About this file

This is a bid specifications document for the Housing Authority of the City of San Antonio, Texas (Opportunity Home San Antonio) for Phase III of an Energy Performance Contract (EPC) involving pre-construction and general contracting services. The project encompasses installation of energy and water conservation measures (ECMs) including dwelling unit heat pump retrofits, lighting retrofits, low-flow plumbing fixtures, attic insulation, and air-sealing across multiple residential properties. The specifications establish comprehensive requirements for submittal procedures, quality assurance, commissioning processes, and operation and maintenance documentation. Key systems being commissioned include 100 percent of major equipment retrofits (dwelling unit heat pump systems) and focused quality-based sampling of typical non-major installations at approximately 2 percent or 5 installations per site and measure type, with escalating inspection requirements if deficiency rates exceed 10 percent in initial sampling.

The contract requires detailed specifications compliance across multiple divisions including HVAC systems, refrigerant piping, plumbing fixtures, thermal insulation, electrical and lighting systems, and equipment hangers and supports. Contractor responsibilities include furnishing all labor and materials for commissioning, maintaining quality control plans, providing pre-functional checklists and functional performance testing documentation, completing equipment startup procedures with manufacturer-trained personnel, and delivering comprehensive operation and maintenance manuals within two weeks of equipment submittal approval. Training requirements mandate manufacturer representation at all equipment training sessions with documented attendance and performance-based testing. The contract includes provisions for corrective actions and re-testing at contractor expense if initial functional performance tests fail, with commissioning authority travel expenses and time (billed at $165 per hour plus current IRS mileage rates) deducted from final contractor payment for deficiency-related re-inspections.
