Description
The Richard L Roudebush Veterans Administration Medical Center (RLRVAMC) in Indianapolis, IN, is seeking an Architect/Engineering (AE) team to improve the comfort, operation, reliability, and energy efficiency of the chilled water system that services the RLRVAMC campus. The project involves a comprehensive investigation of the existing chilled water system, including the chiller plant, distribution piping, pumps, valves, and terminal units. The AE team will provide a detailed study, analysis, and full construction design to modernize and potentially expand the existing chiller plant. The design shall address all systems, including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, controls, civil, structural, and architectural aspects, to ensure operational resilience and compliance with VA standards and applicable codes.
• The project includes a detailed review of all chiller plant equipment for operating, reliability, and energy efficiency.
• The investigation shall also include a review of the size and condition of the distribution system between the chiller plant and buildings.
• The AE team shall provide a detailed energy model under both normal and epidemic modes of operation.
• The project aims to deliver a complete A/E design package to render a complete chilled water system operating in a reliable and energy-efficient manner.
