This project is addressing two separate components of the Main Computer Room GD13-1. The first component is to install a new chiller. All requirements of the first component are outlined below:

· Install a new downflow standard, dual cool, air cooled 208V 10 Ton Chiller with forward curved blowers, 3 stage electric reheat, an infrared humidifier, and a digital scroll R-407 compressor in the Main Computer Room GD13-1. The outdoor condenser will be installed bedside existing units and all supply and return lines between the indoor and outdoor unit will use the same path as the exiting units through the stairwell (approximately 110 feet).The electrical path to the condenser will be ran in the same location also along the exiting units path through the stairwell to the roof.

· Any roofing repairs or curbing required for the new equipment and any other roofing work required for this installation shall be included.

· Install the proper height floor stand for the chiller and reconfigure the existing floor to accommodate the installation of the chiller.

· Install and upgrade the line and load circuit system including all wire, conduit, and breakers of the new system. Upstream breakers need to be assessed for capacity and adjusted for additional load. The power is to come from Electrical Panel CRM (located in the data center) this panel is fed from the ME panel (located in electrical closet GA01-1) which is fed from the E2 panel (located in electrical closet GA01-1).

· The new chiller is to use the existing piping tied-in to the hospital chilled water system that is feeding the two existing data center chillers. The tie in to the hospital chilled water is located in Mechanical Room GD 15-1 and being fed through the wall to the Main Computer Room GD13-1.

· The new chiller will need to include controls and indications that are back-net compatible with Johnson Controls and will need to be integrated to the Medical Centers existing Johnson Controls System The second component is to balance the electrical loads on the data center power distribution units and installing two circuits and receptacles for future use by the medical center. The requirements are outlined below.

· Balance the electrical loads on all phases between the two data center power distribution units.

· Install 1 triple pole single throw 30 amp 120/208V circuit breakers in PDU # 1 and 1 triple pole single throw 30-amp circuit breakers in PDU# 2. From each of the circuit breakers supply and install all conductors, conduits, and outlet boxes necessary to install one 30 A 120/208V distribution circuit (3L+N+G) with upsized neutral supporting one NEMA L21-30R receptacle. These 2 receptacles need to be located under the floor in the “Future location of FDS Servers” as noted on 35% drawing.

· Core hours for construction shall be 7:30 AM through 5:00 PM. Phasing of the construction will be necessary to reduce periods of disruption to the best extent possible and avoid disruption of patient care. After hours work will be required on the project to avoid disruption to direct patient care activities. Power outages will be limited to weekends or after hours. Power outages shall not last longer than four (4) hours. If outage is projected to last longer contractor will supply temporary power to effected equipment.

Existing Site Conditions: It is recommended that a site walk be performed before construction. Failure to completely verify existing conditions affecting the project will not be used as justification for monetary change order. The work is located at the VA medical Center campus in Salt Lake Utah. The expectation of the VA is no asbestos abatement should be necessary for this project; however, this assumption is to be validated by the Contractor through site investigation prior to construction

Period of performance is 365 calendar days.
