Project Synopsis:

EXISTING CONDITIONS AND SCOPE OF PROJECT:

Work in this project will involve buildings 7223, 7232 and 7233. Buildings 7232 and 7233 are each approximately 30,000 sq. ft., three-story in height and located in the central area of the base. Formerly serving as barracks, both buildings are currently utilized primarily as administrative offices for the Mission Support Squadron. Building 7232 houses the education office and has a series of classrooms for satellite college courses.

Building 7223 is called the central plant and is approximately 1,000 sq. ft. and single story. It houses the chilled and heating water systems that serve buildings 7232 and 7233.

The existing HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system for each of buildings 7232 and 7233 consists of a two-pipe system with each room served by one or more vertical stack type fan coil units fed by vertical pipe risers. The HVAC systems were constructed during total renovations in 1992 for building 7232 and 1989 for building 7233. The existing chilled water system is served by the central plant building (7223). The existing heating water system is served by a gas-fired hot water boiler located inside the central plant building. Chilled/heating water is pumped from the central plant building in piping below ground to buildings 7232 and 7233. The existing two-pipe system is unable to provide simultaneous heating and cooling on demand. The heating water system operates during the colder months and the chilled water system operates during the warmer months. With this system, it is not possible to maintain comfortable room temperatures during the seasonal transition seasons of spring and fall when outside temperatures can vary between extremes.

The scope of this construction project is to accomplish the following:

A. Replacement/addition/modification of the existing two-pipe HVAC system for buildings 7232 and 7233 with a new four-pipe system. This will include providing new fan coil units in both buildings, new piping throughout, underground chilled water lines, and chilled water pump in the central plant building.

B. Coordinate contractor-provided DDC controls for implementation with new

HVAC system.

C. Contractor shall review the government provided asbestos survey of all areas affected by the proposed work. Provide abatement where removal of asbestos containing materials is required to facilitate new construction. Refer to plans and specifications.

D. Incorporation of detailed phasing to maintain operation of the facilities during the work of this project.

E. Refer to Plans & Specifications for work to be performed.
