PART 1 – GENERAL

ITEM 1 - DESCRIPTION OF WORK

1.1 Background: The goal of the project is to design replacement fan coil units and valves that are reaching the end of their normal service life expectancy within an existing six floor building. The valves are corroded, leaking, and damaging interior finishes. Without proper functioning units and conditioned air, there is risk of exposing museum collections to potential damages. The new units shall meet the existing and future needs at FILA Research Center. The existing Trane units provide heating and air conditioning to all 5 floors of the building. Isolation valves on the first, fifth, and sixth floors to be replaced within the base bid scope with bid options provided to replace fan-coil units on the fifth and sixth floors and a final bid option to replace the isolation valves throughout the remainder of the building. The new HVAC system shall be upgraded to be in compliance with NFPA, NEC, and State of Ohio requirements respectively.

1.2 Work Covered by the Contract Documents:

A. Project Location: First Ladies National Historic Site, 205 Market Avenue South, Canton, Ohio, 44702-2107

B. Work consists of:

a. Base bid proposes new isolation valves on the existing heating water and chilled water piping systems for each fan coil on the first, fifth, and sixth floors.

b. Bid Option 1 proposes the replacement of eleven (11) fan coil units on the sixth floor with new piping accessories and control valves with new controls connections to be integrated into the existing building management BAS.

c. Bid Option 2 proposes the replacement of eleven (11) fan coil units on the fifth floor with new piping accessories and control valves with new controls connections to be integrated into the existing building management BAS.
