The NAICS Code for this acquisition is 541310 and the applicable small business size standard is $7.5 million. The estimated construction range is $5,000,000.00 to $10,000,000.00. REQUIREMENT FOR A/E SERVICES FOR DESIGN OF PROJECT 586-17-107 9B HVAC GENERAL DESIGN SCOPE: The Department of Veteran Affairs, G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery VA Medical Center, requires the services of an Architectural and Engineering contractor for the design of replaces the entire HVAC system serving B-Section areas of the second, third and fourth floors, Building 1 at the VA Medical Center, Jackson, MS. A/E shall provide all architectural and engineering services as defined herein for the VA to obtain a complete and fully functional project. A/E firm to provide Schematics, Design Development, Construction Documents, Technical Specifications, Construction Period Services, Site Visits, Cost Estimates, As-Built Documentation, and all other related information for project to: Replace the entire HVAC system serving B-Section areas of the second, third and fourth floors, Building 1 This area is currently served by AHU 9B. Over half of the areas served by this AHU are patient-care areas. The systems to be replaced by this project include: AHU 9B, chilled and hot water distribution piping, air distribution systems, insulation, existing steam-to-hot water converter(s) associated with AHU 9B, building automation controls, dampers, grills, etc. Domestic water systems are excluded. The majority of these systems are served out of the main facility (old) penthouse mechanical room; AHU and SDVAVWhat does this acronym stand for? heating coil temperatures shall less than or equal to ~140 degrees; Water-side pressure drop for heating and cooling coils shall not exceed 10 psig; Exclusively provide ASHRAEAcronym? Guideline 36P ( High Performance Sequences of Operation for HVAC Systems, public comment or latest addition) sequences of operation for all AHU, air and water distribution systems in order to maximize HVAC system energy efficiency and performance, provide control stability, and allow for real-time fault detection and diagnostics; Exhaust fans greater than 1 hp shall include a VFD?. Smaller exhaust fans shall include on/off relay. All exhaust fans shall be tied to JCI MetaSysWhy? Is this what is in place now? Will it remain? in order to control building pressurization during low occupancy/unoccupied times. Few large exhaust air fans are preferred to many small fans. Route exhaust air ducts adjacent to AHU if opportunity for energy recovery exists; Design requirements of new systems shall conform to latest VA HVAC design criteria. (See HVAC Design Manual for Hospital Projects.) Where this statement of work conflicts with the HVAC Design Manual, this statement of work document will rulereword. To be certain, immediately bring any conflict between these documents to the attention of the VA COR for clarity;and CO Provide ASHRAE 90.1-2013 simulation model to prove the new system is at least 30% more energy efficient than the existing system per VA/Federal requirements. Provide 3 bound hardcopies and a digital copy. The engineer will provide a comprehensive oral presentation of the ASHRAE 90.1 model to fully describe the baseline standard, inputs considered, metrics and results for the project. Replace AHU #9B with a 42-degree, 10-degree delta-T, VFD-driven, 4-fan (min.) Fan Wall AHU with 100% airside economizer and 55 degree LAT and ~140 degree hot water pre-heat coils; The 100% airside economizer shall be ASHRAE Guideline 16-2010-compliant ( Selecting Outdoor, Return, and Relief Dampers for Air-Side Economizer Systems ); Provide mass airflow (MAF) sensors for the outside air (OA), return air (RA), and exhaust (EXH) air streams; Provide new AHU filter racks on HVAC units to accommodate Viledon bag-type filters. Why? Provide differential pressure (clean/dirty) sensors across all AHU filters and connect to BAS?. Provide BAS trouble notification when filter is dirty; Replace dual duct air distribution system with SDVAV systems with terminal hot water reheat for all areas. Provide new hot water converter(s) as necessary and replace existing piping; Provide individual room control using single duct VAV boxes (with ~140 degree hot-water reheat) in each room location; Carefully locate all SDVAV boxes to provide access for inspection and maintenance; Calculate minimum airflow values and discharge air temperatures for each terminal box; Provide a VAV Room Schedule on the drawings to include room name, room function, ACH (min and normal) and discharge air temperatures; All room thermostats shall include schedule override button. Describe schedule override functionality in the SoO? ; Install humidity sensors in return air ducts at locations representative of each zone/floor; Connect room occupancy sensors to switch terminal air box(es) into unoccupied mode in all conference rooms, break rooms and similar locations. Coordinate with electrical; Provide unoccupied setback schedules in the SoO; Provide static pressure sensors at the end of each duct branch or otherwise as required by ASHRAE 36. The AHU SoO should maintain the necessary SP to provide proper terminal box operation for the sensor with the lowest value. Include tuning dampers at each duct split location; All new system controls shall be Johnson Controls MetaSys. Utilize JCI NAE 5500 network controller, JCI FEC with LCD readout AHU controllers, and JCI VMA16 terminal box controllers;Why this brand/type? All control devices, sensors and meters shall report to JCI MetaSys; The A/E shall provide the air and water balance services for new systems. The A/E shall provide optional layouts for review. Each layout shall designate all associated equipment, materials, and duct required. Several meetings between the A/E, Cx Agent and the VA may be required prior to the 25% (SD) submissionSchedule doesn t call for 25% submission ; The contract documents will include all disciplines associated with the construction of the project, including but not limited to architectural, mechanical, electrical, structural, building commissioning, and/or industrial hygiene. Related site work for utility work shall be included within the design. Design shall include multiple bid options in the construction documents to equal at least 20% of the total construction cost. Base design must be fully functional with or without the options. Design to LEED Silver standards with certification under Green Globes. All costs and labor to achieve certification (fees, administration, coordination, etc.) shall be the responsibility of the Architect, under this contract. The A/E shall provide complete, 3rd party, Association of Energy Engineers (AEE)-accredited Certified Building Commissioning Professional (CBCP) mechanical system design and construction energy commissioning (Cx) services.
