PART B- PROJECT INFORMATION

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The goal of the project is to renovate an existing space located inside a warehouse to provide office spaces for the Division of Gulf Operations of the U.S. Department of Transportation Maritime Administration.

EXISTING CONDITIONS

PDG Architects conducted a site visit Thursday, February 3, 2022, to visually investigate existing conditions of the space and to acquire measurements of the space using a laser scanner.

Subsequent trips have been taken to review the existing conditions in more detail.

PRE-ALTERATION ASSESSMENT OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

An existing asbestos/ lead/ PCB’s containing materials survey for the space has been completed by PSI. The report is included in the specifications. The survey revealed that there is lead based paint in the building and that the floor tiles on the first and second floors contain ACMs.

The design team anticipates all materials containing hazardous materials will be removed from the site during demolition activities for this project. All hazardous material handling will have to be done by specialized subcontractors, and in conformance with all local and federal regulations.

HISTORICAL PRESERVATION

After discussions with SHPO and the GSA Historic Team, the building is not of historic significance nor registered on the National Registry of Historic Places.

EXISTING CONDITIONS

Area to be occupied by the Gulf Operations of MARAD is a two-story enclosed space located in the north-eastern corner of a wharf warehouse on the north bank of the Mississippi River.

STRUCTURE

The structure of the warehouse building is composed of steel columns, steel trusses and plywood roof deck. Structural elements appeared to be in sound condition.

Structural elements supporting the second floor of the office space appear to be round steel columns supporting wide flange steel beams supporting wood joists with wood decking. These elements are currently partially enclosed in partitions and ceiling finishes on the first floor.

The structural engineer reviewed the condition of the wood structure and stated it appears to be structurally sound. However all of the first floor ceiling materials need to be removed to expose the wood joists to look for any damage that needs to be repaired.

ACESSIBILITY AND EGRESS

The first floor of the office space is elevated 6” above adjacent warehouse floor, and 12” above the structural concrete wharf deck abutting the building. Currently the access to the first floor is via concrete steps that do not meet accessibility guidelines. Ramps with guardrails will have to be added at the entrances into the first-floor office space to make the space handicap- accessible.

June 22, 2023 Page 5

Access to the second floor from the first is through an interior stair that does not meet current life safety codes. An outdoor metal ladder serves as a second means of egress from the second floor. This ladder is rusting and its guardrails do not meet current codes.

ENVELOPE

The office space is currently separated from the warehouse by partial height plaster walls. These appeared to be original to the building. Walls were made of a layer of plaster on metal lath on both sides of steel channels. Single pane steel windows were installed in these plaster walls. On the second floor wood framed ceilings once present have been removed.

The envelope enclosing the office space appears structurally sound, but it does not meet current energy codes and will have to be upgraded with continuous insulation and a continuous air barrier. All fenestration and doors that are part of the envelope will have to be upgraded to meet current energy standards.

INTERIOR FINISHES AND FIXTURES

All interior finishes and fixtures are aging and will be demolished.

PART C- ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

EXTERIOR

EXTERIOR FINISHES

The tenant has requested an upgrade to the exterior of the building. The entry R panel and fiberglass cladding will be removed and replaced with new exterior metal studs with insulated cavity with treated plywood sheathing and an applied air barrier. The exterior finish will be a combination of wood siding, brick, and metal. The same treatment will be wrapped on the side of the building at the new exit.

New thermally broken fixed and single hung windows will be installed.

EXTERIOR WAREHOUSE FINISHES

The existing plaster/stud walls will be enclosed with new exterior metal studs with insulated cavity with treated plywood sheathing and an applied air barrier. The exterior finish of the warehouse facade will be a combination of wood siding and brick.

New thermally broken fixed and single hung windows will be installed.

The existing west wall of the warehouse will be insulated with rigid insulation to create a semi conditioned space for utilities and infrastructure.

ACCESSIBILITY

Ramps are provided at the access doors to the first floor, in compliance with accessibility guidelines.

Design of the new interior first floor space layout is compliant with accessibility rules. However the second floor is not accessible, but equal facilities are provided on the first floor.

EGRESS

New layout developed for this phase indicates a new access door on the north wall, directly from outside of the building, per discussions with MARAD representatives during the kick-off meeting. A secondary egress door is placed on the south -west corner of the office, exiting into the warehouse.

Access to the second floor will be though a new code-compliant staircase enclosed with new 1-hour fire rated walls. The proposed layout shows a single means of egress from the second floor, for an occupant load of the second floor of maximum 49 people. A maximum capacity sign will be posted for the second floor.

INTERIOR

INTERIOR FINISHES

Remaining perimeter plaster walls will have to be furred out with gypsum board on metal studs to allow concealed installation of electrical and communication conduits.

New interior walls will consist of typical metal studs and gypsum board walls. Wood doors with hollow metal frames and sidelights will be installed. Interior glazed partitions for conference rooms are proposed.

New finishes will be installed throughout. Anticipated finishes are typical of an office environment:

carpet tiles, luxury vinyl tile, painted gypsum board walls, plastic laminate cabinetry with solid surface counters, porcelain tile for the wet floor and wall areas in the restrooms and showers. Moisture content of the first-floor slab will have to be evaluated for the suitability of installation of glued down finishes.

June 22, 2023 Page 7

Treatment of the first ceilings will pose some challenges, due to the low head heights below the structural elements. Gypsum board dropped ceilings are scheduled to hide the HVAC ductwork. Where possible the ceilings will be attached to the existing wood decking, elsewhere lay-in ceilings will be added held as close as possible to the existing joisrs.

EXISTING ROOF TREATMENT

Closed cell foam insulation will sprayed to the underside of the roof deck to meet current energy codes.

The insulation will be finished with a fire code compliant colored spray foam. Steel trusses and purlins running through the second floor of the space will be painted and left exposed.

SYSTEMS, EQUIPEMENT AND FURNITURE

All equipment and furniture are anticipated to be moved from the current lease in the Hale Boggs Federal Building.

A new access control system per MARAD’s specifications will be installed.

New data cables and fiber will be brought to the proposed LAN room from the demarcation point.

Contractor will install raceways and MARAD will install equipment and pull cables.

SUSTAINABILITY

LEED

The project will not seek LEED certification; however, incorporating in the design sustainability guidelines described in the LEED certification system is highly desirable to MARAD. The design team will focus on optimization of energy performance of the space, reduction of potable water consumption, and enhancing the indoor air quality environment per LEED guidelines. Interior finishes with recycled content and low VOC’s will be specified. GSA’s sustainability requirements will be incorporated in the project specifications. The contractor will be required to divert minimum 50% of the waste from landfill, green purchasing measures will be adopted.

PART D- MEP DESIGN NARRATIVE

MECHANICAL SYSTEMS

PROPOSED MECHANICAL DESIGN

The existing HVAC systems serving the building will be removed in their entirety. The renovated building will be served by a new, high efficiency, variable refrigerant flow (VRF) heat pump system.

The second floor will be served by (1) 5-ton vertical air handling unit and the first floor with (1) 6-ton vertical air handling unit, both with ducted supply and return. Each indoor unit will be served by a dedicated heat pump located inside the warehouse on the river side of the building with bollard protection. The VRF system will be equipped with a direct digital control system capable of both local and remote web-based access. Remote access will be subject to the agency’s LAN access restrictions.

The bathrooms will be exhausted via individual fans equipped with motion control sensors to limit the operation time.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

EXISTING CONDITIONS

The primary electrical service voltage is 480 volt, 3 phase. An existing transformer steps down the voltage to 208Y/120 supplied to this space. A 150KW diesel generator and 400 amp main service disconnect and automatic transfer switch provide standby back-up power.

The existing electrical infrastructure (including panels and equipment serving other areas/buildings) is located on the front (west) face of the building.

Aside from the main electrical panel and upstream components, all existing electrical systems, devices, fixtures, and related electrical within the scope area are to be demolished.

PROPOSED ELECTRICAL DESIGN

All existing electrical infrastructure serving the tenant space is to be demolished. A new 480V panel, 480Y/120V transformer, and 208Y/120V panel are to be installed to serve the tenant electrical loads.

The 480V panel will be served from a new 150A/3P breaker in the existing generator distribution panel, meaning the entirety of the tenant space will be served by the existing diesel generator. Generator capacity to serve this space was confirmed by the Beaumont Fleet electricians on a recent site investigative visit. All new electrical panels/equipment are to be located in the dedicated tenant electrical room.

New branch circuit conductors shall be copper, #12 minimum and run in metal conduit, type EMT indoors and rigid galvanized steel outdoors.

Duplex receptacles shall be 20 ampere grounding type. Ground fault circuit interrupting (GFCI) type devices (20 A) shall be installed where required by NEC.

All known equipment (refrigerators, microwaves, copiers, etc.) shall have dedicated 20 amp, 120 volt receptacles, or as required by equipment specifications.

A 4”x4” square box shall be provided for each communications outlet and a 3/4” conduit shall be routed from box to above accessible ceilings. Where accessible ceilings are not present, rigid conduit shall be neatly routed back to destination and painted to match ceiling.

Any new lighting will be LED and associated wiring shall be in conduit, type EMT.

June 22, 2023 Page 10

Occupancy sensors shall be provided in all offices, restrooms, and closets. Corridors and assembly areas shall include “sweep off” lighting controls for after-hours control of the areas.

Emergency lighting shall be designed in all paths of egress, in assembly areas, in group restrooms, and interior areas without natural illuminations. The emergency lighting shall be designed to provide at least 1 foot-candle average and at any point not less than .1 foot-candle. A maximum to minimum illumination uniformity ratio of 40 to 1 shall not be exceeded per NFPA 101 7.9.2.1. Exterior exit points shall have emergency lighting. Battery back-up shall be provided for emergency fixtures.

Contractor will provide raceway for data and fiber to be pulled by DOT. The demarcation point is located at the northwest corner of the warehouse.

Two 4” capped conduit sleeves will be provided in the tenant electrical room to below the wharf to intercept for future solar power scope.

PLUMBING SYSTEMS

PROPOSED PLUMBING DESIGN

The existing plumbing systems will be replaced in their entirety up to the point of connection to the existing lift station, which shall remain. The domestic water system shall be connected to the existing domestic water main on the east side of the warehouse and to the extent possible the new plumbing run on the exterior of the building as is currently the case. A new tank type electric water heater will be provided for the shower and point of use electric water heaters for all lavatories and sinks. All domestic water piping will be insulated copper.

The sanitary waste piping will be run beneath the wharf and connected to the existing lift station. All new piping above the wharf will be solid wall PVC and the piping below the wharf will be schedule 80 solid wall PVC for improved damage resistance. The sanitary waste above the wharf shall be run on the exterior of the building.

All new plumbing fixtures will be commercial grade with low consumption solid brass trim. Unless directed otherwise all fixtures will be manual operated.

The abandoned air compressor system shall be removed.

1Site Design Guidelines

This document describes how to design a project site for the ChargePoint® CT4000 networked charging station for electric vehicles. This includes guidelines and best practices for electrical infrastructure and capacity planning, construction and concrete work required prior to installation of charging stations, and cellular signal requirements.

For full specifications and certifications for CT4000 charging stations, refer to the CT4000 Data Sheet found online at: chargepoint.com/products/guides.

Initial Site Guidelines ChargePoint recommends that you plan to install charging stations for 5-10% of parking spaces at commercial buildings, or 10-20% for high EV adoption areas like California. Designing electrical infrastructure to support current and future needs for EV charging helps avoid costly upgrades later as demands for EV charging grows.

Electrical Requirements

An onsite evaluation is needed to determine conduit and wiring requirements from the panel to the proposed parking spaces, construction and concrete requirements for mounting the charging stations, as well as to measure cellular signal levels and identify suitable locations for any necessary cellular signal booster equipment.

Review the CT4000 Data Sheet at chargepoint.com/products/guides.

Each Level 2 charging port requires:

• a dedicated single-phase electrical circuit (32 A at 208/240 V).

• a new dual pole breaker 40 A circuit breaker at the electrical panel. (Used breakers can damage equipment and cause a fire risk.)

• Conductor wiring sized in accordance with the National Electric Code requirement for 125% capacity for continuous load for all branch circuits from panel to stations via raceway or conduit.

Consequently, a CT4000 charging station with two charge ports requires two circuits and two new dual pole 40 A circuit breakers. If power capacity is limited at a site or to reduce costs for electrical infrastructure, consider ChargePoint Power Management options for power sharing at the circuit level, panel level, transformer, or site level.

Cellular Connectivity

The CT4000 charging station needs strong cellular connectivity to allow ChargePoint to communicate with the station. A connection is needed for station owners and operators to access these features:

• User authentication, access control, and billing

• Energy usage reporting

• Charging station utilization and charging session details for analytical reporting

• Real-time charging status to drivers using the ChargePoint mobile app or web portal

• Ability for drivers to use the ChargePoint mobile app and Tap to Charge, Apple Pay, or Android Pay on their smartphone to start and stop sessions

• Text or email notifications to drivers when vehicle battery is full or stops charging

• Notifications to drivers prior to pricing increases for overstay of parking at EV spots

• Station fault alarms and remote diagnostic capability

• Over-the-air software upgrades for new station features or enhancements

If you have preexisting infrastructure or are using your own preferred electrical contractor to prepare your site, a Site Validation by a ChargePoint Operations and Maintenance (O&M) partner is required to certify compliance with electrical specification requirements, and to ensure everything was prepared to ChargePoint specifications.

Charging Station Placement To help minimize costs, choose station locations that are as close as possible to the available electrical infrastructure. Selecting these types of locations helps minimize long conduit and wire runs, as well as any trenching work.

Layout Considerations

• Identify station locations for EV charging spots.

• To help minimize costs, choose station locations that are as close as possible to the available electrical infrastructure.

• Consider locations where it will be easy to add future stations.

Important: Always check local codes or consult an engineer to ensure the site is prepared in compliance with all applicable regulations. Local authorities might not allow a unit to operate if it is not installed to code.

WARNING: The ChargePoint Charging Station must be installed on a level concrete base or attached to a flat wall. Asphalt cannot support the full weight of the Charging Station.

Failure to install the ChargePoint Charging Station on a level concrete base or a flat wall may cause the Charging Station to tip over, resulting in death, personal injury, or property damage.

• Consider how easily drivers can find the stations they need to access.

• Identify suitable locations with smooth, plumb surfaces for wall mount stations or suitable floor surfaces for pedestal mount stations.

• Determine raceway or conduit runs for electrical wiring from the electrical panel. Consider a layout to minimize linear conduit costs to all proposed EV parking spaces. If possible, avoid or minimize trenching requirements, especially more costly trenching to run conduit under asphalt surfaces.

• Consider ADA compliance. The charging station should not block ramps or pathways and the bottom of the screen cannot be more than 48 inches above the level of the parking stall.

• Choose adjacent parking spaces in an area with adequate lighting.

• For stall parking, ChargePoint prefers using perpendicular parking stalls to better accommodate EVs with front and rear charge ports.

Note: While ChargePoint tests charging stations with a majority of upcoming vehicles, ChargePoint cannot guarantee the port locations of future vehicles and cannot warrant the configurations proposed will work for all vehicles.

• Use dual-port pedestal mount stations where possible in open areas for adjacent parking or adjoining parking spaces.

• Consider protective bollards and wheel blocks where appropriate, especially for open tandem parking spaces.

Electrical Considerations

• Evaluate existing electrical infrastructure to determine if the existing utility service and electrical panel capacity is sufficient. Ensure the electrical wiring, overcurrent circuit protection, and metering (if required) is in place by reviewing the data sheet, as well as the wiring diagram and grounding requirements in this document.

• Ensure the electrical wiring, overcurrent circuit protection, and metering (if required) is in place by reviewing the data sheet, as well as the wiring diagram and grounding requirements in this document.

• Ensure that you use 16 mm2 (6 AWG) or 10 mm2 (8 AWG) wire to the station. If you will be feeding the station with larger wire (like 25 mm2 (4 AWG), you will need to splice the wire for 16 mm2 (6 AWG) or 10 mm2 (8 AWG). For each charging port, only three wires are required: L1, L2, and Ground. For dual port stations, only five wires are required as both ports share the same Ground wire.

Note: Neutral must be bonded to Ground upstream at the transformer or panel for each separately derived system.

• Identify costs for any necessary upgrades and/or a new dedicated electrical panel.
