Window Installation - RAL North - Beginning March 30


*BEING SENT ON BEHALF OF SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC*


Attention All in RAL North:

This email serves as a notification to request permission to begin the installation of windows on all floors of Roger Adams Laboratory North (please see attached drawing mark-ups). Schneider Electric is requesting this work to be performed beginning March 30th, 2019 with a mock up in Rm. 112A. . The start times of the subcontractor will be at 7 am through 3 pm Monday-Friday. Due to the fact that different windows were ordered at different times, the windows will be shipped out to the site on three different dates. This initial schedule shows the window that will be installed on the first two trucks. The first two trucks will be delivered the week of 3/23/20 and week of 4/20/20. The windows that are not highlighted and are grey in color on the elevation plans are windows that were a part of a change order. These windows will not be delivered until the week of 5/18/20. Three months prior to the installation, a detailed schedule like the one we are presenting for the first two trailers will be provided. *Please Note*: these dates are subject to change based on our ability to coordinate with university staff and occupants of the affected rooms. Dates may also be changed to coincide with changes to the work schedules of our mechanical subcontractor, Davis-Houk , as they may arise. Weather conditions may also play a factor in installation timelines.

Attached, you will find a detailed schedule for each elevation where windows will be installed. Also attached is an aerial of Roger Adams Lab that will show you where each elevation is located, dates work will be performed, the areas where storage trailers will placed, and placement of the crane as we move around the building. Subsequent outage requests for this scope of work will be sent out to Josh Whitson with F & S for official review and approval as needed. A three month look ahead has been provided to show work associated with this scope for the next 90 days.

Precision Windows will start installation on Monday, March 30th with the mock-up in Rm. 112A. The mock-up will serve as the standard for the installation of the windows. The mock-up will last for two days ending on March 31st. The intent of the subcontractor is to start on the 4th floor after the mock up and work their way down for each elevation. Covers will placed on the interior of the window prior to it being removed. Precision’s plan is to pull out and replace (4) windows per day. After the windows are installed during that day, Precision will come back in the following morning to remove the cover and complete the trim on the inside of the window. They will not take out windows that they won’t have time to put back in the same day. In certain instances, the subcontractor may need to go to another room to work because of an inability to access a space on the date indicated due to planned activities by staff and occupants of the space or other potential issues. In this case, they will move to another space to work.

A two week look ahead will be provided to the University to let staff know what are the intended spaces that we need access to for that time period. SE and Precision will work with the University on changes to the schedule as they are requested. SE will track the progress of the project daily and communicate with the University, i.e. Karla Southern, Chad Stevens, & Dennis Dalby. These dates are tentative and subject to change based on our ability to gain clear access to the rooms during the time periods that are being requested.  

If there are any additional questions regarding the construction work associated with the install of windows in Roger Adams Laboratory North, feel free to contact me.

DEMOLITION OF WEST SHAFT - RAL NORTH - DEC 26 & 27 - 6AM TO 4PM BOTH DAYS


TO ALL IN RAL NORTH:

The ESCO project crew needs to do further demolition on the west shaft in RAL North and will be doing this work Dec. 26 and Dec. 27 from 6:00am to 4:00pm both days.  Please see further details from Schneider Electric below:

**************************************************************************************


All,

This email serves as a notification to request permission to perform demolition in the West shaft in Roger Adams Laboratory North. An additional duct was discovered in the west shaft during the abatement process that will need to be removed as discussed in our previous meeting. The location of the West Shaft is located south of the elevator in Roger Adams Laboratory North. The demolition would start on the fourth floor and continue through each floor ending at the ground floor. The existing partitions and protective measures in the spaces and surrounding areas are currently still in place and will be utilized for this demolition process. The entire process will take two days. Please note that the ductwork has already been abated and passed clearance testing. Disruptions to building occupants will be kept at a minimum. All measures will be taken to make sure that process does not affect staff and students.
Davis Houk Mechanical is requesting for this demolition to begin on December 26th and 27th. Davis Houk will begin work at 6 am and complete by 4 pm daily. Access to the elevator may be needed to remove debris and bring in materials.   No outages will be needed for this scope of work. Please note that no work will be done or scheduled until Schneider Electric receives a notice to proceed from the University. If  you have any additional questions feel free to contact me.

Parking Lot Closure - RAL Shipping/Receiving Dock Adjacent Lot - Dec 6 & 7


All,

This serves as a notification for a large crane to be placed in the Roger Adams parking lot adjacent to Shipping/Receiving beginning Friday, Dec. 6 at 5am and will last until approximately 5pm on Saturday, Dec. 7.  For those of you who have reserved spaces in that lot, Parking should have  notified you of this closure.  If they didn’t, this affects the following spaces:

  • All General D16 Spaces Next to RAL (6 Spaces)
  • D16 Space 1
  • D16 Space 5 (F&S)
  • D16 Space 6 (F&S)
  • D16 Space 8
  • D16 Space 9
  • D16 Space 10
  • D16 Space 12

The reason for placement of this large crane is to install a new Air Handling Unit(AHU) in the RAL North penthouse.  Schneider will have additional manpower onsite to help direct pedestrian traffic.  We will also place signage at entry/exit points affected by the crane placement and will have the drives blocked as needed.  We apologize for the inconvenience but this work is necessary to keep the ESCO project on track for completion.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
