Life Science/ Q Building Chilled Water Line and Comm. Approval of the recommendation and contract approval was awarded to Premier Mechanical at the April 25, 2008 Governing Board meeting. Additionally under this contract, the highly regarded Creosote specimen plant will be relocated within the surrounding area of the new Life Science Building, since the plant is currently in the pathway of the building’s footprint. The scope of work includes new chilled water lines from the center of the campus mall to the new Life Sciences building, extending new lines from the Life Sciences building to F Building (Fitness Center), and adding lines from F Building to the new Campbell Library. This will provide additional cooling capacity for the Fitness Center, as well as allow Q Building to be served from the college’s central plant, a much more efficient situation than the current small stand-alone plant serving the library. Purchasing publicly advertised the bid call and received four proposals on March 5, 2008. Premier Mechanical Corporation submitted the low cost proposal of $1,005,636, which includes base bid and two alternates. The Life Science Building Construction Project began in June 2008. The architects of our new Life Sciences Building, Marlene Imirizian & Associates, have given us a set of renderings and floor plans for this upcoming addition to the campus. During a preliminary process by Premier Mechanical to detect underground utilities, a 4-inch gas main that services both G and H Buildings, was detected and is forcing the chilled waterlines to be rerouted down the center main, north and south walkway of the college. With all options explored, consultants recommend the best college solution is to reroute the new underground chilled waterlines that will serve the future new Life Science and Q Buildings be rerouted. Removal of the concrete walkway will be performed during the evening hours after classes end due to noise pollution that will be generated from the heavy equipment required for the demolition. The first phase of the concrete demolition process is anticipated to take three weeks. The Life Sciences Building’s steel roof is scheduled for completion by the end of February. One of two, two-story water feature columns was installed this past Tuesday. Installation of the building’s exterior metal stud framing will take place in February. All underground utilities, chilled water lines, electrical/telecommunication conduits, and gas lines have been completed. The target date for substantial completion is by the end of June. | ||||
Future Construction Projects Disrupt Parking While our construction projects enhance the ability of Paradise Valley Community College to increase and provide new, exciting programs for our students and community; progress does create some challenging facility accessibility issues. Please refer to the map for parking restrictions during construction of the new Life Science Building. | ||||
