Bidding on state funded projects is a highly regulated process. Trane has become a heavily entrenched in ICCSD schools since 2005. Ask yourself if they achieved this by consistently providing the best products and services. There are two documents associated with this post. 061005_Trane Design Info and trane special request.

Summary of our conversation: Specifications call out for stand alone heat pump controls in the heat pump section – DDC in controls section. Response- Trane to provide DDC interface to heatpumps. Heatpumps to ship with safeties and water isolation valve that Trane will interface to. The Stats that were specified to be provided by the heatpump manufacture will need to be cancelled before they are ordered. (responsibility of the engineer to confirm) Specifications call out for all controls to be provided by ERV-1 Manufacture – DDC has elaborate points list. Response-ERV unit should ship with Dampers, VFD’s, Fans, Safeties. Trane to add all DDC controls, humidity, co 2 sensors, as noted on points list including a DDC Controller to meet the sequences as described. In the event the ERV unit comes BACnet or LON compatible, Trane will coordinate with the vendor to take advantage of these options before the unit ships. Trane will NOT be responsible for added fees required of the ERV vendor for BACnet or LON options. None was specified for them to provide. WEB Access is specified. Trane will have $ set aside for WEB access however, ICCS will determine which direction to head with the WEB server. This project may NOT have WEB access depending on the outcome. Chiller Relocation: Trane will assume responsibility of relocating the wiring as is. We will consider tying in the chiller to the Summit if the Chiller is compatible. The added costs is very minimal to do this. A PC Workstation was specified for the school. ICCS does NOT have PC workstations in any schools and all new expansions and schools are linked to the one primary PC at Facilities department. Trane will NOT include a PC workstation in our proposal. A portable device is specified. ICCS does not require such device, therefore Trane will exclude this from our proposal. 5 Year Warranty on valves. Not sure if Labor to replace the valve is to be included. This can be costly (Insurance Policy) Would be cheaper for the owner to handle the labor on a T& M Basis. Trane will provide Material Warranty on valves but NOT labor. This is to save $ - T&M direct with Trane will also minimize markups for a cost that may never happen. Kelly, If you could review and respond asap –make sure we are on the same page.
