Basis of Design and Engineering Sample Clauses

Basis of Design and Engineering. The intent of this project is to reduce the District’s utility costs and operational expenses by replacing the HVAC equipment at Lone Tree School with new high energy efficient units identified in the HVAC scope of work below. As requested, Contractor will be replacing the existing units listed below in Section 3.2 with new high efficient equipment of equal capacity. In the absence of reliable as-built drawings, these in- kind replacements are based on the assumption that the original units have been permitted, approved and installed per DSA standards and regulations and have been sized properly for the local weather conditions, current occupancy levels and space use. Unless specifically requested, it is not Contractor’s intent to re-design or to modify these systems. Unless specified otherwise, it is Contractor’s intent to maximally re-use the existing air distribution systems, rooftop units’ platforms or any pre-existing supports, electrical, gas & condensate drain connections and other existing HVAC system components. It is assumed that that these system components to be re- used are in good operational order and no repairs are needed. The new equipment, as identified below, is selected based on the energy efficiency and economic viability. These in-kind equipment replacements do not alter or affect primary or secondary structural framing members. As it has been reviewed by the licensed Structural Engineer (as required by Division of State Architect), no existing building structural elements will be affected by the replacement of HVAC units. According to State of California Division of State Architect Office of Regulation IR A-10 (Exemption from DSA Approval document, issued on 1/7/19), IR A- 22, IR 11B-6 and applicable Sections 17280-17316 of the California Education Code, this project falls into the categories of non-structural Work. This Work does not infringe on the Life Safety Systems, if any. The Work described herein is limited to HVAC systems only. It is considered maintenance related replacements that do not affect the usability of the facilities and are not structural in nature. Therefore, approval from Department of State Architect is exempted for the in-kind HVAC replacements based on the considered herein reasons. In the absence of the reliable as-built drawings, Contractor has made certain design engineering and estimating assumptions for applicable work finished prior to completion of the final engineering and construction. Though unantic...

As requested, Contractor will be replacing the existing outdated mechanical systems and system components, as shown in Work Order #3. The existing air and water distribution systems, electrical connections, and other existing HVAC systems’ components will be re-used. The Scope of Work Order #3 has been reviewed by a licensed Structural Engineer (as required by Division of State Architect) and no existing building structural elements will be affected by the replacement HVAC systems. According to State of California Division of State Architect Office of Regulation Service Policy #97-08, IR A-10 (Exemption from DSA Approval document, issued on 01/24/12) and applicable Sections 17280-17316 of the California Education Codes, this project falls into the categories of non-structural Work. This Work does not infringe on the Life Safety Systems, if any. The Work described herein is limited to HVAC systems replacement only. Therefore, approval from Department of State Architect is exempted for the HVAC replacements based on the considered herein reasons. Contractor will provide Customer with a letter from the Structural Engineer setting forth findings regarding exemption of the scope of Work in Work Order #3 from DSA review. In the absence of the reliable as-built drawings, Contractor has made certain design engineering and estimating assumptions for all work prior to completion of the final engineering and construction. Though unanticipated, there may be some changes to the scope of work based on the unknown pre-existing conditions. Should they arise; a fair and equitable solution will be negotiated in good faith between Customer and Contractor for any additional costs required. It is Contractor’s intent to maximally re-use the existing air distribution systems (ductwork and grilles), electrical connections and gas lines and other existing HVAC systems’ components. It is assumed that these system components to be re-used are in good operational order. The selections of the new HVAC equipment for rooms 301, 302 & 303 are based on the following main design parameters for the cooling/heating load calculations: • Outdoor design temperatures are (Title 24 required climate data for Willows, CA): 100° F DB / 70° F WB – Summer 28° F DB - Winter • Bldg. Structure U-values: walls – estimated for various exist...

Basis of Design and Engineering. The intent of this project is to reduce the District’s utility costs and operational expenses by replacing the existing HVAC equipment with new high energy efficient units. As requested, Contractor will be replacing the existing units listed below with new higher efficient equipment of equal capacity. These direct replacements are based on the assumption that the original units have been sized properly for the local weather conditions, current occupancy levels and space use. Unless specifically requested, it is not IES’ intent to re-design or to modify these systems. Unless specified otherwise, it is Contractor’s intent to maximally re-use the existing air distribution systems, rooftop units’ platforms, electrical, gas & condensate drain connections and other existing HVAC system components. It is assumed that that these system components to be re-used are in good operational order and no repairs are needed. The new equipment, as identified below, is selected based on the energy efficiency and economic viability. These retrofits are like-for-like equipment replacements that are not structural in nature. Contractor has provided a review by the licensed Structural Engineer (as required by Division of State Architect), stating that no existing building structural elements will be affected by the replacement HVAC systems. See Exhibit “B.” In the letter, Contractor’s structural engineer has opined that according to State of California Division of State Architect Office of Regulation Service Policy #97-08, IR 11B-6, IR A-22, and applicable Sections 17280-17316 of the California Education Code, this project falls into the categories of non-structural Work. Contractor’s structural engineer further opined that this Work does not infringe on the Life Safety Systems, if any. The Work described herein is limited to old HVAC systems replacement only. Therefore, Contractor represents that approval from Department of State Architect is exempted for the in-kind HVAC replacements based on the considered herein reasons. In the absence of the reliable as-built drawings, Contractor has made certain design engineering and estimating assumptions for all work prior to completion of the final engineering and construction.

Basis of Design and Engineering. The intent of this project is to reduce the County’s utility costs and operational expenses by replacing the existing HVAC equipment with new high energy efficient units. As requested, Contractor will be replacing the existing units listed below in Section 3.2 with new higher efficient equipment of equal capacity. These direct replacements are based on the assumption that the original units have been sized properly for the local weather conditions, current occupancy levels and space use. Unless specifically requested, it is not Contractor’s intent to re-design or to modify these systems. Unless specified otherwise, it is Contractor’s intent to maximally re-use the existing air distribution systems, rooftop units’ platforms or any pre-existing supports, electrical, gas & condensate drain connections and other existing HVAC system components. Contractor has the responsibility to ensure these system components to be re-used are in good operational order and no repairs are needed. Additionally, Contractor will inspect the work areas to ensure future equipment can be utilized with existing air distribution systems, rooftop units’ platforms or any pre-existing supports, electrical, gas & condensate drain connections and other existing HVAC system components. Inspection shall not relieve Contractor of its obligation to have furnished materials and workmanship in accordance with Contract Documents. Contractor will provide County with a list of any Unanticipated Conditions prior to ordering equipment. Parties shall work together in good faith to determine an acceptable solution that will minimize cost and schedule impact.
