Project Overview and Background

Spur Design is providing professional A/E services to design an expedited, compliant, and complete construction and activation of a new Electronic Health Record Modernization

(EHRM) system at the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center – West Campus, Chicago, IL. The scope includes, but is not limited to, the following infrastructure improvements: electrical (normal and emergency power distribution panel upgrades and receptacles), grounding-bonding, UPS, building management system interfaces, assess for new and upgrades to existing HVAC, reconfiguration, expansion, and renovation of existing space, physical security upgrades, upgrading the facilities fiber throughout the buildings to each IT closet, provide a redundant fiber run throughout the facility to each IT closet, upgrade fiber infrastructure backbone campus-wide within buildings and between buildings, install diversified path to datacenter for WAN, provide a new main fiber line coming into the building from the provider point, redundant fiber upgrades between the West and East Campuses, and replace or upgrade communication infrastructure (new data outlets, patch panels, and upgrade to Cat 6A cable) throughout all buildings. Patch, repair and paint existing rooms no longer going to function as TR rooms and provide new storage lockset door hardware to match rest of facility.

There are 98 tele-data rooms throughout the West Campus located in Buildings 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 32, 36, 37, 46, 48, 66, 92, 131, 133, 133EF, 133CA, 134, 135, 138, 140, 187, 188, 195, 201, 202, 205, 206, Green Bay Road Guard Shack, Lewis Guard Shack, and Tramway.

A total of 3 site visits have been conducted to visually inspect all existing TR spaces and approved TR locations. Items that were looked at were:

• Existing Room Names and Numbers to ensure our existing plans were true to what was currently on site.

• Existing floor areas served by each TR room.

• Existing building functions and departments surrounding each TR room.

• Number of existing racks currently in each TR room.

• Existing telecommunication cabling types.

• Verification of adjacent spaces to ensure that the required TR expansions would be able to be accommodated within that space.

• Existing room dimensions to ensure our as-builts were accurate in size and location

• Existing electrical outlet layouts in each TR room.

• Existing Data drop locations for all buildings within scope.

Waivers were submitted to DCIE as well as multiple meeting to discuss rooms with issues.

Multiple waivers were approved, however items not approved at 95% resubmittal were addressed with an exception letter detailing plan of action. See attached Approval Schedule

The VA has a separate contract to update PACS, cameras, and other sensors inside the TR rooms. Those items are shown on our drawings for compliance but will be installed by a different contractor. VA is responsible to make sure they meet full requirements at the time of installation. We are replacing the door and frame assembly to account for the continuous hinge requirement as part of this contract.

SUBJECT HVAC Narrative

HVAC 1

HEATING, VENTILATING AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC)

1. GENERAL

A. Spur Design is providing professional A/E services to design an expedited, compliant, and complete construction and activation of a new Electronic Health Record

Modernization (EHRM) system at the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care

Center – West Campus, Chicago, IL. The project scope consists of design upgrades to the facilities’ electrical and IT infrastructure to allow for the new Electronic Health

Record Modernization (EHRM) System. The mechanical design work encompasses the addition of new HVAC equipment or upgrades to existing HVAC equipment serving new or relocated Telecommunications Rooms. The existing HVAC equipment serving

TR’s that are to remain were evaluated to determine if the equipment meets the EHRM requirements.

There are approximately 90 tele-data rooms in-scope throughout the West Campus located in Buildings 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 11, 32, 36, 37, 46, 66, 92, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 138, 140, 187, 188, 195, 201, 202, 205, and 206.

New Telecom rooms with telecom racks installed will have two indoor units working together, served by a common condensing unit based on direction from VA Data

Center and Infrastructure Engineering (DCIE). Condensing units were located on a case-by-case basis, with some being on rooftops, and some being located on the ground. Rooms with telecom enclosures were assessed on a case-by-case basis.

New HVAC systems to be installed for those spaces will be a single indoor unit served by its own condensing unit.

B. Existing Systems Description and extent of renovation:

1. Refer to drawings.

C. New System Description

1. Telecommunication Rooms

a) Basis of Design – Variable Refrigerant Flow DX heat pump system with ductless wall mounted indoor units. Indoor units will be served by associated outdoor condensing units. Condensing units will be roof mounted when necessary. Each TR room will have two indoor units working in tandem.

556-21-701 (Spur 2113) North Chicago EHRM- West Campus

HVAC 2

b) Units have been sized to account for the heat gain from the telecom racks (1 rack = 5kw, 2 = 7kw, 3 = 8.5kw, 4 =10kw), lighting load, heat load from walls/roofs/windows/etc., and electrical panels throughout the room. In rooms with telecom racks, two indoor units are used to prevent short cycling. The DX split unit sizing has taken derating due to the length of the piping run into account. New units will be tied to the existing BAS system.

Secondary drip trays are being installed underneath all existing to remain mechanical piping, and new refrigerant piping being installed in the rooms.

The purpose of these drip trays is to protect the racks and various electrical equipment in the room. These drip trays will be drained by new condensate lines, with new float switches that are tied to the BAS monitoring the fill levels within each room. The condensate lines will be routed to the nearest mop sink, floor drain, or outside to a condensate pit.

3. ELECTRICAL DEMOLITION

Demolition of electrical work will include:

A. Removal of all existing rack-mounted UPS’s in the TR’s.

B. Removal of all existing rack-mounted receptacles in the TR’s, including all conduit and conductors.

C. Receptacles located in each server room will be analyzed to confirm they are on the proper branch of the EES. Any outdated, hazardous, or improper receptacles will be demolished, or new conductors will be provided from the critical branch of the EES.

D. Each TR’s lighting will be analyzed to ensure it is meeting the current VA design manuals. If non-compliant, light fixtures will be demolished and replaced with new.

4. SITE POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS

A. Modifications to the campus’ underground emergency distribution system is expected for the following buildings:

1. Between generator building 156 and building 1.

2. Between generator building 155 and building 66.

3. Between generator building 151 and building 131.

B. Modifications include demolition of the existing underground conduit and feeder conductors. Each will be replaced with new concrete-encased duct banks as required to upsize the existing building feeds.

5. BUILDING POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS

A. The existing buildings throughout campus are fed from multiple exterior, pad-mounted, medium-voltage transformers of various sizes. The medium-voltage transformers then step-down to feed low-voltage distribution equipment. Modifications to the existing 480Y/277V and 208Y/120V are expected as part of this project.

1. A load analysis for each of the TR’s was completed between October 4-7, 2021.

The results of this load analysis determined the loading requirements for each TR.

The results of this study can be found in Appendix B: Electrical Analysis. The following option has been recommended as the best path moving forward.

a) Utilize the information gathered while on site and include additional safety factors for future growth. Provide UPS’s and additional electrical equipment that is sized based off of this analysis. Equipment in each TR will meet the latest VA OIT Design Manual, however, the upstream equipment will not be modified unless determined that future growth is unachievable with the current

556-21-701 (Spur 2113) North Chicago EHRM- West Campus

Electrical 3 configuration. This option does not meet all the current VA design guidelines, but it is fully sufficient to meet all the current EHRM requirements and provide sufficient capacity for the existing equipment. An addition 25% safety factor has also been applied to allow for additional equipment implementation in the future.

B. Many TR’s do not have power from the critical branch of the EES. In some cases, the TR’s are fed from the incorrect branch of the EES and a few do not have emergency power at all.

1. All TR’s will be modified to ensure critical power is being provided where critical power is available. This will include refeeding existing panelboards that are located within the TR’s, provided new branch circuits from existing critical branch panelboards located outside of the TR’s, or providing new panelboards that are fed from the upstream critical distribution panel.

C. The TR’s through-out the campus are not properly grounded. If a main ground bar is existing at the main electrical service of each building, then a new main telecommunications ground bar (MTGB) will be established for the main TR in each building. If a main building ground is not established at the main electrical service of any building, then a new earth ground will be established, tied to a new main electrical service ground, and then extended to establish a new MTGB for the main TR in that building. If TR’s do not have a copper ground bar, then they will be replaced. Refer to Appendix A for additional information.

6. RACK-MOUNTED UPS SYSTEM

A. A traditional rack-mounted UPS system is planned to be utilized for all of the TR’s.

This will include a rack-mounted zone power distribution unit (PDU) in each space and dedicated rack-mounted UPS’s for each rack.

1. Each zone PDU has two (2) inputs. Each input will require it’s own power source.

One side of the PDU will be powered by a critical power panelboard and the other from a normal power panelboard.

2. The size and location of the zone PDU is determined based off of the latest VA specifications. Each scenario can be seen in Appendix A.

B. In buildings with dedicated generator backup, each UPS will be sized to provide a minimum of 10-minute run-time for all connected loads in accordance with the latest VA Physical Security and Resiliency Design Manual.

C. In buildings without a dedicated generator, each UPS will be provided with additional battery modules to achieve a minimum of 1 hour worth of runtime.

7. BUILDING LIGHTING SYSTEMS

A. The lighting in each TR will be analyzed to ensure it is up to the latest VA standards. If the standards are not being met, then new lighting will be provided in the TR.
