The information requested by this RFI will be used within the Air Force to facilitate decision making and will not be disclosed outside the agency. For purposes of this RFI, the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 238220, Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors, and the small business size standard is $14.0M. Description of Services Description of Mechanical Systems The existing chiller, boiler, and chilled/hot water pump shall be replaced along with air side equipment, excluding exhaust systems. Existing two-pipe distribution piping shall be salvaged where feasible. A new dedicated outside air system (DOAS) shall be provided to compensate for air exhausted through the restrooms. Outside air shall be ducted from at least 10ft above grade to comply with ATFP requirements where applicable. All new outside air intakes serving occupied spaces shall be provided with low-leakage dampers to automatically close upon activation of emergency shut-down system. HVAC equipment weighing 31 pounds or more (excluding distributed systems such as piping networks that collectively exceed that weight) shall be braced to resist 0.5 times the equipment weight in any horizontal direction and 1.5 times the equipment weight in the downward direction. Direct Digital Controls (DDC) shall be provided per the CAFB General Requirements Guide to the greatest extent allowable within the proposed budget. An emergency shutoff switch shall be provided in the HVAC control system that can immediately shut down the air distribution system throughout the building. Automated building controls shall be programmed to minimize energy consumption during unoccupied periods and optimize system performance at varying load conditions including initiation of setbacks and warm-up periods for heating and cooling systems. Mechanical System Selection Analysis New fan coil units shall be provided with high efficiency ECM motors and fan speed controllers. Boiler and air-cooled chiller shall exceed ASHRAE 90.1 energy efficiency standard. Chilled water system shall be designed with higher temperature differential (?T=12'F) to allow for lower pressure drop within the existing piping. Overall building diversity due to varying occupancy and solar loads shall be accounted for in chiller and boiler selection. Computer aided psychrometric analysis shall be used for system selection at full and part load conditions including performance under varying internaland external conditions. Additional calculations based on ASHRAE standards shall be performed to help determine optimal heating for energy efficiency and comfort. Coolingcoil may be sized with redundancy by as much as 15% to compensate for morning recovery due to night setback and to compensate for unanticipated loads or changes in space usage. Heating coils may be selected with redundancy of as much as 30% to compensate for morning recovery due to night setback.
