Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) Heating, Ventilating, and Air
Conditioning (HVAC) System Retro-Commissioning
Vision Statement
Provide a cost effective command wide contract method to accomplish HVAC (Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning) system retro-commissioning.
Successful retro-commissioning will assist in ensuring HVAC systems in Air Force facilities operate as intended and at optimum efficiency.
1 Introduction
This effort is to provide a contract vehicle to accomplish retro-commissioning on HVAC systems throughout the Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) area of responsibility (AOR).
1.1 Mission
Keeping our facilities properly operating is crucial to support mission objectives. Performing
HVAC system Retro-Commissioning will provide HVAC systems that operate as intended, run efficiently, and thereby reduce energy usage, minimize trouble calls, and extend equipment life.
1.2 Background
Retro-Commissioning (RCx) involves the systematic investigation and evaluation of existing
HVAC systems to improve a building's operations and maintenance (O&M). RCx is a systematic process intended not only to optimize how an individual piece of equipment operates, but also to optimize how an entire HVAC system works together as a whole. O&M adjustments, tune-ups, and diagnostic testing accomplished during RCx greatly optimize building HVAC system operation. RCx may also result in recommendations for future large scale capital improvements. The Department of Defense (DOD) is mandated to meet energy reduction goals of the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) 2007, and RCx efforts will help accomplish this goal.
1.3 Scope
The contractor shall provide all materials, equipment, tools, and labor as required, to perform all work necessary to retro-commission HVAC systems in the PACAF area of responsibility (AOR), which includes Eielson Air Force Base (AFB), Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER), and several remote radar sites in Alaska; Misawa Air Base (AB), Yokota AB, and Kadena AB located in Japan; Osan AB, Kunsan AB, and smaller collocated operating bases (COBs) located in
South Korea; future contract locations may be added to include installations within the PACAF
AOR. The contractor will serve as the commissioning provider (formerly referred to as the commissioning authority), and services provided will include HVAC system evaluation, investigation, assessment, data collection and review, functional analysis, testing, balancing, energy analysis, reporting/documentation, corrective maintenance of issues identified by the
RCx contractor (to be verified and approved by the government prior to accomplishment), and cost estimating for potential future capital projects. Contractor may be required to accomplish work on multiple facilities at a base, and multiple task orders to accomplish work throughout the
AOR.

3.1 Requirements Summary
Retro-commissioning is required due to issues with initial commissioning adequacy, and HVAC system changes over time. This creates system inefficiencies, increased energy usage, and occupant discomfort. Buildings which are selected for this work have operational HVAC systems, but may not have fully functional control systems or data monitoring and logging capability.
3.2 Retro-Commissioning Services
This section provides further breakdown of the work steps needed to perform successful HVAC system retro-commissioning.
3.2.1 Planning Phase
The contractor shall perform a documentation review of existing HVAC information provided as the basis of work for facilities identified in the task order. The planning phase consists of the following;
a) Documentation Review - will include;
1) Collect and analyze HVAC system documentation such as as-built plans, O&M manuals, and equipment lists.
2) Collect and analyze energy audits, energy analysis reports, BUILDER Sustainment
Management System (SMS) data reports, Energy, Condition, & Optimization (ECO) reports, or any other applicable studies and audits. Data such as equipment manufacturer, model number and type, size, capacity, age, location, and terminal unit quantities can be obtained and used to plan for functional testing, if available.
3) Collect and analyze HVAC shop data (e.g., boiler combustion analysis test results, boiler inspection results, airflow test and balancing records, humidity/temperature tests and logs).
4) Collect and analyze HVAC Work Order history from shop records or other databases (e.g., Interim Work Information Management System (IWIMS), GeoBase, NexGen IT (TRIRIGA), etc.)
5) Develop Current Facility Requirements (CFR) survey. (additional CFR guidance can be found in ASHRAE Guideline 0.2, Commissioning Process for Existing Systems and
Assemblies).
6) Conduct advance phone interview/discussion with the base Points of Contact (POC(s)) to plan and coordinate the initial site survey.
b) Develop Utility Bill Benchmarking:
The approach to benchmarking shall be tailored to the specific needs of the building and shall target major HVAC equipment. Based on previous experience on RCx projects, the contractor shall use the following parameters (at a minimum) to determine the building baseline energy performance. Benchmarking shall include for the building: kilowatt (kW) and kilowatt-hour
(kWh), natural gas and combustion fuel consumption, diesel fuel oil consumption and steam consumption where available. For HVAC equipment, Chiller and/or Direct Expansion (DX) kW and kWh, fan kW and kWh, and pumps kW and kWh. These values shall be used to determine if final consumption values result in an energy savings. The Air Force (AF) or designated service component will assist in providing as much of the data as possible; however; if data is not available, then the contractor shall provide their own portable measuring devices.
1) As an alternative; the contractor may use energy modeling software to determine building energy usage and performance based on measurements of values such as air handler discharge air temperature, mixed air temperature, and return air temperature.
c) Develop Draft Retro-Commissioning Plan
Contractor shall take all gathered information and develop a Draft Retro-commissioning plan, which provides the approach in which to continue the Retro-Commissioning process. This is to ensure there is a documented and established approach to performing system evaluations.
This will facilitate on-site support of the actions, as well as providing a road map of actions to make the best use of time while on site. The draft Retro-Commissioning plan includes identification of Retro-commissioning objectives, proposed Point-to-Point test approach, proposed Test and Balance Assessment Approach, and sample Point-to-Point and Test and
Balance Forms. (Retro-Commissioning plan guidance can be found in ASHRAE Guideline 0.2, Commissioning Process for Existing Systems and Assemblies).
3.2.2 Investigation Phase
In this phase, the contractor will be on-site to conduct interviews, perform visual inspection of equipment to verify accuracy of existing equipment inventory and operation, perform data logging to gather baseline data and conduct functional testing of HVAC equipment and controls.
The contractor shall perform system investigations and documentation for both the heating and cooling seasons. The results of the investigation phase will result in a project issues log, which will be the basis for government approval for follow-on minor corrective maintenance actions.
a) Interviews: Conduct on-site interviews of HVAC technical support staff. Interview facility managers and conduct Current Facility Requirements (CFR) survey to understand and verify
Current Facility Requirements. Review Operations & Maintenance (O&M) staffing resources and HVAC shop Recurring Work Program (RWP)/Preventive Maintenance (PM) and compare against manufacturer's recommendations or industry standards.
b) Visual Inspection: Conduct site condition assessment survey of facilities for heating and cooling equipment. Compare current O&M to design or manufacturer's specified O&M.
Annotate any differences between documented vs. visually inspected condition. Confirm and validate existing equipment inventory and Sequence of Operation by reviewing installation
HVAC shop Preventive Maintenance (PM) records, or system O&M information. (Note: not all facilities will have this information available).
c) Baseline Data Logging: Implement diagnostic monitoring (Data Logging) Plan for Energy
Baseline during cooling and heating seasons. Information will be used compare and report increases in operating efficiencies. Data loggers shall collect kW, kWh, temperatures, and pressures on all HVAC equipment for a minimum of 14 days for each season to establish a baseline. Any travel must be approved by the Government Contracting Officer prior to incurring travel related costs.
d) Functional Testing: Conduct Point-to-Point and functional testing during cooling and heating seasons. Results of any functional test will be documented to provide the following type information:
1) Generate an Issues Log from the results of functional testing and technical troubleshooting that will detail all broken/non-functional components of the evaluated system. This log will be prioritized by how critical that component is to the function of the system, and a proposed cost for implementing the correction. Corrections that require complete major component or system replacement will be categorized as a Capital Investment type effort and detailed on a separate log sheet. Examples are provided in paragraph 3.2.3 below.
See Appendix A for further information on the RCx Issues Log.
e) Incidental minor corrective maintenance items identified for correction shall be approved by the Contracting Officer (or the designated Contracting Officers Representative if cost is less than $3500) after there is an agreed upon solution and price for each item identified on the
Issues Log for correction.
f) The contractor shall develop and submit an Investigation Phase Report that will include an initial Functional Testing Report, the Draft Retro-Commissioning Plan which includes identification of Retro-commissioning objectives, proposed Point-to-Point test approach, proposed Test and Balance Assessment Approach, and sample Point-to-Point and Test and
Balance Forms. (Additional guidance can be found in ASHRAE Guideline 0.2, Commissioning
Process for Existing Systems and Assemblies).
1) The report shall also include any Capital Improvement measures identified during this phase. This section shall also include estimated costs for enacting the proposed capital improvements and estimated energy savings that can be obtained as a result. Use the
Department of Energy (DoE) Building Life-Cycle Cost (BLCC) program to quantify those savings using the following assumptions:
a) Location; nearest US City or US Average for overseas. Unified Facilities Criteria
(UFC) 3-701-01 - DoD Facilities Pricing Guide and its associated data tables may be used for reference (available at www.wbdg.org).
b) Discount rate - 3%
c) Economic Life - based on Energy Resilience and Conservation Investment Program
(ERCIP) criteria
d) Utility Unit Cost - based on current installation rates http://www.wbdg.org/
3.2.3 Corrective Actions Phase
This phase is for the contractor to accomplish and document the corrections to items as identified on the Issues Log that have been approved by the Contracting Officer. The basis for this phase of work is derived from the Issues Log deliverable from the Investigation Phase.
a) Typical corrective actions include (but are not limited to); coil cleaning, filter replacement, actuator linkage adjustments or replacements, belt replacements, thermostat calibration, replace frozen or inoperable dampers, reset and calibrate Variable Air Volume (VAV) boxes, adjust/replace frozen or inoperable valves, re-connect controls and wiring, calibration of line setter valves. See Appendix D for the Corrective Maintenance Item Listing (which is a list of anticipated corrective maintenance items typically seen on HVAC systems).
b) Examples of items which would be beyond the scope of this retro-commissioning contract, and not considered a corrective maintenance action are corrective items such as; complete
HVAC system renovation or replacement; replacement of major system equipment such as boilers, chillers, air handling units, condensing units, fan coils, heat exchangers, ductless split systems or heat pumps, hydronic pumps, and exhaust fans; replacement or rerouting of entire duct or piping sections. Identified items requiring correction, such as these larger type repairs, will be accomplished via a separate future contract action. These should also be on a separate log sheet, as noted in paragraph 3.2.2 d) above
c) The contractor will be responsible for obtaining all items and materials needed, labor required, tools, and equipment necessary to accomplish all of the approved minor corrective actions. Costs for travel will not be part of this cost; travel cost shall be listed separately and must be approved by the Contracting Officer.
d) Since the exact amount of items requiring correction will not be available at time of task order award, an Over and Above contract line item will be included to account for RCx minor corrective action items. Approval by the Contracting Officer is required prior to accomplishing any of the identified corrective action items.
3.2.4 Implementation Phase
During this phase, RCx actions are performed on the systems to bring them to optimal performance. Final functional testing is performed, Test, Adjust and Balance (TAB) is accomplished, and final data logging is performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the process.

3.3 Service Summary
The purpose of the service summary (SS) is to define performance evaluation by the government point of contact. The appointed Contract Officer Representative (COR) will serve as the government contact and conduct surveillance for each task order. The SS below lists the overarching SOW performance objective requirements to be performed by each individual task order. The absence of any SOW requirement from the SS does not detract from its enforceability nor limit the rights or remedies of the Government and sets forth the maximum allowable deviation from the standard of performance for that service. Contractor performance will be compared to the performance objectives and performance threshold, unless modified in individual task orders. The Government may use a variety of surveillance methods to evaluate the Contractor’s performance to determine if it meets the performance objectives and performance threshold. Performance of a service will be evaluated to determine whether or not it meets the performance objectives and performance threshold. The Government will evaluate the Contractor’s performance under this contract using “Inspection of Services” clause (52.246-
4 and others that apply). All surveillance observations will be recorded by the COR.
