HomeMy WebLinkAboutBID - 5853 ANTI ICING SYSTEM (18)OBJECTIVE
The City’s intent is to have install a fully automatic Anti-Icing System within the Civic
Center Parking Structure. This system shall be designed and installed by a prime
contractor. The system shall include fix-spray heads and also be operated by
telephone.
BACKGROUND
The Civic Center is a pre-cast concrete structure that was a design/build project. The
structure was completed in November of 1999. Since completion, the snow of each
snowstorm has been removed and by dumping over the outside walls using mechanical
equipment. Also, to reduce the icing a truck mounted sprayer system has been used.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The contractor shall provide a design for a complete automatic anti-icing system in
accordance with their high quality standards and specifications. The design shall be for
a retrofit installation. The fixed anti-icing spray technology system shall treat the third
and fourth floors plus the LaPorte Avenue Entrance. The system material of
magnesium acetate (chemical) shall be stored in tanks in the storage room. The stored
tanks shall hold approximately 1,500 gallons when filled and location is shown on
drawing Number A2.1.01. The filling of the tanks shall be done from the alley as shown
on drawing Number A2.1.01 note as “Storage Tanks Filling Connection.” When the
system is activated, the chemical from the tanks shall flow to the fix spray areas. The
pipes that carry the chemical shall be concealed in a larger steel galvanized pipe. All
electrical wire may be concealed in electrical EMT pipes. This spray system shall be
automatically activated by a computerized control-system that utilizes the following
combination of input sensors:
Air temperature
Relative humidity
Precipitation
Moisture on deck surface
Deck surface temperature
Chemical presence on deck surfaces

The control logic is programmed to activate in anticipation of frost or icing conditions. In
addition, the control system allows for the city’s staff to program the starting sequence
including a manual start-up. Also, the system shall be able to operate via telephone:
Turn the system on and off
Reports the conditions of air temperature, relative humidity, precipitation, moisture
on deck, deck surface temperature, chemical presence on deck surfaces and take
tank level of chemical.
