To ensure such executions, Contractor shall furnish the COR with a schedule of approximate phasing with dates on which the Contractor intends to accomplish work in each specific area of site, building or portion thereof. In addition, Contractor shall notify the COR two weeks in advance of the proposed date of starting work in each specific area of site, building or portion thereof. Arrange such phasing dates to ensure accomplishment of this work in successive phases mutually agreeable to Medical Center Director, COR and Contractor, as follows:

Phase 1000:

Attic and Roof

• This will be demolition and prework on the attic and roof and preparing for the HVAC work. Weekend or after-hours work cannot be supported by the facility throughout the job.

• Contractor to measure existing main SA, RA and EA air flows and corresponding static pressures diff at the fans prior to demolition.

The measured values will be used to balance the new AHU-3-2 (which will serve as the temporary AHU).

• Due to the amount of material to be demolished on the roof and wood substrate/structure to be replaced, it is expected that there will be a large amount of noise carried through the windows and ceilings for everyone in the building. There will also be some structural work prior to Phase 1001 starting that will provide supports for the future AHUs in the attic. Some loud noise can be expected with this.

• ACM and Lead Paint Removal Work will take place during this phase in the Attic and Basement and on the Exterior.

• Coordinate completion of roof, dormer, downspout, c.i. boot connections to existing rainwater collection system with mechanical work.

01 00 00 -7

Phase 1001:

Attic

• Install AHU-3-2, corresponding OA and relief ducts.

• Provide temporary SA duct from AHU-3-2 to the existing 16" dia. SA duct riser at col grid D11 but do not connect yet.

• Provide temporary RA ductwork from AHU-3-2 to existing 24x12 ra riser but do not connect yet.

• Connect temporary CHW hose from the existing riser near col grid D11 to

AHU-3-2.

• Then disconnect that existing CHW riser from its existing connection to the CHW main.

• As for heating HW use the temporary HW hoses to bring Heating HW to the attic.

Phase 1002:

The electrical work of getting the power to the attic must be completed by phase 1002. This will also necessitate some floor penetrations on each floor with accompanying noise to get to the attic from the basement.

Attic

• Connect new EA ducts to the existing main EA ducts.

• Connect temporary SA duct from AHU-3-2 to the existing 16" dia SA duct riser at col grid D11.

Phase 1003:

Attic

• Complete the Demo of attic except for the existing CHW risers near col grid D11.

3rd Floor

• Ceiling slab penetration is required near column D3 to pick up existing

EA duct riser serving 3rd, 2nd and 1st floor.

• Balance AHU-3-2 to serve the areas renovated and the existing floors below. Remove temporary portable heaters on the East side rooms.

• Punchout space and move people and equipment back into the workspace.

2nd Floor

• Ceiling slab penetration is required near column D3 to pick up existing

EA duct riser serving 2nd and 1st floor.

Phase 1006:
