Project Description:

The project scope is a new addition to the existing building for an assembly space with restrooms, storage, required detention pond, and parking lot addition with fire lane striping.

 

Project Scope:

This change investment is required to complete the remaining scope by demolishing and reinstalling duct & insulation required for 9th zone.

Additional Scope of Work Includes:

                     Approved Change Orders - demo & reinstall ducts, install additional downspouts, install expansion joints & louvers, add ADA ramp, add 2 additional water lines - $140,515

                     Estimated work to rebuild air handler with a 9th Zone - $219,485

Justification:

Not funding the additional commercial paper for this project would lead to inability to complete the project scope required for a complete and useable product. The new Zone 9 would be without HVAC.

Alternatives and Engagement:

No viable alternatives. Any technical alternatives would require additional commercial paper.
