The new Central Registration will contain new downlights in the newceiling. New Restrooms will have new Light Fixtures. Existing Branch panel serving theADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS00001-3areas to be Pathology Lab and Central Registration is to be relocated. Existing branchcircuits not scheduled for demolition are to be reconnected to relocated panel. All otherpanels not associated with the renovation work are to remain. Existing generator and as-sociated branch panel connected to generator will be salvaged for continued use.Plumbing demolition scope of work includes Plumbing utilities (Hot Water, Cold Water,and sewer) supplying the area to house Pathology Lab are to remain. Fixtures in existingRestroom are to remain. Fixtures in rear Exam Rooms are to be removed and replaced.Mechanical new scope of work includes installing new ductwork in the renovated areasincluding main runs and branch runs. Installing new associated air devices, newfire/smoke dampers as required. New temperature controls will be provided. New Testand Balance will be performed in renovated areas. Providing new replacement Air Han-dler Units at roof and associated transition duct.Electrical new scope of work includes cleaning and replacing parts on fixtures scheduledfor reuse. New fixtures will match existing 2x2, and 2x4 recessed troffers. A limitednumber of new downlights will be utilized in Central Registration. Pathology Lab willcontain a new electrical branch panel dedicated to equipment in the lab area. A new panelreplacing an existing panel scheduled for relocation for the Central Registration area willbe provided. All new outlets and equipment branches will have new circuitry. New roof-top units will be connected to existing roof top branch panel. Emergency power circuitswill be provided for a select number of outlets as designated by Owner (e.g. refrigerators,etc.). Fire alarm and security and sound system devices will be reinstalled.Plumbing new scope of work includes new plumbing fixtures (toilets, lavatories, sinks,floor drains, etc.) will be provided in new Lab area, new Restrooms, and rear Examrooms. New utilities will be provided to new fixtures in select areas. Provide cold waterand hot water piping for new fixtures. Provide isolation valves at select locations in theplumbing system.Structural new scope of work proposed renovations to the first floor of the existing build-ing will require the following items: 1. New floor drains 2. Infill of existing duct open-ings thru existing floor structure 3. Removal of a portion of the existing masonry wall inthe existing lobby area 4. Two new roof top mechanical units on the existing roof struc-ture. The new floor drains will be placed into the existing concrete floor framing. Theexisting concrete floor framing consist of cast in place concrete pan joists spaced at ap-proximately 36 inches on center. The location of the new floor drains will need to be co-ordinated with the existing concrete joists to avoid cutting into the joists and affectingtheir structural integrity. Modification of the proposed locations as currently indicated onthe Architectural drawings may be required. Chipping of the concrete floor slab of ap-proximately " will be required to accommodate the new floor drains. Openings occurthrough the existing concrete floor framing for previous HVAC ductwork. These ductswill be removed and the floor openings will be infilled to recover the floor space. Thevoids in the floor structure will be filled in with new concrete to match the existing con-crete framing. The existing masonry wall is not a load bearing structural element. Thewall spans a height of approximately 10 to 12 feet from the first floor to the underside ofthe roof framing. The wall does not appear to be physically attached to the roof structure.Portions of the existing wall are to be removed to accommodate the new ArchitecturalADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS00001-4layout. Minor structural modifications may be required to support the free edges of thewall after the modifications.The new mechanical units to be placed on the existing roof structure will require analysisof the existing roof framing members to verify the adequacy of the steel joists and beamsto support the additional weight of the new equipment. Structural modifications are antic-ipated in order to adequately support the weight of the new units.Contractor shall visit the site and familiarize themselves with the existing conditions,contract documents and report any discrepancies between the existing conditions usingthe provided UHS Question form.
