Project Scope and Description This project will renovate Neale Residence Hall in the south DeBot quadrant at UW-Stevens Point. The project will roughly duplicate similar renovation work completed on two separate residence halls in summer 2008 and 2009 and a third residence hall beginning construction on May 24, 2010. An added expectation for this renovation will be an attempt to achieve recognition for sustainable features as a LEED Existing Building. The consulting A-E team will provide complete documentation, prerequisites, commissioning oversight and application materials necessary for current LEED Existing Building: Operations & Maintenance rating certification. The team will provide the user agency with documented recommendations and goals to help the campus maintain efficient and clean performance for future LEED EB O&M recertification. Neale hall comprises a total of 53,917 GSF and 270 total beds, and will receive significant renovations with room lighting upgrades, updates to all closet side panels, replacement of existing resident room slide-by windows, and replacement of resident room and lower level wood doors with new wood doors. The steam radiant heat system will be replaced with a four pipe system that will incorporate hot water and future air conditioning and will allow for individual room control within a pre-set range. The existing instantaneous hot-water conversion unit will be modified to include tank storage similar to the Steiner Hall 2009 installation. ADA modifications shall include: a) removal of bathtubs in private baths on floors 2-4 to accommodate shower areas for wheelchair restricted residents/guests on all floors, b) lower-level gender specific toilet rooms to be made fully accessible and converted to be nongender specific, c) a 5-stop elevator installed, d) an exterior ramp to the lobby level, and e) resident and public access rooms door handle hardware upgraded to a graspable lever style. Eleven resident rooms on various floors will be made fully ADA accessible. A fire sprinkler system will be installed throughout. Masonry block walls in resident rooms and resident floor corridors will receive a thin-coat plaster finish and paint. All resident room ceilings to be re-painted and the floor corridor ceilings will have the tectum removed and the surface painted. Carpeting in the resident rooms, main corridors, front lobby and all lower level rooms will be replaced. The door into the Hall Director s apartment will be replaced with a 36-inch wide door for wheelchair access.. The HD apartment will be provided with a private 36-inch wide exterior entrance and small patio. Existing telephone and data connections will be relocated to new exterior wall panels. The fire alarm system will be upgraded to current standards of addressable devices, synchronized strobes and emergency broadcasting capabilities. The building emergency lighting and power circuits will be connected to an electrical generator installed in Steiner Hall in 2009. The campus presently manages twelve four story residence halls with beds for approximately 3000 students with a GSF of just over 672,000. These residential buildings are of a traditional style with double loaded corridors and centrally located group bathroom facilities on each floor built primarily in the 1960's. A renovation of similar scope took place in Baldwin hall in 2008, Steiner Hall 2009, and Hansen hall beginning in May 2010. Baldwin, Steiner and Hansen halls are neighboring halls located west and north of Neale in hall in the South DeBot quadrant. Baldwin, Steiner and Hansen are of same building structure and bed capacity as Neale hall. Neale hall received a major renovation in 1994 which concentrated primarily on common areas such as the bathrooms where gang showers were converted to private shower stalls and worn restroom fixtures were replaced. Recycling chutes were added and kitchenettes installed on each floor. Voice and data wiring was updated to Category 5E. All fire alarm systems were upgraded but do not provide the current standard of addressable devices, synchronized strobes, or emergency voice broadcast capability. 3
The renovations should comply with DSF Sustainability Standards, Act 141 and Executive Order 145 issued in April 2006. EO 145 relates to conserving Wisconsin and the creation of high performance green building standards and the energy conservation for state facilities and operations based on the LEED Green building Rating System for existing buildings.

General Requirements Site and Utilities Soil Conditions Four soil borings were done as part of the original Neale hall construction in 1965 and are available on page 2 of project drawings for project # 91836. Cross section results generally show very dense red and gray granite at an elevation ten to sixteen feet below surface covered by varying levels of medium to coarse firm brown sand, topped by a two feet of loose medium sand and then, six inches of organic topsoil. The soil borings generally showed ground water at one to two feet above the dense red and gray granite. Zoning Requirements University of Wisconsin facility projects are required to conform with local zoning. There is nothing in the proposed project which will trigger the need for a zoning review. WEPA To comply with the Wisconsin Environmental Policy Act (WEPA) a Type III Environmental Action is required. This is a campus responsibility and will not necessitate any action on the part of the A/E team. City Water The Stevens Point Water Department supplies Buildings and an outdoor system with domestic water at a pressure of 65 lb. Underground piping is cast iron with all services adequate and in good repair. An 8-inch lateral with a 3-inch meter currently services the building and enters from the West side. The A/E team will need to analyze the requirements for sprinklering thus upgrades may be needed. An 8- inch city water main runs parallel to Isadore Street the building approximately 330 feet away. The need for an upgrade to capacity needs to be verified by the A/E team. Primary Electric The campus primary electric and signal underground conduit system runs parallel to and just to the east of the Isadore Street right of way boundary. This conduit duct bank installed in 1965 contains (10) 4 PVC conduits encased in a concrete envelope. Four of these conduits are dedicated to the primary power delivery system. Two of these conduits contain 15KV feeder cables sized at 1/0 and 4/0. The building appears to have adequate capacity to add the elevator component to the project, however the A/E team will need to verify. An emergency generator was installed as part of the Steiner Hall renovation project (08C2W) in 2009 with the capacity to serve Neale Hall. Switching will occur through the immediately adjacent Baldwin Hall. Signal Six of the ten conduits in the campus duct bank are dedicated to signal system delivery. These conduits contain four 32-strand and one 16-strand fiber optic data cables installed in 1993 along with multi-pair telephone and other low voltage cables. This signal conduit system is of adequate capacity to carry any additional signal conductors required to support additional space. 5
Architectural The addition of the elevator core and the new entry ramp must fit within the context of the existing building. Building Envelope The building envelope is basically secure and in good repair. Bricks show no need for tuck-pointing, expansion joints are caulked, doors, windows, and frames are solid and roof access assemblies and penetrations are functional and holding. ADA The residence halls are not compliant with current ADA requirements. A complete ADA analysis is required for the project. The current entrance to the building is by way of ramp with a gradient that exceeds ADA requirements. Upon entering the building, only the first floor is accessible to any wheelchair bound occupants or guests. Occupancy During Construction The building will be vacant during the 2011 summer break to allow construction work in the entire facility. Heating, Venting and Air-Conditioning The intention of this upgrade is to replace steam heating system and controls with a new hot water heating system 4 pipe system that can provide air conditioning when connected to a future source of chilled water which should be available in summer 2011. Existing make-up air and toilet exhaust systems were installed in 1994. Building steam service, pressure reducing station, and condensate return pumps are in good condition. Since they were installed the make-up air units have had chronic problems with coil freezing and low temperature shut downs. This problem should be addressed by the project. Campus Automation System The campus automation system is a Johnson Controls Metasys Extended Architecture Network. All new controls should be DDC and should be served and monitored by the campus system through the existing building network connection. Resident rooms shall have independent control within a pre-set range. Plumbing Domestic Plumbing Systems The 1994 renovation of the bathrooms included providing private shower stalls replacing bathroom fixtures and plumbing systems. Four years ago following a leak in the bulk hot water storage tank, the tank was removed and an instantaneous steam water heater was installed. When combined with other instantaneous heaters in the residential halls, these heaters have been targeted for causing consumption demand spikes for steam from the central heating plant. This project will modify the existing instantaneous steam water heater to include a holding and blending tank configured similar to the instantaneous water heater and tank installed in adjacent Steiner Hall in 2009. 6
Fire Protection System The entire building should be served by a wet sprinkler system with concealed piping to the greatest extent possible. Piping must be concealed in common areas. Each floor should be provided with individual control valves. Vandal proof (security type) heads should be used on resident floors. Sprinkler heads in the lower level common areas will be protected with sprinkler head guards. A stand pipe will be added to the common stairways. No fire pump is required. Electrical Transformer Rating Transformer rating is 1000 KVA. Telecommunications The telecommunications system was updated in all residence halls during the summer months of 2001-2003. Two 5e data jacks were installed on each side of the side of the room for internet capabilities of each resident. These jacks will be relocated to the new exterior wall panel. This will involve pulling existing cabling back to the lower-level, core drilling the floors, and re-pulling and terminating the wiring in the wall panel. Lower-level wiring will be routed via cable-tray. Fire Alarm Central Reporting A centralized, smoke detector and fire alarm system, as manufactured by Simplex, Model 4002 was installed as part of a comprehensive campus project in 1995, DSF Project 93A79. This project provided solid state electronic zoned display panels with voice evacuation capability. It is operated with low voltage cable and includes smoke detectors, pull stations, speaker/strobes and strobe annunciating devices. The system reports events to the campus security department located in the George Stein Building. The existing control panel will be upgraded to accept addressable devices and initiating devices (i.e. smoke/heat detectors, pull stations) and perform Emergency Broadcasting from University Protective Services such that Protective Services can address one hall or all halls in case of emergency. Strobes will be replaced with synchronized strobes. The new sprinkler system to include flow and tamper switch alarms integrated into the alarm system. Public Address System The front desk is equipped with a PA system that allows for communication to all floors. A speaker box is located in each wing for communication from the main PA system located behind front desk. No work will be done to the PA system. Health and Safety Asbestos Wisconsin Asbestos and Lead Abatement Management System identify residence hall areas as asbestos free with the exception of fire doors. To the best of Residential Living knowledge and ability all accessible ACM floor tile, mastic and pipe elbows were abated during the 1994 bathroom renovation upgrade. According to the WALMS report last revision 4/24/2003 asbestos containing 12x12 white and brown floor tiles with mastic exists in 002, 016, 031, 034 and 038. Asbestos containing carpet mastic exists in 002, 003, 004, 005, 016, 021 and 030. Since the revision of 4/24/2004 Residential Living has removed all ACM fire doors in Neale Hall. Lead The campus is not aware of any exposed lead containing products within the residence halls. 7
