C--Architect-Engineering (A-E) Services Replace Air Handling Unit (AHU) 3

The scope of this project calls for a thorough, detailed feasibility study containing the following three main elements: A. Conduct a feasibility study which contains the following requirements: 1) Review existing HVAC Feasibly Study entitled Malcom Randall VA Medical Center, Gainesville, Florida VA Project Number 573-05-115 2) Calculate generalized heating, cooling and ventilating loads for the building spaces served by AC-2 and AC-3. 3) Conduct pre-design test and balance (TAB) on air side and water side of both units to determine current operating parameters. 4) Examine the condition of both systems. 5) Identify and evaluate alternatives for the replacement of both systems. B. Complete a schematic level design for feasible alternatives. The schematic design shall contain the following minimum requirements: 1) Complete architectural demolition reflected ceiling plans. 2) Complete HVAC demolition plans. 3) Complete electrical demolition plans. 4) Structural calculations. 5) Schematic design for all applicable disciplines. 6) Phasing plan for the replacement work. 7) Cost estimates for all disciplines. 8) List of specifications. C. Provide complete schematic level design for interim HVAC services for the areas served by AC-2 to be used to implement temporary heating, cooling and ventilation in the event that AC-2 fails prior to its replacement. This requirement was later changed to providing contract documents for the repair of the supply fan for AC-2. Those documents were provided to the VA under separate cover on January 8, 2016. At the time of this report the replacement of the supply fan has not taken place.
