TAB Scope Clarification

Project: VA PHX EHRM Project No: 00961.00

Date of Issue: 06/25/2021

Purpose: To better define the scope of work regarding the Test and Air Balance portion of this project.

All additions, corrections and clarifications are to be submitted to DHE Engineering within five days of receipt.

1. Pre-Construction: Anywhere a new Terminal Unit is being added or removed, rebalancing will need to take place. Prior to demolition there will be multiple airflow readings that need to be taken. First, perform a traverse reading in the duct mains upstream of where the work will take place. Next, perform airflow measurements on all diffusers and grilles downstream of where the traverse measurement was taken.

Once these measurements have been taken, submit to A/E team for their records.

2. Post-Construction: After construction is complete rebalancing will need to take place to ensure the spaces around the renovated rooms are left as they were prior to construction. Perform another traverse airflow measurement at the same spot as the traverse taken during pre-construction. Balance the system or adjust airflow from the Air Handler as needed to match the airflow that was acquired during the pre construction measurement. The same will need to be performed for all the diffusers and grilles that had pre construction airflow readings. Verify that the post construction measurement for all diffusers and grilles matches the pre construction measurements, adjust system as needed to acquire the correct airflow readings.

NOTES

3 These valves are full port and do not have the Optimizer insert.

4 Close-Off Pressures measured with 35 in-lb. actuator. The “Close Off Pressure” is the maximum allowable pressure drop across the valve body when the valve is fully closed. (Do not use actuators with torques higher than 90 in-lbs) 5 The Cv is the gallons of water per minute (gpm) at 60°F that the valve will pass at 1 PSI pressure drop. Hence the 1.0 PSI pressure differential column in the table above is equivalent to the Cv value.

MODEL NUMBER SELECTION

PIPING CONFIGURATIONS

Our 3-Way ball allows the same 3-Way valve to be installed in either a mixing or diverting configuration without sacrificing any performance or Cv. (Valve shown is 1/2"-2-1/2". 3"-6” valve has bypass port in Z plane.)

ACTUATOR SELECTION

The Griswold Controls Universal Mounting Plate on all 1/2" to 3" valves is compatible with the following actuators besides the actuators detailed in the following tables. Contact the factory if you have a different model number not listed below.6.

THE PHOENIX ARIZONA VETERAN ADMINISTRATION HEALTH CARE SYSTEM (PVAHCS)

Carl T. Hayden Medical Center

650 E. Indian School Road

Phoenix, AZ 85012

The contract and/or services will not include performance or provision or portion therefore (installation, service, storage, use, sharing, or distribution), involving Veteran or individually identifiable information, including any of 18 HIPAA identifiers, PHI, PII, and/or information that is sensitive.

Prepared by:

Rich Casey, Capital Program Supervisor

Scope

Construction Hospital operations shall not be unexpectedly impacted during this project. All impacted shall be planned with the COR as an outage (See more information in part 11 below). Patient care cannot be compromised during this project; therefore, it is highly likely construction will require carefully coordinated phasing to not impact patient care. Minor outages may be permitted if no reasonable alternatives exist but must be planned and approved in advance of the requested date. See below for more details.

Successful outcomes include, but not limited to, the following requirements:

NOTE: Requirements are the roadmap to the outcomes.

Requirements begin with the CFM Program Guide for Construction and reference to the design Technical Information Library (TIL).
