The design-build project at Columbus Air Force Base (CAFB) focuses on replacing the air handler and chiller system at the Youth Center (B348). The project requires comprehensive upgrades to mechanical and plumbing equipment, excluding the boiler and water heater. Tasks include installing a new variable air volume (VAV) system, replacing all associated components, and ensuring integration with existing Energy Management Control Systems. The contractor is responsible for all design, including site investigations, preparation of contract documents, and compliance with applicable regulations and standards.
Additionally, the contractor must effectively manage multiple phases of construction, providing temporary HVAC solutions during the project to maintain operations. The project mandates a thorough quality control plan and requires inspection and commissioning of the new systems to ensure optimal functionality. Government oversight will include review and approval of design documents at various stages, emphasizing adherence to safety regulations and timely completion. This initiative underscores the government's commitment to maintaining operational efficiency and environmental responsibility while enhancing facility infrastructure at CAFB.
