The scope of the project consists of the Base Bid to replace the existing pneumatic control system in the Greenhouse and Headhouse with Conviron Argus Titan control panels. There are up to three Argus Titan control panels that will be re-used as the basis of this upgrade. Additional Argus system components will need to be added (Access Point, software, weather station, additional I/O devices as needed). The newly installed Argus Titan system shall control the side vents, roof vents (north and south), radiant heat, hanging unit heaters, exhaust fans and lighting for each bay individually. Each bay shall have separate temperature control. Each bay will modulate the temperature and venting based on the weather station inputs. Ridge vents are operated independently in a north or south configuration. Side vent is independent and operates by weather station inputs. Exhaust fans shall operate in a staged/lead lag/both operation depending on inputs. Lighting in the bays shall be 3 circuits. The Argus system shall also control the radiant and unit heaters in the headhouse, office and the headhouse exhaust fan using local thermostats. Where possible all I/O devices shall have manual on/off/auto, as the existing Argus panels demonstrate. In addition, all control valves and actuators that are pneumatically controlled will be replaced with DDC controlled valves and actuators. Pneumatic thermostats shall be replaced with DDC thermostats. Each bay of the greenhouse has (1) side vent, (1) south facing roof vent, (1) north facing roof vent which will need DDC controllers. The existing pneumatic control system shall be demolished in its entirety. Current heating controls are provided by Johnson Controls, lighting controls by Lutron and venting by Micro-grow. Some of the existing conduits may be used.

The new Argus control system shall be fully programmed and include all wiring and conduit, actuators, valves, thermostats, lighting interface to provide a complete and useable system. The re-used I/O devices shall be relabeled to indicate their new function. The contractor shall perform a Test & Balance evaluation to ensure the hot water heating system meets performance standards, the lighting and ventilation systems operate as intended.

Option Bid One (01) will the replacement of the three Modine unit heaters in the Headhouse as well as the office and east and west cabinet heaters.

mailto:michelle.graham@usda.gov mailto:patrick.quance@usda.gov

Option Bid Two (02) will be the replacement of the Modine unit heaters in all four greenhouse bays.

Option Bid Three (03) will be the replacement of the baseboard heaters in the greenhouse bays.

The contractor is highly encouraged to visit the site and validate all existing systems and components.

There are four bays. Two bays have six (6) each 96-inch radiant heaters and two bays have six (6) each 72-inch radiant heaters. The radiant heaters were manufactured by Sterling Radiator Company Inc. They are still in business and their radiant heaters provide the basis of design for the replacement radiant heaters.

Each of the four bays have two (2) IS 280 Modine Heating Units. Modine is still in business and their unit provides the basis of design for replacement of the existing heating units.

Existing valves, actuators, heating units, radiant heaters, pipes and insulation provide the basis of design for this work.

• The facility is approximately 9,400sf and is located on the campus of Iowa

State University. The Greenhouse section is 3,400sf which has been sub-divided into four sections of 850sf each and is identified as GH 16, 17, 18 and 19. The headhouse and connecting link between the structures comprises the remaining 6,000sf. The building was constructed in 1976, and was designed by Brooks Borg and Skiles of Des Moines, Iowa. The headhouse is a pre-engineered metal building with metal siding and low height brick wainscot on the west façade, an alley between the headhouse and greenhouse is of similar construction. The greenhouse is an aluminum prefabricated unit sitting on reinforced CMU knee walls.

• The specified project activities and components shall be performed in a neat, workmanlike manner and shall be sequenced to minimize the downtime of the greenhouse.
