About this file

This is a specifications document for a Building Management System (BMS) replacement project at Two Rivers Correctional Institution (TRCI) in Umatilla, Oregon, operated by the Oregon Department of Corrections (ODOC). The project involves the complete replacement of the existing Siemens BAS/DDC system with a new Delta Controls system by Ainsworth that will monitor and control HVAC systems, central plant equipment, critical alarms, and energy-management functions. The scope of work includes demolition and removal of existing BMS hardware, software, field controllers, sensors, and network infrastructure; installation of a fully integrated, open-protocol BMS; commissioning and functional testing of all new components; integration with existing facility systems where feasible; development of updated graphics, trend logs, and alarm routing; and provision of training and documentation for facility staff. The work must maintain security requirements and minimize disruption to operations at the facility, which houses approximately 1,900 medium and minimum-security adults in custody. All work shall comply with the State of Oregon General Conditions for Public Improvement Contracts, Supplemental General Conditions, and applicable codes and standards including ASHRAE 135-2010 for BACnet communication protocols.

The specifications require the contractor to furnish all materials, equipment, labor, supervision, permits, and services necessary to deliver a complete and operable BMS. The new system shall utilize BACnet as the industry standard open protocol for interoperability, incorporate a networked architecture with Management Level Networks (MLN), Automation Level Networks (ALN), and Floor Level Networks (FLN), and include web-based operator interfaces accessible through standard browsers. The contractor must provide comprehensive submittals including system configuration, technical data, schematic flow diagrams, wiring diagrams, point lists, and variance letters detailing any deviations from specifications. The BAS contractor must be factory-authorized, maintain a service organization with factory-trained personnel, and provide references for ten similar projects completed within the last five years. Record documents, operation and maintenance manuals, programming manuals, and training documentation must be submitted, with the systems manual provided in both hard copy binder format with fold-out drawings and electronic format on CD at least 30 days prior to the instruction period. Warranty obligations follow manufacturer warranties where they exceed one year, with contractor labor defined by the Supplemental General Conditions, and critical system failures must receive on-site service within 4 hours of notification during normal building occupied hours and within 24 hours otherwise.

SECTION 23 05 90 - TESTING, ADJUSTING AND BALANCING

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 DESCRIPTION

A. Work Included: After completion of the work of installation, test and regulate all components of the new heating, air conditioning and ventilating systems to verify air volumes and heating-cooling flow rates indicated on the Drawings and compliance with the State of Oregon General Conditions for Public Improvement Contracts, and Supplemental General Conditions (SGC).

B. Related Work: General Scope of work shown on sheet M0.1

1. The intent of the TAB scope is only to require balancing items/equipment that have been modified or need re-calibration as a result of the controls upgrade – items that should be balanced are listed as noted above on sheet M0.1

2. Diffusers or similar distribution devices are not required to be balanced, as these devices will not be modified. Likewise water flows are not required to be balanced, unless balancing valves or fluid control valves are modified during the controls upgrade.

3. Items where the controls upgrade is simply open/close or on/off (such as make up air units or exhaust fans) do not require air balancing, as airflow should not be affected by the addition of controls.

C. Balancing Organization:

1. Balancing of the Heating and Air Conditioning Systems: Performed by a firm providing this service licensed in the State of Oregon.

2. Balancing Organization: Approval by Owner’s authorized representative.

Air Balancing Specialties, Air Introduction & Regulation, Northwest Engineering Services, Neudorfer Engineers, Pacific Coast Air Balancing, or approved.

3. Provide all necessary personnel, equipment, and services.

1.2 QUALITY ASSURANCE

A. Balancing of the Heating and Air Conditioning Systems: Agency shall be a current member of NEBB or AABC specializing in the adjusting and balancing of systems specified with a minimum of 10 years documented experience.

B. Testing, adjusting, and balancing shall be performed under direct field supervision of a Certified NEBB Supervisor or a Certified AABC Supervisor.

1.3 SUBMITTALS

A. Balancing Data: Include the following minimum information in the Operation and Maintenance Data, as specified in Section 23 05 00. Submit TAB reports in compliance with GC B.18 and SGC-16 – Record Documents, including format, electronic editable copies, and required monthly log updates.

19. CO2 controller set points – minimum CO2 setpoint (ppm), maximum CO2 setpoint (ppm)(setting for min OSA at full occupancy).

20. OSA intake damper settings at min occupancy and max occupancy (cfm or damper %)

1.4 DETAILED REQUIREMENTS

A. Adjusting and Balancing:

1. Prior to beginning the balancing work, obtain from the general contractor the latest version of the mechanical drawings including addenda, revisions, change orders, etc.

2. Adjust and balance all portions of the mechanical systems to produce indicated results within limits of minus 5 or plus 10 percent or as subsequently directed by the Owner’s authorized representative. Any deviation outside these tolerances must be documented and submitted through the SGC‑3 RFI process prior to acceptance.

3. Balancing data may be spot checked with instruments similar to that used by the balancing firm.

4. If, in the judgment of the Owner’s authorized representative, the discrepancies warrant additional adjustment, readjust and rebalance the systems at no additional project cost. Corrective TAB work required due to Contractor‑caused deviations remains at no additional cost; corrective work due solely to Owner‑directed changes or security‑related access restrictions shall follow GC D (Changes in the Work).

5. Where power exhaust fans are specified, set power exhaust fans to operate as shown on drawings and set power exhaust fan cfm percentage as shown on drawing.

3-10-26 23 05 90 - 3

6. Set outside air intake dampers to modulate between min occupancy setting and max occupancy setting (as specified on drawings) as CO2 levels rise from minimum set point to maximum set point (as specified on drawings).
