Building 3, Bay 3, New HVAC and Renovations

The purpose of this project is to renovate Bay 3 in Building 3, at the Tobyhanna Army Depot, Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania from what was originally designed and used as a warehouse space for the storage of Army equipment and supplies to an electronics mission work area. The Bay 3 design includes an area for numerous bench top work surfaces with a renovated compressor room and a new two story modular office block. This includes offices for the division and branch chiefs with conference rooms and staff rooms to support each level. There will be a lunch break area, mini computer stations and a locker area on the east side of the bay. An open shipping area will occupy the northwest corner of the repair floor.  The general scope of the project includes an upgrade to the compressed air system. This scope also includes a new HVAC system, and new 277V lighting layout. The removal of the existing hanging light fixtures will include the removal of lighting ballasts and lamps containing PCB's and Mercury.  All deactivated utilities will be removed and the walls will be cleaned of existing debris. The walls will be furred out with steel studs, filled with insulation batts and covered with gypsum board to be painted. All existing ACM in wall, floor and ceiling tile and the existing sliding fire doors will be abated. New aluminum and glass bi-parting sliding doors will be mounted on one side of the firewall and a steel, 2hr. roll-up fire door will be mounted on the other. These will be located at each driveway opening. The bottom of the roof deck will get three coats of paint. All exposed structural steel and supporting members will be painted. All structural steel within the building, fire doors and door jambs between the bays contain lead based paint. Occupational Safety and Health Administration Standards must be followed when these structures are disturbed or modified. These new renovations will also include a daylight harvesting system in which the daylight from new skylights in the roof are used to help light the interior of the bay for a savings on lighting operating costs. There will also be "power columns" built on the repair floor that contain service hook-ups, fed from above and down through the column with connections at the face for usage at the repair benches. These columns are to contain a high and low pressure compressed air connection at each column face that is to be connected for use at each bench. These columns will also have 120V power that will power two benches per power circuit. There will be 10 communication and data outlets for every 4 repair benches. The floors will have the cracks filled. A regular epoxy floor finish and an ESD Type epoxy floor will be put down in the required areas to complete the manufacturing space.
