- Description
- This project is to provide a programming and control system for the San Bernardino National Forest Supervisor’s Office to manage the Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) System loads when the Emergency Standby Generator is signaled to start during loss of utility company power. This is the only purpose for this programming/control system. Work also includes the installation and programming of a Carrier 'I-Vu' remote access software program that is compatible with existing Energy Management System program. The Vendor must design the load control system in accordance with the requirements herein, taking into consideration the operational needs of the Office and the technical requirements of the generator and load control system. It is the Vendors responsibility to provide the Contracting Officer’s Representative the specific Sequence of Operations detailing how each step of the process will work. The building’s HVAC is managed by Carrier controls. As such, the vendor must be on the Carrier Southern California Certification Roster for the level of work being described herein. The office building is a 55,000 square foot building, with the HVAC system consisting of the following major components: 4 Air Handling Units providing air supply to 4 distinct zones of the building utilizing supply and return fans on each unit 2 Water Chillers with isolation valves, programmed to handle the entire building load on a rotational basis, with 2 chilled water pumps assigned to each chiller. 2 Cooling Towers with isolation valves, programmed to handle the entire building load on a rotational basis, with a condensing water pump assigned to each cooling tower. 2 Cooling Tower Fans, one in each cooling tower. 2 Hot Water Boilers with isolation valves, programmed to handle the entire building load on a rotational basis, each with a condensing water pump. As built drawings are available. The load control system shall be powered at all times by a UPS 120 vac15 amp, to be supplied by the Government. The load control system must monitor inputs from the Programmable Logic Control and/or Generator to determine generator and building status and load. The load control system shall make all control decisions based on these inputs. The load control system will remain on standby and not operate until the requirements listed below are initiated. The specific equipment listed above will be operated by the load control system. All other HVAC related devices, such as damper actuators, valve actuators, economizers, and the like are to be considered negligible loads and allowed to function normally as the related equipment is brought on line. The sequence of operations shall be designed to accomplish the following objectives: 1. Prevent all HVAC equipment from restarting at initial loss of utility power. When the building load is transferred to the generator, the load control system will sequentially provide power to the equipment listed above, with sufficient delays to allow each piece of equipment to reach a stable state. 2. Insure that Air Handling Units are started in the following order, 1st floor west wing, then 2nd floor north wing, then 2nd floor west wing, and finally 1st floor north wing. 3. In the sequential process of initiating power to the major HVAC equipment, at no time shall the current exceed 600 amps. If a piece of essential equipment causes the current to exceed 600 amps, then a command must be initiated to shut down the air handling units in reverse order, starting with 1st floor, north wing. 4. If operational loads exceed 650 amps, a similar process in 3 above must be initiated. 5. When the load control system receives signal that building is off generator power, all HVAC equipment must be stopped by the load control system. In the event that utility power does not remain on then the load control center must restart the HVAC equipment, it will do so in the same sequence previously described. 6. When utility company power is restored, the load control system needs to be designed to shut down HVAC loads and transfer control of the equipment to the Energy Management System. The system also needs to be designed to return control to the load control center should utility power not be sustained for an appropriate default period, on the order of 3 minutes. 7. The remote access software program shall be programmed to monitor/operate the overall operation of HVAC system when operating on utility and/or generator power. Contactor shall also provide a minimum of three extended months of 'I-Vu' monitoring of Gen-set/PLC. Solicitation package will be available only on FEDBIZOPPS on or about January 6, 2009.
