Specifications include, but are not limited to: The project goals and objectives are listed below. Vendors should discuss any anticipated concepts and proposed methods of approach for achieving each of the listed goals and objectives: 2.1. Goal/Objective 1: Evaluate facility’s existing HVAC systems to identify any potential airflow concerns relating to the removal and addition of walls. The goal is to promote climate uniformity in the office and laboratory spaces allowing for the heat generated by additional equipment and potential reconfiguration of interior walls. Provide assessment of impact of potential changes and recommendations and cost estimates for HVAC solutions to address that impact. 2.2. Goal/Objective 2: Evaluate existing fume hood and biosafety cabinet ventilation system for the Animal Health and READ laboratories. 2.2.1. Determine if there are any positive or negative impacts of changing hood(s) to the current exhaust system and make recommendations on solutions to address the impact of such changes. 2.2.2. Evaluate concept of a horizontal trunk line or alternative exhaust system for the laboratories and develop a concept plan with cost estimate. 2.3. Goal/Objective 3: Evaluate current electrical requirements for the entire facility as well as future electrical demands based on planned equipment acquisitions to determine insufficiencies and/or needed upgrades. Provide recommendations for requirements or alterations. Evaluate current backup generator against current and future electrical demands to propose additional equipment solutions along with cost estimates needed for sufficient backup power. 2.4. Goal/Objective 4: Evaluate existing roof condition and known issues as it pertains to the current roof design, age of roof, and laboratory hood and biosafety cabinet ventilation system penetrations to determine if an alternative roof structure and/or exhaust system will correct the issue. Provide recommendations and cost estimates on roof renovations or upgrades to address leaks and roof penetrations. 2.5. Goal/Objective 5: Evaluate current facility security and safety aspects of facility including fencing, gates, access points, door quality, lighting, cameras, and sidewalks to identify insufficiencies. Propose solutions and cost estimates to address security and accessibility. 2.6. Goal/Objective 6: Assist in preparing specifications, bid documents, bid evaluation, and project oversight for solutions and upgrades from Goals 1 through 5 selected for implementation by WVDA.
