The scope of work will also include the demolition and removal of the existing chiller, providing and installing new DDC system for the TIAC building HVAC systems (air and water as described on drawings) and subsequently integrating the new TIAC DDC controls with the CRREL campus central DDC system. The contractor will provide new variable air volume (VAV) box controllers and thermostats for all VAV boxes in the building and connect to the new DDC system. The contractor shall also install new controllers, valves, actuators, and instrumentation for the existing air handlers AHU-1 and AHU-2, replace the 3-way hot water control valve at the boiler and connect to the new DDC system. The contractor shall provide for architectural, structural, and electrical modifications to the building as necessary to perform the work and patch and repair all roof, wall, and ceiling surfaces/structures affected by the work of this project.
