Specifications include, but are not limited to: 1. This Project renovates and repurposes a vacated Child Care Center into an analytical laboratory for wet chemistry and instrumentation analysis. The existing 10,615-gsf single-story building flanks a four-story parking structure that is separated with a 2-hour firewall. The building is constructed with steel roof joists, stud bearing walls inside and out, concrete masonry veneer, and concrete slab-ongrade. The building is served with water, chilled water, power, data, fire alarm and security and controls systems from the nearby Administration Building, some of which require replacement. The building has its own sanitary, storm and gas services, some of which need improvements.; 2. The site work includes repurposing a children’s playground courtyard into a vehicular service courtyard, which includes selective site demolition, sewers, masonry wall modifications, curb cuts and driveways, pedestrian walks and curbs, frost slabs, vehicular pavements, bollards, signage and trees.; 3. Exterior building envelope improvements include selective demolition of entry alcoves, windows and wall openings. It also includes wall infills, masonry cleaning, tuck-pointing, painted graphics, building entrances, window replacement, louvers, roof openings for exposed ductwork and equipment, structural steel supports for rooftop equipment, and roofing repairs and coating.; 4. Interior improvements include demolition of interior finishes, equipment and systems. The design relocates the central mechanical room and extends utility services. The scope also includes floor slab trenching and repairs, stud partitions, gypsum board repairs, doors and frames, hardware, door access control and automatic operators, overhead coiling door, hollow metal glazing, all-glass storefront glazing, acoustic panel ceilings, gypsum soffits, finish flooring, wall finishes, metal fabrications, plastic laminate cabinets and lockers, quartz countertops, visual display boards, signage, cubicle curtains, toilet accessories, fire extinguishers, and window shades. Fixed laboratory equipment includes casework and tables, benchtops and sinks, fittings and devices, chemical storage cabinets, chemical fume hoods, and an environmental control chamber. The building has been surveyed for hazardous materials and determined abatement isn’t required.; 5. The building’s automatic fire suppression system shall be maintained and modified, as well as sanitary and roof storm drainage. The plumbing scope includes selective demolition, overflow roof drains, acid waste drainage system, domestic water, deionized water, natural gas, compressed air, vacuum, nitrogen and argon distribution, and fixtures and faucets. The existing water service shall be extended from the building entrance to the proposed mechanical room. The water heater will be replaced. New plumbing equipment includes domestic water heater, air compressor, vacuum pump, circulating pumps, and laboratory gas manifolds and regulators.; 6. The building’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems will be replaced in their entirety, as well as the chilled water service from an adjacent chiller plant. New systems include: new indoor VAV air handling unit for laboratories (singleduct, hot water reheat and preheat, & chilled water cooling); new rooftop VAV air handling unit for offices (DX cooling & natural gas heating); VAV laboratory exhaust system with manifolded ducts and rooftop induced dilution fans; general exhaust system for toilet rooms, custodial closets & break areas; chilled water circulating pumps; gas-fired boilers and redundant recirculating pumps; and a stand-alone DDC temperature control system integrated with the existing Siemens system.; 7. The building’s normal power, telecommunications distribution and fire alarm will be expanded and redistributed to meet new requirements. A new natural gas generator will be added for standby power. Lighting and controls, door access control, and CCTV surveillance will be replaced in their entirety. A new UPS system for telecommunication equipment will be added, as well as a grounding system for laboratory instrumentation. The scope also includes selective demolition.; 8. The Owner will provide telecommunications equipment, and movable furnishings and laboratory equipment as described on the drawings.
