4. DESIGN APPROACH

A. Network Level

1) A new server will be provided to replace the existing Siemens server. The server is in Building 31 chiller plant offices. Network Cabling from Building 5 will be re-used to connect to the new server.

2) The building 5 network switch that connects to the Siemens server and to the building #2 fiber network switch will remain in its existing configuration.

B. Building 2

1) The existing fiber network switch, located in the Ground Floor Mechanical Equipment Room G009 will be expanded with a CAT6 to a new network switch, located in the same room.

The new switch shall serve Ground Floor equipment, differential space pressure monitors, and temperature zone controls currently being served by the JCI system.

It is anticipated that the existing JCI cabinet enclosures serving air handling units 2-AHU-5 and 2-AHU-15 can be re-used.

Existing air handling unit 2-AHU-5 will require pneumatic device change-out for the modulating outside air, return air, and relief air control dampers, 2-way cooling coil control valve, and supply and return airflow measuring devices.

The Schneider-controlled steam zone valves, associated sensors, and controller will be replaced and integrated into the Siemens system. The cabinet enclosure will need to be replaced. This work is expected to occur during the summer months.

The points connected to the additional Schneider I/O modules (4 total) in Mechanical Equipment Room G009 that are located in two (2) of the older cabinet enclosures, have yet to be identified.

2) The existing network switch located on the 3rd Floor, Room 3177 will either be expanded or replaced as needed to integrate the Schneider-controlled equipment on this floor. Currently, this switch has one (1) available port.

New CAT6 cabling will be installed in the ceiling space of the occupied 3rd Floor in order to connect the new Siemens controllers serving existing air handling units 2-AHU-X and 2-AHU-6, temperature zones, and hot water heat exchanger and pump set.

3) The existing network switch located on the 4th Floor, Room 4167 will remain asis.

Currently, this switch is being used to replace rooftop equipment controls to existing air handling units 2-AHU-2 and 2-AHU-3, along with the dilution exhaust fans and miscellaneous points.

4) The existing network switch located on the 5th Floor, Room 5003 currently serves the rooftop chillers, air handling units, and occupied areas of the 4th and 5th Floors.

The 5th Floor switch is intended to connect to the new Penthouse switch and to integrate the remaining JCI and Schneider-controlled equipment that are on the 5th Floor level (4th Floor roof included).

New CAT6 cabling will be installed in the ceiling space of the occupied 5th Floor in order to connect the new Siemens controllers serving existing air handling unit

2-AHU-4-OR, temperature zones, and hot water heat exchanger and pump set.

5) A new 24-port network switch will be installed in the Penthouse and will carry the bulk of the equipment being integrated into the Siemens system. Each CAT6 cable to the switch will be dedicated to each equipment controller. The new 24-port switch will have a network drop down to the existing 5th Floor network switch.

(i) Existing air handling unit 2-AHU-7 is currently under DDC control. The new Siemens controller shall replace the existing JCI controller in the same cabinet enclosure.

(ii) Existing air handling unit 2-AHU-8 will require pneumatic device changeout for the 2-position outside air control damper, face-and-bypass steam preheat coil, and 3-way modulating cooling coil control valve. A new control cabinet enclosure will be installed for this unit. This will require extending device signal wiring.

(iii) Existing air handling units 2-AHU-9 and 2-AHU-10 will require pneumatic device change-out for the 2-position outside air control damper, face-and-bypass steam preheat coil, 3-way modulating cooling coil control valve, and humidifier control valve. Devices associated with the humidifier will be new. They include a new discharge humidistat, discharge high-limit switch, and space humidistat. The existing cabinet enclosure can be re-used for these units.

(iv) Existing air handling units 2-AHU-12 and 2-AHU-14 are currently under DDC control. The new Siemens controllers shall replace the existing Schneider/ Andover controllers. The existing 2-AHU-14 cabinet enclosure can be re-used, but 2-AHU-12 will need to be separated from the shared cabinet enclosure with 2-AHU-9. This will require extending device signal wiring for 2-AHU-12.

(v) Existing air handling unit 2-AHU-13 will require pneumatic device change-out for the 2-position outside air control damper, steam preheat coil, and 2-way modulating cooling coil control valve. A new control cabinet enclosure will be installed for this unit. This will require extending device signal wiring.

(vi) Existing air handling unit 2-RTU-1 will require pneumatic device changeout for the 2-position outside air control damper, modulating steam preheat coil control valve, 2-way modulating cooling coil control valve, modulating steam reheat coil control valve, and humidifier control valve. Devices associated with the humidifier will be new. They include a new discharge humidistat, discharge high-limit switch, and return air ductmounted humidistat. A new control cabinet enclosure will be installed for this unit. This will require extending device signal wiring.

(vii) Existing heating hot water systems, exhaust fans, and other miscellaneous points in the Penthouse are expected to be housed in three (3) new cabinet enclosures. This will require extending device signal wiring.

C. Programming for the sequences of operation and graphics mapping will be required for all equipment associated with work in Building 2. New programming will utilize existing, new, and change-over devices and therefore, will only meet ASHRAE 36 guidelines for high-performance sequences of operation where such devices already exist. For example, using AHU static pressure reset by poling VAV box damper positions.

D. Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing Contractor will be required to calibrate new airflow measuring devices and to calibrate the feedback from existing VAV boxes.

Electrical

1. GENERAL

The project involves the upgrade and consolidation of the Energy Management Systems (DDC) providers serving Buildings 2 on the Salisbury VAMC Campus. The new system will follow Native BACnet protocol and be able to replace existing JCI and Schneider components with a single front-end user interface compatible with Siemens. This project is to convert systems from both pneumatic controls and obsolete DDC controls to the Siemens Desigo Native BACnet central system, where applicable, for Buildings 2.

2. SCOPE OF WORK

A. The following systems will be modified to suit the electrical demands of the project:

1) Normal Electrical Distribution at 208/120-volts

2) Emergency Electrical Distribution at 208/120-volts

3) Lighting systems and controls

B. The electrical design shall be in accordance with, but not limited to the following VA design standards:

• VA Electrical Design Manual for New Hospitals, Replacement Hospitals, Ambulatory Care, Clinical Additions, Energy Centers, Outpatient Clinics, Animal Research Facilities, and Laboratory Buildings.

• NFPA 70 National Electrical Code

• National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 101 Life Safety Code

3. EXISTING CONDITIONS

A. Power

1) Emergency life safety and critical power branch panels are located on every floor of the building. The majority of the panels have spare circuit breakers or spaces to add a new circuit breaker as required.

4. DESIGN APPROACH

A. Power and Lighting

1) The intent of the design shall be to install new BAS panels adjacent to the existing outdated panels. Generally it was impossible to trace the power source of the existing BAS panel, therefore new 120-volt emergency branch circuit shall be routed to the new BAS network controller panel power supplies. This is required by VA standards.

2) Additionally, new network switches shall be installed in various locations throughout the three buildings. Local emergency 120-volt emergency branch circuits shall be provided for network switches as shown on drawings.

3) Where necessary, existing lighting and other ceiling mounted electrical devices shall be taken down and reinstalled in the same location during the course of the construction.

4) The circuits for all mechanical equipment, which have been scheduled for demolition, shall be removed back to the source.

B. Equipment Grounding and Wiring Devices

1) In general, 20-amp duplex receptacles will be located where required. All receptacles shall be hospital-grade, plug-tail type receptacles complying with NEC Art. 517.13(B).

2) All non-current carrying metallic parts of the electrical distribution system will be bonded to the grounding electrode system or building steel.

3) An insulated grounding conductor will be run with all power feeder and branch circuits to supplement the conduit ground.

4) All wiring shall be solid for wire #10 and smaller and stranded for wires larger than #10.

5) Nonflexible metallic conduit will be provided for all emergency circuits due to the need to provide redundant grounding and protection of the branch circuit.

6) Metal-Clad cabling, Type MC, will be permitted for branch circuit wiring where concealed within partitions and above ceilings for lighting fixtures. In addition, liquid-tight flexible metal conduit will be used at motor and other vibration transmissive locations.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.

Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.

Note: Executive Order 13658 generally applies to contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act that were awarded on or between January 1, 2015 and January 29, 2022, and that have not been renewed or extended on or after January 30, 2022. Executive Order 13658 does not apply to contracts subject only to the Davis-Bacon Related Acts regardless of when they were awarded.

If a contract is subject to Executive Order 13658, the contractor must pay all covered workers at least $13.30 per hour (or the applicable wage rate listed on this wage determination, if it is higher) for all hours spent performing on the contract in 2025. The applicable Executive Order minimum wage rate will be adjusted annually. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under Executive Order 13658 is available at www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classifications and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the type(s) of construction and geographic area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order under rate identifiers indicating whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate), a survey rate, a weighted union average rate, a state adopted rate, or a supplemental classification rate.

Union Rate Identifiers

A four-letter identifier beginning with characters other than ""SU"", ""UAVG"", ?SA?, or ?SC? denotes that a union rate was prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2024. PLUM is an identifier of the union whose collectively bargained rate prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers.

0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. The date, 07/01/2024 in the example, is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all changes over time that are reported to WHD in the rates in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing the classification.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

The UAVG identifier indicates that no single rate prevailed for those classifications, but that 100% of the data reported for the classifications reflected union rates. EXAMPLE:

UAVG-OH-0010 01/01/2024. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the State of Ohio.

The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. The date, 01/01/2024 in the example, indicates the date the wage determination was updated to reflect the most current union average rate.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January, to reflect a weighted average of the current rates in the collective bargaining agreements on which the rate is based.

Survey Rate Identifiers

The ""SU"" identifier indicates that either a single non-union rate prevailed (as defined in 29 CFR 1.2) for this classification in the survey or that the rate was derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As a weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SUFL2022-007 6/27/2024. SU indicates the rate is a single non-union prevailing rate or a weighted average of survey data for that classification. FL indicates the State of Florida. 2022 is the year of the survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. The date, 6/27/2024 in the example, indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

?SU? wage rates typically remain in effect until a new survey is conducted. However, the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) has the discretion to update such rates under 29 CFR 1.6(c)(1).

State Adopted Rate Identifiers

The ""SA"" identifier indicates that the classifications and prevailing wage rates set by a state (or local) government were adopted under 29 C.F.R 1.3(g)-(h). Example: SAME2023-007 01/03/2024. SA reflects that the rates are state adopted. ME refers to the State of Maine. 2023 is the year during which the state completed the survey on which the listed classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination.

The date, 01/03/2024 in the example, reflects the date on which the classifications and rates under the ?SA? identifier took effect under state law in the state from which the rates were adopted.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

a) a survey underlying a wage determination

b) an existing published wage determination

c) an initial WHD letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

d) an initial conformance (additional classification and rate) determination

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be directed to the WHD Branch of Wage Surveys. Requests can be submitted via email to davisbaconinfo@dol.gov or by mail to:

Branch of Wage Surveys Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

Regarding any other wage determination matter such as conformance decisions, requests for initial decisions should be directed to the WHD Branch of Construction Wage Determinations.

Requests can be submitted via email to BCWD-Office@dol.gov or by mail to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

2) If an initial decision has been issued, then any interested party (those affected by the action) that disagrees with the decision can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7).

Requests for review and reconsideration can be submitted via email to dba.reconsideration@dol.gov or by mail to:

Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210.
