About this file
This file comprises a cooling tower specifications and instructions package prepared by Baltimore Aircoil Company for the City of Pembroke Pines' Academic Village Cooling Tower Replacement Project, along with standard specification sections for procurement. The project involves the demolition and installation of a new Series 3000 cooling tower (Model S3E-1222-06N-2/S) at the Pembroke Pines Charter School Academic Village Campus located at 8300 South Palm Road in Pembroke Pines, Florida. The cooling tower is designed with a requested capacity of 12,245.10 MBH and maximum capacity of 13,440.39 MBH, featuring two 25.0 HP fan motors operating on 230/460V, 3-phase, 60 Hz power, with a water flow rate of 1,750 gpm, entering water temperature of 99°F, and leaving water temperature of 85°F. The equipment specifications document (BAC Quote Number 90609, Revision 2, dated March 4, 2025) provides detailed technical data, mechanical specifications, sound ratings, warranty information, and submittal drawings. The City of Pembroke Pines issued Invitation for Bids (IFB) #PSPW-25-10 requiring contractors to furnish all labor, equipment, and materials with a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for July 24, 2025, at 10:00 am, questions due by July 28, 2025, and bid submissions due by August 12, 2025, at 2:00 pm. The project completion timeline is 75 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with an estimated project cost of approximately $448,000.
The project is funded through the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Grant Program (EECG). Bidders must be licensed general contractors with a minimum of five years of experience and shall provide proposal security of $10,000 or 5% of the total cumulative base amount. Payment and performance bonds are mandatory for contracts exceeding $200,000. The cooling tower unit features Type 304 stainless steel construction for the cold water basin and structural components, fiberglass-reinforced polyester (FRP) casing panels, PVC fill and drift eliminators suitable for entering water temperatures up to 130°F, and a BALTIDRIVE power train fan drive system with belt-driven motors. The equipment is ISO 9001 compliant with CTI-certified thermal performance and includes various optional accessories such as vibration cutout switches, internal walkways, electric immersion heaters, and sound attenuation systems. Standard warranty coverage includes twelve months from equipment startup or eighteen months from shipment (whichever occurs first), with extended five-year warranties on fans, fan shafts, bearings, sheaves, and mechanical equipment support. Contractors must obtain comprehensive insurance coverage including general liability, workers' compensation, and auto liability with the City of Pembroke Pines named as additional insured, and comply with non-discrimination provisions and background checks for school access. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the procurement documentation.

Mechanical Specifications
Unit Type Induced Draft, Crossflow Cooling Tower
Factory fabricated, induced draft, crossflow cooling tower with vertical discharge.
Quality Assurance Quality Assurance - ISO 9001 Compliant
Each unit is manufactured under closely-controlled conditions using standardized parts to ensure each unit is built precisely to the same high-quality design and construction standards. The design, manufacture, and business processes of Baltimore Aircoil Company are ISO 9001 compliant.
CTI Certification CTI Certified Thermal Performance
The thermal performance of this BAC unit has been certified through performance tests conducted by the Cooling Technology Institute in accordance with their standard STD-201 RS. Your equipment may be selected for factory-testing to verify CTI certified performance. Such certification by an independent third party assures engineers and users that the published thermal capacities accurately reflect the actual unit performance. CTI certification eliminates the additional costs of on-site, individual unit testing, oversizing the equipment or operating cost penalties from deficient equipment.
Materials of Construction JE PREMIER SERIES Construction
All structural steel components are constructed from Type 304 stainless steel. All factory seams in the cold water basin will be welded to ensure watertight construction and shall be warranted against leaks for a period of five (5) years from date of shipment. Cold water basin includes a depressed section with drain/clean-out connection and the area under the fill sections is sloped toward the depressed section for easy cleaning. Hot water distribution basins are gravity type constructed of heavy gauge, Type 304 stainless steel. Polypropylene metering orifices are provided to assure even distribution of water over the wet deck surface. Heavy gauge, Type 304 stainless steel covers are furnished to prevent the accumulation of debris and algae in the hot water distribution basins.
Fan & Drive System Standard Fan Driven by BALTIDRIVE® Power Train
The fan is driven by a one-piece multi-groove, neoprene/polyester belt designed specifically for evaporative cooling equipment service. Motor is mounted on an adjustable motor base. Fan and motor sheaves are non-corrosive cast aluminum. The BALTIDRIVE® Power Train fan drive system, including fan motor, is warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for five (5) years from date of shipment. Fan and steel fan shaft are supported by heavy-duty, self-aligning, grease-packed, relubricatable ball bearings with special seals for protection against dust and moisture. All bearings are designed for minimum L10 life of 80,000 hours (280,000 hours average life).
Fan Guard Stainless Steel Fan Guard
A heavy gauge Type 304 stainless steel wire fan guard is provided over the fan cylinder.

Casing Panels Fiberglass Reinforced Polyester (FRP) Casing Panels
Casing panels are constructed of fiberglass-reinforced polyester (FRP), UV Protected panels. Hinged access doors are provided on both side walls of the tower for access to eliminators and fan plenum section for all cells. The doors are made of a steel frame matching the unit construction, with an exterior overlay of FRP.
Inlet Louvers FRP Air Inlet Louvers
Air inlet louvers are wave-formed, fiberglass-reinforced polyester (FRP), spaced to minimize air resistance and prevent water splash-out.
Fill PVC Fill & Drift Eliminators
The BACross® Fill and integral drift eliminators are formed from self-extinguishing (per ASTM D-568) polyvinyl chloride (PVC), having a flame spread rating of 5 per ASTM Standard E84-77a, and are impervious to rot, decay, and fungus or biological attack. The fill is elevated above the cold water basin floor to facilitate cleaning. This fill is suitable for a maximum entering water temperature of 130°F (54.44°C). The eliminators are designed to effectively strip entrained moisture from the leaving airstream with a minimum of air resistance.
Equipment Structure Upgraded Structure Designed in accordance with the IBC and ASCE/SEI 7
The upgraded structure of this product has been designed and analyzed in accordance with the wind and seismic load requirements of the 2006 IBC, 2009 IBC, 2012 IBC, 2015 IBC, ASCE/SEI 7-05, and ASCE/SEI 7-10. Seismic qualification is based on analysis. For more information and specific wind and seismic load capacity ratings, please see the Certificate of Wind and Seismic Load Capacity.
Water Inlet(s) End Inlet EASY CONNECT® Piping Arrangement
Inlet water enters the EASY CONNECT® Piping Arrangement located on the end of the cell(s). Please see the submittal package for the connection type, size and location. The EASY CONNECT® Piping Arrangement balances the flow to each side of the tower and includes a plugged blow-down connection to permit purging of dirt and debris. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) piping connects EASY CONNECT® Piping Arrangement Chamber to the hot water distribution basins.
Water Outlet(s) End Outlet Pump Suction Connection
A pipe stub connection(s) of a metal compatible with the cold water basin material and appropriately sized for design flow is provided. Please see the submittal package for the connection type, size and location.
