications. The project includes removing the existing boiler, reinstalling gas lines, and necessary electrical work, with safety protocols in place for hazardous materials. The performance period is limited to 30 days post-award, with specific working hours and access requirements to the premises. Coordination with other ongoing projects is essential to minimize disruptions to Coast Guard operations. The contractor is also responsible for cleaning, sanitation, and ensuring site safety throughout the installation process. This scope underscores the government's commitment to maintaining operational efficiency and safety in its facilities.
