STATEMENT OF WORK

Project 621-19-125 Contractor Services to Replace OR Chiller James H. Quillen VA Medical Center Mountain Home, TN

1. General

The operation room (OR) area is currently supplied by a 150-ton chiller unit that is oversized and is near the end of its useful life. This project is to supplement it with an equivalent 150-ton system. Chilled water service to the OR cannot be interrupted at any time.

Base Bid includes select demolition, purchase, and installation of a new 150-ton air cooled chiller, pumps, controls, and commissioning for fully functional system meeting all current codes and standards. It assumed that the existing controls and power wiring can be reused. Demolition will include select removal of fencing, bollards, electrical and plumbing. New work will consist of a new concrete pad and fencing with required safety and service clearances, installation of the new chiller including piping, insulation, valves, controls, and electrical power. The existing chiller will remain in service. The new controls will allow only one chiller be operating at any time.

Bid Alternate 1 is same as the Base Bid except that the existing chiller will be removed including disposal.

2. Scope of Work

2.1 The contractor shall be required to furnish all labor, materials, transportation, equipment, tools, and supervision to perform the scope of work for this project.

2.2 The contractor will be responsible for performing a site visit to determine the existing equipment details and current installation.

2.3 The new equipment will be installed in the same area as the existing equipment and the contractor will need to develop a plan to provide chilled water service to the OR at all times during the demolition, installation, and commissioning of the new equipment.

2.7 The contractor will provide and install all necessary piping for a fully functional system. Propress fittings will not be allowed. The new system shall have quick disconnects for emergency situations.

2.8 The system must include acoustic options for noise attenuation if there is a need for noise control.
