About this file

This is a Section 11 40 00 Food Service Equipment specification document prepared as a 100% stamped submittal for a Department of Veterans Affairs construction project (557-21-101: Correct Safety and FCA Deficiencies Building 2). The specification establishes comprehensive requirements for the design, fabrication, installation, and warranty of food service equipment for a kitchen facility.

The document details general provisions including coordination responsibilities between the Foodservice Equipment Contractor, General Contractor, and other trades; submittal requirements including product data, shop drawings, rough-in drawings, and coordination drawings with 15 working days allowed for initial review; and quality assurance standards requiring NSF certification, UL labeling, and compliance with ASHRAE, NFPA, ASME, and ADA regulations. Warranty requirements include one year parts and labor on all equipment and an additional four-year warranty on refrigeration compressors. The specification includes detailed material standards for fabricated equipment (stainless steel Type 304, galvanized steel in non-food contact areas, specific insulation requirements), construction methods, and electrical work requirements. Installation provisions address equipment leveling, plumbing/electrical connections, seismic bracing, and protection during construction. The itemized equipment list for the kitchen storage area includes eleven high-density shelving sections (Metro MetroMax I system), two walk-in coolers (Thermalrite Meat/Fish and Produce models), one walk-in cooler (Dairy), one walk-in cooler (Breakdown), one walk-in cooler (Condiment), evaporator coil assemblies (RDT models with Ecosmart features), shelving units (Cambro models), and a utility rack (Cres Cor), all with detailed component specifications, refrigerant leak detection alarms, LED lighting requirements, powered door assemblies with manual override, and connection requirements for plumbing and electrical contractors.
