a. All new fan 20x20 fan coil units w/8" behind box
b. Need to get into structure and get Tommy involved
c. May need to rethink plan for ADA units

10. New Residence Hall Issues:
a. Mech site plan is needed. Can coordinate with Elisa's Elec. Site plan as far as conduit.
b. Control, fire alarm, data, phone, elec is kept separate but can be in the same trench
for convenience. This feature diagrammatically needs to show on Mech. Dwgs. (Ken)
wants standardization and ease of maintenance. Caution: there are plenty of utilities
in the ground already in the green area. IT wants fiber to bldgs. Utility people will

conditioned water will come from the central boiler. Pei Dorms will use existing.
There is no increasing load. Gas to central water heater, (1) per new bldg. Exhaust
air will be an issue.
f. Right now there is no master panel (Ken), but there will be central control through
Autologic on the web. The same system used in Ham. Classrooms.
g. Control is Mechanical and Power to control is Electrical. Mechanical needs to specify
control wiring which does not need to be a dwg. but can be a spec on the dwg. don't
say, uSee Electrical...." Or .See Mechanical..... n this wording causes confusion.
Mech and Elec need to work together.
h. Provide two fiber optic conduits (Ken)
i. FP&L is brining in new central feeder to Ham. Center due to a damaged line. If trench
is open please add new extra conduits! (Ken) Keep elec. And comm. Lines 3' from
each other.
j. Provide floor drains in Mech. Rooms, public restrooms, water heater rooms and
laundry rooms, but not in Mech. Closets or individual bathrooms.
k. There is a limit to pipe size going through AAC of 1.5", or use 4" or joint space.
I. Water heater under the stairs is too tall (92 "). Rolando will need to provide a smaller
one or two. Gas powered, therefore louvered doors are needed here.
m. For Laundry / Kitchen lint c1eanouts are needed for dryers. Vent to roof? If washers
and dryers are switched then air can blowout front wall above doors. (4) washers on
back wall and (4) dryers on side wall. A shallow 2'-3; deep storage closet needed in
public kitchen.
n. Ash Engineering will help to coordinate utility locations previously not located via a
site visit. Need to find sewer and water lines.
o. In (2) weeks a final staking of new res. Halls. 97' off of Dort and Goldstein may save
the sewer line (instead of 87'). Still will need to relocate gas and elec.
p. (Victor) Cable trays are too much money with high ceilings you don't need them.
q. Z Bldg Mech room - if 1 hr. rating can put in a fire damper, if 2 hr rated need
something else. (Ken) want to use standard 3'-0" doors on Mech. Room, not 2'8" if
possible.. ...will need to verify with Structural to see is this can work.
r. Elevator Room changes: give each room separate access? Need to check with Otis.
(Ken) We need to get the elevator and parts from one company, not a bunch of
independent suppliers. Elisa needs cut sheets on elevators.
s. Horns and strobes needed in every bedroom and common room (ADA requirement)
(SGM)
t. Emergency light locations needed from SGM for life safety.
u. Can go with conduit instead of cable trays in VWXY open corridors (Victor)
v. (4) roof drains needed on Observatory... Bob will respond to RFI.
11. Shell Package
a. Is out for bid
b. MEP too early to add in for GMP
c. Can extend bid date for MEP's 2 or 3 weeks after mid July and not hurt schedule.
d. There will be a partial GMP for shell and general budget for MEP now.
e. SWFMD & Bldg. permits are needed signed and sealed.
12. Mechanical Clearances and Structure:
a. There is more flexibility on Int. walls with AAC for cutting holes for piping.
b. Opt. 1 - Can leave a 2' opening between AAC panels and put angles on each section
of wall and can span between panels with angle and a bar.
e. Opt. 2- A stud wall can create a wall in bathroom to run stacks / vents pipes.
d. Opt. 3 - Use a radius AAC panel but will need to make note before hand on dwgs
where these pipe locations are located which is too hard to pre-plan.
e. Can we set AAC directly on foundation and eliminate stem wall and an extra step?
Yes it's possible but it is hard to maintain flatness of slab. (Nathan)
f. A 1/2" routing can be cut into AAC to allow for conduit and 3/4 "topping applied. In
most cases though hat channel would be better solution.
g. Design for a 3' load on a 2' panel.
h. Most plumbing runs the same way as AAC panel... We will need to interface our
dwgs. with Aercon to see where piping penetrations are.
i. Move linear diffuser locations to where we have a header and below stud wall.
j. Go with a taller slatted diffuser but lessen the width. This will provide a better fit.
k. Set header height so we have enough room to get into the ceiling.
I. Aercon shop drawings should show limits so the guys in the filed know where to cut
the AAC panels; also show header details.
13. Structural Issues:
a. Major redundancy with the amount of columns. J&C will cut (7) out in each bldg.
Will poche the proper columns on the dwgs.
b. Aercon can use poured radial panels to help with the upload to the roof. Arnold will
make these changes and take off the redundant columns (see a. above)
e. There is no tie beam pour on top of AAC wall panels.
d. Sequence: put up AAC walls, pour columns, put on deck (pour deck around
steel)... .offers flexibility.
e. Make AAC panels that wrap around 16" pilaster blocks in columns bigger than
needed.
f. Bond Beam detail: Tommy will work on it.....
.
g. Use 10" WF on 2nd floor instead of 12". Use 'T' on first floor.
h. Epoxy ties AAC to foundation.
i. #6 and #7 bars are too conservative (Arnold)
j. Windows and doors openings are figure out by Aercon. There is little or no field
cutting. Some cutting will be anticipated for pricing purposes. Aercon will work with
WG Mills on this issue.
k. Too many corner columns. Aercon will provide a detail! specs to J&C.
I. There are (8) roof scuttles in VWXY, 30x36 built in closets, by Bilco. Or 24x36 custom
built are just as easy to do. There are (4) scuttles in Z. Place scuttle adjacent to wall
where ladders are located.
m. End wall gable detail is clip on panels with 2x6 stud backing (6x28")
n. Could center a roof drain in column. Stay with cone. Beams. Add floor drains in the
addendum: (2) first floor and (2) second floor. Pitch everything else to drain to edge.
o. A Helafix stainless steel 8mm utility anchor bar screw goes into AAC and can be used
in cone. With a pilot hole drilled. This bar crosses entire length of span from stem
wall to ceiling, or up to roof.
p. 8x12 steel tube needed behind curtain wall in Z
q. Z stairs need to be worked on and will be in addendum.
r. Elevator: (2) sides poured, (1) MC, (1) side brick
s. Richard Doleson declined to bid on project from Otis. Go to Bob Gerot instead.
t. Use MC block on parapet not panels
u. Can use MC block on elevator door side
v. Get an alt. price on painting
w. Expansion joint is really a contraction joint on each side of 2nd level walkway. Score a
joint in topping.
x. 6" floor panel on balconies and walkways not 10" or 12"
y. How is cornice applied? Fiber reinforced concrete - no details yet. Can also use foam
cornice system.
z. A presentation is needed for Integral Colored Stucco. Water integrity?
aa. Wood trusses need some to fabricate the custom truss. (4) companies are looking at
it (MV). Sprinkler piping needs to be close to truss.
bb. By next Thurs, a set of structural drawings needed signed and sealed, (1) set a priority
but a total of (8) sets S&S are needed for permit.
14. July 14 is the final set due date.
15. Pei AlC units can now be ordered. (Rolando)
16. Replace ballasts and re-Iamp lights in Pei (Ken) - Mayas well buy new ones!
17. Take condensate to storm drains
'18. Bob needs to confirm # of beds with a letter in rooms to Ken for Dean of Students by next
Wed. (7/5/06)
19. (4) pipe system runs chilled and hot in sleeves in Pei. Insulate down to the tunnel. Need to
cut a new core for fire risers.
20. Copper piping final opinion? Everyone says it looks good. Ken needs this approval in writing
from the architect or engineer.
21. Structure block in Pei? Pat needs to open it up and let Tommy have a look to see if we need
plates. If there is a pour beam - we do nothing. If there is block then we can do something.
