About this file

This is a Project Manual (Volume 2 of 2) for a construction project managed by the Iowa Department of Administrative Services for a new Central Office Building located at 818 S 10th Street, Council Bluffs, Iowa 51501. The project, designated RFB 948800-01 with Project Number 9488.00, involves the construction of approximately 14,136 square feet of new office space across two stories, including forty offices, breakrooms, restrooms, conference rooms, mechanical space, and lobby areas. The manual encompasses Division 23 through Division 31 specifications, including comprehensive HVAC systems, electrical, plumbing, fire suppression, communications, security systems, and earthwork requirements. The Architect is Savage-Ver Ploeg & Associates (Project 25079), and the Construction Manager is Samuels Group (Project 7813). The project manual specifies detailed requirements for mechanical systems including heating, ventilation, air conditioning, motors, vibration controls, duct insulation, instrumentation and controls, building management systems, and equipment testing and balancing procedures dated April 21, 2026.

The specifications require a Building Management Control System utilizing BACnet protocol with distributed processing capabilities, Enterprise Servers, Administration and Programming Workstations, and Web-based Operator Workstations to control all HVAC and mechanical systems. The BMCS contractor must be factory-certified for a minimum of five years with a full-service facility within 100 miles of the project and 24/7 emergency service capability. All control systems must comply with ASHRAE Standard 135-2004 for BACnet functionality and support multi-vendor environments with LonTalk and Modbus protocols. Testing, adjusting, and balancing of all HVAC systems must be performed by certified TAB agencies (AABC, NEBB, or TABB certified) prior to substantial completion, with comprehensive documentation and operator training required. The project includes a two-year maintenance service period following substantial completion with minimum quarterly inspections and warranty coverage for all installed components and systems.
