Renovation of a mixed-use development in Chillicothe, Ohio. Working plans call for the renovation of a medical facility.

PURPOSE OF POSTING: The Chillicothe VA Medical Center is requesting SF 330s from A/E firms wishing to be considered for the project described below. DESCRIPTION: The A/E shall analyze the entire steam distribution system at the Chillicothe VA Medical Center including all building equipment loads as well as the steam piping network loads. The A/E shall employ various techniques to analyze the underground steam distribution system such as Infrared Imaging to check for leakage. The AE shall also include estimated future steam loads from planned construction in the facility s Master Plans. Master Plan the entire distribution system based on the new calculated loads with recommendations for supply and condensate piping sizing using the existing routes and any new proposed route improvements. This study shall include an in-depth study of the existing steam system. The master plan shall create a consolidated set of plan views for the steam and condensate return showing the entire distribution network. Features shall be numbered/cataloged either by an identified existing naming convention or where that does not exist, one proposed by the AE in consultation with the Chillicothe VAMC stakeholders. This shall include at a minimum construction date, condition of pipe, racks, insulation, condition of steam tunnel, drainage or infiltration information of steam tunnels, any known information about asbestos or previous asbestos abatement for sections. This information shall be gathered from field studies, historical drawings, assumed engineering judgement, and consultation with the Pipe shop who maintains the system. Any information such as profiles, sizes, or condition that are assumed based on engineering judgement vs actual field verification should be identified as such. It shall clearly show when replacements were done (color, tags, or other clear means). Provide in final format and editable versions for future use. Results of this in-depth study will be used by the AE to make recommendations for the master plan. Make recommendations for a 10-Year NRM projects plan. The AE shall include an in-depth analysis of alternatives on a building-by-building basis. Based on the steam loads identified in each building, provide recommendations that the facility could work to have installed as part of in-house labor or future capital projects to be able to continue to operate under a sustained steam outage. Temporary connections for rental boilers should not be the primary solution but shall be a backup to the proposed solution. Examples being properly sized electric water heaters (semi-instantaneous or tanks) that could continue to provide hot water (domestic and hydronic) to the buildings. Special consideration shall be made to Building 7 Kitchen and our 24/7 inpatient care buildings. The study shall include proposed designs for sizing of equipment to carry heat loads and proposed placement of equipment. This study is important to the resiliency of the facility to sustain operations of the Medical Center during an emergency steam failure or during planned maintenance outages. Make recommendations for the facility to implement a Maintenance and Operations Plan for the steam distribution system. Provide complete design documents for any portion of the steam distribution system that is found to have deficiencies as discovered by the investigative portion of the Master Planning Phase. If more deficiencies are found above the available construction budget, make recommendations to the COR for which priorities should be included in this project s construction budget.
