Project Description
This project involves replacing all components and sections of each of the air-handling units; performance hall AHU (S-1) and classroom AHU (S-2) and their supporting equipment, piping, and controls. Each supply fan is anticipated to be retained as they appear in useful condition. Proper function for the building requires both temperature and humidity control. Humidification is currently absent but is warranted and critical for this facility. Preheating/reheating of air supply needs to be upgraded to hot water-glycol as well. Cooling coils have corroded at the fin to tube bond surface such that the cooling performance cannot meet today's needs. Unit casings have rusted through and will catastrophically impact the academic mission when they fail.
This project includes a Project Labor Agreement that will be executed between the lowest responsible/responsive bidder and the East Central Illinois Building and Construction Trades Council. A copy of the Project Labor Agreement is included in the Project Bid Documents, General Project Requirements.
