About this file

This document is a comprehensive Volume 3 specification volume for a Design-Bid-Build project for the Addition/Alteration of Building 600 for Flight Simulators at March Air Reserve Base, California. The specification details technical requirements for mechanical systems, with a focus on HVAC system cleaning, electrical heat tracing, seismic bracing, testing, adjusting, balancing, and thermal insulation for mechanical systems. The document provides extensive technical guidance for contractors, including detailed requirements for materials, installation methods, quality control, and performance standards across various mechanical system components.

The specification covers multiple technical divisions including mechanical, electrical, and insulation systems, with specific attention to installation procedures, material specifications, and quality assurance requirements. Key technical areas include HVAC system cleaning (Section 23 01 30.41), electrical heat tracing (Section 23 05 15), seismic bracing and supports (Section 23 05 48.19), testing and balancing procedures (Section 23 05 93), and thermal insulation for mechanical systems (Section 23 07 00). The document provides precise instructions for contractors on material selection, installation techniques, testing protocols, and compliance with industry standards and energy efficiency requirements, specifically referencing standards from ASHRAE, ASTM, and other technical organizations.

3.1 PREPARATION

3.1.1 HVAC System Inspections And Site Preparations

3.1.1.1 HVAC System Evaluation

Prior to the commencement of any cleaning work, perform a visual inspection of the HVAC system in the presence of the Contracting Officer to determine appropriate methods, tools, and equipment required to satisfactorily complete this project. Cleanliness inspection should include air handling units and representative areas of HVAC system components and ductwork. In HVAC systems that include multiple air handling units, a representative sample of units should be inspected.

Notify the Contracting Officer 10 days prior to the planned inspection.

As part of evaluation, record photographs and videos of each inspection location to document the "as found" condition prior to cleaning.

SECTION 23 01 30.41 Page 5

Document damaged system components found during the inspection and submit to the Contracting Officer, clearly labeled "Record of Existing Conditions."

3.1.1.2 Site Evaluation and Preparations

Conduct without negatively impacting indoor environment through excessive disruption of settled dust, microbial amplification or other debris. In cases where contamination is suspected, and/or in sensitive environments where even small amounts of contaminant may be of concern, implement environmental engineering control measures.

Conduct a site evaluation, and establish a specific, coordination plan which details how each area of the building is protected during the various phases of the project.

3.2 APPLICATION

3.2.1 General HVAC System Cleaning Requirements

3.2.1.1 Containment

Collect debris removed during cleaning and take precautions to ensure that debris is not otherwise dispersed outside the HVAC system during the cleaning process.

3.2.1.2 Particulate Collection

Where the Particulate Collection Equipment (PCE) is exhausting inside the building, use HEPA filtration with 99.97 percent collection efficiency for 0.3-micron size (or greater). When the PCE is exhausting outside the building, undertake mechanical cleaning operations only with PCE, including adequate filtration to contain debris removed from the HVAC system. When the PCE is exhausting outside the building, take precautions to locate the equipment down wind and away from all air intakes and other points of entry into the building.

3.2.1.3 Controlling Odors

Take all reasonable measures to control offensive odors and/or mist vapors during the cleaning process.

3.2.1.4 Component Cleaning

Employ cleaning methods such that all HVAC system components are Visibly Clean as defined in applicable standards. Upon completion, return all components to those settings recorded just prior to cleaning operations.

3.2.1.5 Air-Volume Control Devices

Mark the position of dampers and any air-directional mechanical devices inside the HVAC system prior to cleaning and, upon completion, restore to their marked position.

3.2.1.6 Service Openings

Utilize service openings, as required for proper cleaning, at various points of the HVAC system for physical and mechanical entry, and inspection. Utilize the existing service openings already installed in

SECTION 23 01 30.41 Page 6 the HVAC system where possible.

Create other openings where needed, created and resealed in conformance with NADCA Standard 05. Place closures so they do not significantly hinder, restrict, alter the air-flow within the system, or compromise the structural integrity of the system. Properly insulate closures to prevent heat loss/gain or condensation on surfaces within the system. Conform construction techniques used in the creation of openings to requirements of applicable building and fire codes, and applicable NFPA, SMACNA and NADCA Standards. Cutting service openings into flexible duct is not permitted. Disconnect flexible duct at the ends as needed for proper cleaning and inspection.

Reseal rigid fiber glass ductboard duct systems in accordance with NAIMA recommended practices; NAIMA AH112, NAIMA AH122, and NAIMA AH127. Only closure techniques which comply with UL 181 , UL 181A , or UL 181B are suitable for fiber glass duct system closures.

Provide access doors for openings that need to be re-opened for future inspection or remediation. Clearly mark all service openings, capable of being re-opened for future inspection or remediation, and report their location in project report documents.

3.2.1.7 Ceiling Sections (Tile)

Carefully remove and reinstall ceiling sections to gain access to HVAC systems during the cleaning process. Replace any damaged ceiling sections caused by the removal at no cost to the Government.

3.2.1.8 Air Distribution Devices (Registers, Grilles and Diffusers)

Clean all air distribution devices.

3.2.1.9 Duct Systems

a. Create service openings in the system as necessary in order to accommodate cleaning of otherwise inaccessible areas.

b. Mechanically clean all duct systems to remove all visible contaminants, such that the systems are capable of passing NADCA Cleaning Verification Testings Standards.

c. Any exposed edges in internal duct lining within duct, including but not limited to interfaces with externally insulated duct, must be fully protected, sealed and encapsulated to prevent future erosion.

3.2.2 Mechanical Cleaning Methodology

3.2.2.1 Source Removal Cleaning Methods

Clean the HVAC system using Source Removal mechanical cleaning methods designed to extract contaminants from within the HVAC system and safely remove contaminants from the facility. Select Source Removal methods which will render the HVAC System Visibly Clean and capable of passing NADCA cleaning verification methods Standards and other specified standards and tests, in accordance with all general requirements. Use no cleaning method, or combination of methods, which could potentially damage components of the HVAC system or negatively alter the integrity of the system.

SECTION 23 01 30.41 Page 7

Incorporate the use of vacuum collection devices that are operated continuously during cleaning for all methods used. Connect a vacuum device to the downstream end of the section being cleaned through a predetermined opening. Use a vacuum collection device of sufficient power to render all areas being cleaned under negative pressure, such that containment of debris and the protection of the indoor environment is assured.

Equip all vacuum devices exhausting air inside the building, including hand-held vacuums and wet-vacuums, with HEPA filters (minimum efficiency).

Equip all vacuum devices exhausting air outside the facility with Particulate Collection including adequate filtration to contain Debris removed from the HVAC system, in a manner that does not allow contaminants to re-enter the facility. Release of debris outdoors which violates any outdoor environmental standards, codes or regulations is not allowed.

All methods require mechanical agitation devices to dislodge debris adhered to interior HVAC system surfaces, such that debris may be safely conveyed to vacuum collection devices. Acceptable methods include those which will not potentially damage the integrity of the ductwork, nor damage porous surface materials such as liners inside the ductwork or system components.

3.2.2.2 Methods of Cleaning Fibrous Glass Insulated Components
