factory-trained engineers or technicians employed by manufacturer of such
components as the burner, flame safeguard and combustion controls,
feedwater treatment equipment, and other auxiliary equipment shall be
present, as required, to ensure the proper functioning, adjustment, and
testing of individual components and systems, and to train plant operation
personnel in the operation and maintenance of them. No bypassing, use of
jumpers, or other disablement of control systems will be allowed unless

equipment, including gages, thermometers, calorimeter, CO, O2, CO2 test
equipment that independently analyzes each gas, thermocouple pyrometers,
fuel flow meters, water meters, and other test apparatus and set up and
calibrated prior to the test. Draft, fuel pressure, and steam flow may be
measured by permanent gages and meters installed under the contract. [Gas
flow may be measured by utility company meters.] Provide an analysis of
the fuel being used for tests. Control of noise levels developed by
exhaust steam, including muffler, globe, and gate valves, shall be
conducted in such a manner as not to create a nuisance or hazard, and shall
be subject to the approval of the Contracting Officer. Tests shall include
the following, and shall be performed when feasible, in the sequence listed:
a.
Strength and tightness tests - Hydro test per NAVFAC MO 324.
b.
Standards compliance tests - All environmental compliance test as
required by federal, state and local laws
c.
