This project will install a new air handling unit (AHU), and construct two new dormers in the existing attic space locate on the 6th floor of the building. The AHU will be furnished by the Owner. The contractor will be responsible for installation and warranty of the unit. This work will integrate with a recent project on the 5th floor of Building 908 (College of Medicine West). For that reason, the AHU must be functional no later than January 15, 2021. It is expected that construction on the remainder of the project will continue until substantial completion. The demolition scope of work includes removal of the existing air handling unit, associated ductwork, electrical and ventilation systems, portions of the existing roof and structure to accommodate the new dormers, and portions of the 5th floor ceiling in buildings 908 and 909. New work will include the installation of a new air handling unit (AHU), provided by the Owner, electrical work and control wiring from a local distribution panel in the attic space of Building 909, associated ductwork in Buildings 908 and 909 that will serve the 5th floor spaces. In addition, two new dormers will be constructed in Building 909, and fire alarm and lighting will be re-installed on the 5th floor of buildings 908 and 909.
This Project is located at: 6th Floor penthouse of the 909 building located at 1853 W. Polk. The new
ductwork will need to connect via the 6th floor to the 908 building located at 1819 W. Polk.
