P/W: LakeBaldwinCoolingTowers

Please clarify the intent. It would seem that to install two (2) new flow meters on the main chilled water lines (one on the supply and one on the return piping) leaving and returning to the CEP from the rest of the campus, would be a waste as they would read the same flow unless there was a very significant leak somewhere on campus.

Is the intent actually to have a BTU meter installed on the chilled water lines? A BTU meter consists of a single water flow meter in either CHW line along with a calibrated matched pair of temperature sensors (one in the chilled water supply and the other in the return), with a BACNET compatible BAS interface that records interval and cumulative data. A CHW differential pressure meter can also be included at the same location.

Can the respondents assume the reference to “item 14 above” should read as “item 13 above”?

Can the respondents assume the reference to “new and old chilled water lines” should actually read as “new and old condenser water lines”?

Can the respondents assume the reference to “existing chilled water system” should actually read as “existing condenser water system”?

Can the respondents assume the references to “entire chilled water system” and “entire chilled water condensate water system” both should actually read as “entire condenser water system”?

health care facility”. Please consider revision to this language to add after the word “facility” the words similar to “or other similar active operational type facility”. There are a number of facilities similarly situated such as operational military support facilities, commercial office buildings, etc. that represent similar challenges to the contractor regarding safety, air quality, maintaining of continuous operations, high visibility, critical infrastructure and on-going critical operations, etc., on which contractors may have successfully executed the installation of cooling towers and for which such work would demonstrate the contractor’s ability to successfully execute the Lake Baldwin cooling towers project.
