About this file
This document is a comprehensive technical specification for the HVAC Replacement project at Norfolk International Airport, prepared by Burns & McDonnell Engineering for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The project involves demolishing and replacing existing HVAC equipment, including condensing units, air handlers, return fans, rooftop units, air temperature units, variable air volume units, and computer room air conditioning units. The specification covers multiple technical divisions, including detailed requirements for mechanical systems, electrical systems, coordination, submittals, quality control, and project management.
Key technical scope includes installing new outdoor overhead rack, connecting new equipment to the existing Direct Digital Control (DDC) system, and adding new DDC devices. The project is structured as a firm fixed-price contract with multiple construction phases, with work predominantly scheduled during nighttime hours (2300 to 0500) to minimize airport operational disruptions. The estimated construction budget ranges between $1,500,000 and $3,500,000, with a site visit scheduled for April 24, 2025, and proposal submissions due by May 14, 2025 at 3:00 PM Eastern Time. Contractors must comply with strict airport operational requirements, environmental controls, and sustainable design guidelines throughout the project execution.
