A scale of 1:200 (1/16 inch) is acceptable for architectural floor layout if an entire floor cannot be shown on one sheet. Submit a complete double line layout of areas of critical importance, at a scale of 1:50 (1/4 inch) including equipment.

** Submit minimum 1:100 (1/8 inch) scale floor plans, new and renovated, incorporating all of the revisions required by comments from schematics.

*** Submit fully dimensioned, complete, and coordinated 1:100 (1/8 inch) scale floor plans, incorporating all revisions required by comments from the design development phase.

NOTES:

1. Use lines between spaces to indicate the centerline of the partition (for schematics only).

2. Indicate doors with a slash mark.

3. Along the corridor, the line shall represent the corridor side of the partition.

4. Indicate ceiling mounted equipment, lighting fixtures, air diffusers, registers, tracks, and other significant elements.

5. Identify all equipment for each room. Indicate and coordinate all equipment with the Equipment Guide List (Program Guide 7610) and Activated Equipment List. Use VA standard symbols and notation to distinguish between contractor-furnished and installed (CC), VA-furnished contractor-installed (VC), VA-furnished and installed (VV), VA-furnished with construction funds [VC(CF) and VV(CF)] and relocated (R) equipment. Equipment floor plans are not required for the offices, consultation rooms, classrooms, conference rooms, and waiting rooms within the above departments. Draw equipment details which are necessary for major decisions, though complete detailing is not required for this submittal.

6. Indicate existing finish schedule and notes on plan.

Replace Air Handling Units 22 and 23 VA Minor Checklist – 100% Bid Documents for Construction Submittal

7. Label as required for schematic drawings. Coordinate new room numbering with medical center.

8. Use the same names on drawings as those used in the space program. Provide area figures in fractional form, e.g., 400/390. Indicate space provided, but not called for in the space program, as: -/390.

9. Label each service or activity listed in the Project Scope Data of the Design Program and indicate boundaries with a distinctive line.

Include the activity code number (see Handbook 7610).

10. If the project requires exterior work, show all facades indicating massing, proposed fenestration and the building relationship to adjacent structures and the finish grade. Show all significant building materials, including their colors, any proposed roof top mechanical equipment, architectural screens, skylights, and stacks on the elevation drawings. If building is designed for future expansion (vertical and/or horizontal), delineate elevations with and without the future expansion. If project is an addition, show elevations of the existing building in sufficient detail to illustrate the relationship between the new and existing in terms of scale, material, and detail.

11. Define the relationship of the finish ground floor to finish grade at major entrances and docks.

12. Indicate construction including fire resistance rating, building materials and systems, and proposed sill and head heights of openings.

Indicate both new and renovated areas on form provided by VA.

13. Define building configuration. Draw sections at the same scale as floor plans, normally 1:100 (1/8 inch). If the building abuts an existing structure, indicate in the section how the new floor elevations align with existing.

14. Identify psychiatric areas where special considerations are required to ensure the safety of patients (e.g., hard ceilings, safety glazing, etc.).

15. Indicate new building components and systems, such as window design, roofing system, special entryways, building "skin", and any special architectural elements for the project. Complete detailing of miscellaneous items is not required for this submission.

16. Indicate all building systems, materials, and future expansion, if applicable.

17. Submit a drawing for all which is part of the construction contract.

18. Provide square meters (feet) of lead paint and x-ray shielding to be removed.

19. Format provided in SPECIFICATIONS. If there is no VA master specification, develop contract specification that is in compliance with regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency.

HVAC NOTES:

1. Provide specific design recommendations and full back-up data. Include the heating and cooling capacities of each functional area and the block cooling and heating loads for each new and/or existing building.

2. The locations of these louvers must not allow short circuiting of air from emergency generator exhaust or truck waiting and loading dock areas into air intake etc. Consider factors affecting louver location such as visibility, historical considerations, wind direction, nuisance and health hazard odors (from emergency generator or truck exhausts).3. Include room-by-room, peak zone-by-zone, and building block heating and cooling loads.

Provide a tabulation of steam consumption based on data from all sources. Show correlation between each HVAC zone boundary and architectural floor area correlation between the architectural room numbers and abbreviated/coded room numbers used with computer input data sheets.

Tim Murray, Sr. Mechanical Designer

OVERVIEW

This project involves the replacement of two air handling units (AHUs) at the James A. Haley

VA Medical Center in Tampa, FL. This narrative describes the mechanical design intent and basis of design, including assumptions made. This design project is based on a direct replacement of two AHUs, 30-AHU-22 and 30-AHU-23, with like-kind, matching the 1972 replacement design provided by the VA.

HVAC EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing AHUs, 30-AHU-22 and 30-AHU-23 were designed and installed in 1972 in the

Building 30 Mechanical Room 011. The existing AHUs are deteriorated and rusted with degraded performance due to age and environmental conditions within Mechanical Room 011.

The 30-AHU-22 and 30-AHU-23 serve ground floor areas, consisting of 7,220 square feet and

6,190 square feet, respectively. The North Wing, Nurses Stations, West Wing, and East Wing are the areas affected by this design. Please refer to Table 1 and Table 2 ‘Areas Served” for details.

The existing units are located in Electrical Room 30-011, on the ground floor. The unit replacements will be installed in the existing units’ locations within this room. An existing outside air intake louver, serving both units, is located on the north wall of the adjacent room, Electrical 30-011a, and will be reused for the new units.

The existing 30-AHU-22 is a 100 percent outdoor air unit with a heating hot water (HHW) pre-heating coil, chilled water (CHW) coils, (MERV 8)…
