About this file
This is a Bid Addendum-B to specification sections for HVAC instrumentation, controls, and air-handling equipment for the Whiteriver Hospital Construction project in Arizona. The document establishes technical requirements for three major HVAC system components: direct digital control (DDC) building automation systems, custom outdoor central-station air-handling units, and active chilled beams.
The DDC system specification mandates a complete BACnet-based building automation system with native peer-to-peer networking, requiring all devices to be BACnet Testing Laboratories (BTL) certified with no gateways or protocol translators permitted. The system must include Building Controllers (B-BC), Advanced Application Controllers (B-AAC), and Application Specific Controllers (B-ASC) organized in a four-tier network architecture, with advanced operator workstation software supporting web-based access, trend logging, alarm management, and historical data archival for 48+ consecutive months. The specification requires system performance including response times within 5-10 seconds for point updates, 30% minimum spare bandwidth on all network tiers, DDC PID control loop execution at least once per second, and alarm annunciation within 45 seconds. All controllers must be factory-tested, certified, and actively manufactured at bid time, with availability of spare parts and support guaranteed for five years post-completion. The specification includes extensive requirements for sensors (temperature, humidity, pressure, CO2, CO), control valves with specific pressure ratings and flow characteristics, dampers, actuators, enclosures with environmental controls, and comprehensive commissioning and training procedures including three levels of operator training (daily operators, advanced operators, and system administrators).
The custom outdoor air-handling unit specification requires double-wall, insulated construction with galvanized steel and 4-inch polyurethane foam insulation capable of withstanding ±12-inch static pressure, equipped with mixed-air blender sections providing minimum 75-80% mixing effectiveness, variable-frequency drive fan arrays with individual controllers, integrated ultraviolet-C microbial control systems with minimum 1225 W/cm² intensity at coil corners, and roof curbs with integrated gaskets and thermal insulation. The active chilled beams specification calls for sheet metal units with primary and secondary air plenums, copper-aluminum hydronic coils rated for 300 psig minimum, field-adjustable discharge air patterns, and exterior/interior installations with finishes meeting powder coat standards. Both specifications require delegated design submittals with seismic qualification data, comprehensive field quality control and commissioning with factory-authorized service representatives, and manufacturer training for Owner maintenance personnel, with testing and balancing to comply with ASHRAE guidelines.
