A. The Town of Westport is looking to have a design firm perform a thorough review and provide drawings and specifications to address the replacement of five (5) inline hydronic pumps located at the Staples High School. The current inlet piping of each pump was not installed per manufacturers instructions, causing cavitation issues and damage to pump components. B. The existing controllers for hydronic pumps located throughout Area J of the school are outdated and the system differential pressure for several hot water loops is unreliable. Control components have also been reported to be failed and there is currently hot water flow issues in Area H of the school reported from previous review with the district. C. The hot water distribution system is suspected to be out of balance and it was reported that balancing valves are fully open on several devices. D. The fan coil units are equipped with cartridge type valves which have poor design and 30% valves fail every year. E. Staples High School is located at 70 North Avenue in Westport, Connecticut. F. The Town of Westport is seeking design proposals from architectural and/or engineering firms who are qualified in the provision of drawings and specifications for the work referenced within this request for proposal
