FOUNDATIONS A shallow foundation system consisting of pad footings, wall footings and 12�inch thick frost walls and elevator pit walls/slabs may be included, depending on the design. It is assumed that the soil bearing capacity is approximately 3,500 lbs/sf. The building slab on grade is 5�inch thick over 6�inch of granular base course. Waterproofing will be provided on the elevator pit walls and under the pit slab. A reinforced vapor barrier will be provided under the slab on grade.

STRUCTURE The building structure is a structural steel frame with a weight of 8.5 lbs/sf. The three floors will be constructed with wide flange beams and girders with composite floor deck. The roof will be constructed with wide flange girders, beams, bar joists and metal roof deck. The steel structure will be designed for a live load of 100 lbs/sf. The three floors will have a 6�inch normal weight slab on metal deck. Eight�inch thick pads are to be included at the roof level under the RTU’s for sound and vibration dampening.

Please provide price for both the hydraulic and MRL style elevators – we will consider further. As stated below in more detailed section, please include traveler cables within estimate – to allow for easier key�card access adaption.

FIRE PROTECTION The MOB will have a wet sprinkler system in accordance with local building codes. Sprinkler heads will be quick response type with recessed heads located in center of tile. FM certification is not required. Not knowing the local water pressure conditions, please include a Fire Pump to supply fire suppression system.

PLUMBING Plumbing systems will be designed and installed in accordance with the current plumbing code(s). Domestic water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer piping will be connected to local utility services. Domestic water piping will be Type�L hard copper with Sweat Joint fittings. Hot water will be provided to all base building fixtures via most economical hot water heater. Tenants are required to heat their own hot water.

A Water Softener shall be provided if the hardness is above 120 PPM.

HVAC The HVAC system will be designed to provide a comfortable working environment for normal medical office use (based on regional climatic conditions). The MOB will be conditioned by using the appropriate CFM – VAV type packaged roof top units. For purposes of this estimate, unless contractor believes otherwise, please include (3) RTUs to supply air to building. The units will have DX cooling and gas fire heating capability. The MOB will have a dedicated exhaust system for the toilet rooms. General MOB exhaust shall be sized for normal medical office use, and will be stubbed to each floor. Building supply ductwork will extend down to the tenant floors through vertical shafts. Supply ductwork shall be designed and fabricated per SMACNA duct construction standards for 2�inch pressure classification and Class�A duct sealing. Supply ducts will be insulated with external fiberglass duct insulation and a foil�scrim�kraft vapor barrier jacket covering. VAV boxes will be provided for each zone within the shell and core.

The system will also be fully Web Accessible with the capability of sending out Critical Alarms via Email and Text Messaging. The system will include all necessary components including, but not be limited to, CPU, monitor, modem or Ethernet card. Testing and balancing will be completed by a certified AABC or NEBB testing firm.

ELECTRICAL The local utility will provide the transformer, primary conductors and primary terminations. The contractor will provide the transformer pad and conduits needed between the transformer and switchboard. The building electrical service will be a minimum 2000A or as required, 480V, 3�phase main switchboard. Ideally, Frauenshuh would like to provide tenants with 15 watts/square foot – this calculation is based off of total power available, less Core & Shell HVAC loads. Please provide recommendation on service size. Lighting installations will be designed to meet local energy code requirements. Interior lighting will meet the following requirements: Corridors: 20 fc, Toilets: 20 fc and Janitor’s Closets: 20 fc. Emergency exit lights will be battery back�up units and emergency lighting will be located within the fluorescent fixtures. The fire alarm system will be designed and installed in accordance with local codes.


Page 7

Each floor will have a common electrical closet, where the core and shell will provide breakers for tenants to tie�into the 277/480v feed. It is, therefore, the tenant’s responsibility to run the 277/480 feed back to their space (within conduit supplied by them), step down their power to 120/208 and meter their specific usage. The base building 277/480 feed is required to supply core and shell lighting and VAVs. Tenants are required to supply their own VAVs with the 277/480v power they’ve pulled to their space. Each floor will have a data closet with the common telephone / data connections. Please include cost for Fiber Optic. The MOB will have four (4) 4�inch telephone / data conduits serving the building from local utility firm(s).

SITE Storm water, sanitary sewer, domestic water, and site electrical connections are included in the shell MOB budget. Access roads and parking lot(s) are included within in budget and will remain consistent with the surrounding site plan. Please include a trash enclosure to accommodate the requirements of the MOB within construction estimate. Landscaping and irrigation system(s) will be provided and will meet all local codes / ordinances.

GENERAL

Please identify any items in the above outline scope that are not consistent with the local market and propose an alternate.
