In this project, the existing air handling units to be removed are addressed as ACUs, the new units will be addressed as AHUs. ACU replacement project will occur within four mechanical equipment rooms and will be staged over a single construction period to allow temporary cooling and time for the relocation of collections if necessary. The intent of the replacement is to address consolidation of current systems, as well as future support of expanded research and conservation areas on the 4th and 5th floors. Intent of the equipment replacement is to meet conservation standards for climate control.

2.3 Temporary cooling shall be provided, to maintain temperature and humidity on the collection storage spaces throughout the construction period, in accordance with the locations and parameters set out in the Construction Documents. The Contractor shall submit shop drawings and calculations of the temporary systems for approval. All temporary equipment shall be purchased and turned over to SI upon decommissioning.

Intent of suggested phasing plan is to utilize temporary equipment for Phase 1 then move the same equipment into different positions for Phase 2. For this reason, only two mechanical rooms on the 4th floor can be shut down at one time. The phasing and logisics plan indicates that two rooms on the East or West wing would be sequenced together to take so that only (1) of the buildings (2) freight elevators could be dedicated to the construction effort. AE after discussion with SI and could be changed in consultation with COTR if the contractor recommends a different phasing/logistics plan.
