Project Manual Summary

This is a Project Manual for Architect-Engineer (AE) Design Services for Kitchen Cooler Remediation prepared by Stanley Consultants, Inc. for the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) at the Criss Cole Rehabilitation Center located at 101 East 15th Street, Austin, Texas. The project involves the removal of one existing packaged refrigeration split system (evaporator/condenser pair) serving a kitchen walk-in cooler and the installation of two smaller packaged refrigeration split systems with associated lead/lag controls to replace it. The evaporators will be installed inside the cooler enclosure while the condensers will be mounted on the roof outside the enclosure, with interconnecting piping, structural members, and controls connecting the systems. The work is to be constructed under a single lump sum agreement with the contractor responsible for employing all necessary subcontractors. Construction will be performed in stages to accommodate the owner's continued use of the premises, with work coordinated to minimize disruptions to utilities and building operations. The project is TWC Project No. 320 260 0135, with a professional seal from mechanical engineer Randy Schrecengost, P.E., and was prepared as of April 1, 2026.

The manual establishes comprehensive procedural requirements including submittal procedures to be completed electronically within 15 days for engineer review, with shop drawings required in PDF or TIF format. Product substitutions are permitted only during a 30-day period following the effective agreement date, with the contractor bearing the cost of engineer evaluation. The document specifies quality control standards requiring compliance with manufacturers' instructions and applicable building codes, welding certifications per AWS standards, and detailed safety procedures including OSHA compliance for hexavalent chromium exposure and confined space work. Contractor responsibilities include maintaining a project record documents file, providing operation and maintenance manuals in bound format within 10 days after final inspection, scheduling equipment start-up with seven days' notice to the engineer, and conducting demonstration and instruction of all equipment to the owner's personnel two weeks prior to substantial completion. The manual requires preconstruction and progress meetings, detailed construction schedules, safety procedures documentation, and final cleaning and closeout procedures prior to project completion and owner acceptance.

Project and Contract Documents. Contractor may proceed with fabrication of work in submittal.

2. Reviewed As Noted: Submittal has been reviewed and appears to be in conformance to design concept of Project and Contract Documents, except as noted by reviewer. Contractor may proceed with fabrication of work in submittal with modifications and corrections as indicated by reviewer.

3. Reviewed As Noted-Resubmit: Submittal has been reviewed and appears to be in conformance to design concept of Project and Contract Documents, except as noted by reviewer. Contractor may proceed with fabrication of work in submittal with modifications and corrections as indicated by reviewer.

C. Return one electronic copy of submittals to Contractor. Contractor shall make additional distribution as required.

D. *Submittals which do not contain markup, or which have minor markup that can be adequately described without referencing submittal, will not be returned. Reviewer will return signed submittal stamp with written description of Review’s comments.*

E. Review of submittals shall not relieve Contractor from responsibility for any variation from Contract Documents unless Contractor has, in writing, called Engineer's attention to such variation at time of submission, and Engineer has given written concurrence pursuant to Contract Documents to specific variation, nor shall any concurrence by Engineer or other reviewer relieve Contractor from responsibility for errors or omissions in submittals.
