UF-366 1 of 23 Ponikvar & Associates / PGAV Auxiliary and High Density Storage Facility Architect’s Project No: 12012

Section I: 1 BASIS of DESIGN Administrative/General A. General Project Description

In 2007 the Council of State and University Libraries (CSUL) agreed to pursue the development of a shared High Density Storage Facility (HDF) in Gainesville to be managed by UF on behalf of all participating libraries. The HDF will be constructed adjacent and connected to the University’s existing Auxiliary Library Facility (ALF) a medium density off-site storage facility serving the UF Library System. Construction of the new HDF will facilitate relocation of approximately 1,000,000 UF volumes currently housed in ALF into the HDF, and provide capacity for CSUL partners to free up valuable space within their respective library facilities by moving portions of their collections into the HDF at UF. Relocation of the UF collections currently shelved in the ALF will allow renovation of the 42,000 GSF ALF facility for other essential Auxiliary Library support services currently located on UF’s main campus including, UF’s Digital Library Center, Conservation Operations, and UF Only Special Collections Archives. Relocation of these functions will improve operational efficiency and free up valuable space within main campus library facilities for new uses. In combination the new HDF and renovated ALF will become the University of Florida’s new Auxiliary and High Density Library Storage Facility.

B. Project Bench Marking Benchmarking of other High Density Storage Facilities recently completed by peer institutions has been central to this project’s program verification and design process. The objective of these benchmarking efforts has been the identification of best practices in architectural and engineering design, functional operation and work flow processing with the goal of applying lessons learned to achieve improved functionality and performance at the University of Florida’s Auxiliary and High density Library Storage Facility. Benchmarking results and observations are documented in the Peer Facility Benchmarking Matrix (work in progress) included in the Appendix of the ASD Submittal. The following facilities are included in the UF Benchmarking Effort. UF Project Team Benchmarking Site Visits: • Library of Congress Remote Archival Storage Facility, Fort Meade, MD • Washington Research Library Consortium, Baltimore, MD Additional Benchmarked Facilities: • University of Georgia, Institutional Repository, Athens, GA • University of Kansas, Library Annex, Lawrence, KS • Duke University Libraries High Density Remote Service Center, Durham, NC NARA National Personnel Records Center, Saint Louis, MO • Princeton University Research Collections and Preservation Consortium (ReCap) Princeton, NJ • University of Missouri, Library Depository, Columbia, MO • University of Indiana, High Density Library Storage Facility, Bloomington, IN


C. HDF Processing and Storage Module Capacity The new HDF is master planned for an ultimate build out capacity of approximately 20.8 million volumes. In order to achieve this capacity all material will be sorted and stored by size, bar coded and shelved in bar-coded archival storage trays for maximum storage density within the archive. The HDF is planned to be constructed in phases. Phase I is designed with a capacity of approximately 5.2 million volumes and will be designed as two adjacent 5-Aisle Harvard Style HDF storage modules with individual capacity of 1.6 million volumes each. The Archival HDF Storage Modules will utilize 35’ High density static shelving and man up Raymond type order picker technology for placement and retrieval of stored material. The high density shelving system consists of one piece welded upright frames with side shelf support with 1-1/64” shelving adjustment capability. Shelving will be steel cold rolled box form construction with a non-off gassing paint finish. Individual shelves will be 53” wide and 36” deep accommodating the full range of standard HDF archival book trays. Currently two manufacturers are being considered: Montel and Space Saver. Each of the manufacturers gave a two hour presentation to the design committee. Each has been found to be responsive to the programmatic requirements and preliminary pricing of each is competitive and in line with the line item budget. HDF Archival Design Standards The HDF Storage Module and associated processing areas will be designed in general accordance with National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) publication 1571-Archival Storage Standards (2-15-2002). NARA 1571 outlines design guidelines for structural, environmental, fire safety, preservation and security systems appropriate for archival storage conditions and has been the basis of design for many HDF facilities across the nation. Specific design responses to NARA 1571 guidelines are included in NARA 1571 Matrix in Section I.4 of this submittal. Preservation and protection of the HDF archival collection is a high priority. The new HDF will provide increased protection from catastrophic loss. Individual 5-ailse HDF modules will be separated with fire rated construction and fire protected openings. Additionally fire suppression systems will be designed to limit maximum foreseeable loss from any single fire event to 300 cubic feet of stored material. Recent amendments to the NFPA code for fire suppression in HDF type facilities provide flexibility in approach to the integration or fire suppression systems providing the option for Early Suppression Fast Response (ESFR) type fire suppression system verses the in-rack heads. The ESFR option is the most cost effective for the UF-HDF and will be incorporated into the design.

D. User and Occupancy Data

The Auxiliary & High-Density Library Storage Facility will operate as a public University of Florida building. Normal operating hours will be 8 AM to 5 PM Monday thru Friday. However HDF material processing and Auxiliary Library operations will occasionally extend beyond these hours. Site security and building access security for staff and visitors for normal and after hour’s operation is a key design consideration. Public traffic to the facility is expected to be limited. Periodic visitors including CSUL partner representatives, individual and group researchers and students enrolled in DLC and


Conservation classes are anticipated but will not constitute a significant day to day occupant load. A secure entrance lobby will provide controlled access to the facility. The entrance lobby will be equipped with a card reader and intercom system. Visitors to the facility will utilize the intercom system to announce their arrival and will require a staff escort for entry. Once inside the facility public access will be limited to the main circulation spaces, employee break room, and restrooms. Access to all other functional areas will require staff escort. Authorized staff access to all functional areas will be managed using card access control systems. CCTV surveillance will be provided for building staff and visitor paring areas, building entry, entry lobby and loading dock areas. Total Staff Occupant Levels are estimated as follows. Full simultaneous occupancy by the combined staff will be seldom depending on student worker and volunteer presence in the building.

Transient (per year) 168.0* *28 per day, 4 hrs each divided by 8 hours a day x 12, once per month.

E. Campus Master Plan Elements and Strategies

The facility is consistent with policies of the Support Element and all other applicable aspects of the CMP, which was prepared and adopted pursuant to FAC 6C-21.213 and 1013.30 F. S.

The project is not consistent with the terms of the associated campus development agreement, which was prepared and adopted pursuant to FAC 6C-21.213 and 1013.30 F. S. The project was added to the Capital Improvement Element with an amendment in March 2008. However, the campus development agreement (CDA) was negotiated in August 2006. The representatives of the parties to the CDA (City and County) were notified of the amendment. Since the project was not funded at the time of the amendment, the CDA was not revisited. When the project is funded for construction, the University will revisit the CDA as needed. The university anticipates that the project will not require additional mitigations since it is primarily storage and will not create significant new employment or impacts on public facilities or services. An amendment to


the Capital Improvement Element of the CMP will not be required to program the scope and siting of the project. The project is consistent with the CMP policies in all other respects as described herein, and is within the minor amendment criteria as established in UF Operating Memorandum consistent with 1013.30 F.S. In anticipation of the scheduled submittal of the required amendment, and a finding of consistency with the adopted CMP, it is the University’s desire that the project (as described in the facilities program) be approved as submitted. See the Section VII of the UF Facilities Program for a detailed explanation of compliance with each CMP element.

F. Environmental Considerations

1. Permits: A National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Generic Permit for Stormwater Discharge from Large and Small Construction Acitivities is required for construction activities disturbing more than 1 acre of total land area. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) shall be developed for implementation by the Contractor during construction. The SWPPP will comply with NPDES requirements and shall be prepared in accordance with good engineering practices. The Notice of Intent (NOI) must be filed at least 48 hours before commencement of construction. A Notice of Termination (NOT) must be filed within 14 days of final stabilization of the site.

2. Results of Owner’s Phase I & II Site Assessment performed by GLE: a. Phase I Conclusions: GLE performed a Phase I Environmental Site

Assessment in general conformance with the scope and limitations of ASTM Standard Practice E1527-05 of Auxiliary Library Facility located at 2715 NE 39th Avenue in Gainesville, Alachua County, Florida, the “Property”. Any significant exceptions to, or deletions from, this practice are described in Section 2.0 of this report. This assessment has revealed evidence of two (2) Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) in the form of (1) adjoining LUST facility located at 3500 NE Waldo Road; and (2) adjoining LUST facility at 3520 NE Waldo Road. This assessment has also revealed one (1) BER in the form of: (1) on-site buildings constructed in 1976 are at risk for the presence of asbestos and/or lead based paint. 1. Recommendations

a. A Limited Phase II Environmental Site Assessment is recommended at the Property, along the western property boundary to confirm that groundwater contamination from adjoining LUST facilities have not migrated onto the Property.

1. Energy Conservation: The HDF element of the project is inherently energy intensive due to the HVAC system required to achieve 50°F/35% RH. In addition, the UF Only storage element requires 60°F/40% RH. These program elements require special constant volume HVAC systems with desiccant wheels, precooling, heating for regeneration of the desiccant wheels, and recooling. Furthermore, the fan energy will be higher than normal due to two sets of 30% prefilters/95% after filters (particulate) and the use of carbon filters (gas contaminants). Energy use is exacerbated by the requirement to maintain the specified environment continuously (24/7). The balance of the program can be served efficiently with conventional VAV HVAC systems. Energy conservation goals include: 1) meeting UF Construction Standards, 2) meeting GRU requirements for rebates where applicable, and 3) analysis of alternative HVAC systems by energy modeling and life cycle cost analysis (LCCA).

2. Cost Savings: The LCCA evaluates seven schemes to provide HVAC for the HDF. In addition, selected schemes were evaluated at different air flows and different indoor design conditions to learn their impact on energy and first cost. It is anticipated that the most energy efficient scheme that is within the project budget will be selected. Equipment redundancy is desired for both reliability and maintenance. Preliminary cost estimates indicate that redundant equipment costs can be controlled by decoupling supply and outdoor air units. Finally, the OPR requires emergency power for both the HDF and UF Only mechanical equipment. The cost is currently being reviewed with respect to the budget.


3. Sustainable Design: All building systems will be designed using USGBC guidelines for sustainability.

4. LEED Certification: While sustainable design practices will be implemented throughout the project, LEED certification is dependent on meeting the minimum energy conservation prerequisite of 10% (2 points). LEED Gold is the program goal. Since the HDF and UF Only area HVAC systems are process space systems (not comfort cooling) an opinion from USGBC was solicited.

A summary of LEED from the Mechanical Engineer was submitted to USGBC by UF. The summary states it will be difficult to show energy cost savings necessary for EA Prerequisite 2 (10% energy savings) and /or to achieve energy savings points for a Gold Certification. Other concerns include the fact this building is not on the main campus and cannot receive points that are typically given for main campus projects.

Based on this information, Bahar Armaghani, Director of the LEED Program, submitted a letter to USGBC asking for a variance for this project and providing a narrative outlining the issues. Two questions were raised:

Question 1: USGBC was asked if the LEED boundary could be drawn to exclude HDF. The answer was “yes” if done per LEED requirements. We could include HDF, but would only get the minimum energy points. Gold certification is not likely.

Question 2: USGBC was asked if the renovated ALF HVAC system could be modeled “as is” for the base case. The answer was “no”. The base case must be per ASHRAE 90.1, which is DX VAV. Since that is what we are converting the existing HVAC system to, we will not be able to show “savings” even though savings will surely accrue.

The Team has agreed to meet to discuss LEED after the major systems are selected and the HDF temperature/ humidity standards are finalized. UF is interested in pursuing LEED CI for the ALF.

H. Summary of Energy Modeling and LCCA

1. Energy Modeling: Preliminary energy modeling for the HDF element has been performed to evaluate redundancy, affordability and system type for energy conservation. Future energy modeling will include the ALF. Initial results indicate that redundancy should be provided for desiccant AHUs and redundant fans in supply AHUs, as well as pumps and chillers (if budget allows). The energy model considers seven HDF HVAC schemes:

1) water cooled chiller 2) premium (high efficiency) DX 3) standard DX 4) air cooled chiller with ice storage 5) air cooled chiller 6) evaporatively cooled chiller 7) modular air cooled chiller.

All schemes utilize gas furnaces for desiccant regeneration as the preferred heating source over electric heat or boilers.


2. LCCA: The LCCA goals are the traditional analysis of the first cost, energy cost, O&M cost and replacement cost of the schemes discussed above. In addition, modeling was performed for relaxed space conditions (60ºF/40% RH) to test for impact on first cost and energy costs. The LCCA includes first costs for the HDF HVAC systems based on actual load calculations.

I. Special Conditions: The following special conditions arise from the program. 1. HDF Environment: 50°F/35% RH. Use desiccant wheel AHUs. 2. HDF Storage: Shelving to 35’. Use super flat floors and engineered shelving. 3. HDF Fire Protection: Limit loss to 300 ft3. Use ceiling ESFR sprinkler heads. 4. UF Only Storage: 60°F/40%RH. Use desiccant wheel AHUs.

J. Future Expansion The project will be designed for 5.2 million volumes in the initial two (2) HDF modules with planned expansion for up to 20.8 million volumes (six additional modules) in the future. The ALF and HDF processing areas are not expected to require expansion. Expansion of the UF Only storage is currently unknown. All site utilities and all building construction will be designed with the future expansion in mind. Future expansions will connect to communications, water, sewer, gas, electric, and stormwater utilities extended to the site during the initial phase of construction. Additional taps or points of connection may be required to connect to these utilities during future phases of construction.

K. Other Narratives/Documents The intent is to design the HDF element in accordance with NARA Publication 1571.

ASD Design conformance with NARA 1571 is documented in the NARA 1571 Matrix in Section 1.4 of this submittal.

L. Building Element Design – Delegated to Builder

Curtainwall, lifting drawings for tilt wall panels, anchorage for high density shelving and steel roof joist.

Sitework and Utilities A. Existing Site Conditions

The site is “off campus”. All utilities (including fiber optic) will be provided by GRU. The existing utilities to the site are inadequate to meet the needs of the current program and the future expansion. Preliminary meetings have been held with GRU and site Utility improvements are illustrated on the ASD Civil drawings. It is anticipated that GRU can meet all project utility requirements.

B. Civil Engineering Strategies The site work will be limited to demolition of existing improvements and tree clearing to allow the initial HDF modules, improvements to the existing ALF, and construction of the required stormwater management facilities. New improvements will include reconstruction of all existing onsite paving and parking surfaces, modifications to allow semi-trailer truck access and delivery to the site, security fencing, stormwater systems meeting the regulatory requirements of the SJRWMD, and required utility infrastructure.

C. Utility Demand Schedule 1. Power: GRU. Estimated demand is 225 kW. Estimated consumption is

1,100,000 kWh/yr. 2. Chilled Water: Site plant if provided, included in above.


3. Natural Gas: GRU. Estimated demand 900 cfh. Estimated consumption: 92,000 therms/yr.

4. Interior Fire Flow: GRU. Estimated demand 1200 gpm. 5. Exterior Fire Flow: GRU. Estimated demand 500 gpm. 6. Irrigation: GRU. Estimated demand 10 gpm. 7. Sanitary: GRU. 30 gpm peak. 500 gpd. 8. Domestic Water: GRU. 30 gpm peak. 500 gpd. 9. Storm: Existing and proposed roofed areas are collected and piped to onsite

retention D. Utilities Design Approach

1. General: Power, gas, fire, irrigation, sanitary and domestic water will be provided by GRU. Meetings are required when final demands are known for current and future needs.

2. Stormwater: An onsite retention facility is provided. E. Design Approach for Stormwater Management

1. Stormwater: An onsite retention facility will be provided to meet the water quality and attenuation requirements of the SJRWMD. The stormwater facility will be constructed in phases to support the development of the site as future storage modules are constructed. Suitable soils excavated from the retention facility are to be used as fill beneath the building slab per the geotechnical and structural recommendations. The size of Phase I pond will be sized to accommodate the runoff requirements and provide sufficient fill for the Phase I expansion, which ever is greater.

2. Public Art: a. Programmatic Goal of the original Facilities Program was to incorporate

public art into the development of the north site. b. The Architects are looking at alternatives to incorporate art into the

façade of the building’s exterior concrete panels. F. Security Gates

1. The gate at the 39th Avenue entrance will be a 72” high decorative aluminum picket, fully automatic, card reader controlled, sliding gate. This gate may be override opened during library functions if required. The gates at the unpaved shelving delivery entrance and the paved delivery truck access road will be 72” high black epoxy coated chain link fence, manually operated, sliding gate. The shelving delivery gate will be locked at all time except when scheduled deliveries are received. The delivery truck access gate will be open when scheduled deliveries are expected and locked outside of regular working hours. An additional internal 72” high galvanized chain link gate will be provided at the northwest corner of the ALF to control access to the rear of the ALF/HDF facility. This gate may be closed and locked. It is intended that when the three exterior gates are closed and locked and this internal gate is closed and locked, the area behind the ALF/HDF will be secure and safe for employees and property.

G. Landscape Design Concept

1. The landscape design for UF-366 SUS Joint Use Library Storage Facility will enhance the existing and proposed library facilities by preserving and enhancing the existing native vegetation along 39th Avenue and providing for new simple and attractive enhancements within the parking lot areas and adjacent to the existing and proposed buildings.


2. Along 39th Avenue, Long Leaf Pine Trees and Sabal Palms will be protected as a natural existing buffer between the building parking area and the road. Additional Sand Live Oak, Red Bud and Yaupon Holly will further lay the foundation for natural succession and landscape establishment for years to come. Under the existing and proposed canopy of trees Saw Palmetto (Seranoa repens) , Crown Grass (Paspalum quadrifolium), Walter’s Viburnum (viburnum obovatum) and Bulbine (Bulbine frutescens) will provide for a quick transformation of the landscape environment into an attractive native appearing landscape. As time passes the crown grass and bulbine will decline making way for the slower growing native Saw Palmetto and Walter’s Viburnum. Over time the landscape will appear to blend with the naturalized landscape of the Rails to Trails project along Williston Road.

3. Planting adjacent to the building is intended to provide for an attractive low maintenance enhancement that will complement the contemporary architecture and demonstrate the sustainable values of the University of Florida and the Library. To conserve costs associated with existing building façade improvements, Yaupon Holly, Weavers Dogwood, and Sand Live Oak will be placed between the parking and existing building. These trees will provide for a softened view of the building, breaking up the mass of the structure and providing filtered views towards and away from the building. Low shrub massing will be placed along the facade of the existing and proposed building to provide a soft transition between the building and the adjacent ground plane. Between the shrub massing and building, a five foot wide gravel path will provide for easy access to the building for maintenance. In front of the shrub mass, a Florida fieldstone and shell rock gravel bed will provide for low maintenance landscape that is interesting at all times of the year. Mechanical equipment located in front of the building will be screened by tall hedge plantings.

4. Existing Pine Tree plantation planting on much of the site will be retained to the extent possible, thereby minimizing the need for replanting and reducing the overall impact of the building mass on the local community. Argentine Bahia grass will be planted throughout the disturbed areas of the site. Irrigation will be limited to improved landscape areas north of the building.

Architectural and Building Envelope A. Style and Character of Exterior

1. The existing ALF occupies a prominent corner at the intersection of Waldo Road and 39th Avenue in northeast Gainesville. The building is one of the first encountered by visitors arriving via the Gainesville Regional Airport. Originally constructed as a Florida Department of Transportation warehouse facility the ALF’s precast concrete facade presents a utilitarian and uninspired face to 39th street. Exposed loading dock receiving doors and unscreened ground mounted mechanical equipment contribute to the existing building’s rather unwelcoming industrial warehouse type appearance.

2. The ASD design includes cost effective options for improving the public image of the renovated Auxiliary and High-Density Library Storage Facility.

3. Exterior improvements are focused on the creation of a more readily identifiable, welcoming and ADA compliant building entrance portico, effective screening of exterior mechanical equipment and removal and replacement of the existing loading dock doors facing 39th street with new glazing systems. ASD plans include provision for an exterior patio immediately adjacent to the building entrance and readily accessible from the staff break room for staff use at lunch and breaks. Budget allowing the introduction of new window openings for


increased interior daylight and/or additional decorative façade treatment for the existing ALF will be developed.

4. The 40 foot plus mass of the HDF storage modules presents an opportunity to introduce new architectural elements and design features that will complement the renovated ALF. The ASD submittal includes preliminary suggestion for introducing a variety of color and textural interest for this primary façade.

5. A new connecting link between the existing ALF and the HDF will house the HDF processing area. The façade of the link will be glazed to bring ample north light into the processing area and provide a transparent and welcoming face to the facility.

6. The project budget includes a .05% allowance for public art and the opportunity to incorporate art into the façade, north site (as stated in the original Program) and/ or stormwater system will be further explored s the design is developed and artist selection is confirmed.

7. In short it is the design team’s goal to upgrade the ALF building complex public image taking advantage of the buildings prominent location to proudly express its’ identity as a University of Florida facility.

General recommendations for interior finishes and material selections for each program area are included in the individual Space Description forms included in this submittal.

2. Flexibility: Given the constantly changing nature of library technology and evolving needs of process/workflow, ALF interiors will be designed to support reconfiguration with minimum disruption. Open flexible work spaces will be the default. Hard walled work and collections storage areas will be created in instances where acoustical separation, security and or environmental and or light control are needed. Power, data and telecommunications infrastructure will be developed to support changing process equipment and desk top needs.

3. Creative Work Place Design: The open plan of the existing ALF and clear structural height (averaging 15 feet) have resulted in the creation of ‘high bay’ type work and processing areas. The introduction of color, texture, super graphics and the use of selected enclosed


program elements to provide architectural interest are illustrated in the ASD submittal. A fun, creative industrial type character is envisioned. The following images are representative of the type of interior architectural character that might be achieved:

4. HDF Interiors:

Structural A. Existing Conditions and Assumptions Existing building structure will be used ‘as is’. The design of the foundation of the HDF will be done upon in compliance with the soils report. B. Description of Systems

1. Wind Loading for a Hardened Structure (Enhanced Hurricane Protection Areas - EHPA): The wind loading for the facility will be based upon the 2010 Edition of the Florida Building Code with the added requirement of the owner to harden the facility. Hardening is a generic term and the requirements are best described in the Florida Building Code in Section 423.25 as Enhanced Hurricane Protection Areas (EHPA) under “Public Shelter Design Criteria”. The ultimate design speed for this building is 135 MPH for risk category III and IV, exposure C, plus


an additional 40 MPH for EHPA design. This yields a building ultimate wind design speed of 175 MPH for the hardened structure.

2. Foundations: The final soil borings and the report of soil testing have been completed and received. The report, dated August 2, 2012, indicates that the existing site can be improved to accommodate the building. From the report:

“subsurface improvements can be accomplished by stone columns, rammed aggregate piers, or other methods proposed by the contractor. We recommend the shallow foundations be designed for a maximum net soil bearing pressure of 4,000 psf.” The report goes further to discuss the concerns in relation to differential settlement: “For the building pad prepared as recommended, we anticipate differential settlement of less than 1/ 2 inch (this assumes the floor slab is tied into the foundation walls) or 1/3 inch (this assumes the floor slab is independent from foundation walls).” The sub-surface improvement is anticipated to extend to 20 feet below the current ground elevation. Surface and groundwater control will be required during foundation and site preparations; however, well-pointing use for dewatering is not currently anticipated.

3. Ground Floor Slab: Currently, the ground floor slab system for the building is

assumed to be a concrete slab over 1 layer of 40 mil vapor retarder supported on the compacted natural earth or fill. The floor slab system for the storage facility will be a 10” thick concrete slab. A portion of the floor at the mechanical areas will be an 8” thick (or 10” if used as a test slab) reinforced concrete slab. The requirements for the slab in the high density library storage facility will be very specific and will be further developed as the project proceeds through the design phase. The following represents the initial requirements for the proper construction of this slab: The main new storage area concrete slab will be a 10” thick, with

compressive strength between 4500 and 5000 PSI concrete. The reinforcing will be in 2 layers in order to develop the capacity needed for the extreme loads imposed upon the slab by the shelving. The use of a shrinkage compensating admixture is being considered but may affect the placing sequence and methodology. The use of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is also currently under review as a potential methodology to assist in the proper placement of the concrete. The use of shrinkage compensation and SCC will be further discussed with the Construction Manager’s (CM) during subsequent design phases.

The concrete mix will require a low slump design, with an approximate 3-

4” slump prior to addition of self-consolidating or high-range water reducer admixtures. The water-cement ratio is anticipated to be between 0.45 and 0.48

The concrete sub-contractor will need to be pre-qualified by the CM as

well as the A/E, and must show evidence of successful experience with “superflat” concrete slab construction.


In addition, a list of acceptable, experienced superflat floor testing

engineering companies who will be employed by the CM and acceptable to the A/E and University will be developed. Testing by use of profileograph or other acceptable means will be accomplished in order to verify the acceptability of the completed slab’s flatness and levelness.

The production of a test slab(s) by the CM and the concrete sub-

contractor will be required. This test slab shall utilize the same means, methods, personnel and materials that will be used to produce the final storage slab product. This sample slab can be accomplished in the mechanical room or other area of the design team’s or owner’s choosing.

At this time, the Class 9 defined-traffic superflat floor appears to require

an Fmin of 100 which equates to an FF = 140 and FL = 100. The use of very narrow aisles requires the high flatness and levelness numbers indicated. Note that the Fmin may be reduced depending on heights of shelving and the actual shelving units utilized. The requirements listed above are based on the discussions of the project design team with the manufacturer of one of the potential shelving suppliers. Final requirements for the flatness and levelness will be dictated by the shelving manufacturer.

The anticipated placing sequence for the ground floor slabs will be in

alternating strips. Joint spacing between the strips will be driven by the location of the support feet for the shelving units. It is anticipated that the joint spacing, thus the width of the slab strips, will be in the 12-15 foot range and will also be influenced by the placing and concrete consolidation methods used by the contractor. Joints transverse to the strips will need to be minimized.

Manufactured joints to be used in the slab will be discussed with the CM,

but ones that we have successfully used on heavily loaded slabs have utilized accessories manufactured by PNA Construction Technologies and include: Diamond Dowel System at construction Joints; Load Plate Basket Assemblies at saw-cut joints; and Armor Edge Assemblies at construction joints requiring a steel armored joint.

For the best final product, the slab will need to be protected / covered

from the elements during placing and curing. The construction sequence should take into account this slab protection during concrete placement. It is anticipated that with the use of structural insulated precast panels, that the walls and roof can and will be installed prior to the floor slab being placed. The CMs’ sequencing will need to take into account the lack of openings for access to the slab with concrete placing equipment.

C. Structural Building System

1. Exterior Walls: The exterior walls of the building are currently anticipated to be structural insulated precast concrete panels supported on cast in place concrete foundation walls which are in turn supported on spread footings. The panels will span from the top of the foundation wall to the roof. These concrete wall panels,


in addition to serving as support for the roof joists, will act as shear walls to counteract the lateral forces applied to the building by wind.

2. Roof System: The roof system will include metal roof deck supported on 36” LH steel joists at approximately 5’-0” on center, supported on interior precast wall panels.. The structural roof deck system will be 1.5”, 18-gauge galvanized steel deck with lightweight insulating concrete and roofing system meeting EHPA requirements for impact resistance, etc. This structural roof system will serve as the horizontal diaphragm for the building and will fulfill the requirements for the hardening of the roof.

C. Geotechnical Survey Analysis

A geotechnical survey has been completed and the results are indicated above in Paragraph B.2.

MEPF Systems A. Mechanical: The facility is off campus; central chilled water and steam are not available.

The facility requires three distinct HVAC conditions: 1) HDF at 50°F/35%RH, 2) UF Only Storage at 60°F/40% RH, and 3) ALF and HDF Processing at 74°F/50%RH. Each of these requires a dedicated HVAC system. 1. General Design Criteria: a. Redundancy: Manual supply air cross-connect damper. Redundant fan

in supply AHUs. Redundant desiccant AHUs. Redundant pumps. Redundant chillers if cost allows. Peer facilities visited during bench marking had no redundancy except for manual cross-connect.

b. Outdoor Air Cooling: 90°/77°F ASHRAE 1% c. Outdoor Air Heating: 30°F ASHRAE 0.4%

d. Occupancy: Storage for HDF and UF Only. Business with number of occupants listed in Administrative General, D. in the chart, for ALF and HDF Processing.

e. Ventilation: HDF and UF Only allow 0.05 cfm/SF outdoor air for pressurization (infiltration control). ALF and HDF Processing as required by ASHRAE 62.

f. Building Envelope Wall U value: 0.033 Roof U value: 0.025 Window U value: ALF only 0.75 (where added)

g. Equipment Density Lighting: HDF 0.75 W/SF, ALF 1.05 W/SF Equipment: ALF only 2.0 W/SF

h. Standards Florida Building Code 2010 ASHRAE 90A 2009 ASHRAE 62 2004 NARA 1571 with possible variations (as directed by Owner) for

HDF and presumed to be for UF Only as well. 2. Cooling Narrative: The LCCA considers a water cooled chiller plant (36°F), DX,

air cooled chiller with ice storage, and three different air cooled chiller schemes. The chilled water systems are more efficient, but have higher first costs. The higher first costs are exacerbated by the need to make at least minimal provisions for the planned future expansions. The existing facility planned for ALF and HDF Processing is served by two 20,000 cfm DX AHUs with 75 ton


condensing units. These units are intended for reuse, possibly with a chilled water coil retrofit. The total project cooling load is about 275 tons.

3. Heating Narrative: The HDF and UF Only spaces will be served by natural gas furnaces for heating and desiccant wheel regeneration. The ALF and HDF Processing spaces will be served by electric heat in VAV boxes. The total gas demand is 900 cfh.

4. HDF Narrative: Each module will be served by a 15,000 cfm constant volume desiccant AHU to provide 1 cfm/SF as directed by the Owner based on the experience of similar facilities. This air flow will be confirmed by CFD analysis. The ASHRAE recommended 6 ACH when full (2 cfm/SF) was rejected by Owner as too costly. The constant volume AHUs will include: 30% prefilters, 95% after filters, carbon filters, cooling coil, electric heat, and humidifier. Fan wall will be used to provide a redundant fan. The desiccant AHUs will include: precooling coil, recooling coil, gas furnace, desiccant wheel, outdoor air mixing box, two sets of 30% prefilters/95% after filters, and carbon filters. The desiccant AHU will be sized to handle 0.05 cfm/SF of outdoor air at the direction of the Owner. This scheme decouples supply and outdoor air for reduced cost. Supply air will be distributed above each storage shelving row with supply registers discharging air to each aisle. Return air will be routed below the bottom shelf of each shelving row. All ductwork will be galvanized steel. The AHUs will be provided with ductwork to allow cross connecting by opening manual dampers for an additional measure of redundancy. Space conditions are 50°F/35% RH and will be maintained by sensors mounted at three different elevations and averaged.

5. UF Only Narrative: This area will be served by a 9,000 cfm constant volume AHU to provide 1 cfm/SF as directed by the Owner based on the experience of similar facilities. This air flow will be confirmed by CFD analysis. The ASHRAE recommended 6 ACH when full (2 cfm/SF) was rejected by Owner as too costly. The constant volume AHUs will include: 30% prefilters, 95% after filters, carbon filters (if budget allows), cooling coil, electric heat, and humidifier. Fan wall will be used to provide a redundant fan. A desiccant AHU will include: precooling coil, recooling coil, gas furnace, desiccant wheel, outdoor air mixing box, two sets of 30% prefilters/95% after filters, and carbon filters (CM to price as an alternate). The desiccant AHU will be sized to handle 0.05 cfm/SF of outdoor air at the direction of the Owner. This scheme decouples supply and outdoor air for reduced cost. Supply air will be distributed above each storage shelving row with supply registers discharging air to each aisle. Return air will be low wall at one location. All ductwork will be galvanized steel. Space conditions are 60°F/40% RH and will be maintained by sensors mounted at three different elevations and averaged.

6. ALF and HDF Processing Narrative: The two existing AHUs will be reused. The system will be converted to VAV which will require new ductwork and VAV boxes with electric heat and SCR control. Zoning will be determined when the floor plan is finalized. Preliminary estimate is 30 zones.

7. Exhaust System Narrative: General exhaust for toilet rooms and custodial closets will be provided at 1 cfm/SF using centrifugal fans.

8. BAS: The existing DDC controls in ALF are not per UF Standards. These will be removed and an entire new BAS will be provided as required by the Program. Siemens, Johnson Controls or Automated Logic. The system will monitor: a. HDF desiccant AHUs and condensing units/chiller plant b. HDF water-on-the-floor alarms c. UF Only desiccant AHU and condensing units d. ALF and HDF Processing AHUs and condensing units


e. ALF and HDF Processing VAV boxes f. HDF electrical energy use (breakout metering required by Program) g. HDF gas use (breakout metering required by Program) h. ALF and UF Only electrical energy use (breakout metering required by

will track HVAC energy use, lighting energy use and domestic water use. l. HDF and UF Only grid of temperature and RH sensors to measure and

verify air distribution at lowest supply air flow. m. HDF and UF Only differential pressure to measure and verify

pressurization at lowest outdoor air flow. Separate metering for Internet Scribe (a non-UF tenant) was discussed and

rejected as impractical due to cost. Energy costs for this space will be included in the lease.

9. HDF/UF Only Specialties: These storage areas have the strict (50°F/35% RH and 60°F/40% RH) environmental requirements as previously discussed. As such, they are presumed to be designed per NARA Publication 1571 – Archival Storage Standards 2002. The following criteria are presumed to be achieved unless direction is given otherwise.
