Questions from Site visit 3 for Power and HVAC in RMR Auditorium

1. The revised SOW in Amd 3 indicates:

The A/V Control room’ electrical provisions currently consist of circuits NLS9- 47,49,51 for receptacles; while NLS9- 53,55 serve A/V Control Rack equipment. These circuits are derived from Electric Room 01-SV-C37-E9, which is located at column lines 38.5 & B in the Service Level. Panel NHS9 will be the source; while a step-down transformer and a new 120/208 V. panel will be installed to provide the necessary circuits.

A new fan coil unit will be installed to cool this room. Existing ductwork and HVAC piping shall be modified and electrical power installed. Submit RFI for electrical source panel.
