Lutz VA Medical Center located at 1500 Weiss Street in Saginaw, Michigan and is to install a new Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning system within the Dental Services area. The area of construction is currently conditioned by windowmounted air conditioning units, thus not allowing for proper air changes within the space in conjunction with new COVID-19 regulations. Heating is provided by the existing hydronic heating system utilizing fin tube elements throughout the space. As part of a previously completed project, a Valent Packaged Rooftop Unit, model number VPRX-110-5E-X-C-1DX, has been installed. The Rooftop Unit (RTU) has been ducted to the exterior of the affected space but penetrations into the space have not been accomplished, this along with the programming, commissioning, and mapping to existing Johnson Controls Building Management System (Metasys) will need to be completed. For this to be accomplished, the existing acoustical ceiling will need to be demolished, the existing drain and sanitary piping that will impact the installation of new supply ductwork, return ductwork and Variable Air Volume (VAV) units will need to be demolished and reinstalled as high as possible to allow for ductwork and VAV installation. Space will be vacated by the service at the time of construction, any equipment that remains is to be protected by the contractor to prevent damage, any damages to equipment that must remain in the space will be the responsibility of the Contractor to repair/replace. The Government will be furnishing the packaged RTU, supply and return ductwork to the exterior of the affected space. Penetrations will need to be created to continue the supply and return air ductwork into the affected space. Contractor will tie into this existing ductwork and takeoff from this point to connect the remainder of the system. RTU when installed, was not fully commissioned when installed, as the project was modified to not include bringing this unit online. RTU is to be brought online, with controls and monitors being brought into the Building Management System. The control panel is in mechanical room 1-2234. The contractor is to provide programming services to ensure system operation utilizing existing sensors and any new controls to match the current system's Sequence of Operation and data reporting in Metasys. The contractor shall provide a PDF file with a description of the Sequence of Operation and chart of the control points. Address all questions in writing to Contract Specialist Angelo Vivio via email at angelo.vivio@va.gov . No fax or telephone inquiries will be answered. Question Deadline 03/29/2023
