Other Department sites may be added in the future. The work to be performed under this contract will be mainly boilers and their associated equipment and systems that require inspection, testing, troubleshooting, chemical addition and balancing, maintenance, and repair or replacement of failed components. The work may also include updating of software and firmware for the various boiler system heating units or any boiler associated equipment. Maintenance and repair of piping systems, fees for State Inspections and necessary chemicals are also considered part of the boiler system and therefore part of the required work.
