Reference: U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Construction & Facilities Management HVAC Design Manual, dated May 1, 2019, https://www.cfm.va.gov/til/dManual/dmHVAC.pdf. 2. TR Room Split System Design: The HVAC Design Manual requires a dry bulb temperature of 64 F for heating and 81 F for cooling and a relative humidity of 30% RH to 60% RH for Telecommunication Spaces, (pp. 6-106 for Data Centers and pp. 6-109 for TRs). These temperatures are supply temperatures. The ISTS requires rack inlet temperatures in telecommunications rooms between 41AF and 95AF and between 72AF and 80.6AF in computer rooms with a relative humidity range of 8% to 80%. Please use the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Modeling Guide for CRAC and rack inlet temperature design in Data Centers while meeting the more stringent of the two standards. To summarize, AC supply temperature set points must be between 64AF and 81AF per the HVAC Design Manual while maintaining rack inlet temperatures between 72AF and 80.6AF in computer rooms. Relative humidity in all telecommunications spaces will be maintained at the more stringent HVAC Design Manual requirements of 30% to 60%. a) In areas where there are environmental issues (e.g., steam pipes, lack of ventilation, etc.), the use of thermal curtains and additional vents will be considered as a temporary alternative, not permanent resolution. Any existing temporary alternatives, such as thermal curtains and door vents, shall be corrected with an approved, engineered solution. General Information The design shall include phasing throughout the project, with each phase containing a construction boundary to protect patients and workers for construction activities. Site investigations will be required to complete a full analysis of the current conditions of the area. All utility services shall be identified and assessed for compliance within the project limits. The A/E will be required to design within the construction budget. Architect or architect/engineer (A/E) firm shall be capable of preparing all design documentation including, but not limited to, advanced planning and design of the corrected fire and life safety systems at the John J. Pershing Veterans Administration Hospital in Poplar Bluff, MO. Prime contractor shall have, but not limited to, the following licensed/registered specialty disciplines as members of their firm/team: Architect, Mechanical Engineer, Plumbing Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Life Safety Engineer, and Communications Designer, Interior Designers, and Cost Estimators. The team shall have demonstrable experience in programing, planning and design of complex healthcare projects of a similar nature. The A/E must design using all current VA standards and meet all current codes for mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire protection, and life safety. All spaces will be designed to meet the Interagency Security Committee and other relevant physical security guidelines. It is important to emphasize that the A/E shall perform design development, detailed design work, prepare detailed construction documents, keeping in mind that the end results is a completely functional, certified, and fully operational product. The final design documents from a resultant task order will be subject to review and approval (by signature) of all members of an Integrated Project Team (IPT) consisting of medical center personnel. These individuals will be identified by the COR at the first design review meeting. As part of the final submission the A/E shall provide a written synopsis describing the overall scope of the construction project as well as any pertinent information about the project that would assist potential bidders in preparing a comprehensive bid package.
