PROJECT NO: KABD250001 - REPLACE AC SYSTEMS, B501

This project requires all labor, tools, equipment, transportation, and supervision, as required for the project elements as described for the following work:

Scope of Work: Remove one (1) existing Carrier Air-Cooled Liquid Chiller (CH, Model – 30RAP Size 040) serving Building 501 and replace it with one (1) new 40 Nominal Ton Air-Cooled Chiller.

The new CH shall have at least identical specifications, quality, and standards; thus, it shall be compatible (or minor changes/improvements needed) with the current duct configuration and capable of being integrated with the existing control systems. Further, the CH system has two (2) close-coupled centrifugal chilled water pump and motor assemblies (WEG NEMA PREMIUM CC029A 7.5 HP) that also need replacement. Isolation valves are in poor condition and will need to be replaced as well.

B501 has an outdoor 40 Nominal Ton CH placed on roof on the southeast portion of the facility. The existing CH has the characteristics below:

The Contractor shall replace the existing CH with a new 40 Nominal Ton Air-Cooled Chiller. Ensure proper connection of the new chiller unit to the existing HVAC duct system and correct communication/integration with the existing digital control system and its elements. If Contractor offers manufacturer Carrier as the new replacement 40 Nominal Ton Air-Cooled Chiller, Carrier’s new model to replace the existing CH is 30RC-040. The new Carrier model uses R-32;

thus, the Contractor shall be licensed/certified as a mechanical Contractor due to the Class A2L slightly flammable refrigerant. Further, if the chosen model is the 30RC-040, the Contractor shall ensure that the new unit has installed an automatic air separator with a vent at the highest point relative to the outlet of the heat exchanger.

Carrier personnel explained: “The additional air-water separator on the chilled water supply (between the chiller and the building) is mandated by the Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) as a safety requirement when used with the Class A2L slightly flammable refrigerant. I am saying “additional” as usually existing chilled water systems already have an air-water separator installed on the chilled water return piping before it enters the pumps/chiller. This is why the sample piping diagram I sent shows two (2) air-water separators.”

The Contractor shall safely shut down the chiller and recover the existing refrigerant if needed. If the refrigerant cannot be reused, the Contractor shall dispose of it following the current rules and regulations. After installation, the Contractor shall pressure test and leak check all affected areas before evacuating the system and breaking the vacuum with recovered refrigerant. Also, the Contractor shall develop an installation plan to include a schedule. If the Contractor plans to use a crane, the Contractor shall submit a Lift Plan to the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall provide a recommended schedule based on the necessary preventive maintenance requirements and provide training for users and O&M Manuals. Further, the Contractor shall furnish and replace the existing close-coupled centrifugal chilled water pumps and motors. If R-32 is used, the Contractor shall follow all manufacturer recommendations and install (if needed) an air-water separator on the chilled water supply. Replace isolation valves in chilled water system.
