About this file

This attachment is a preventative maintenance task list for an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) for HVAC system maintenance at the Northwest Office Building in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The scope of work encompasses comprehensive preventative maintenance and inspection services for multiple HVAC system components, including low-pressure centrifugal chillers, water pumps, centrifugal and axial fan ejector cooling towers, Data Aire equipment, air handlers, and chilled water makeup loop backflow preventers. The contractor must provide unit inspections, preventative maintenance, filter service, and corrective service as requested by the PLCB. Maintenance activities are categorized into three seasonal schedules: cooling season start-up preparation and inspection (typically March-April), operating season monthly inspections, and annual equipment shutdown inspection and preventative maintenance (typically October-December, with winter shutdown generally occurring November-March). All inspections must be scheduled in advance, with service dates determined by building needs and outside temperatures as decided by the PLCB.

The task list specifies detailed maintenance procedures for each equipment category, including refrigerant and oil level checks, control system testing, mechanical inspections, component cleaning, and repair documentation. For the centrifugal chiller system, annual shutdown services include compressor-motor assembly inspection, oil system maintenance with independent laboratory analysis, motor starter diagnostics, control panel review, purge unit servicing, condenser and cooler inspection, and system-wide leak checks with refrigerant additions up to 10 percent maximum included. Similar comprehensive maintenance protocols are outlined for pumps, cooling towers, Data Aire units, and air handlers. The contractor is responsible for scheduling inspections in advance, consulting with operators, reporting deficiencies and required repairs, cleaning equipment and surrounding areas upon work completion, and maintaining detailed operating logs and records throughout the service period.
