Questions/Answers – Submitted after due date

With regards to spec 23 64 00 line 1.4.D.1, will a 5 year compressor parts and labor warranty which covers motor and internal gear cover warranty required in lieu of the 5-year motor, transmission, and compressor warranty?

This is acceptable.

Submittals in spec 23 64 00 line 1.6.b.1.c are asking for efficiency at full load and part load WITHOUT applying any tolerance indicated in the AHRI 550/590/standard, want to clarify that this chiller is not required under zero tolerance conditions, efficiencies are just to be ran at this standard for submittals?

Chiller to meet AHRI 550/590 rating as specified for all operating conditions as scheduled.

In spec 23 64 00 line 2.1.B says that “part load and full load efficiency ratings of the chiller shall not exceed those shown on the drawings.” By the inherent nature and design of conditions, either part load efficiency or full load efficiency of competing manufacturers will exceed efficiency rating of the chiller shown on the drawing, please make allowances for full load efficiency rating required for competing chiller manufacturers to bid system.

Shall not exceed values as scheduled and must meet ASHRAE 90.1 current standard as approved per current VA standards.

With regards to the cooling towers, as long as most requirements are met, could a high-density polyethylene cooling tower be considered in lieu of stainless steel?

No, only stainless steel per specifications.

Existing water treatment to be coordinated with existing VA.

For typical single pole signs, no.

There is new paving on the west and south sides of the new chiller plant building, and asphalt patching in areas where new chilled water, etc lines are to be installed.

This spec section is not required.
