b. Building Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning Systems (HVAC). Building HVAC systems are prime
consumer of energy and represent a key possibility to reducing the overall energy usage of the facilities.
Through a careful review of the proposal information the evaluators must keep energy conservation
considerations forefront in their analysis. Closely associated with the costs of operating the HVAC
equipment, the costs for maintenance of the equipment are a significant concern for the Installation staff.
Evaluators shall also consider the maintainability of the HVAC equipment as proposed and consider this
feature during the evaluation and the preparation of proposal strength and weakness summaries. Proposed
systems which meet the minimum requirements of the statement of work should not be rated above
"AVERAGE". Proposed materials and systems should be evaluated to determine their compliance with the
solicitation requirements. Proposal narrative and information provided concerning the HVAC systems
should address energy conservation as well as control of the various components.
Other Considerations: 1. Access to equipment for maintenance, noise considerations from central
equipment, provision of individual space control, durability of materials proposed,
suitability of materials exposed to heavy usage, integration into the facility wide
control system where applicable, outside air (ventilation) considerations, outside
equipment locations, quality of equipment proposed
2. Provision of special ventilation systems (welding exhaust, vehicle exhaust,
paint spray booth exhaust system, heat recovery systems

Proposal Strengths. Include narrative comments with respect to proposal strengths in the area of
HVAC Systems. Comments are required for all ratings above "AVERAGE".
