Renovation of a mixed-use development in Ewing, New Jersey. Completed plans call for the renovation of a laboratory facility.

Consultants shall also have in-house capabilities or Sub-Consultants pre-qualified with DPMC in P005 Civil Engineering and P025 Estimating/Cost Analysis. The objective of this project is add a 2000kW diesel generator and 200kW uninterruptible power supply for building labs to the existing standby power equipment at the New Jersey Public Health Environmental and Agricultural Laboratory in Ewing, New Jersey The New Jersey Public Health, Environmental and Agricultural Laboratory (PHEAL) is a four story steel framed building that houses the Department of Health and the Department of Agriculture's laboratories. The facility (PHEAL) is a 191,000 sf building comprised of 157,000 sf of open laboratory space. Initially opened in May 2011, services were gradually moved from the old facility in Trenton over the course of approximately one year, with the last program to move in August 2012. Department of Health (DOH) services within the facility include: Public Health Laboratory Services (PHLS), Environmental Chemical Laboratory Services (ECLS), Office of Policy, Planning and Regulatory Compliance (OPPRC) and the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Services (CLIS). The PHEAL facility currently has one 2000 kW Diesel Generator that provides emergency power to the building and one 250 kW Diesel Generator that provides standby power to the building life safety loads such as emergency lighting and fire pump. These generators do not provide backup for entire building loads. The Department of Health has re-evaluated its essential lab programs and has determined that all lab programs at the PHEAL are needed to operate uninterrupted in the event of a power failure. In addition, the facility has experienced power outages resulting in interruptions to experiments due to the loss of continuity of power. Under DPMC Project A1344-00, the State procured the services of Gannett Fleming to evaluate the generator backup system at the PHEAL facility and recommend solutions to meet the needs of the facility. The evaluation resulted in multiple options, with cost estimates, for additional generator and UPS capacity. The options selected were Option 1 for a new 2000kW diesel generator and Option 3 for an uninterruptable power supply for building lab loads only. The "Standby Generator Feasibility Study" by Gannett Fleming, dated May 2021, is shown in Exhibit 'C'. The existing 2000kW diesel standby generator and existing 250kW diesel standby generator for life safety loads will remain.
