GENERAL PHASING NOTES PHASING SEQUENCE

PHASE 1 - NEW PENTHOUSE

GENERAL:

• Work on new penthouse occurs above the Gift Shop and surrounding areas.

Relocate occupants while structural work occurs.

• Interruption to chilled water and steam service will occur when connections are made. Interruption shall be limited to TBD.

• Interrupt to exhaust service will occur when new exhaust fan is relocated to new penthouse roof. Interruption shall be limited to TBD.

• All occupance to be evacuted during construction while the GC is using overhead cranes to fly steel or equipment, GC to keep interruption limited to a minmum time frame.

NEW WORK:

• Build the new penthouse at first floor roof.

• Install new AHU-20A & 20K, less ductwork below roof. Connect chilled water piping and electrical service.

PHASE 2A – EAST A-WING

GENERAL:

• The existing AHU-20 may continue to serve west perimeter areas, notably the Kitchen and Chapel.

• The corridor east of the Kitchen Dining entrance will be closed. Users must enter from the exterior west entrance to access the Kitchen and Chappel.

• Occupants at the Gift Shop area and the various Admin offices of A-wing must relocate while demolition and new work is performed.

DEMOLITION:

• Cap the existing AHU-20 ductwork and rebalance unit to only serve the

Kitchen and Chapel area.

• Demolish ceilings and air terminals throughout. The existing lights, sprinklers, and low-voltage devices are to remain--only ceilings and air terminal units will be replaced.

• Demolish ductwork within the east construction area as indicated on plans.

NEW WORK:

• Install new ductwork and VAVs associated with AHU-20A & AHU-20K, less extension to A-south wing and extending into kitchen.

• Install new ceilings.

• Startup unit AHU-20A, open entrance from east corridor, and re-occupy.

PHASE 2B - A-WING SOUTH

GENERAL:

• Relocate users while upgrades occur.

• Both service and passenger elevators lobbies shall remain operational..

DEMOLITION:

• Demolish ceilings and air terminals throughout. The existing lights, sprinklers, and low-voltage devices are to remain--only ceilings and air terminal units will be replaced.

• Cap existing AHU-18 ductwork serving area and rebalance unit.

• Demolish ductwork as indicated on plans.

NEW WORK:

• Install new ductwork and VAVs associated with AHU-20A.

• Install new ceilings.

Rebalance unit AHU-20A and re-occupy.

PHASE 3 – WEST A-WING

GENERAL:

• Disable existing AHU-20.

• The corridor west of the kitchen dining entrance will be closed. The west entrance will only be used for contractor access.

• Occupants of the Chapel and Kitchen must either be relocated (or service temporarily stopped).

DEMOLITION:

• Demolish ceilings and air terminals throughout. The existing lights, sprinklers, and low-voltage devices are to remain--only ceilings and air terminal units will be replaced.

• Demolish ductwork within the west construction area as indicated on plans.

NEW WORK:

• Install new ductwork and VAVs associated with AHU-20A & AHU-20K.

• Install new ceilings.

• Startup unit AHU-20K and ramp-up AHU-20A and prepare for occupancy.

PHASE 4 - DEMO AHU-20 & NEW AHU-22

GENERAL:

• The existing AHU-22 shall stay operational while work is performed.

• Interruption to chilled water and steam service will occur when connections are made. Interruption shall be limited to TBD.

• All occupance to be evacuted during construction while the GC is using overhead cranes to fly steel or equipment, GC to keep interruption limited to a minmum time frame.

DEMOLITION:

• Demolish AHU-20 and associated piping and accessories.

NEW WORK:

• Install new AHU-22 in penthouse.

PHASE 5 - DEMO (E)AHU-22 & 3RD FLOOR MODIFICATIONS

GENERAL:

• Relocate 3rd floor users while upgrades occur to return air ductwork. Work may be divided into smaller areas to minimize overall impact.

DEMOLITION:

• Demolish (E)AHU-22 and existing terminal unit with existing hot water coil and duct as needed.

NEW WORK:

• Connect and start-up new AHU-22 and make final connections

• Replace existing terminal unit with existing heating water coil and return ductwork on 3rd floor. Work will be performed in 10’ to 20’ sections during off-hours.

PHASE 6 - REPLACE AHU-18 & 1ST FLOOR UPGRADES

GENERAL:

• Work on first floor will be limited to isolated areas.

• A temporary unit is required for AHU-18 while the new unit is installed. The temporary unit is installed west of the outside air duct.

TEMPORARY:

• Install temporary AHU on roof adjacent to penthouse.

• Disconnect the west louver and disconnect the outside air ductwork to provide access to the penthouse.

• Install temporary ducting to supply and return of AHU-18.

DEMOLITION:

• Demolish AHU-18 and associated piping and accessories.

NEW WORK:

• Install new AHU-18.

• Replace VAVs and ductwork on first floor as indicated on plans.

• Remove temporary measures and start-up AHU-18.
