Statement of Work Overton Brooks VAMC has a requirement to correct temperature and humidity excursions in Surgery’s sterile storage rooms due to inadequate Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) zone control.

Install VAV box to minimize the need to relocate elements above ceiling to accommodate new installation and relocate elements as needed. Ensure service clearance is provided for new install. Contractor is required to tie into existing heating hot water system and add new dedicated isolation valves for the reheat coil. As shown on drawings all control devices such as thermostat, three-way control valve, and damper control must be included. All piping and terminal units must be braced, insulated, and securely mounted. New VAV box system must be connected to the existing building automation system to allow remote monitoring and control from the boiler plant. Reuse existing supply registers, fire dampers and branch dampers as needed to facilitate this work.
