STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES Water-borne contaminants in animal drinking water can pose risks to research integrity, and could potentially harm rodent health and welfare. Therefore, the Building 35 Shared Animal Facility (SAF) has a requirement for animal drinking water that is essentially free from contaminants. Title: Chlorination Repressurization System STATEMENT OF WORK Water-borne contaminants in animal drinking water can pose risks to research integrity, and could potentially harm rodent health and welfare. Therefore, the Building 35 Shared Animal Facility (SAF) has a requirement for animal drinking water that is essentially free from contaminants. The Chlorine Repressurization System (CRS) referred to in this Statement of Work, addresses the major design flaws in the existing secondary treatment system by eliminating the secondary recirculating loop and by providing a residual biocide (free chlorine) to protect against the formation of biofilms in the secondary storage tank and in the distribution header piping that directly supplies the bottle filling equipment. The CRS will also provide extra capacity (600 gallons) of chlorine-treated water to the vivarium. Contractor shall provide and install an Edstrom Industries (or equivalent) Chlorine Repressurization System (CRS) which utilizes chlorine as a residual biocide, does not recirculate water back to the master holding tank, and is specifically designed to provide drinking water for animals used in research. Specific Requirements a.The Animal Health Care Section has determined the following minimum requirements for a secondary animal drinking water treatment system that utilizes free chlorine as a residual biocide: i.Ultra-filtration of the incoming building RO supply water to 0.01µ utilizing a low maintenance, self-flushing membrane system. The ultra-filtration system will be equipped with a bypass line and valve to feed the vivarium bottle filling equipment directly, in the event that the chlorination system needs to be maintained or serviced. ii.50 (+/-) gallon, floor-standing polyethylene solution tank for premixing liquid household bleach with incoming RO supply water. The tank must be sealed with a removable lid to prevent the escape of chlorine fumes. The tank must also contain a solution level tree with alarming capability so that the system alarms in sufficient time for new solution to be added. iii.Wall-mounted chlorine injection system that will precisely meter the concentrated chlorine solution into the animal drinking water. The chlorine injection system must meet the following additional minimal requirements: 1.Concentrated chlorine solution injection must be controlled and monitored by the flow rate of the incoming RO supply water. 2.Chlorine injection system must have a mixing chamber to thoroughly mix the RO water and concentrated chlorine solution, after the solution has been injected into the RO water. 3.Chlorine injection system must have the ability to manually adjust the amount of concentrated chlorine solution that is injected into the RO supply water based on manual chlorine titration. The injection system must be capable of adjusting and holding to a concentration within a very tight range (1 ppm - 20 ppm). 4.Chlorine injection system must have a set of dry contacts for connection to a building automation system so that personnel can be notified of critical alarm conditions. iv.600 gallon, floor-standing polyethylene storage tank for storing the chlorinated RO animal drinking water, post treatment. The storage tank must meet the following additional requirements: 1.Contain a removable, bolt-down polyethylene cover which is initially sealed to atmosphere. 2.Equipped with level control tree for controlling on/off of the injection system and for controlling low level and high level alarm states. 3.Equipped with a safety overflow check valve. 4.Equipped with a 0.2µ air vent filter for filtering/venting atmospheric air while tank is emptying and filling. v.34 (+/-) gallon floor-standing, pressurized storage tank for staging the chlorinated animal drinking water prior to the on-demand delivery to the facility bottle filling equipment. The tank must contain an FDA approved liner and diaphragm (polypropylene, butyl). vi.Dual pump skid for water distribution. The dual pump skid must meet the following additional requirements: 1.Pumps must be centrifugal and manufactured using 316 stainless steel (passivated) 2.Pumps must be mounted on a 304 grade stainless steel floor-standing frame 3.Piping and fittings must be schedule 80 PVC 4.Two pumps are required for redundancy 5.Pumps must be three phase and sized (horsepower) for the intended water distribution capacity 6.Pumps must be controlled to cycle between each other so that water does not stagnate in either pump. 7.Controller must allow for one pump to operate during a failed pump replacement. Pump manifold system must be equipped with isolation/shutoff valves to allow for pump replacement while system continues to operate. vii.The CRS must connect to a header system that will deliver the treated water to the three bottle filling systems located in the cage wash area. This header system will be provided by others and will be non-recirculating. Once the treated water leaves the CRS, the water will either be used to fill water bottles, or will be flushed to drain. viii.All wetted components must be made of 316 grade stainless steel, or suitable plastic materials that will withstand exposure to aggressive RO water and concentrated free chlorine solutions without leaching harmful by-products into the animal drinking water that could potentially compromise research. The AHCS will require a materials list and will make the final determination on the suitability of the materials used in the design and manufacture of the system. ix.The manufacturer of the CRS must provide detailed submittal drawings for approval. x.The manufacturer of the CRS must have the following installation, system start-up, and system training capabilities: 1.Installers must be factory-trained by the manufacturer 2.Upon satisfactory installation and start-up of the CRS, the manufacturer will provide satisfactory on-site training to the owner. Training will be documented and completion will be certified by the owner. xi.The CRS will be warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year following the successful system start-up date. xii.Manufacturer must be able to provide references for chlorine repressurization systems that are currently in operation in research vivariums. b.References: The Contractor will provide a list of three facilities in which similar systems have been installed, along with contact information for the persons responsible for maintaining the CRS at that location. c.Repair and Maintenance resources: The Contractor will describe the resources available for repair and maintenance during the warranty period. Acceptance Final acceptance shall be upon the successful installation and operation of the above specified equipment, and upon the successful completion of the owner/end user staff training.
