The Project involves replacement of HVAC systems that serve the Luther Luckett Correctional Complex SMU Dormitory. Work of the Project will be performed at the SMU Dormitory located within both the LLCC and SMU security boundaries. Two AHU systems with electric heat and associated return air fan will be removed from the Second Floor Mechanical Room. The condensing unit for each system located outdoor at grade will be removed. Three replacement AHU systems each including a return air fan and outdoor condensing unit will be installed. Gas fired boilers, pump and expansion tank will be added to provide hydronic heating. The natural gas service within the building will be upsized to serve the added loads. A third AHU system is being added to provide additional zoning of the building. Modification of the existing ductwork will be necessary for the added HVAC system zone. Select fire protection piping will be reworked to accommodate the ductwork modifications. An exhaust fan is being added in a Second Floor Storage Room. Electric work of the Project involves removals associated with AHU systems replacement. A branch circuit panelboard will be added with circuits serving AHU systems loads, boilers and exhaust fans.
