Facility/Build ing Description :

Selection Type: 0Small Contract 0 Emergency Services ®Best Interest of the State

Reason for Selection Method:

Office of the Architect will be remodeling the auditorium to be used by the Senate during the Capitol North Wing Renovations. The Senate is scheduled to begin using this space in October of 2022. This gives us a very short window for design of the new system and implentation of work required to replace the current air handler which is past its useful lifespan and has become unreliable. SOS needs to get an A/E under contract immediately to get design so it ca n be bid and all work can be completed by the deadline. Berners Shober has proven to be execellent in HVAC design and is very familiar with the Howlett Building's systems.

The Howlett Bu ild ing is a three part buiding with the original portion built in 1918, the second addition in the late 1920s and the thi rd addition in the 1960s. The Auditorium and its HVAC compenents are original to the 1960s addition.

Scope of Work:

Design and manage the insta ll of new air conditioning systems for the Howlett Auditorium.
