C04 Attachment 4 Drawings.pdf

This is a design document containing architectural and engineering drawings and specifications for the NCAUR (National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research) Repair Building Systems project located at 1815 North University Street, Peoria, Illinois 61604. The project is a United States Department of Agriculture facility upgrade.

The project scope encompasses three primary mechanical and electrical system upgrades: (1) upgrade to the steam condensate return systems with new pumps, piping, power, vents, and tanks to replace existing equipment in congested areas above cold storage ceilings; (2) removal and replacement of the interior transformer, distribution switchboard, and concrete pads in Vault 1 with an exterior transformer and interior distribution switchboard; and (3) identical transformer and electrical equipment upgrades in Vault 6. The contractor must provide complete operational systems compliant with governing codes and manufacturer installation requirements, coordinate work among all trades, provide temporary power to energize Vault 1 or Vault 6 circuits during transformer upgrades, perform commissioning to verify equipment functions as intended, conduct training recorded by professional videographer, and submit closeout documents including warranties, as-built drawings, testing reports, and commissioning reports. The sequence of efforts requires submission of front-end paperwork and bonds, security clearances, qualification data for technical trades, coordinated shop drawings with product data, temporary lighting strategy, coordination with USDA regarding research specimen removal, training, and warranty work. All penetrations of roofs and fire-rated walls must be patched and sealed to maintain fire ratings, rubbish must be removed daily, and existing building exits and life safety systems must be maintained throughout construction.
