36C24227Q0042 Mod 2 Answers to questions submitted: Q1: What is the observed historical peak steam load of the facility? A1: 120,000 lb./hr. Q2: Will the Montrose VAMC waive the requirements of the VHA Safety Device and Testing Manual?
A2: No. Q3: Air permits for emissions are the responsibility of the entity operating/generating the emission, not the owner of the equipment. Please clarify. A3: VA only, not the vendor.
Q4: Will the VA change the 9PPM NOx requirement to 30 PPM? A4: No. Q5: Please clarify the size of the Boiler. A5: 800 HP Q6: Will fuel for the rental boiler be furnished by the Government of the Contractor?

Ready for service 12/1/2026. Q9. Is a rental unit rated at about 30ppm NOx on natural gas acceptable for the temporary heating period, given that it is a temporary rental operating under the facility s existing permit?
A9. Yes Q10. If 9 ppm NOx is mandatory, will the Government accept a unit fitted with flue gas recirculation (FGR) or selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to meet it, and will any additional time be allowed for delivery?
A10. The most important factor is that the vendor make the delivery date, so the 9-ppm cis is not a deal breaker. Q11.
The requirement lists a 95 PSIG operating pressure but also references 35,000 lb./hr. at 212° F and a 15 PSIG code. What operating pressure should the rental boiler be size for? A11. 95 PSI is sufficient.
