SUMMARY

PART 1 GENERAL

1.01 PROJECT TITLE

A. Leopold WMD - HQ HVAC Return Air Retrofit Summary: Design and install, including all material, labor, equipment and supervision, to replace two existing HVAC wall return air systems with underfloor return duct lines, including wall and finish repairs at existing intakes.

1.02 WORK UNDER THESE SPECIFICATIONS

A. Contractor shall furnish materials, labor, equipment and supervision for the work described below in the base bid:

1. Base Bid: The work includes but is not limited to: Designing and installing two underfloor return air insulated ductwork trunks, with laterals, in the office foundation crawl space which will replace the existing two wall returns. Ductwork trunks/laterals will be installed to avoid existing floor structure/framing members which are covered with insulation/barrier. Floor return locations will be proposed by bidder. Return air flow will be tested/balanced and compared to pre-existing return air flow. Existing wall air returns will be modified as noted.

1.03 LOCATION AND INSPECTION OF SITE

A. The work site is located within the Leopold Wetland Management District, Station Office, in

Portage, WI.

B. The mailing address of the Refuge is shown on the Solicitation, Offer, and Award (Standard

Forms 1442 or, 18 block 9) as attached to this Invitation. The Station Manager may be contacted for further information at the above referenced address or by telephone at (608) 742-7100.

C. All prospective bidders/quoters, contractors, subcontractors, and related persons are strongly encouraged to visit the site of the proposed Work and to assess the location and extent of the Work prior to submitting bids.

1. Floor support consists of CMU piers, longitudinal main steel beams and numerous steel submembers and cross members.

2. Underfloor framing is covered with insulation/barrier throughout crawl space. All surrounding work will need to be returned to pre-existing conditions once work is completed.

3. Existing wall return grille frames (2) are 20" x 30" sized for the filter. Wall grilles are connected to return plenum boxes under each of the two furnaces.

4. Install new MERV-13 filters for each plenum box.

5. Crawl space access is through a 30"x30" hatch in Janitor room, approximate crawl space height is 43".
