Re: HVAC Study and "-4sign Drawings
for the Boiler Rei cement
March 27, 1998
We anticipate the scope of work on this project to be as follows:
A. Studv Phase:
Review the original design drawings for the building. We assume that the
City will provide architectural and mechanical design drawings.
2. Run a heating and cooling simulation for the HVAC systems in the building.
This will allow us to evaluate the effect of various energy upgrades.
3. Produce an HVAC "evaluation report with comments regarding potential
upgrades to the cooling plant, heating plant, fan systems, zoning, and
general system design. Recommendations will be made including cost
estimates and potential energy savings.
4. Evaluate the heating loads for the building and use these calculations to size
the new boiler. A report will be prepared to make recommendations about
the type of boilers that we are suggesting. At least two or three best boiler
alternatives will be offered for consideration.
B. Desian Phase:
1. After the City chooses the boiler which they prefer, we will create drawings,
details, and specifications for bid taking.
2. The electrical loads will be indicated on our drawings but no electrical design
drawings will be provided.
3. Design of asbestos removal is not included by Lefler Engineering.
4. Provide Title 24 energy calculations for permit purposes.
C. Construction Phase:
1. Review of the contractors' submittals.
2. Responses to the contractors' questions.
3. Inspections during construction including punch list reports.
4. Final inspection and punch list report including a recommendation for
acceptance by the City.
