LABELLI Relationships. Resources. Results. Project Approach PROJECT BACKGROUND The Town of Queensbury is seeking a proposal to design and assist in implementation of various infrastructure improvements to the original Town Hall building and the Activity Center located at 742 Bay Road. The improvements will enhance the comfort conditions and increase the efficiency of heating and cooling in the spaces served by these systems. The Town has outlined a specific scope of work for the improvements. These will be carefully reviewed. Alternative approaches may be suggested (if deemed appropriate)and reviewed with the Town prior to commencement of design work. Several suggested enhancements are mentioned in this proposal. Portions of the infrastructure to be upgraded under this project are original to the building and are at the end of their service lives;other components were not well conceived in the original design and do not function well. Mark Bagdon, PE,of LaBella attended a walk-through with Chuck Rice,Town Facilities Manager,on February 6,and discussed the project conditions and expectations and developed a thorough understanding of the project and the Town's expectations. • PROJECT DESCRIPTION Town Hall Background The proposed project is located primarily in the original Town Hall building which dates from the 1960's. This area of the building is conditioned with fin tube radiation for heating and DX air handling units for cooling. Separate air handling units serve the ground and first floors. The building controls are pneumatic and are about 50 years old. Zoning is not ideal to provide optimal temperature control in all spaces. There is no mechanical ventilation on either floor and no economizer(free cooling)capability. There is currently open-faced fiberglass insulation installed on top of the ceiling tiles on the first floor. Inspection of the roof replacement drawings on file in the Facilities Manager office indicated that the renovated roof has an R-value of 35. This exceeds the current energy code. We recommend that the open faced fiberglass be removed where necessary to construct this project and not be replaced. Undisturbed fiberglass could be left in place or removed. The addition to the original Town Hall is conditioned with a water source heat pump system. The system cooling capacity has been expanded with the installation of a new cooling tower, but the heating capacity is inadequate due to an undersized heat exchanger. The temperature controls for the heat pump source loop are the original Enercon controls. While these controls still function,spare parts are difficult to find and we recommend considering transferring these control functions to a the new DDC system as part of this project. The Town Hall portion of the project will include the following elements: Central Systems • Extend natural gas lines from Highway Department building to Town Hall boiler room. • Remove existing oil tank,test soil, backfill and restore ground. Specify proper disposal and filing of all required test records. • Install two new modulating condensing hydronic boilers. Replace flues and provide combustion air. • LnBELLn Relationships. Resources. Results. Project Approach—Page 2 • Replace all pumps with newer units. Consider use of variable speed,permanent magnet motor pumps which are highly efficient. • Enlarge heat exchanger that provides heat to the heat pump source loop that currently serves the addition. Include enough capacity for new 1st floor heat pumps. • Consider installation of energy recovery ventilator to provide ventilation air for both floors. • Install new DDC controls to replace pneumatic controls. Extent of new system to be determine during schematic design phase. Basement Office Systems • Remove DX air handling unit and outdoor condensing unit. • Install new air handling unit with a DX coil for cooling and hot water coil for heating. Provide capability for outdoor air for ventilation. Install new condensing unit for new air handler. • Replace pneumatic controls with new, internet accessible, DDC control system. Design system to utilize both perimeter heat and air-side hot air to improve comfort conditions. • Consider the use of Therma-fuser©diffusers in selected offices as a cost effective means to provide additional zoning. First Floor Systems • Remove DX air handing unit in basement MER and outdoor condensing unit. • Install new water-to-air heat pumps to condition first floor offices. If possible, locate heat pumps above hall to minimize noise in offices. Modify the ductwork as needed for proper zoning. Use existing ductwork from basement MER to provide ventilation air to first floor offices. Determine return duct locations for new heat pumps. We do not recommend a plenum return because of the fiberglass insulation in the plenum space. • Install source loop piping and new pump from the addition's mechanical room to serve new heat pumps. Determine location for piping runs. Design new chases if necessary. • Provide and locate new sub-panel to feed new heat pumps. Evaluate main MDP for adequate capacity. • Remove and replace suspended ceiling as required for heat pump and diffuser installation. Activity Center • Remove existing oil-fired boiler and replace with two new modulating condensing boilers. Replace flues and provide combustion air. • Remove existing oil tank,test soil, backfill and restore ground. Specify proper disposal and testing records. • Extend natural gas line from Highway Department building. Provide branch for future gas-fired emergency generator. L/BELL1 Relationships. Resources. Results. Project Approach—Page 3 • Design ductwork and damper system to provide return air capability to air handling units that serve multi- purpose room. Determine ductwork routing and provide architectural modifications needed to accommodate ductwork. • Upgrade controls for multipurpose room to control existing and new dampers, reheat coils and perimeter heat. Possible Enhancements We recommend consideration of the following enhancements to the scope of work provided in the RFP. Others may be developed during the design process: • Provide mechanical ventilation to both the basement and first floor air systems. Consider use of an energy recovery ventilator(ERV)that would be located in the ground floor MER. This would provide ventilation air for both floors. • Install Therma-fusers in selected offices that do not have adequate temperature control to provide additional zoning. • Provide hot water reset for new boiler systems to maximize combustion efficiency. • Provide demand controlled ventilation (regulates outside air based on CO2 levels)to regulate outside air provided to multipurpose room in Activity Center. • Provide DDC controls for Town Hall heat pump source loop control to replace Enercon system. DESIGN SERVICES SCOPE OF WORK LaBella will provide the following engineering scope of work for this project: HVAC Systems The building HVAC systems will be renovated as described above.

L1BELL'\ Relationships. Resources. Results. Project Approach—Page 7 ASSUMPTIONS& EXCLUSIONS • Our drawings will be prepared in AutoCAD or Revit. Our proposal includes preparation of electronic base plans for those portions of the required for this project. • Give the reported age of the Town Hall boiler it likely contains asbestos insulation and possibly gaskets. The building could also include ACM or lead-based paint in various areas. If there is no existing hazardous materials report,testing will have to be done prior to construction. We suggest that it be done after completion of the schematic design phase so we will know what areas will be impacted by construction. In this way testing can be limited to those areas. If tested areas/materials come up positive,mitigation designs will have to be prepared so that materials can be removed prior to project installation. LaBella can offer these services or the Town can hire another consultant of its choice. A preliminary estimate is included in our budget. • Our budget assumes that the construction on the Town Hall and Activity Center projects will run coincidentally and both projects can be inspected during the same site visits. • Work in addition to the scope of this proposal may be performed on a T&M basis,charged at the rates documented in the fee section. No additional work will be performed without a written agreement between LaBella and the Town. • LABELLI Relationships. Resources. Results.

Project Approach PROJECT BACKGROUND The Town of Queensbury is seeking a proposal to design and assist in implementation of various infrastructure improvements to the original Town Hall building and the Activity Center located at 742 Bay Road. The improvements will enhance the comfort conditions and increase the efficiency of heating and cooling in the spaces served by these systems. The Town has outlined a specific scope of work for the improvements. These will be carefully reviewed. Alternative approaches may be suggested (if deemed appropriate)and reviewed with the Town prior to commencement of design work. Several suggested enhancements are mentioned in this proposal. Portions of the infrastructure to be upgraded under this project are original to the building and are at the end of their service lives;other components were not well conceived in the original design and do not function well. Mark Bagdon, PE, of LaBella attended a walk-through with Chuck Rice,Town Facilities Manager,on February 6,and discussed the project conditions and expectations and developed a thorough understanding of the project and the Town's expectations. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Town Hall Background The proposed project is located primarily in the original Town Hall building which dates from the 1960's. This area of the building is conditioned with fin tube radiation for heating and DX air handling units for cooling. Separate air handling units serve the ground and first floors. The building controls are pneumatic and are about 50 years old. Zoning is not ideal to provide optimal temperature control in all spaces. There is no mechanical ventilation on either floor and no economizer(free cooling)capability. There is currently open-faced fiberglass insulation installed on top of the ceiling tiles on the first floor. Inspection of the roof replacement drawings on file in the Facilities Manager office indicated that the renovated roof has an R-value of 35. This exceeds the current energy code. We recommend that the open faced fiberglass be removed where necessary to construct this project and not be replaced. Undisturbed fiberglass could be left in place or removed. The addition to the original Town Hall is conditioned with a water source heat pump system. The system cooling capacity has been expanded with the installation of a new cooling tower, but the heating capacity is inadequate due to an undersized heat exchanger. The temperature controls for the heat pump source loop are the original Enercon controls. While these controls still function,spare parts are difficult to find and we recommend considering transferring these control functions to a the new DDC system as part of this project. The Town Hall portion of the project will include the following elements: Central Systems • Extend natural gas lines from Highway Department building to Town Hall boiler room. • Remove existing oil tank,test soil, backfill and restore ground. Specify proper disposal and filing of all required test records. • Install two new modulating condensing hydronic boilers. Replace flues and provide combustion air. LA ELLE Relationships. Resources. Results. Approach—PageProject 2 • Replace all pumps with newer units. Consider use of variable speed, permanent magnet motor pumps which are highly efficient. • Enlarge heat exchanger that provides heat to the heat pump source loop that currently serves the addition. Include enough capacity for new 1st floor heat pumps. • Consider installation of energy recovery ventilator to provide ventilation air for both floors. • Install new DDC controls to replace pneumatic controls. Extent of new system to be determine during schematic design phase. Basement Office Systems • Remove DX air handling unit and outdoor condensing unit. • Install new air handling unit with a DX coil for cooling and hot water coil for heating. Provide capability for outdoor air for ventilation. Install new condensing unit for new air handler. • Replace pneumatic controls with new, internet accessible, DDC control system. Design system to utilize both perimeter heat and air-side hot air to improve comfort conditions. • Consider the use of Therma-fuser©diffusers in selected offices as a cost effective means to provide additional zoning. First Floor Systems • Remove DX air handing unit in basement MER and outdoor condensing unit. • Install new water-to-air heat pumps to condition first floor offices. If possible, locate heat pumps above hall to minimize noise in offices. Modify the ductwork as needed for proper zoning. Use existing ductwork from basement MER to provide ventilation air to first floor offices. Determine return duct locations for new heat pumps. We do not recommend a plenum return because of the fiberglass insulation in the plenum space. • Install source loop piping and new pump from the addition's mechanical room to serve new heat pumps. Determine location for piping runs. Design new chases if necessary. • Provide and locate new sub-panel to feed new heat pumps. Evaluate main MDP for adequate capacity. • Remove and replace suspended ceiling as required for heat pump and diffuser installation. Activity Center • Remove existing oil-fired boiler and replace with two new modulating condensing boilers. Replace flues and provide combustion air. • Remove existing oil tank,test soil, backfill and restore ground. Specify proper disposal and testing records. • Extend natural gas line from Highway Department building. Provide branch for future gas-fired emergency generator. LI\BELLI Relationships. Resources. Results. Project Approach—Page • Design ductwork and damper system to provide return air capability to air handling units that serve multi- purpose room. Determine ductwork routing and provide architectural modifications needed to accommodate ductwork. • Upgrade controls for multipurpose room to control existing and new dampers, reheat coils and perimeter heat. Possible Enhancements We recommend consideration of the following enhancements to the scope of work provided in the RFP. Others may be developed during the design process: • Provide mechanical ventilation to both the basement and first floor air systems. Consider use of an energy recovery ventilator(ERV)that would be located in the ground floor MER. This would provide ventilation air for both floors. • Install Therma-fusers in selected offices that do not have adequate temperature control to provide additional zoning. • Provide hot water reset for new boiler systems to maximize combustion efficiency. • Provide demand controlled ventilation (regulates outside air based on CO2 levels)to regulate outside air provided to multipurpose room in Activity Center. • Provide DDC controls for Town Hall heat pump source loop control to replace Enercon system.

LABELLA Relationships. Resources. Results. Project Approach—Page 7 ASSUMPTIONS& EXCLUSIONS • Our drawings will be prepared in AutoCAD or Revit. Our proposal includes preparation of electronic base plans for those portions of the required for this project. • Give the reported age of the Town Hall boiler it likely contains asbestos insulation and possibly gaskets. The building could also include ACM or lead-based paint in various areas. If there is no existing hazardous materials report,testing will have to be done prior to construction. We suggest that it be done after completion of the schematic design phase so we will know what areas will be impacted by construction. In this way testing can be limited to those areas. If tested areas/materials come up positive, mitigation designs will have to be prepared so that materials can be removed prior to project installation. LaBella can offer these services or the Town can hire another consultant of its choice. A preliminary estimate is included in our budget. • Our budget assumes that the construction on the Town Hall and Activity Center projects will run coincidentally and both projects can be inspected during the same site visits. • Work in addition to the scope of this proposal may be performed on a T&M basis,charged at the rates documented in the fee section. No additional work will be performed without a written agreement between LaBella and the Town. . . .. .. . . . . . . •• . . . .•. .. . ya b. iiiti ` . ,. :•,. .• . ; ,.... ! •Technical c ' a . . . ..., .. . . .. . . . .. ... .. . ..... . . • . . •.... . .. . . .. . .• . . .., es . .. y''K r . . . . . . . _... _ __. . . . . . . . . . . _ ... . .. .. .. . . . , . . .. . . . . • .. . . . . ;,..... . ,. . .. ., . .., . . . ... ,... .... ....„ ,. . . .. .• : ••• . ,:. _ .. • . •• , . . . •:•.. .. _ • . :, . . . . .. _ .. ... . . .. • . . . . . . ,• . . _ . . - . ...1, .... . ,. . ... „ ... . . . . ... . ..... . . , ... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. .. •,....,..,.., , . rrg ' L4\BELLLWFntai RBacsci# iskk3 'r; ifA 4nfi , L'BELL'\ Relationships.
