About this file
This federal solicitation is for the replacement of the HVAC system at Building 226 located at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. The project involves replacing the current variable refrigerant flow system with 4 pipe fan coil units served by boilers and a chiller. The dedicated outdoor air system will also be replaced and storage spaces will be converted to mechanical rooms. The attic floor structural framing will be strengthened to support the new DOAS unit. As Building 226 is part of the Fort Leavenworth National Historic Landmark District, the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties apply to this project. The solicitation was issued by the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Kansas City.

3.1.6.5.1.1 Checklist
The Functional Performance Test and Integrated Systems Test Checklists will guide the Functional Performance Tests and Integrated Systems Tests.
Functional Performance Tests must be performed for each item of equipment and each system required to be commissioned and verify all sensor calibrations, control responses, safeties, interlocks, operating modes, sequences of operation, capacities, lighting levels, and all other performance requirements comply with construction contract and accepted design requirements regardless of the specific items listed within the Functional Performance Test and Integrated Systems Test Checklists provided. Testing must progress from equipment or components to subsystems to systems to interlocks and connections between systems. Integrated Systems Tests must be performed for the interactive operation between systems such as HVAC systems, fire protection systems, back-up electrical supply, energy generation systems, and other systems, and verify correct interactive operation, acceptable speed of response, and other contract requirements for both normal and failure modes. Examples of Integrated Systems Tests include the correct operation of HVAC systems during emergency system activation, correct operation of uninterruptible power supplies or energy generators and connected systems, or lighting system operation during power outage or emergency system activation. The order of components and systems to be tested must be determined by the Technical Commissioning Specialists.

For systems tests with a sample size less than 100 percent, if one or more of the test procedures for an item of equipment or a system results in discovery of a deficiency, regardless of whether the deficiency is corrected during the sample tests, the item of equipment or system fails the test.
a. If the system failure rate is 5 percent or less, meaning that 5 percent or less of the equipment or systems had at least one deficiency, re-test only on the items which experienced the initial failures.
b. If the system failure rate is higher than 5 percent, meaning that more than 5 percent of equipment or systems tested had at least one deficiency, re-test the items which experienced the initial failures to the extent necessary to confirm that the deficiencies have been corrected . In addition, test another random sample of the same size as the initial sample for the first time. If the second random sample set has any failures, re-test those failed items and all remaining equipment and systems to complete 100 percent testing of that system type.
