• Nominal cooling capacity: 15 Tons (180,000 BTU/hr).
• Refrigerant: Modern, EPA-compliant, low-GWP (e.g., R-410A or R-454B); R-22 prohibited.
• Power: 208/230V, 3-Phase, 60Hz.
• Energy Efficiency: Meet or exceed current DOE SEER/IEER ratings.

Air-Cooled Condensing Unit (Outdoor):

• Compressor: Scroll type with thermal overload and safety switches.
• Coils: Microchannel or copper tube/aluminum fin, corrosion-treated.
• Protection: Louvered panels or hail guards.
• Ambient Operation: Up to 115°F.

Air Handling Unit (Indoor):

• Cabinet: Galvanized steel, insulated.
• Blower: Capable of meeting ductwork static pressure and CFM.
• Coil: DX evaporator with TXV or EEV.
• Filtration: Factory-installed rack for 2-inch filters, minimum MERV 8.

Controls and Automation:

• DDC Integration: Factory-installed or field-provided.
• Open Architecture: Allows monitoring, setpoint adjustment, and scheduling by the 502nd CES without proprietary software or licenses.

This document is critical for bidders to understand the precise technical specifications and performance requirements for the 15-ton commercial DX split system. Vendors must ensure their proposed equipment meets all listed salient characteristics to be considered compliant. It details essential aspects of the system's capacity, efficiency, components, environmental resilience, and control integration capabilities.

Statement of Work (SOW) / Performance Work Statement (PWS)

The objective of this SOW is to provide all necessary personnel, labor, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and quality control to replace the obsolete R-22 split HVAC system in Building 4983 at JBSA Lackland, Texas, with a new, code-compliant system featuring modern Direct Digital Controls (DDC) and BACnet compatibility.

• Decommission and remove the existing 15-ton Rheem Air-Cooled Condensing Unit and RUUD Air Handling Unit.

• Safely recover, containerize, and dispose of all legacy R-22 refrigerant and associated mineral oil in accordance with EPA guidelines.

• Remove existing control wiring and potentially incompatible ductwork.

• Install a new HVAC system utilizing a low-GWP refrigerant (e.g., R-410A or R-454B).

• Fabricate and install necessary sheet metal transitions for ductwork integration.

• Install new copper refrigerant piping; reuse of legacy piping is prohibited.

• Equip the new system with a BTL-Certified, native BACnet-compatible DDC interface for integration with the base EMCS.

• Commission the new system and provide a formal commissioning report verifying performance.

• The new system must meet building load requirements (nominally 15 tons).

• System must be fully operational, commissioned, and integrated with DDC/EMCS.

• A one (1) year warranty on all labor and workmanship is required, commencing on final government acceptance.

• Manufacturer equipment warranties must be transferred to the government.

• Location: Building 4983, JBSA Lackland, Texas.

• Work hours are typically Monday-Friday, 0730-1630, with advance approval required for extended hours.

• Compliance with federal, state, and local building and mechanical codes.

• Strict adherence to lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures.

• Proper disposal of all demolished equipment and refuse.

• Coordination with the facility manager and 502d CES for site access and system downtime.

• Submittal of product data sheets, technical specifications, and shop drawings for proposed equipment prior to procurement.

• Compliance with OSHA, Air Force safety regulations, and environmental regulations (AFI 32-7086, AF Form 3952).

• Adherence to JBSA Lackland security requirements, including base access and identification badges.

• Contractor is responsible for receiving material deliveries and coordinating staging/storage areas.
