Contractor is required to visit site and meet with Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) prior to bidding. (This will be conducted as an organized site visit with dates provided in the solicitation).

2. Project Tasks:

The Chiller #2 replacement shall have all finishes, fixtures, furnishings, and controls as shown in the scope of work below. The replacement shall be new and final approved shall be at the determination of the James J. Peters VA Medical Center, Engineering Services, the contractor shall perform the following tasks:

The contractor shall supply necessary material and labor to replace One Chiller CVHF 128 and shall supply 1200 Ton VSD Magnetic bearing chiller with R1233ZD low pressure refrigerant for compatibility and integration into the existing system.

Since the chiller to be installed must be a York chiller for existing system compatibility and integration, only York installers are qualified to work on the installation of the replacement York chiller. Contractors must coordinate with York and submit the specified equipment with bid submission. No other chiller will be acceptable. Contractors must bid accordingly.

The contractor will also supply a temporary 1000-ton chiller and provide all necessary materials, equipment, cables, electrical tie-ins, and labor to keep it completely operational and running efficiently, until the new chiller is installed, fully operational, and approved by the VA. The output temperature of the temporary chiller must be kept at a minimum of 40 to 44 degrees Fahrenheit and the contractor must provide 24/7 maintenance service to keep the temporary chiller operational. The contractor must be able to respond and report on site within 2 hours in an emergency. The contractor will be responsible for ALL work necessary to support the complete installation of the temporary chiller, including electrical connections, piping, hose connections in order to ensure successful operation of the equipment.

The existing chiller to be replaced is 4160V. Contractor will be responsible to remove all existing 4160V electrical support equipment including electrical disconnect, electrical cabinet, transformer adjacent to existing 4160 chiller. This also includes the demolition of the existing 4160 concrete equipment pad.

-Contractor will be responsible to provide a concrete pad for the existing 480V electrical connection and support equipment.

-Contractor will be responsible to remove, relocate and reinstall any/all piping that will obstruct new chiller installation. Contractors must be bid accordingly.

-Temporary chiller must be 480V, as there is an existing 480V electrical connection to support temporary equipment on site.

-Temporary conduits should be installed to connect the existing disconnect switch to a new temporary disconnect switch. The existing disconnect switch, already in place, will serve as the starting point for this connection. From there, the conduits will extend to the new temporary disconnect switch, which will be positioned near the temporary chiller outside the chiller plant.

-The new temporary disconnect switch should be installed in a location that ensures accessibility and proximity to the temporary chiller. Proper support must be provided to secure the switch, keeping it stable and protected from outdoor elements. This setup will facilitate efficient and reliable power transfer to the temporary chiller.

-The conduits must be installed in a way that ensures safety and durability. A clear and secure pathway should be established from the existing disconnect switch to the new one. Rigid or weatherproof flexible conduits should be used to protect the wiring and withstand environmental conditions. Special care should be taken to seal the ends of the conduits to prevent moisture infiltration.

-Conductors within the conduits should be appropriately sized and rated for the load of the temporary chiller. All wiring must meet electrical code requirements and be suitable for outdoor, temporary use. Additionally, grounding and bonding of both the existing and new disconnect switches must be done properly to ensure safety and prevent electrical hazards.

-The contractor is responsible for submitting all work related to the installation of the temporary chiller for approval by the VA before proceeding. This includes providing plans for the temporary chiller, the electrical disconnect switch, cables, conduits, and any other components or materials necessary to support the installation.

CONTRACTOR SUBMITTED RFI`s AND VA RESPONSES:

1- At the it was mentioned that the temporary chiller will be connected to the 480 V for the new chiller and that the VA is ok with having the temp chiller down for the duration of testing and commissioning the new chiller, please confirm that this is the intent of the VA.

VA Response: The temp chiller should be operational starting April 15th until the completion of the install of the new chiller and completion of a 30-day functional test with the chiller. During the 30-day functional test, the temporary chiller can be on standby in case something occurs with the new chiller during the test. In the scope, there is a 4160 gear and hookup that is being removed. It is recommended that it be kept there until all associated work and associated functional test is completed as the vendor can either provide a 4160 V temp chiller or provide a step-down transformer with the temp chiller. It is not feasible to connect to the same feed that the new chiller will be connected to.

2- The SOW dictates that the contractor must “provide a concrete pad under the existing 480V electrical connection and support equipment” at the walkthrough it was mentioned, that the existing 480V connection is connected and live, is the intent to disconnect, provide the concrete pad, and then re install? If that is the case how is the temporary chiller will be running while this 480V that is supposed to feed the temporary chiller is disconnected?

VA Response: It is not the intent to hookup the temporary chiller to the 480 V as the temp chiller needs to be powered at the same time as the new chiller. The concrete pad for the disconnect can be done earlier prior to the arrival of the new chiller. The thickness of the pad is 4”wire mesh for the disconnect switch only.

3- Can the existing (chiller # 2) 4160V discount be utilized for the temporary chiller (the contractor will have to provide a stepdown transformer).

VA Response: Yes, the existing 4160 can be utilized.

4- The SOW is calling for 1000 Ton chiller, this size chiller only come as water cooled, is the intent of the VA that the contractor has to use water cooled temp chiller or at the contractor option they may use two 500 ton air cooled chillers?

VA Response: It is up to the contractor to provide the type of temporary chiller. It is the intent to meet 1000 tons. That can be accomplished with two 500-ton air cooled chillers. It is recommended that placement of these do not impact the ambulance entrance nor be on top of the manhole openings for the fuel tanks outside the boiler plant. The contractor should also coordinator with JCI for placement of these temporary chillers in order to not impact the removal of the existing chiller and rigging of the new chiller. Any costs associated with relocating the temp chiller to accommodate the new chiller or removal of existing is the sole responsibility of the contractor. Just note that the temporary chillers need to meet an output of 40 – 44 degrees in order to not impact plant operations. Any additional equipment to make this occur is the sole responsibility of the contractor with no additional costs.

5- The scope of work for the chiller replacement does not address any sequence of operation for the chiller plant based on the new equipment. Please advise as to how the chiller is intended to be sequenced within the current optimization program. Specifically, its prioritization amongst the chillers in each season, condenser water flow and temperature setpoints, chilled water flow and temperature setpoints, graphic points, alarm points, and trended points/values. Also please provide any strategies required such as variable speed pumping, water side economizer, etc. that are required.

VA Response: The existing sequence of operation for Chiller #2 should be used as the basis for the chiller plant. The contractor shall hire a controls contractor (ITC) as requested by the facility. A new Optiview control panel will be furnished, complete with a gateway controller for communication.

6- The SOW calls for “Start-up/Commissiong, Balancing” Please indicates the flow rates of the existing pumps and existing parameters which would be used for Balancing.

VA Response: This is the chiller supplier`s (JCI) responsibility.

7- It was mentioned at the walkthrough that due to the space limitation the chiller that the VA specified will come in sections and it is the contractor responsibility to put it together under the factory supervision, in case the sections are too big, is the VA ok with the contractor removing chiller # 3 to make space to rig chiller #2

VA Response: No, we are not okay with this as by the time the chiller comes, we will be deep within cooling season. We should restate that it is JCIs responsibility through the contractor to ensure rigging is done for the new chiller.

8- At the walkthrough, it was discovered that more piping may have to be removed and reinstalled to accommodate the new chiller, is the VA going to permit allowance as a line item

VA Response: The piping relocation for installation of the new chiller will be completed by the chiller vendor JCI. All wiring must be off the floor and provide unrestricted access to operators to navigate the plant. See photos below of existing Chiller 2 piping and controls configuration.

This is Amendment A0001 for the Replace Chiller #2 project, IFB Solicitation 36C24225B0012 at the James J. Peters DVA Medical Center.

Thank you for your interest and participation in this solicitation.
