02 | TENDER ACTIONS
2.1| REVIEW OF TENDER DRAWINGS

A The Tender / Issued for Construction drawings prepared by the Engineer primarily describe the design intent of the
Works, the working principles of the systems, general arrangements, and principles of services co-ordination and
the intended methods of installation.
B The Tender drawings are accordingly part diagrammatic with runs of piping, ducts, cable, conduit and the like being
shown to small scale and not necessarily indicating final exact installation positions.
1 The Tender drawings are intended to provide sufficient information:

a. to facilitate the preparation of an estimate and tender;
b. to enable all other participants to appreciate the inter-relation of the works with other trades and
disciplines;
c. When read in conjunction with the architectural and structural engineering drawings to enable the
preparation of the final builder's work information, co-ordination, installation and shop drawings
incorporating manufacturing drawings and final details of specified or selected plant and equipment.
d. The Tender drawings indicate equipment, pipework, ductwork, cable tray routes and trunking in
sufficient detail to show how all the engineering services can generally be accommodated and co-
ordinated with each other, the architecture and the structure. However, the Contractor shall be
responsible for the detailed coordination of all engineering services.
e. The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that the Design Intent indicated on the Tender
Drawings is in no way impaired due to additional pipe bends, deviations or changes in the service
routes and plant layout.
f. Any dimensions are stated for elements that have a visual impact on the completed Works. The
drawings shall not necessarily show dimensions required to construct the Works nor shall they
accurately locate every item of equipment or plant ancillary which does not influence the visual
impact of the completed works. The decision of the CA as to what has a visual impact shall be final.
g. The Tender drawings are not intended to detail the building fabric or structure, nor are they based on
survey drawings or installation drawings of any other party or Consultant.
h. Plant and equipment shown on the Tender drawings is based upon the manufacturer‘s catalogue
information and is subject to verification by the Contractor.
i. Where sprinkler drawings are provided, the information shown on the tender drawings shall indicate
the design intent but this must be subject to verification by the approved installer who shall accept
full responsibility for the design in accordance with the local civil defense (Authority Having
Jurisdiction) and NFPA requirements.
j. Where it is necessary to survey an existing building or existing structure or services within that
building to prepare co-ordinated installation and shop drawings the contractor is to allow for this
within the contract price.
k. The Contractor shall interpret the design intent of the Tender drawings and reflect same in the co-
ordination and installation drawings subject to the comments of the CA.
1). Where differences occur between the Tender and the co-ordination and installation drawings
these differences shall be deemed to be included in the contract price for the Works and no
additional cost shall be allowed due to any variation in layout, arrangement or detail unless the
deviation is specifically covered by a CA Instruction before the production of the drawings.
2). The Contractor shall obtain all information required to produce the co-ordination and
installation drawings or requirements at no cost. Where it is necessary to survey an existing
building or existing structure or services within that building to prepare co-ordinated
installation and shop drawings the contractor shall undertake responsibility for obtaining that
information. The cost of obtaining that information must be included in the contract price.
2.2| DISCREPANCIES IN TENDER DOCUMENTS

A Any considered discrepancy or information which is incompatible or ambiguous between and within the tender
documentation shall be drawn to the attention of the Engineer during the tender period, allowing sufficient time for
a clarifying response and incorporation into the return tender or include for the most onerous option available. No
allowance shall be made for financial adjustment for discrepancies resolved following receipt of tenders.
B In the event of the discrepancies appearing in the drawings, or between the drawings and Specification, or drawings
and schedules, Tenderers shall refer the matter in writing to the CA for interpretation.
C The Contractor shall note that technical performance details, equipment schedules and/or equipment lists included
in (or referred to by) this specification or referred may not reflect the final requirement and are thus subject to
completion and/or revision or elaboration.
D The Contractor shall not be entitled to any claim for extra monies, allowances or consideration (financial or other)
in respect of any differences between the equipment performance and/or selection schedules or lists given in the
project tender and construction documentation and the final selections procured by the contractor.
2.3| PRECEDENCE BETWEEN DRAWINGS, SPECIFICATION AND DOCUMENTS

A If changes occur to Regulations, Statutory Instruments or Standards etc., the Drawings and Specification shall take
precedence. The Contractor shall however, refer any such discrepancies to the Engineer before assuming a
particular interpretation, particularly in respect of Statutory Instruments, Regulations or Design Code.
2.4| INFORMATION TO BE SUBMITTED WITH TENDER

A The following information shall be provided by the Contractor in his Tender:
1 Details of any professional consultants employed to undertake required design services.

2 Technical proposal for the system(s) which shall be installed including method statement for the execution of

The Contractor shall supply, install, test and commission the complete MEP Services installation in relation to the
Trakhees EHS ‘Green Buildings’ Guidelines and any further project sustainability KPIs identified by the appointed
specialist Sustainability Consultant, some of which are addressed below.
11.2| SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

The design, construction and maintenance of buildings has a significant impact on our environment and natural
resources. Buildings typically annually consume more than 30% of the total energy and over 60% of the electricity used
in the developed world.
Green building practices can however substantially reduce or eliminate negative environmental impacts and improve
existing unsustainable design, construction and operational practices. As an added benefit, green design measures can
reduce operating costs, enhance building marketability, increase worker productivity and reduce potential liability
resulting from indoor air quality problems. In other words, green design has environmental, economic and social
elements that benefit all building stakeholders, including owners, occupants and the general public.
WME are fully committed to the principles of sustainable environmentally responsible building design and related
construction and will propose a high level of a sustainable design, although it is understood that the project budget must
be protected.
The Trakhees EHS Green Building Regulations will be used as a guideline, to inform our design, and a direction on
which or any other sustainable parameters being implemented, in coordination with the sustainability consultant.

(1) Although no active humidity control is to be provided to these spaces the Air Conditioning and ventilation system
shall be designed to dehumidify the external air prior to supply (to approx. 12-13 ºC) to ensure the space humidity’s do
not rise above approximately 50% RH ± 10%.
(2) Summer temperature levels assume ‘dry’ waste only, with no specific food/organic waste present. Food waste may
require lower temperatures to slow down decomposition and prevent odours from emanating from garbage rooms.
(3) Whilst the internal dry resultant temperatures are for design calculations, actual room dry resultant temperatures will
be controlled to a bandwidth of +/- 2 °C.
(4) For occupant comfort, normal occupied spaces should have an average air velocity between (0.2 - 0.3) m/s.

J Building Management systems
1 As part of a strategy to provide excellent levels of monitoring, control and energy efficiency a Building
Energy Management System will be provided to meet the requirements of the Trakhees EHS Green Building
Regulations, CIBSE Guide H Building Control Systems and BS EN15232 Energy Performance of buildings.
17.2.3 PUBLIC HEALTH / WATER SYSTEMS

1 Water demand and Storage
a. Cold water storage requirements shall be calculated in accordance with DEWA guidelines for new
development projects (update 2015) and incorporate CIBSE Guide G demands where applicable.
However, Potable water tank is existing and is currently operational and serving for the existing other
phases of the project.
1). Notes:
a). Where water demand data is not available for specific usages to meet project
requirements in the DEWA guidelines then CIBSE Guide G shall be used.
b). It is to be noted that these occupancies for the PH design are not aligned with the
occupancies that have been agreed to utilise for the cooling and ventilation systems
design. This is so as not to oversize the storage tanks at this stage. Flow rates can be
increased, if necessary. This will be reviewed as part of the scheme design stage.
17.2.4 ELECTRICAL
A The Utility supply from the DEWA network will be as follows:
1 Primary incoming supplies are anticipated from DEWA at 11 kV primarily from the Crescent Road.
2 A DEWA RMU room will be provided as building B24, where the 11 kV intake position is proposed and
requires conformation with DEWA together with the routing of 11 kV supply.
3 A DEWA transformer room in building B21, will be provided where DEWA will run the 11kV supplies to
from B24,
4 400/230V LV supply cabling will be run from the transformer room to the main LV room in building B21.
B Life safety systems will be fully backed up with a standby diesel generator with 8hr fuel supply.
C Lightning Protection
1 A system consisting of a Faraday Cage is envisaged on Triton Tower with bonding making use of a
grounding pit or similar via exothermic welded connections.
D LightingThe lighting design is developed by the lighting consultant, and the contractor shall refer to the lighting
consultant’s documentation.
1 Durability and Energy Consumption

a. In any case during its lifetime, the Waterpark will be used by thousands of people with long opening
times over nearly the whole area. Therefore, any lighting installation has to be designed with
durability and low energy consumption in mind.
b. Light fixtures will be embedded in the architecture or placed were no visitor can touch the fixture to
ensure that neither harm to the visitor nor damage to the fixture could occur.
c. The project requires high specifications in energy labels to ensure an exemplary low energy
consumption.
3. General
2 Lighting design will be guided by the following ideas:
a. considering the daylight appearance as a base for the artificial lighting concept
b. impressive appearance during the night
c. choreography of light with general lighting and feature lighting
d. high visual comfort
e. flexibility for the exhibition purpose and future development
f. appropriate light colours
g. easy maintainability
h. long lifetime
i. efficient luminaires
j. cost effectiveness
E Lighting Requirements
1 General Lighting Targets

a. Below table summarizes the targeted illumination levels and lighting power densities for the general
lighting.
b. Please note that the lighting has to be defined by the specialist lighting designer, so that the general
lighting is for circulation only.
Av.

Plantrooms 200 lux 0.4 22 TBD

Gift Shop TBD TBD TBD TBD
Restrooms 150 lx 0.4 25 5 W/m²
Landscape < 5 lx TBD - 2.0 W/m²
Table 3.Target values for lighting (based on CIBSE)

c. General Remarks
1). The artificial lighting will be appropriate and functional ensuring a straight forward and
optimal lighting solution. All lighting fixtures will be placed in positions taking into account
the best angles, energy efficient illumination, visual comfort and easy maintenance.
2). The lighting layout for the general lighting will follow the main architectural structure in an
unobtrusive design. Special lighting features will be to highlight the architectural elements and
the overall appearance.
3). The outside appearance will be focused and since the landscaping has a clear way to the
building, an arcade lighting will create the sufficient vertical luminance to orientate safely in
the evening.
F Lighting Technology
1 Lighting Fixtures will be chosen complying with IEC 60598 and BS EN 55015.
2 Technical Strategy
a. The general artificial lighting will be based on LED technology.
b. Other lamp technologies such as fluorescent and high discharge lamps will not be recommended,
because the availability and the production of lamps and luminaires are not secured for the future.
The lighting market has matured already with LED technology and there is no sign of a future with
traditional technology.
c. The technical values of the latest LED technology will meet or outperform the values of the
fluorescent and discharge lamps in terms of efficiency, energy consumption, colour rendering,
lifetime and dimming capabilities.
d. The lifetime of the LED luminaire depends largely on the ambient temperature and the value of
current in mA with which the LED chip is driven. If this value is decreased, then there is a high
increase in lifetime. A balance of lumen output and long lifetime expectation has to be found to
optimize the luminaires. In any case, long and reliable operation is a key feature for the chosen light.
e. Technical data
1). Lumen output: 90 to 140 lm/W
2). Luminaire efficiency: > 0.85
3). General light colour: 4.000 K on black body line
4). Binning: 2 MacAdam Steps
5). Colour rendering: > 80
6). Life time: 60.000 h for every single component
7). Lumen maintenance: L 90, B 10 after 60.000 h (goal)
8). (Lumen depreciation up to 90 % of initial output with a maximum of 10 % failure)Design of
Outdoor SpacesThis section of the design criteria is explained in specialist’s documentation,
refer to Specialist Lighting Designer and Landscape Lighting documentation.
17.3| OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

A Overview
1 The ability to successfully operate and maintain a building over time is significantly dependent upon
decisions that are made in the design process. Everything from building layout to finish materials will affect
building operation. To the extent possible, buildings can be designed to be ‘self-monitoring’ or at least
highly ‘transparent’ and ‘readable.’ Sensors and electronic systems that alert maintenance staff to potential
problems, or which regulate energy use can save cost over the lifetime of the building, both in operating and
replacement costs. The success of the operations and maintenance of any building depends largely on the
staff’s understands how the building works. Detailed operations and maintenance manuals will be developed
to assist in this effort. The manuals should include all details about any systems in the building that will
require maintenance or operation. Information on the manufacturer, vendor and installing contractor,
submittal data, operation and maintenance instructions, a parts list, replacement sources, tools needed for
maintenance, performance data and warranty information should all be listed in the O&M manuals. All
controls as well as equipment should be covered with instructions for operation, seasonal changeovers,
troubleshooting, alarms, system diagrams, control drawings, shutdown and unoccupied operation.
17.4| MAINTENANCE STRATEGY

A Maintenance activities are categorized depending on their timely repetition cycles and can be differentiated as
periodic maintenance, irregular maintenance and maintenance when necessary. They can generally be divided into
three categories, depending on the nature of the activity and their repetition cycles:
1 Inspection (periodic);
2 Cleaning and Servicing (irregular);
3 Replacement and repairs (when necessary).
B Inspection is a periodic maintenance activity. Periodic cycles shall be defined within the maintenance manual of the
final design. The inspection cycles range depending on the complexity of the building component. Critical
components will require inspection more often, while less critical elements can have a longer period of inspection.
It is anticipated that periodic activities will be conducted in an efficient manner, whereupon painting and repairs can
be conducted in a safe manner and on a larger scale when necessary.
C Cleaning can be a periodic or irregular maintenance activity, depending on the demands of the specific component.
Cycles shall be defined within the maintenance manual. Higher importance needs to be given to cleaning and
servicing necessary to maintaining functionality. Painting for select items can be considered as part of the general
cleaning and servicing of the building components, and shall be called out in the O&M manuals.
D Replacement and repair are maintenance activities to be conducted when deemed to be necessary after routine
inspections or when issues arise with respective components.
1 Design Criteria and Assumptions

a. The goals of the comprehensive Building and Operations and Maintenance Program for the new area
of the waterpark include, but are not limited to the following:
1). Reduce capital repairs;
2). Reduce unscheduled shutdowns and repairs;
3). Extend equipment life, thereby extending facility life;
4). Realize life cycle cost savings, and;
5). Provide safe, functional systems and facilities that meet the design intent and the Client’s
requirements.
b. A critical component of the O&M program is proper management. The management function must
integrate the full scope of the program into a coherent entity by facilitating proper department
interface.
c. Maintenance Scope – The following is a list of the primary building maintenance scope that need to
be inspected, cleaned and serviced and repaired and replaced in accordance with the manufacturers'
recommendations and building O&M manual.
1). Building Exterior
a). Roofing
b). Façade
c). Glazing
d). Lighting
e). Operable Components
2). Building Interiors;
a). Finishes
b). Lighting
3). Building Systems;
a). HVAC
b). Electrical;
c). Plumbing;
d). Drainage
e). Fire Alarm System;
f). Fire Suppression;
g). Gas systems
4). Landscaping/Grounds;
E Access and Equipment
1 The materials and machinery with which the building is constructed and with which the interior is fitted-out
should be durable as well as aesthetic. They should be easily cleaned and long lasting. Cleaning and
maintenance products should be low in toxicity and volatile organic compounds. It is important for the
building maintenance personnel to participate in further discussions relating to materials and cleaning
products so that they understand the importance of following the maintenance guidelines in regard to
environmental quality.
2 All areas of the building, including exterior spaces and the roof, will be designed with maintenance access
systems in mind in order to facilitate access for inspection, cleaning and servicing, and replacement and
repair. In the long-term, visual inspection is the most important part of all inspections. The following images
present three examples of common machinery that may be used to access all interior and exterior
components of the building during routine maintenance activities. The lifts can access the building through
the entry doors.
Figure 1. Scissor lift, Articulated Boom lift and Crawler Boom Lift
3 A more labour intensive alternative to provide access to the underside of the roof slabs would be to install
temporary scaffolding from the floor as shown in the following image.
Figure 2. Examples of temporary moveable scaffolding

4 A fall arrest rail (which would need to be concealed) on the roof as shown in Figure 3, can be used for
abseiling in order to facilitate inspection and maintenance (debris clearing/painting) on top of the roof.
Possible details for a man-safe rail are shown in Figure 4.
Figure 3. Example of maintenance activities on top of the structure using a fall protection rail system
Figure 4. Example details of proposed Man-safe Rail
5 Computerized Maintenance Management Systems manage day-to-day operations and track the status of
maintenance work, and monitor the associated costs of that work. These systems are vital tools to not only
manage the day-to-day activities, but also to provide valuable information for preparing metrics to use in
evaluating the effectiveness of the current operations and to support organizational and personnel decisions.
