STATEMENT OF WORK ABSTRACT

Northwest Fisheries Science Center

Montlake Campus Capital Renovation Project

Background Information:

1.1 Site Background

The Montlake Campus in Seattle WA is the headquarters for the Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWC), one of 6 regional science centers across the country for NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service. The approximate 5-acre campus houses several buildings totaling approximately 125K GSF and supports cutting edge fisheries and marine science in support of the nation’s vast commercial fishing stocks and industry.

The original building was completed in 1931 as the first government laboratory dedicated to the study of living marine resources on the West Coast. Other buildings were completed between 1956 and 2007.

Many systems, equipment and assemblies are from the original construction date and/or are beyond their functional life, and the campus is in need of a comprehensive renovation in order for the NWC to continue to meet its congressionally mandated mission.

1.2 Location and Site Map

1.3 General Project Background

NOAA is planning on a capital renovation project of the Montlake Laboratory Campus with a project budget of between $50M and $70M. The objective is to complete all code required improvements (seismic-structural upgrades, fire and life safety, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work) such that no additional capital level investments are required for at least another 20 years. Section 2.2 includes a table of anticipated MEP improvements to be made.

In addition to this code required work, NOAA hopes to complete renovations and reconfigurations to improve the efficiency and utilization of the campus. In 2020, NOAA completed an analysis of the site that identified a surplus of lab space (+5,500 NSF), and a deficiency of office/ admin (-7,100 NSF) and shop/storage space (-11,100 NSF). Examples of this work include consolidating lab and office space for higher utilization rates and allowing for more space where there are deficiencies.

Some of the current program space will be moving to an alternative NMFS site at the Manchester Research Campus. This may open up more space to be reconfigured to meet the deficiencies identified in 2020.

The project will be completed while the site is occupied, and may require phasing to allow the NWC to swing program space to other locations on campus or to off-campus sites. Additionally, the project will be completed while the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) completes a rebuild of the adjacency highway 520.

NOAA plans to complete a phase 1 analysis of the site to determine the full scope of work for this phase 2 design-build delivery.

Project Overview

2.1 Goals and Objectives

● Invest in strategic renovations to allow the NWC to continue science and operations at Montlake for another 20 years without another significant capital investment.

● Address all critical life safety and code required deficiencies.

● Consolidate lab and office space to increase utilization rates and increase overall program support.

● Complete all work while the NWC occupies the campus and maintains operations and science.

2.2 Scope of work

Though the detailed scope of work is unknown at this time, and won't be known until the phase-1 assessment is complete, it is anticipated that the following scopes of work will be included:

Building Trade Area Existing System & Deficiency/ Condition

Anticipated scope of work for Phase-2 design-build contract

West Building

Conveyance (Elevator)

Existing elevator is past useful service life and in need of replacement.

Westinghouse pulley system. Original from 1930s. Serves 3 levels.

Passenger rated to 1,800 lbs.

Design and build a new elevator system, demo old

East Building

Conveyance (Elevator)

Existing elevator is past useful service life and in need of replacement. Serves 4 levels. Control panel has evidence of overheating. Restricted currently to freight loads (asked staff not to use).

Elevator does not land where it should.

Some drops reported. Hydraulic cylinder elevator. Rated to 5000 lbs.

Design and build a new elevator system, demo old

West Building

Electrical Some of this equipment is original and beyond its service life.

TBD - possibly replace aging infrastructure.

TBD - possibly replace aging infrastructure.

Center Building (Library)

Electrical Some of this equipment is original and beyond its service life.

TBD - possibly replace aging infrastructure.

Aqua Lab Electrical panel boards, main lugs, breakers, branch wiring, lighting, emergency lighting, grounding, TBD - possibly replace aging infrastructure.

General Site Electrical Currently no sub-metering. Existing 350 amp generator is over 30 years old and does not automatically shut down once normal power is restored.

Services the outbuildings (not whole campus). It's getting more difficult to find parts and specialist who can perform repairs and maintenance on it (e.g., tune-up, load test, etc.).

Originally installed 1996. A new ATS for this generator is being installed currently.

TBD - possibly replace aging infrastructure.

West Building

Fire Protection Systems

Currently has alarm but no sprinkler system.

TBD - possibly to include adding new sprinkler system.

East Building

TBD - possibly install new sprinkler system

Pilot Plant Fire Protection Systems

Currently there is no fire alarm/ sprinkler system

TBD - possibly install new alarm & sprinkler system.

Aqua Lab Fire Protection Systems

Currently there is no fire alarm/ sprinkler system

TBD - possibly install new alarm & sprinkler system.

General Site Fire Protection Systems

Unknown capacity for additional fire protection systems.

TBD - possibly improve overall pressure to accommodate new sprinkler systems.

West Building

Mechanical Mechanical system (heating and cooling) is past its useful service life.

The building is relying on an old steam system for heating. Steam boiler was upgraded last in early 1990's. Building needs AC (e.g., variable refrigerant system), ventilation, hot water temperature control valves, and BAS integration.

Design and build a new HVAC system, demo old

East Building

Mechanical Difficult to control temp in labs with existing system from intense solar gain

- especially at south and east facing labs. Lab exhaust systems not tie into a central system with static flow.

Boilers possibly oversized.

TBD - possibly design and install new centralized lab exhaust system, replace boilers, remove and dispose of window AC units, and install demand based ventilation system.

Center Building (Library)

Mechanical Currently no cooling or ventilation system, and sometimes inadequate heating with existing system. Existing

TBD - possibly install new HVAC equipment heating has 4 AHUs.

West Building

Other Envelope

Rats are able to infiltrate the envelope at various points.

Design and install solution.

West Building

Other Envelope

3 ADA doors have operators non working

Replace existing doors

East Building

Other Envelope

Loading dock doors and maintenance exterior door have a lot of movement.

This presents a security issue. 3 ADA doors have operators that don't work.

Replace poor functioning doors.

South Building

Other Envelope

1 ADA door operator not functioning Replace poor functioning doors.

General Site Paving and Flatwork

Alligator cracking evident in many places at site paving. Approximately 200K of area to repave.

TBD - possibly repave 200K of area.

Pilot Plant Specialty Equipment (Seawater, etc.)

walk-in freezer box and chiller. This is a 3-compartment walk-in freezer with 3 different sets of temperature (2, -5, and -20 degree C). The coldest freezer compartment (-20 degree C) has a moisture leak and often interferes with the AHU deicing cycle. All 3 chiller systems are more than 15 years old and often breakdown. Parts are becoming more difficult to find.

TBD - possibly install new freezer if need remains after program moves to Manchester.

East Building

Windows and Fenestration

The windows are original single-pane units, which are not energy-efficient and do not effectively reduce noise from the adjacent SR520.

Replace existing windows.

Center Building (Library)

Windows and Fenestration

The windows are original single-pane units, which are not energy-efficient and do not effectively reduce noise from the adjacent SR520.

Replace existing windows.

South Building

Windows and Fenestration

Current windows are double-pane. Possibly replace existing windows.

In addition to these MEP requirements, it is possible that the project will also include:

- Structural upgrades to the West, Center and East building. These were all built pre-1970 and likely need code required upgrades.

- Architectural reconfiguration to the existing buildings. The full nature and extent of these will not be known until the phase 1 assessment is completed, but examples may include:

- Reconfiguration of the Center Building (Library) into open-office work space;

- Consolidation and renovation of existing labs to reduce the overall lab space footprint;

- Reconfiguration of some of the buildings to the south (Aqua Lab, Behavior Lab, Engineering building) to support storage or shop space.
