Z2DA--Remediate Temperature Controls 539-21-108

Amendment / Modification

This document is Addendum 4, dated 01-12-2026, which revises and adds to the existing "M906 - BUILDING 1 PRESSURIZATION CONTROL SEQUENCES - AHU-17" document.

Key changes include:

• Supply Fan Control Revision: The Variable Speed Drive (VFD) for the supply fan will be modulated by a static pressure sensor located two-thirds down the main supply duct, using a Proportional Plus Integral (PI) control to maintain the static pressure setpoint (initially 0.75" W.C.).
• Supply Air Static Pressure Setpoint Reset: The static pressure setpoint will be dynamically adjusted based on VAV box damper positions. It will decrease by 0.05" W.C. every 10 minutes if all VAV dampers are below 80% open, and increase by 0.05" W.C. every 5 minutes if any damper exceeds 90% open. The setpoint has a low limit of 0.25" W.C. and a high limit of 1.25" W.C. Alarms will be generated for zones excessively driving the reset logic, with an option for operator removal of zones from this algorithm.
• Supply Air Temperature Reset Revision: The reset will follow ASHRAE 36 guidelines. A request table graphic will be provided showing an importance multiplier for each zone and the percentage of time a zone has requested service in the past month to identify "rogue zones." Alarms for rogue zones will be sent to the Energy Manager, and the system can disregard these zones until they are fixed.
• Temperature Reset based on Humidity: When humidity in the return, exhaust, or room exceeds 61%, the "trim and respond" command will be based on humidity levels, not room temperature. Once humidity drops below 57%, control reverts to room temperature.
• Relief Air Damper Control Modification: Control will be modified for maximum space pressure as per sheet M900.

• Supply Fan Control (Section 2.A)
• SAF Static Load Reduction (Section 3)
• Supply Fan System Speed Control (General Notes E.1)
• Supply Air Static Pressure Setpoint Reset (General Notes E.1.B)
• Supply Air Temperature Reset (General Notes F)
• Relief Air Damper Control (Section 6.A and General Notes G)

Bidders should review these changes as they modify the control sequences and operational parameters for the Air Handling Unit (AHU)-17, impacting the system's performance and potentially the installation and commissioning requirements.

This document is a VHA Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) template for construction, renovation, and maintenance activities. It provides a framework for assessing infection risks and determining necessary precautions. The template guides users through identifying the activity category, affected areas, patient risk levels, and corresponding infection prevention and control measures (Levels I-IV).

While not a solicitation or SOW, this document is critical for understanding the infection control requirements that will likely be imposed on any construction, renovation, or maintenance work performed within VHA facilities. Bidders should review this document to anticipate the scope of infection control measures, potential impacts on project timelines, and associated costs. Specifically, it outlines:

• Activity Categories (Table 1): Defines different types of work (A-D) based on dust creation, duration, and impact on occupied spaces.
• Affected Areas (Table 2): Requires identification of the specific work area and adjacent areas that may be impacted.
• Patient Risk Categories (Table 3): Assesses the risk level of patients in affected areas (Low to Highest).
• Infection Prevention and Control Precautions (Table 4 & 5): Determines the required level of precautions (I-IV) based on activity and patient risk, detailing specific control measures for dust control, barrier construction, negative air pressure, and worker hygiene.
• Completion Measures (Table 6): Outlines requirements for cleaning and barrier removal upon project completion.
• Permit Form (Page 8): A fillable permit that must be posted on-site for Level III and IV activities, summarizing the required controls.

Understanding these requirements is essential for developing accurate bids and ensuring compliance during project execution.

Amendment / Modification

This document is Addendum 4, dated January 12, 2026, which modifies the original solicitation.

• Supply Fan Control (Section 2.G): Revisions include modulating VFDs based on a static pressure sensor, implementing a supply air static pressure setpoint reset based on VAV box damper positions, and setting low/high limits for the setpoint. It also requires automatic detection and alarming of zones excessively driving the reset logic, with operator override capability.
• Supply Air Temperature Reset (Section 2.H): Revisions to follow ASHRAE 36 standards, provide a request table graphic showing zone importance multipliers and time in request, and send rogue zone alarms to the Energy Manager. The program will allow ignoring rogue zones until fixed. Temperature reset logic will be based on humidity levels (above 61% or below 57%) or room temperature.
• Relief Air Damper Control (Section 2.I): Modification to control for maximum space pressure per sheet M900.
• Exhaust Fans (Section 2.J, 2.K, 2.L): Exhaust fans (except EF-32) will be turned off during night time setback. A motorized damper will be added to EF-32 ductwork to isolate the waiting room, allowing restrooms to continue to be exhausted. EF-32 airflow will be adjusted for night time setback.
• Air Valves (Section 2.M): Air valves C2025 and C2009 will be closed during night time setback.

This amendment introduces significant changes to the control sequences for supply fans, temperature reset, relief air dampers, and exhaust fans.

This document details the "Sequence of Operations" for Air Handling Unit (AHU)-21, focusing on pressurization control sequences for Building 1. It outlines the operational logic for temperature control, economizer cycles, humidity control, freeze protection, and automatic shutdowns.

• AHU-21 Sequence of Operations:

  • General Operation: Unit start/stop controlled by DCP or ECC, with specific damper positions for "OFF" and "ON" states.
  • Temperature Control: Maintains supply air temperature at 55°F, with reheat coils modulating based on outside air temperature.
  • Economizer Control: Utilizes outside air and return air enthalpy to enable or disable economizer mode. Includes a mixed air sensor and low-limit control to prevent over-opening.
  • Minimum Outside Air: Provided by modulating damper D-1, with specific setpoints based on supply fan operation and CO2 sensor readings.
  • Air Flow Control: Supply air flow controlled by variable speed motor controllers (VSMC) to maintain duct static pressure or space temperature. Return air fan VSMC is reset to maintain a constant air flow difference.
  • Humidity Control: Maintains return air humidity at 30% RH (adjustable) via humidifier control valve V-4, with overrides for maximum humidity and outside air temperature.
  • Freeze Protection: Triggers alarms and fan shutdowns if air temperature drops below set thresholds.
  • Automatic Shutdown/Restart: Initiated by smoke detection, closing isolation dampers and shutting down fans. Fans restart when the fire alarm circuit is reset.
  • Emergency Operation: Allows manual operation at constant speed via bypass starter upon VSMC failure.
  • Demand Control Ventilation: Modulates dampers based on provided control sequences.
  • Relief Air Damper Control: Modulates to maintain building static pressure and closes when the air handler is off.

• Scope of Work Tasks:

  • Commission AHU to verify operation per sequence.
  • Recalibrate pressure transducers.
  • Perform preventative maintenance on dampers and actuators.
  • Clean and calibrate air flow monitoring stations.
  • Revise control sequences to include discharge air reset based on zone demand and night setback/warm-up/cool-down operations.
