About this file

The document is Addendum Two for a Nursing Facility Renovations project at Western State Hospital in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, issued by the Commonwealth of Kentucky's Department for Facilities and Support Services, Division of Engineering and Contract Administration. The addendum, dated April 4, 2024, provides important details for bidders, including a site visit opportunity with Joe Gunn, Facilities Maintenance Director, and project phasing information. The contractor will have simultaneous access to Buildings 30 and 31, with no patients present during construction. The project involves renovations with specific requirements for the Recreation Room 100, and includes five additional days in the project schedule for coordination with the Commissioning Authority.

The addendum includes technical specifications for the project, particularly focusing on the Controls System, which will require integration into the existing Andover front end system by Comfort Systems USA. A new Section 235216 for Condensing Boilers has been added to the contract documents, with manufacturers like Aerco, Fulton, Laars, Lochinvar, and RBI approved. The document provides detailed installation, connection, and testing requirements for the boilers, including specifications for venting, electrical connections, and field quality control. The project also includes provisions for a factory-authorized service representative to train the owner's maintenance personnel on boiler operation and maintenance.
