The U.S. Department of Labor, has a requirement for a qualified contractor to provide construction services for the installation of variable frequency drives (VFD) connected to the HVAC pumps and the building automation system. When installed, the drives will slowly ramp up and down in speed to save energy and avoid the abrupt starts and stops, thereby reducing maintenance. The equipment and installation must be compatible with the existing building automation system. Design is not required but commissioning of the HVAC pump VFDs and building automation system is necessary following installation. The VFDs are to be installed in the central HVAC plant, Building H, at the Centennial Job Corps Center in Nampa, Idaho. Both heating system water and chilled water are distributed to campus buildings with alternating duplex 40 HP pumps. A variable frequency drive is to be installed on each pump with control cabinets installed nearby in the mechanical room. The VFDs will be connected to the existing Siemens Design control system to provide a controlled flow of heating and chilled water. The system performance will be measured, tested, and commissioned with the contractor providing a commissioning report. The contractor will train Center maintenance personnel on proper operation of the VFD equipment. The estimated price range is between $25,000 and $100,000.
