The contract entails the replacement of an aging boiler system at the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Bothell Mobile Emergency Response Support Detachment facility in Bothell, Washington, with the contractor responsible for furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, tools, supervision, and ancillary services required to complete the project in full compliance with federal, state, and local codes. The scope includes the removal of the existing boiler and venting, installation of a new 95% high-efficiency boiler with a stainless steel ASME-rated heat exchanger, reconnection to existing gas, electrical, and piping systems, installation of associated pumps, condensate drains, conduit, and wiring, followed by system commissioning and submission of a formal commissioning report. All work must be completed within 30 calendar days of the Notice to Proceed, with a one-year warranty covering both labor and materials. The contractor must coordinate with the Facility Manager to minimize disruptions, maintain a safe and clean worksite, and adhere to strict OSHA regulations, FEMA safety protocols, and Washington State labor laws.
