This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Canandaigua, New York. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

Finger Lakes Community College (FLCC) is seeking sealed bids to set up a new service contract for HVAC filters. We have two separate material specifications included. Please read section 1.0 in detail as it includes the expectations FLCC has for service including delivery specifications, reporting and testing. Please include a narrative on how you will meet these items with your bid. TERM OF CONTRACT: Any contract resulting from the award of this bid shall be for a term of twelve (12) months from the date of award. The College reserves the right to renew all or any part of this contract for up to two (2) twelve-month periods if agreeable by all parties and by award by the FLCC Administration or Board of Trustees. A. Filter construction for Air Handling Units and Fan Coil Units 2.0 Construction- Pre-filters: 30/30 MERV 8 o Air filters shall be medium efficiency ASHRAE pleated panels consisting of cotton and synthetic media, welded wire media support grid, and beverage board enclosing frame. Filter media shall be a cotton and synthetic blend, lofted to a uniform depth of 0.15", and formed into a uniform radial pleat. o A welded wire grid, spot-welded on one-inch centers and treated for corrosion resistance shall be bonded to the downstream side of the media to maintain radial pleats and prevent media oscillation o An enclosing frame of no less than 28-point high wet-strength beverage board shall provide a rigid and durable enclosure. The frame shall be bonded to the media on all sides to prevent air bypass. Integral diagonal support members on the air entering and air exiting side shall be bonded to the apex of each pleat to maintain uniform pleat spacing in varying airflows. Construction for final filters MERV 14 o Air filters shall be v-bank mini-pleated fiberglass disposable type with pleat separators, polyurethane pack-to-frame sealant, and polystyrene enclosing frame and have an ECI value of five stars. Filter media shall be of microfine glass fibers formed into uniform pleats with a spacing of 10 pleats per inch and a uniform pleat height of 24mm. Pleats shall be separated at 25mm intervals to ensure uniform pleat distribution and even airflow through the filter pack. o Pleats media packs shall be assembled into a v-bank configuration with sufficient total media area to meet airflow requirements. The filter outlet shall be radial in shape with a maximum of 60% open area to maintain low-pressure drop and uniform airflow o The media packs shall be bonded to the inside periphery of a polystyrene enclosing frame with a polyurethane sealant. The enclosing frame shall include top and bottom molded tracks as an integral part of the frame to ensure a proper seal. o Media packs shall be recessed at least one-inch from the headered side of the enclosing frame to allow uniform airflow when a prefilter is mounted directly to the enclosing frame. The header shall include a gasket on the vertical side to create a filter-to-filter seal in side-access housing applications. o Rigid plastic end caps shall be mechanically fastened to the top and bottom of the media pack enclosing structure to ensure a rigid and durable filter. o Carrying handles shall be an integral part of the filter frame and shall bridge from media pack to media pack providing additional filter support and filter rigidity. Handles shall include fastener connection locations for the application of spring mounting fasteners when the filter is applied in reverse flow applications. o Filters will come with one side access gasket, to facilitate side access applications, and closed cell roll media will be provide to FLCC to facilitate the gasketing of the downstream side of the header, in case they chose to install these filters in front load frames. Sufficient gasket must be supplied with each order to facilitate gasketing of that order, should it be required for front load application. This direction will come from FLCC when placing the order based on where the installation will be done. 3.0 Performance-30/30 MERV 8 o The filter shall have a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value of MERV 8 when evaluated under the guidelines of ASHRAE Standard 52.2-2007. It shall also have a MERV-A of 8 when tested per Appendix J of the same standard. The media shall maintain or increase in efficiency over the life of the filter. o Initial resistance to airflow shall not exceed 0.23", 0.31" or 0.27" w.g. at an airflow of 350, 500 or 500 fpm on 1", 2" or 4" deep models respectively. o The filter shall have an Energy Cost Index (ECI) value of five stars. o The filter shall be classified by Underwriters Laboratories as UL 900. o Manufacturer shall provide evidence of facility certification to ISO 9001:2000. o Manufacturer shall guarantee the integrity of the filter pack to 2.0" w.g. Performance for MERV 14 o The filter shall have a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value of MERV (13) when evaluated under the guidelines of ASHRAE Standard 52.2-2007. It shall also have a MERV-A rating of (13) when evaluated under ASHRAE Standard 52.2-2007 Appendix J. o Initial resistance to airflow shall not exceed (0.31) inches w.g. at an airflow of 500 fpm for 24" x 24", 24" x 12" and 24" x 20" sizes. o Filter shall have a 5-Star rating when evaluated per Energy Cost Index. o Filter shall be listed by Underwriters Laboratories as UL 900. o The filter shall have an Energy Cost Index (ECI) value of five stars. o The filter shall be capable of withstanding 10" w.g. without failure of the media pack. o Manufacturer shall provide evidence of facility certification to ISO 9001:2000. o Supplier shall have the capability of performing an in-situ test once the filters are installed to verify efficiency and pressure drop performance. o The manufacturer shall provide a written Performance Guarantee ensuring the filter has the highest energy savings in its class of product, and will maintain its particle capture efficiency throughout its service life.
