About this file

This document is Attachment G for Invitation for Bid (IFB) 2000004148 issued by Fairfax County's Facilities Management Department (FMD) for renovation work at the Gerry Hyland Government Center. The project involves comprehensive HVAC equipment replacement, including a three-cell cooling tower, rooftop unit, make-up air unit, exhaust fans, and associated controls and systems. A mandatory site walk-through is scheduled for August 5, 2025, and contractors not present will be disqualified. The project duration is set at twelve months from the notice to proceed, with substantial completion required by the end of that period and project closeout within four additional weeks. The work must be carefully phased to minimize disruption to the 24/7 operating facility, which houses health clinics and provides sensitive public services.

The project requires detailed submittals, including work/phasing plans, safety plans, and comprehensive documentation using approved construction management software. The contractor must provide test and balance reporting, commissioning documentation, training, and close-out materials. Specific technical requirements include maintaining two operational cooling tower cells during renovation, replacing fill materials, installing new fan motors with variable frequency drives, and integrating equipment with the existing Building Automation System. The contractor will be responsible for all permits, inspections, and ensuring continuous operation of the facility, including providing supplemental HVAC during any system interruptions. All equipment and materials must be new, and the work must comply with Fairfax County's Architectural & Engineering guidelines and Operational Energy Strategy and Sustainability Guidelines.

Indirect Gas Fired MAU unit:

When enabled through the BAS or manual override of the HOA switch, OA damper shall open, and fan shall start and run continuously after the damper end switch has proven open. Unit shall modulate gas heating as required to maintain 55°F discharge air temperature.

The MAU shall be connected to the existing BAS system through BACnet MS/TP and provide all system points on the Graphical User Interface (GUI). Remove the existing freezestat from the control system.

Create as-built operation and maintenance manual documenting all control work. Install laminated panel-mounted or wall-mounted field wiring diagrams for all new controllers and thermostats. Label all field devices to match reference tag in documentation.

Submit control system calibration, check-test-start, and internal commissioning processes for review and approval. Include documentation verifying these processes have been completed and indicating the results of same in the control system operations and maintenance manual.

As part of the training (refer to Training section), conduct an on-site demonstration of the completed system functional performance and system graphical user interface operation.

17. Test & Balance:

For the systems impacted within the scope of work, provide testing & balancing of the HVAC equipment and systems after installation and startup of new equipment by an AABC or NEBB certified test and balance company. Provide an electronic copy of results to FFX- FMD. Allow three (3) weeks for review and return of comments. Submitted Air balance report shall include but is not limited to procedures and results for the following: Air test and balance on outside, supply, return/exhaust air, airflow traverse, total air static pressure and pressure drop, temperature measurements in heating and cooling, electrical and RPM measurement. Provide plans with the TAB report that indicate equipment/device locations.

The report and the plans shall use consistent labeling for ease of cross-referencing between them.

18. Commissioning:

This project requires commissioning which entails a series of firsthand observations and contractor provided documentation to show as proof to the owner that the new equipment has been installed, started, and performs per the expectations of what would reasonably be considered as a quality installation. Provide all necessary labor and tools to meet the requirements of the owner approved commissioning efforts. Provide a commissioning outline within a maximum of four (4) weeks after the awarding of the project. Allow three

(3) weeks for owner review and return of comments. The final outline shall be provided electronically through email or the Contractor’s CM software and will be utilized for subsequent sections that include testing results and other pertinent commissioning documentation.

At a minimum, the outline shall include the following separated and individually tabbed sections:

1) A table of contents with all sections identified.

2) A list of the names and roles of the parties involved.

3) A list of equipment to be commissioned.

4) Manufacturer’s installation checklists and start-up forms as well as any pre-functional testing procedures the contractor may deem appropriate for each type of equipment.

5) Contractor provided functional performance testing procedures for each type of equipment and controls to demonstrate to the owner that the equipment and controls respond in a fashion commensurate with the control inputs (such as heating and cooling demands).

6) A list of deficiencies found and the procedures and responsible parties for rectifying them.

7) Subsequent testing results to address deficiencies previously documented.

8) Final and signed off start-up and pre-functional testing forms.

9) Final and signed off functional testing forms.

Equipment and controls shall be functionally tested at the conclusion of equipment testing and balancing. The contractor shall demonstrate the correct operation of all control parameters for each piece of mechanical equipment and corresponding sequence of operation. Demonstration shall be in the presence of the FMD project manager, a site representative, and the owner’s controls representative.

The primary focus for the commissioning of this project is for FMD to have firsthand knowledge of the equipment’s proper and complete installation and operation and be provided with corresponding documentation of the processes and results of these efforts.

The project will not be considered complete until FMD has signed off on the acceptability of the installation and performance of the installed equipment and devices. You are encouraged to contract with or engage a third-party commissioning agent if you believe your company is not capable of fulfilling these requirements to FMD’s satisfaction.

19. Training:

Provide equipment and controls training at the site at final completion.

A. Training shall be scheduled once all testing, air balancing, commissioning and punch list items have been completed to the satisfaction of the FMD Project Manager. Training shall be scheduled two weeks in advance of the requested training date.

B. O & M manuals shall be used as reference material for the onsite training. Other training materials (Contractor provided) that are deemed appropriate may be used as well. Provide the FMD Project Manager with a training agenda and a copy of all training material a minimum of one week prior to the scheduled training date. This material is not considered a project submittal but will be reviewed and any resulting comments will be conveyed either verbally or via email. Revisions to the material may be required as part of this process.

20. Closeout Documentation:
