RENSSELAER COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY HVAC RENOVATIONS & MODIFICATIONS

RCHS/ Hart Cluett Museum currently occupies all 4 floors of number 57, plus a carriage house to the rear of 59. The existing HVAC system was installed in 1999 and is in working order and was a quality installation along with new electric service and distribution, wiring and lighting also install at this time. The HVAC system currently consist of a boiler located in the basement of the carriage house in a boiler room and supplies all hot water heating to all the HVAC units. The HVAC system consists of 4 large floor mounted horizontal air handling units 3 of which are located in the basement and 1 is located on the 2nd floor (attic) of the carriage house. These units service the lower floors (Bmt & 1). The condensing units for these units are all located on the roof. The upper floors (3 & 4) are serviced by 4 roof top units. The existing AHU’s and RTU’s have humidification equipment that is currently not functioning. The Owner is receiving grant funding that is awarded to them for the financing of this Project. MWBE will be a requirement and a minimum of 30% of total Project cost must be achieved. As part of this RFQ, please itemize any vendors, subs, and/ or suppliers that will be used to fulfill this requirement. PROJECTED SCOPE OF WORK – This scope of work is intended to be turn key construction with all aspects of the work under one agreement with Owner and HVAC vendor. Produce stamped engineered drawings of proposed work (based on Design Build). The existing building layout can be used for design documents assuming it is reviewed and stamped by Engineer. Acquire building permit and any other permits required by City of Troy Disconnect and remove all equipment, piping, wiring etc. not to be reused. New RTUs (4) set on existing curbs all existing piping, electrical etc. to be reused. It is assumed all existing curbs, piping, etc. can be reused; however, if this is not accurate after assessing during pre-bid walk thru please identify within your bid/ proposal. New condensing units for all 4 AHUs set on roof blocking, all existing piping will be evacuated and new refrigerant installed Installation of humidification systems to be functional. Note. There are existing control systems that are not functioning currently. The team understands that some of the equipment is integral with air handlers, and assessment of air handlers to be evaluated. All electrical connections and wiring to new equipment Control system for all HVAC equipment to be compatible with equipment. There is an existing system; however, it is not functioning. Startup and balancing of all systems to be done by 3rd party, and a full balancing report to be provided at completion of construction. See list of alternates below: Alternate #1 - Boiler work (either new high efficiency boiler(s) and all associated piping, gas connects, insulation, expansion tanks etc. to be reused. Pricing should include removals off site as required of existing equipment. Alternate #2 – Cleaning of all existing ductwork as accessible including registers, grilles, diffusers, etc. Alternate #3 – Add supplemental cooling unit in boiler room/ electric room within Carriage House. Ventilation for this room to be reviewed and considered for use of existing louvered operable window. All proposed equipment and/or materials to match or exceed the performance, quality, and function of the existing equipment. Please provide name of mfr. of all equipment and equipment cut sheets as part of proposal submitted.
