SUMMARY OF WORK

1 PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 Project Location

The Facility is located at

U.S. Coast Guard Station Jones Beach 1 West End Boat Basin Freeport, (Long Island, Nassau County), New York 11520

1.2 SITE POINT OF CONTACT

For the purposes of arranging a site visit, the Site Point of Contact is:

MKC Patrick Cohan Engineering Petty Officer U.S. Coast Guard Station Fire Island

(516) 785-2995

1.3 FACILITY DESCRIPTION

The Multi-Mission Building is a 9,648 Sq. ft. single story, slab on grade building constructed in 1988. Commercial construction building methods and materials used include masonry and Concrete Masonry Units for vertical support members, structural wood trusses for roof framing, and brick veneer at exterior walls.

The original primary HVAC systems for the building included through-wall Water Source Heat Pump PTAC units, supported by a cooling tower and boilers, along with AHUs for outside air for occupied areas and a makeup air handling unit for the Galley exhaust hood. PTACs were removed and replaced with a Variable Air Volume system supplemented by baseboard radiation by CEU Providence in 2003. The primary system components include 21 Variable Air Volume Air Terminal Units with onboard controllers (‘VAV boxes) and no reheat coils, 21 ton dual compressor Outside Air Cooled Condensing Unit, 7200 CFM York “Solution” Built-up, draw through Air handling unit equipped with a pre-heat coil and DX cooling coil, Outside and Return Air dampers, and a Variable Speed drive that adjusts Supply Air Fan speed based on input from 3 Duct Static Pressure sensors. The reverse return Heat Pump Water

Page 2/13 loop was re-purposed to serve baseboard radiation (~ 31 settings) in the areas where the original through-wall WSHPs were installed. Thermostats are connected to a controller on each VAV box, which are designed to sequence the VAV Damper and radiation control valve serving the control zone.

In the summer of 2008, another project was completed to correct HVAC Equipment (including a replacement heating coil and control valve), balancing, and control issues.

In 2011, wiring at the VAV boxes (including lack of covers on junction boxes) was corrected. During field work for this project, excessive Supply Air duct leakage in the attic areas was observed.

1.4 CURRENT CONDITIONS – MMB HVAC SYSTEMS

1.4.1 AHU-1. Outside Air damper is rusted and difficult to move.

CG Health, Safety and Work-Life (HSWL) has noted poor indoor air quality since, at one point, the unit was not admitting outside air into the building, resulting in excessive CO2 levels. Outside and return air dampers are manually set in position. Combined with a control system that is no longer fully functioning as designed/programmed, this results in low supply air temperatures. Radiation in spaces served by VAV boxes (that are not equipped with reheat coils) cannot keep up with heating requirements imposed by the low SA temperatures (and faulty control valves) result in the use of electric space heaters for occupant comfort.

A relief air vent through the roof is in place above the ductwork for the AHU-1 return air system, but is not connected to the same.

1.4.2 HV-3. Heating & Ventilating Unit HV-3 provides make-up air to replace air removed from the galley Hood exhaust fan.

The unit supplies a trunk duct that is designed to deliver 800 CFM directly to the hood, with 650 CFM heated by a duct coil that serves the general galley and mess deck areas.

The outside air damper for this unit is rusted with an ineffective damper operator. Faulty operation of the Make-up air system (and possibly poor design) has resulted in frozen piping in the area on at least 2 occasions in the past several years, and caused uncomfortable cooking condition in the galley (Food Service staff wearing coats.)

1.4.3 Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) System. The ATC system is used to monitor and/or control alL of the equipment installed in the 2003 HVAC project, including VAV boxes, boilers, and AHU-1. The Operator Work Station (OWS)

Page 3/13 consists of a PC tower located in the mechanical room with a flat screen monitor. Operation and reliability of the Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) system is erratic, and can only be effectively serviced by York/JCI technicians (Johnson Controls/York, 6A Aerial Way, Syosset, NY 11791, Ms. Amanda Sargent, (516) 937-2340, Amanda.Sargent@jci.com). Its effective use is further compromised by broken or damaged terminal control devices.

The system in its present state includes a Graphical User Interface with screens for the heating plant and AHU-1 with real time values indicated for set points and current state. However, a “Hard Drive failure imminent” message was reported by the Station personnel as an error message.

VAV Boxes are not equipped with reheat coils, and are Envirotec SDR series, equipped with York CX-VAV controllers (ISNConneXsys family). Several representative VAV box photos are included in the Reference Materials, and document CX-VAV part no. 371-04474-001.

1.5 SUMMARY OF WORK

The USCG is planning to execute a project to replace the entire HVAC plant in the next 18 months, however, until this project is complete, the CG desires to correct conditions that affect occupant comfort in areas most commonly used by the crew for eating, sleeping and office/USCG operations purposes.

The following establishes the minimum Scope of Work:

1.5.1 AHU-1.

1. Replace Outside and Return dampers and damper operators with low leakage, quick response (less than 60 second stroke period) dampers and damper operators.

1.5.2 HV-3

1. Replace Outside Air damper and damper operator with low leakage, quick response (less than 60 second stroke period) damper and 2 position damper operator. Damper shall fail closed.

2. Replace control valve for duct mounted heating coil with modulating type, temperature sensor to control same, and Freezestat, all as required to achieve control sequence below. Control valve shall fail with flow through coil.

3. If not corrected by the above actions, identify the cause of frozen piping and recommend one or more methods to prevent future occurrences.

Page 4/13

4. Verify that HV-3, EF-16, and Duct Coil HC-1 (downstream of HV-3) operate in accordance with the following control sequence:

EF-16 and HV-3 shall be interlocked for simultaneous operation. When outside air temperature is less then 60ºF (adjustable), the two way control valve shall modulate to maintain 75ºF (adj.) downstream of HC-1.

Freezestat with serpentine sensor strung on the discharge face of HC-1 and set at 37ºF shall prevent HV-3 from operating, set Normally Open coil valve open and fully close the Normally Closed Outside Air damper.

1.5.3 Troubleshoot and Repair ATC Operator Work Station.

1. Update Operating System of existing York ISN ATC System.

Verify programming is correct; make necessary adjustments. Noting that the Station Jones Beach Engineering Officer reports that “:Hard Drive Failure Imminent” was displayed as an error message, work includes replacement of existing Hard drive in OWS computer, and any data/programming migration required to restore system operation.

2. Verify proper Operation of AHU-1 Heating Coil Control valve.

3. Restore Sequences of Operation for AHU-1, associated ACCU-1, VFD, and VAV boxes to approximate the specified Sequences of Operation, per Record Drawing M-7 of PSN 01- P9454. Demonstrate operation of 100% outside air delivery to Supply air system with all VAV boxes open 100%, and record Supply Air, Return Air, and VAV box CFM to each zone served.

4. Assume the replacement of (3) Duct Static pressure sensors in ductwork accessible in the attic areas of the

MMB.

5. Relocate the existing Operator Work Station (OWS) from the MMB boiler room into nearby Training Space (Rm 115).

Provide cabling, conduit, and penetrations through wall and ceiling assemblies as required. Seal all penetrations as required for 2 hour fire rated assemblies, using intumescent fire sealant.

6. Provide brief summary of actual repairs and programming completed, including Graphical User Interface printscreens of major systems (e.g., Heating Plant, Cooling plant) as closeout materials.

7. OWS Troubleshooting and programming shall be accomplished by a Johnson Controls/York HVAC controls technician.

1.5.4 Testing, Adjusting & Balancing (TAB)

Page 5/13

1. Adjust supply and return CFM volumes of AHU-1 and VAV system, including VAV boxes, and supply and return diffusers.

2. Galley Make-Up and Exhaust Air. Adjust supply volumes to areas served by HV-3, including galley exhaust hood, and supply air diffusers; balance heating hot water flow through heating coil supplied by HV-3 to originally specified flow rate; adjust exhaust air volume of Galley Exhaust Fan EF-16. Nominal Supply and exhaust volumes are 2,000 CFM. Balance HV-3 and EF-16 to result in a slight negative pressure in the galley/mess deck area relative to adjacent spaces. (Refer to sheet M-7 sheet 41 of 55 of original construction for originally specified equipment performance and flow rates.)

3. Provide a TAB report based on field work and report preparation by NEBB or AABC-certified TAB professional.

TAB efforts conducted and Report submitted shall be prepared in a report format, and with information consistent with and/required by the certifying organization.
