Description: � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ��STATEMENT OF WORK � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �Project 1D3Y � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � FCI Gilmer - Replace BAS Controls The Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP), Federal Correctional Institution located at 201FCI Lane in Glenville West Virginia intends to make a single award to the responsible entity that will provide a qualified TAB contractor to validate airflows and pressures throughout the systems. All manufacturers' recommendations will be required to be implemented. BACKGROUND The Gilmer facility was constructed in 2003. Most spaces are heated and cooled by constant air volume air handling units (AHU) with exception to the outside administration building, and Federal Prison Camp (FPC) administration building which are conditioned by variable air volume (VAV) systems. Some individual spaces within buildings are conditioned by fan coil units (FCU) and mini-split systems. The constant volume AHUs are equipped with a hot-deck/cold-deck or single path configurations. Multiple small volume exhaust fans are installed in all of the buildings for the purpose of exhausting air from toilet rooms and shower areas. All constant volume AHUs have one (1) supply fan (SF) andone return fan (RF) - exhaust fan (EF). The direct digital control (DOC) was manufactured by Andover Controls. The model number of the system is CX9900 and it was installed in 2003. There have been no upgrades since then. Roof damage was apparently incurred by the HVAC system by over pressurization. Damage to the rubber (EPDM) roof membrane occurred in the Housing Units, Food Services, and the Visitation buildings. The control system does not monitor building pressure or duct pressure in the constant volume systems. Therefore, when an over pressurization event occurs the DOC system does not receive feedback indicating the space is experiencing detrimental space pressure. The return air damper (RAD) and exhaust air damper (EAD) are controlled by a single output from the controller. The RA/EA dampers modulate in an inversely proportional configuration. When the RAD is 100% open the EAD is 100% closed. The system does not have the capability of modulating the dampers independently. The result of this is that the EAD cannot independently react and open to reduce the space pressure. The control system is configured to operate in an economizer mode when conditions outside are acceptable. When the outside air enthalpy is less the return air enthalpy and the system is in cooling mode, the controller begins to open the outside air damper (OAD) to allow a higher percentage of outside air into the space in order to assist the chilled water coils in cooling the space. When the system goes into economizer mode and the OAD begins to open, the corresponding building pressure most likely increases. There is no system safety to override the economizer and reduce pressure if the space pressure exceeds an allowable limit. The ""smoke purge"" mode applies to all housing unit systems and will cause the system to generate maximum building pressure by opening the OAD 100% and opening the EAD 100%, while operating the SF and EF. The smoke purge sequence and system functionality should be closely monitored when manually implemented. Without pressure monitoring there is no way to determine how high the pressure gets when the system is in full economizer mode (OAD = 100% open, RAD= 0% open, EAD = 100% open), smoke purge mode, RF/EF failure/manual shut down mode, or kitchen hood failure/manual shut down mode. SCOPE OF WORK General Scope per building includes the following: The controls contractor and Test Air Balance contractor (TAB) shall commission the system and verify operation of the AHU shut down features and document the results. The TAB contractor must be NEBB, or AABC certified. The controls contractor shall test the operation of all dampers and replace damper actuators, as necessary. The scope of the document includes up to ten (10) actuator replacements. Replace Belimo damper actuators in-kind (same type, model, parameters). The TAB contractor shall verify calibration of the building pressure sensors and document the results. Verify ��the differential pressure is accurate between the under roof location to the outside location. The TAB contractor shall verify the supply air flow, and exhaust air flow with the dampers at EAD = 100%, OAD = 100%. Document flows and building pressures. The Controls contractor and TAB contractor shall submit, at project close-out, controls commissioning reports and certified, labeled & dated TAB building reports, documenting all results with commentsand verification that the upgraded systems as installed and tested meet the requirements and intent of this contract.
