Chapter 02Executive Summary


This program document represents the final draft of scope established by the three end user groups as of this date. A requirement for a stand-alone Nitrate Storage Facility has been identified as a functional storage need, however the code requirements and other programmatic aspects of such a facility have not been researched or incorporated into this document. Upon future authorization by the University President to proceed into the Project Definition Phase, the scope, budget, and schedule for the project will be validated and updated. The requirements for the Nitrate Storage Facility, including site location and budget, will be further identified and the final Program document will be signed by all stakeholders.

Project Description and NeedWhile many groups at The University of Texas at Austin maintain collections of items including, but not limited to, documents, artifacts and photos; three groups are combining resources to share storage facilities on the Pickle Research Campus (PRC) – the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History (Briscoe Center), the Harry Huntt Ransom Humanities Research Center (HRC), and The University of Texas Libraries (UT Libraries). This group came together and identified their requirements in a 2015 Collections Master Plan which quantified the near- and long-term facility needs.

The three groups acquire, maintain, and store their collections in locations at the Main Campus and at the PRC. Located in north Austin, PRC has allowed the University to grow programs at a satellite location, which would otherwise be difficult to accomplish on a main campus in a downtown setting. The University’s Main Campus (bounded generally by Martin Luther King Blvd. and 15th Street at the south; Interstate 35 at the east; Dean Keeton and 27th Streets on the north; and Guadalupe Street on the west) has seen tremendous expansion and densification over the years and space on the Main Campus is at a premium. Sites for new construction at the PRC campus, bounded by Burnet Road, Braker Lane and Mopac Expressway, are under far fewer constraints than the available sites on the Main Campus and offer greater promise for the expansion of the University Collections.

The most recent storage facility, known as Library Storage Facility 3 (LSF3), is due to be completed in July 2017. While LSF3 will meet some of the immediate storage need, the Master Plan identified the need for additional storage, processing, and research areas to support the mission of these groups. The next step is the construction of the Collections Preservation and Research Complex (CPRC), which will provide the needed storage and support facilities to allow the users to make strategic moves, accommodate growth, and provide adequate research space. This document describes the needs for CPRC and this next step.

Program Objectives/Building OverviewThis is first and foremost a storage facility where fragile materials will be preserved to make them available for future generations. The CPRC project also provides for needed processing areas and provides dedicated space for researchers to view and interact with the materials. This Research Center will be the most public area within this new complex, and will allow materials to be viewed without the need to transport them out of the facility.

CPRC will be a warehouse style, tilt up construction with insulated panels for the high and low bay storage areas. The storage and research areas will not have windows, and floor penetrations and penetrations of the walls and roof will be as limited as possible. The building will have HVAC and dehumidification systems with particulate filtration, to maintain constant temperature and relative humidity levels appropriate for a variety of collections materials. The building will provide preservation-quality environments for print, AV media, film, photographs and objects.

Chapter 03Project Goals


Institution’s Mission Statement & Objectives The Mission of the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) emphasizes excellence in the areas of undergraduate and graduate education, research and public service as well as the “advancement of society through research, creative activity, scholarly inquiry and the development of new knowledge.” This is summed up in the university’s motto, “What starts here changes the world.”

The University of Texas Libraries advances teaching, fuels research, and energize learning through expansive collections and digital content, innovative services, programs, and partnerships to develop critical thinkers and global citizens that transform lives.

The Ransom Center encourages discovery, inspires creativity, and advances understanding of the humanities for a broad and diverse audience through the preservation and sharing of its extraordinary collections.

Through stewardship, scholarship, and outreach, the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History increases knowledge and fosters exploration of our nation’s past.

Compliance with Institution’s Strategic PlanThe core purpose of UT Austin is to transform lives for the benefit of society. The university creates and disseminates knowledge that advances human well-being while respecting the core values of learning, discovery, freedom, leadership, individual opportunity, and responsibility. These values are nurtured within a community of accomplishment and accountability. With a core purpose to preserve and store current and future library materials from multiple libraries, the CPRC facility has established the goal of preserving important educational items for future generations of students and faculty.

Project Goals 3-3FACILITY PROGRAMMING DOCUMENT – FINAL DRAFT – SEPTEMBER 2017

• University of Texas Libraries - The University of Texas Libraries are comprised of 12 libraries on campus and its collections were acquired over a 100 year period and reflect a commitment to build one of the best library collections in the world. The collections are the cornerstone of student education and university research. However, the shift in space in library facilities to student oriented collaboration spaces has forced University of Texas Libraries to reevaluate storage requirements for infrequently accessed materials.

Storage Need

Immediate NeedThe most recent storage facility, known as Library Storage Facility 3 (LSF3), is due to be completed in July 2017. While LSF3 will meet some of the immediate storage need, the Master Plan identified the need for additional storage, processing, and research areas to support the mission of these groups. The next step is the construction of the CPRC, which will provide the needed storage and support facilities to allow the users to make strategic moves, accommodate growth, and provide adequate research and processing space.

GrowthThe need for high density storage is a replication of the recently constructed LSF3 and will have all the same attributes and finishes. This high bay storage area is programmed for six aisles of storage rather than four, as in LSF3. Six aisles are recommended based on the analysis from the 2015 Collections Master Plan, as a four aisle approach would only meet the demand for high density storage space through 2022.

Library Storage Facility User GroupsThe building program section of this document identifies environmental and collection storage needs for the three user groups that were also a part of the Collections Master Plan.

• Briscoe Center for American History - The Briscoe Center for American History is a research center with archival, artifact and library collections that document Texas and American history. The Briscoe Center’s main home is in Sid Richardson Hall (SRH) on the east side of campus near Red River Street and the LBJ Library. However, due to rapid growth, alterations of existing space in SRH, and storage needs, the Briscoe Center currently stores in multiple buildings across Main Campus, PRC and in leased space.

• The Harry Ransom Center - The Harry Ransom Center (HRC) is an advocate for the study of arts and humanities through collections acquisition, preservation, and public exhibition. Its extensive collections provide unique insight into the creative process of writers and artists, deepening understanding and appreciation of literature, photography, film, art, and the performing arts.

HRC shares these resources with students and teachers, with an intellectually curious public, and with scholars who come from across the nation and more than 25 countries to conduct research that could not be carried out anywhere else. HRC has three classrooms reserved for courses that require extensive use of the collection material.

Their current facility, HRC, on the Main Campus is located on the original 40 acres at the northeast corner of Guadalupe Street and 20th Street. HRC underwent renovations of public spaces in 2003, and due to anticipated growth and reorganization of space, are currently undertaking a Master Plan for their facilities on Main Campus.


Project ObjectivesThe need for CPRC and its primary objectives were identified in the Collections Master Plan and were reviewed during the Visioning process and through programming interviews with users. The objectives of the project are:

• To provide for the storage needs for Cool High Bay, Cool Low Bay, and Cold Low Bay Storage. This storage will meet the requirements for a variety of unique materials and allows the items to be preserved in an efficient manner.

• To provide space for research and study. CPRC includes a Research Center with a flexible Reading Room that will allow selected formats to be studied onsite and, therefore, with no need to transport the items out of this secure facility.

• To provide processing space that will allow the required examination and treatment of items within the collection and to support the intake of new collections into CPRC.

Primary Program ElementsThis project builds upon the 2015 Collections Master Plan and follows the successful construction of LSF3. The program for the CPRC consists of seven main elements. These elements are:

1. Cool High Bay Storage (LSF4)

2. Cool Low Bay Storage

3. Cold Low Bay Storage

4. Processing Areas

5. Research Center

6. Circulation Spine

7. Mechanical Areas

The overall adjacency of the major elements is shown to the right. The diagram was updated and reviewed with the user groups during the programming work sessions. The main public entry to the facility will be into the Research Center. This main entry, and its architecture and landscaping, should be clearly recognized as the primary public access point and should be suggestive of the research which lies within the facility. A primary circulation spine will connect the CPRC building elements and will connect CPRC to the existing storage areas. The spine will be at least 10 feet wide to allow the passage of materials, carts, and personnel between the areas. Note that if large items are being moved the circulation space will need to be managed to keep personnel safe and clear during these special moves.

An additional special storage area is needed for Nitrate Storage, as these items are currently housed in the Harry Ransom Center. This small area has potentially volatile materials. This area should not be immediately adjacent to the CPRC and should be sited a safe distance from people and facility assets.


Summary of Storage Areas The storage areas are planned to accommodate the growth identified in the 2015 Collections Master Plan and the additional requirements uncovered in the program work sessions. During these work sessions, updated storage requirements were received from the three user groups that impact the need for Cold Low Bay Storage. After evaluation of this new data, the programming team determined that the programmed area for Cold Low Bay Storage outlined in this document will accommodate the storage needs through the year 2042.

Cool High Bay Storage (LSF4)This high density storage will have all the same attributes and finishes as LSF3. The cool high bay storage (LSF4) will have constant temperature and humidity conditions; 50 F, 30 % RH. This high bay storage area (LSF4) is also programmed for six aisles of storage rather than four provided in the recently constructed LSF3. Six aisles are recommended based on the analysis from the 2015 Collections Master Plan, as a four aisle approach would only meet the demand for high density storage space through 2022.

LSF4 will be served by a new picker similar to the one in use at LSF3. This Cool High Bay Storage will be adjacent to the Processing Area, loading dock, and the primary circulation spine.

Program SummaryThe program for the CPRC consists of seven main elements. A summary of the areas required is presented below.

Also note that a separate structure is needed for Nitrate Storage, but that this should not be immediately adjacent to the new CPRC functions. Additional details about the program areas are in this chapter.

guidance on safe storage and handling of still and motion picture cellulose nitrate-based film. Consideration should be given to Nitrate Storage in a separate structure. This small area has potentially volatile materials. This area should not be immediately adjacent to the CPRC and should be sited a safe distance from people and facility assets.

ProcessingA new processing area is needed to support the new storage areas. This space is made to support the intake of items into and out of the facility. Incoming items would be processed in this area and would then be routed to the assigned storage location. Requested or outgoing items would be staged and shipped out through this area. Like the majority of this facility, this is a controlled access area that would only admit authorized staff. While the Processing Area will have a higher temperature than the storage areas, the conditions and humidity control will prevent condensation as items are moved between zones.

The Processing Area receives items that have been in controlled collections and new items where the condition of the items is not known. To avoid mixing items and to prevent contamination, the processing area is divided into “Clean” and “Dirty” sides. Items from controlled collections or returning items would be processed back in through the Clean Side. New items that require evaluation and treatment would be processed through the Dirty Side. After treatment these items would be processed over to the Clean Side and to the storage location.

In addition to these Clean and Dirty Sides, the processing area also has the loading area where materials enter and exit the facility. Also note that the existing processing area in LSF2 will be re-purposed as swing space to facilitate items going into or out of existing storage areas.

Cool Low Bay StorageThis area is intended for large format items that cannot be efficiently stored in a standard high bay space due to size or weight. These items are typically stored to allow access from the floor or if racked, the top rack at 5’ - 0” high, can be accessed from floor level.

The research that occurs in this space would primarily be of large 3D object that should not be transported to the Reading Room. To support effective research a zone should be reserved for this type of activity and should include two writing tables to support note taking.

The Cool Low Bay Storage would be accessed off the circulation spine and adjacent to the Reading Room which is within the Research Center. This will allow researchers to view large materials and objects in the storage area, avoid the risk of moving these pieces, and keep the researchers close to the public entry and exit.

Cold Low Bay StorageThis area is primarily intended for the storage of film and color photos. The majority of these items can be trayed and boxed with a minimal amount of storage reserved for large format color photos. In some facilities, an acclimation room is required between a cold storage space and a room temperature space. However, since the entire facility will be maintained at conditions that do not promote condensation, an acclimation room is not required.

The Cold Low Bay Storage would be accessed off the circulation spine and does not have other critical adjacencies.

Nitrate StorageThe project requires approximately 334 GSF for Nitrate Storage, and such storage will be designed to comply with all applicable building and life safety codes, including NFPA 40 Standard for the Storage and Handling of Cellulose Nitrate Film. This standard provides complete


PROCESSING – LOADING AREA

The loading area consists of the loading dock, staging area, vestibule, and interior staging area.

The loading dock will be under cover and needs to accommodate two vehicles at one time. The vehicles will range in size from semi-trucks to standard pickup trucks. The space should include ample room for loading and unloading immediately adjacent to the dock. Incoming items arrive at the loading dock and are then off-loaded to a staging area. The staging area is sized for 20 pallets as a short term holding space for items as they are brought into the facility.

The items are next brought into the facility and will pass through a vestibule. The vestibule provides a buffer between the natural climate and the controlled environment within the facility. After passing through the vestibule, items are placed in an internal staging area that is also sized to hold 20 pallets. From this point the items will proceed to the Clean or Dirty Side of the processing area.

PROCESSING – DIRTY SIDE

This area is physically segregated from the rest of the processing area and is where materials and examined, receive treatment, and are determined to be free from insects, mold, or other contaminants. Once the items are “storage ready”, they will be moved to the Clean Side for the normal processing.

The first stop on the Dirty Side is the Quarantine/Inspection area. Two Quarantine areas are designated to support the examination of more than one collection at a time. After required treatment, the materials will come back to this area to confirm the materials are ready for storage.

If materials do require treatment, the next step will be the Processing Workroom. This area will support cleaning and treatment of materials. This area will have large worktables that can be grouped and organized to support a variety of materials and maintain segregation

between collections. This area will be immediately adjacent to a Mold Remediation Room, Freezers, and an Acclimation Area. The Processing Room is the hub of this area.

Special treatment may require mold remediation. This room has negative air pressure and a counter mounted fume hood. Other special treatment may require freezing. Two freezers will support this and a designated area for items to acclimate to the controlled temperature is immediately adjacent to the freezers. Note that this is not a room and is just floor space for staging items in an out of the freezers.

After the collection is clean and ready for storage, it will be transported to the Sorting Area on the Clean Side and will be processed into the facility.

PROCESSING – CLEAN SIDE

This area receives two types of items. One type includes The University of Texas items that have been on loan outside the facility and are returning to storage. The other type is materials that have never been processed into CPRC or another University of Texas collection, but have been treated and are deemed ready for storage.

The returning items are already barcoded, in the CPRC database, and can be marked for return to their storage location. Upon arrival into the facility these can be immediately moved from the internal staging area to a Returning Items holding area. These items can be logged back into the facility and sent straight to storage.

For new items or those coming from treatment, the process will start with the Sorting Area. This area will support 2 pallets and 2 worktables. At this point the materials will be sorted, organized, and barcoded as preparation for being assigned a storage area. Many of the items will be grouped and put in the cardboard trays used in the high bay storage. These trays and other storage materials will be pulled from the Shelving Supply Storage area which is adjacent to the Sorting Area.


The next step is Accessioning where the trays and collection of materials are entered into the CPRC database. This area is planned to support 4 large tables and 4 computer workstations. When this step is complete, the items proceed to the Carting/Shelving Area. In this area the items are placed on carts and made ready for the picker. Items that will go to the low bay storage will go a Cart Staging area, and will sit here until they can be delivered.

Other special areas are used as the materials and circumstances require. A Special Collections area is designated for materials that will require more time or special handling. Items that need to be scanned would go to the Digitization area and then return to Accessioning for normal processing.

An important note is that all these areas on the Clean Side are planned to be open to one another. Separating walls are not required and this will allow for future flexibility and reconfiguration if technology and processes change. Other spaces in proximity to this area include the Picker Recharge room and an area for Emergency Supplies.

recommended. If this approach is adopted, it would allow for flexibility and combinations to meet a wide range of needs. For sizing the small tables would use one 3’x 5’ table, medium tables would use two 3’x 5’ tables (combined dimension of 6’x 5’), and the large tables would use six 3’x 5’ tables (combined dimension of (9’x 10’). High quality lighting is important in the Reading Room. This requires special attention to color rendition for the general lighting levels.

Items requested to be viewed in the Reading Room would first arrive in the Staging Area that is immediately adjacent. A Meeting Room would also be adjacent to the Reading Room. This space could also be used for meetings with prospective donors and as an auxiliary reading room for special items and collections.

During the programming work sessions it was noted that large and heavy items would not be brought to the Reading Room. Instead, researchers would be escorted to the storage area to view these objects. Since objects of this scale are in the Cool Low Bay Storage area, this area needs to be immediately adjacent to the Reading Room. The access to the Cool Low Bay Storage area is through a control point from the primary building circulation. Card readers will control access from the Reading Room to the rest of the facility.

Note that the Research Center has the same temperature and humidity controls found in the Processing Area.

Research CenterThe current research area is located in LSF2 and includes a six-person conference table. This area is utilized by researchers viewing large quantities of books or long journal runs that are not practical to transport back to Main Campus. Given the increased volume of materials in CPRC, additional space is needed to support the researchers who will want to view materials. This increased activity will be accommodated in the new Research Center. The Research Center is a controlled access area, but is the most public part of the CPRC facility. The Research Center is the front door to CPRC, and contains the public areas, main Reading Room, and related areas. Given this public function, this area should have a higher profile and level of finish than the other areas of the facility.

The researchers would park in the designated parking area and would enter the building through the vestibule. The vestibule would not have exterior glass, as it will have a direct connection to the Reading Room and this area does not allow direct natural light. Within the vestibule the researcher will have access to lockers for storage of coats and personal items that cannot be brought into the Reading Room. From the vestibule the researchers will be able to access the restrooms and a breakroom. Note that the CPRC staff will also access these restrooms and breakroom and would badge in and out of the area.

The Reading Room is a large room with a reference desk, equipment area, a variety of tables and sizes to support research, and two “touchdown” office spots for staff from HRC, the Briscoe Center, or UT Libraries. Entry to the Reading Room is controlled by the reference desk. The reference desk has a direct view into the vestibule through a glazed opening.

A mix of sizes for research is allowed for and includes 4 small tables, 4 medium tables, and 2 large tables. For the purpose of this area analysis, a modular approach that uses combinations of 3’x 5’ tables is

Circulation SpineThe circulation spine is a connecting hallway that links the existing areas to the new CPRC facilities. This hallway is planned to be a minimum of 10 feet wide to allow the passage of materials, carts, and personnel between the areas.

Mechanical AreasAn allowance for mechanical equipment has been established for this program analysis. The final area requirements will be determined based on the equipment and by allowing appropriate clearances. The mechanical unit will be designed to accommodate environmental demands while maintaining a sustainable energy approach.

ParkingThe facility currently has 5 parking spots and will preserve these for staff use. Additional parking with 11 spaces is planned on the north end of the site along Innovation Boulevard. This would accommodate visiting staff from UT Libraries, the Harry Ransom Center, and the Briscoe Center, and provide space for visiting researchers.

Reuse of Existing Processing Space (LSF1)Also note that the existing processing area in LSF1 will be re-purposed as swing space to facilitate items going into or out of existing storage areas.

Space MetricsAssignable Square Feet (ASF) is the TERM used to measure area of a particular program space. Sometimes also referred to as Net Square Feet (NSF), this unit describes the area needed for the program use. The ASF square footage is assumed from dimensions taken from inside face of wall to inside face of wall of the assigned space.

Gross Square Feet (GSF) describes the total area bounded by the exterior dimensions of a facility, e.g. the area that would be measured by wrapping a tape measure around the outside of a building. This is larger than ASF as it includes area for such things as wall thickness, mechanical rooms, restrooms and other building support areas shared within the facility. The term ‘GSF’ appears primarily as a calculation factor on summary tables. Since individual departments do not reside in independent buildings, there is no such thing as a true GSF calculation for each of these user groups. Instead this number reflects a theoretical need for shared building support based on the size and character of each group. This theoretical need is calculated based on an efficiency factor applied to the ASF of each user group. The total GSF for the facility is then determined by tallying the Total GSF from all user groups. The overall building efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing the total ASF by the total GSF.

Building Efficiency Ratio is a multiplier used to estimate additional area required for such things as shared departmental and building circulation, building structure, wall thicknesses, mechanical and electrical rooms, etc. These are considered on a group by group basis. The mixed use nature of some spaces in this building necessitated the use of multiple efficiency ratios specific to each function.

Chapter 05Supporting Requirements


Supporting Requirements 5-3FACILITY PROGRAMMING DOCUMENT – FINAL DRAFT – SEPTEMBER 2017

IntroductionThis chapter provides additional requirements that affect the design and construction of the project. Information contained in this chapter outlines technical requirements of currently known issues. Some of the particulars may change to provide more suitable needs for the project once the design phase begins.

Landscaping Requirements

GeneralCPRC will be located to the west of LSF3 on the J. J. Pickle Research Campus at The University of Texas at Austin.

There are no formal lawns around these buildings, but appear to have more informal native meadow grass. All of the landscape surrounding LSF4 and associated processing and storage buildings will need to be removed prior to the start of construction.

Landscape and Public Space OpportunitiesThe CPRC will be accessible by the public with an entry readily identifiable with upgraded site elements and signage to give the complex a public entrance. This main entrance shall have upgraded architectural features complimentary to the building entry architecture. There will be no new added exterior public space other than sidewalks and parking. Landscape surrounding CPRC and adjacent buildings will be limited to revegetation of native grasses and wildflower mix.

Landscape Materials

PLANT MATERIALS

All landscape plant materials should be specified in collaboration with the design team and approved by OFPC and their facilities operations team. Aesthetics, sustainability, longevity and low maintenance

requirements should all be key factors in the selection of all plant materials. The areas disturbed around the new building should be repaired with a native grass seed mix.

SECO REQUIREMENTS

The temporary irrigation system and landscape plantings should be designed in accordance with the January 2011 State Energy Conservation Office (SECO) Water Efficiency Standards for State Buildings and Institutions of Higher Education Facilities regulations.

HARDSCAPE MATERIALS

Hardscape materials should be selected based on durability and aesthetics. Materials should complement the building architecture and match any pavement currently existing. When possible, materials should be locally or regionally sourced. The design of the hardscape areas as well as the selection of materials for those spaces should consider safety and maintenance. Lighting level requirements for the site should be studied to ensure adequate and safe illumination at new exits.

RAINWATER HARVESTING

The project is a state owned building; therefore falls under the requirements of TGC 447 which states that rainwater harvesting is required for buildings with a roof area over 10,000 square feet. UT sustainability goals will need to be evaluated along with assessing the economic feasibility to determine this requirement.

IRRIGATION SYSTEM

Although the native grasses do not require permanent irrigation after establishment, the Owner may elect to install a permanent gray water irrigation system which utilized the harvested rainwater.


Design LoadsThe facility will be designed for the following loads:

be at least 8” thick. The subbase under the floor slab will be at least 3 feet thick and consist of crushed stone material that will extend at least 3 feet beyond the building footprint. The crushed stone subbase will extend to the top of the tan weathered limestone stratum below. A below-grade drainage system will be installed prior to the placement of the subgrade and the excavation will be completely dewatered. The subbase will be compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum dry density as determined using TxDot Test Method TEX-113-E. The water content will be held to within 2 percent of optimum. The stone subbase will be topped with a 6 inch thick layer of well-compacted sand that will act as a capillary moisture barrier. Two layers of 10-mil vapor barrier will be provided under the slab and on top of the sand layer. The slab will be placed in 10’ to 15’ wide narrow strips and finished appropriately to achieve the required flatness. The pour strips will be located such that they fall within the racks and not in the drive aisles. An armor joint will be provided between the pour strips in the areas where fork lift or picker vehicle traffic may cross these strips. The slab will be reinforced with two layers of reinforcement and receive a high end finish at top.

Structural RequirementsCPRC will be a combined high-bay and low-bay storage facility. The overall dimensions of the high-bay storage area will be 212’ x 71’ with an approximate footprint of 15,000 square feet and height of 38’ to 40’. The low-bay storage area is an L-shaped structure consisting of cool and cold storage spaces, a Research Center, and a Processing area. The low-bay storage area has an approximate footprint of 28,500 square feet and height of 18’ to 20’. CPRC will be located next to the existing Library Storage Facility 3 (LSF3).

The wall façade will consist of insulated, load bearing, precast sandwich panels. The interior wythe will be a minimum of 8” thick for the high-bay storage area and 6” thick for the low-bay storage area. The exterior wythe will be a minimum of 2-1/2” thick. A layer of insulation will be sandwiched between the two wythes to meet the minimum R-value requirements determined by the coordination of the mechanical system and architectural design. The two wythes will be connected with carbon fiber reinforcement. Embed plates will be provided on the interior face of the interior wythe to support roof beams and bar joists. The precast panels will be supported on grade beams and straight shaft drilled piers that will penetrate at least 5 feet into the tan limestone stratum. The pier shaft diameters will be at least 30 inches and reinforced with a minimum of 0.5 percent steel. The new piers next to the existing LSF3 will be staggered so that they don’t interfere with the existing piers. The roof framing will consist of light gauge metal deck supported by steel bar joists that will be located at 4’ to 6’ on center. The bar joists will be supported on exterior precast panel walls and interior steel girders and steel columns.

The floors of the high-bay and low-bay storage areas will have a floor flatness, F-min = 60 and F-min = 40, respectively, measured according to ASTM E 1155 and recommended by the picker vehicle manufacturer, Raymond Corp. The floor flatness value is based on a maximum rack height of 32 feet for the high-bay storage area and 10 feet for the low-bay storage area. The picker vehicle expected to be used in LSF4 is the Raymond 5400 Orderpicker with a 3,000 lbs capacity and maximum elevated height of 30’-6”. The floor slab will

• High Density Storage: 0.95 watts per square foot

• Mechanical Mezzanine: 0.95 watts per square foot

OCCUPANCY GAINS

The occupancy heat rejection will be based on ASHRAE 2013 Handbook of Fundamentals, Chapter 18 for Walking, Standing:

• Sensible = 250 BTU/hr per person

• Latent = 250 BTU/hr per person

The number of occupants in each space will be based on the actual occupant density listed in the facility program for sizing equipment. Energy models will be based upon schedules determined with the help of the users

INFILTRATION GAINS

The building heat loss calculation will include an infiltration load based on 1.0 cubic feet per minute (cfm) of infiltration per linear foot of exterior wall.

The following infiltration rates will be used for doors:

• 200 cfm per door for exterior main doors

BUILDING ENVELOPE GAINS

Performance criteria for building envelope construction materials will be provided by the Architect. The envelope assemblies will be designed to meet minimum performance requirements of ASHRAE 90.1-2013.

provide a slight positive pressurization with respect to the outdoors. MERV 8 pre-filters and MERV 13 final filters will be provided in the air handling system mixed airstream for filtration of particulates.

The processing and support areas will be provided with an outdoor air rate through the air handling unit equal to the greater of: ASHRAE 62.1-2013 Ventilation Rate Procedure, or the amount required to provide a slight positive pressurization with respect to the outdoors. MERV 8 pre-filters and MERV 13 final filters will be provided in the air handling system mixed airstream for filtration of particulates.

Air Handling System ConfigurationThere are multiple options for how the air handling systems will be configured and controlled. Analysis will be done during the design to determine the feasibility (based upon life cycle cost analysis) of those options. The following is a proposed air handling system configuration for CPRC.

COOL HIGH AND LOW BAY STORAGE AREAS

The cool storage area air handling units will include process and regeneration air streams.

The process air stream will include the mixing of outside air and return air streams. The outside air will have a MERV 8 filter, outside airflow station, and control damper. The return air stream will have a control damper. There will be a heating hot water pre-heat coil in the outside air stream. After the return air and outside air mix, there will be a MERV 8 pre-filter and MERV 13 final filter prior to the desiccant wheel. The desiccant wheel will remove the moisture out of the air and drive the dew point down below the required space dew point. A face and bypass damper will be provided for the wheel for situations where dehumidification is not needed. The supply fan will draw through the desiccant wheel. A chilled water cooling coil will be downstream of the supply fan to handle the majority of sensible cooling. A direct expansion (DX) “booster” coil will be downstream of the chilled water coil to drive the supply air dry bulb temperature down near 40°F to

MOISTURE GAINS

Moisture will be added to the space from the building occupants, opening and closing of exterior doors, and envelope permeance and infiltration. Additionally, the storage areas will incur a moisture load from any material that is brought into the facility from a more humid environment. The daily turnover of storage material will be provided from the CPRC users. The air handling system latent capacity will be sized to handle the summation of these moisture loads, so as to maintain space environmental conditions.

Building Hours of OperationThe facility will allow 24-hour access to the building. The system could be designed with a capability for a night setback mode during unoccupied hours.

Ventilation and IAQ RequirementsThe high density storage area will be provided with an outdoor air rate through the air handling unit that will provide a slight positive pressurization with respect to the outdoors. This will equate to a pressure differential of 0.05 inches water column. Outdoor air is detrimental to preservation and needs to be reduced as much as possible. If the building pressurization calculations show that the required rate of outdoor air ventilation is less than the ASHRAE 62.1-2013 requirement, the design team will pursue a waiver with the authority having jurisdiction. An economizer cycle will not be provided for the air handling system for the reasons stated above.

MERV 8 pre-filters and MERV 13 final filters will be provided in the air handling system mixed airstream for filtration of particulates prior to the desiccant wheel. The location of the building does not warrant the need for activated charcoal filtration.

The processing and support areas will be provided with an outdoor air rate through the air handling unit equal to the greater of: ASHRAE 62.1-2013 Ventilation Rate Procedure, or the amount required to


handle the remaining sensible cooling to achieve the required space conditions. The regeneration airstream will include shutoff dampers on the outside air inlet and exhaust outlet. There will be a MERV 8 filter after the inlet damper prior to the DX condenser coil. The DX condensing coil will take the rejected heat from the DX evaporator coil in the process airstream to provide a significant portion of the heat for the regeneration airstream during the warmer times of the year. There will be a heating hot water coil downstream of the DX condenser coil sized to handle up to 100% of the heating requirement for the regeneration airstream. The regeneration fan will draw through the desiccant wheel and discharge the regeneration air to the outdoors. The desiccant wheel, supply fan, and regeneration fan will be provided with variable frequency drives to facilitate balancing and to allow for energy cost savings during low load conditions.

CPRC will have a completely separate supply air distribution zone from the rest of the LSF modules. There will be no interconnection.

The air handling units will not shutdown on an alarm unless it is due to a smoke detection at a supply or return duct smoke detector.

COLD LOW BAY STORAGE AREA

Multiple options exist for conditioning the cold storage area. One option is an air handling unit similar to the cool storage area, albeit maintaining lower space conditions. Another alternative is a packaged refrigerator with integral split system and side stream desiccant wheel injection loop. The ultimate approach shall be determined during the design phase.

RESEARCH CENTER AND PROCESSING AREA

The Research Center and Processing areas will be served from a single zone VAV rooftop unit, utilizing chilled water cooling and heating hot water. If UT desires individual space control, then a medium pressure VAV system or 4-pipe fan coils paired with a dedicated outdoor air unit should be considered. Either arrangement shall have the capability

to achieve the desired humidity level to avoid condensation when removing items from cool or cold storage.

Hydronic Systems

DESIGN CRITERIA – GENERAL

Chilled and heating hot water piping will be sized in accordance with pipe sizing tables contained in ASHRAE 90.1-2013. All control valves will be sized to provide proper valve authority at design flow rate.

Chemical treatment will be provided for both the chilled and heating hot water systems with the use of chemical shot feeders.

Options for location of the hydronic equipment will be evaluated during the design.

Energy cost savings options for the hydronic systems will be evaluated for feasibility (based upon life cycle cost) during the design. For example: variable frequency drives on pumps with differential pressure control versus constant flow.

HEATING HOT WATER SYSTEM

A high efficiency boiler will provide heating hot water to the air handling unit’s heating coils. Two 100% redundant circulation pumps will circulate the heating water through the system at a variable flow at 180°F with return at 160°F. Taps will be provided in the main loop for potential future connection to a centralized heating plant. The intent is to create a modular plant that will serve the future LSF modules and also potentially backfeed LSF1-3.

CHILLED WATER SYSTEM

A high efficiency air cooled chiller, located outside the building, will provide chilled water to the air handling unit’s cooling coils. Chilled water will be supplied at 44°F with a 54°F return temperature. Glycol will not be provided in the chilled water piping. The air cooled chiller


ControlsA modular direct digital control (DDC) system will be provided for the HVAC systems.

Standalone modules will control the air handling units and pumps. A controls network will link the standalone modules. Gateways will be provided as required to allow the integral controls for the air cooled chiller and boiler to communicate with the DDC system for the building.

Each DDC controller will have a minimum of 20 percent spare points of each type at each panel.

The controls for the air handling system for the high density storage area will be designed with capability for future seasonal space temperature and relative humidity set point adjustment for energy conservation. The controls for the VAV rooftop air handling unit serving the processing and support areas will have programmed setbacks for unoccupied periods for energy conservation.

The heating hot water system may include temperature reset based upon the outside air dry bulb temperature condition for energy conservation. The need will be dependent on the desiccant wheel performance curve.

The new DDC system for CPRC would interface with the existing DDC system in LSF3. If the controls for the existing storage facilities have been upgraded to new DDC controls by the time CPRC goes into design, then all the buildings would be interfaced together and viewable at the front end workstation.

The BAS will have the capability of monitoring domestic water, natural gas, and electricity meters. The heating hot water loop and chilled water loops will also be provided with BTU meters that will be monitored by the BAS.

will be provided with two integral 100% redundant pumps for variable flow distribution of the chilled water to the cooling coil. Taps will be provided prior to the piping entrance to the building for potential future connection to a centralized cooling plant. Exterior chilled water piping will be heat traced or one pump will be energized to circulate water through the system if the temperature falls below 32°F and the chiller is not in use.

Analysis will be performed early during schematic design to determine the feasibility (based upon life cycle cost) of interconnecting the heating hot water and chilled water systems for LSF1, 2, 3 and CPRC for redundancy and/or to share equipment capacity and redundancy.

Ductwork Systems

DUCT SIZING CRITERIA

Supply ductwork sizing will be based on minimizing fan horsepower while providing good air distribution. The ductwork in the high density storage area will be fabric type to distribute the air over the aisles at a low velocity. Supply air velocities will be based upon fabric duct manufacturer’s recommendations. Ductwork in general areas will be sized as follows:

• Medium pressure supply air ductwork (if necessary) will be sized for maximum velocity of 2000 fpm and 0.20 inches per 100 feet of duct.

• Low pressure supply air ductwork will be sized for maximum velocity of 1000 fpm and 0.08 inches per 100 feet of duct.

• Low pressure return air ductwork will be sized for maximum velocity of 700 fpm and 0.04 inches per 100 feet of duct.

• Low pressure outside air ductwork will be sized for maximum velocity of 800 fpm and maximum pressure loss of 0.06 inches per 100 feet of duct.


The BAS will have capability of trending various controls points including but not limited to space temperature, space relative humidity, cooling/heating BTU’s, etc.

System Start-Up, Testing, Adjusting and BalancingThe work will include start-up, testing, adjusting and balancing of HVAC air and water distribution systems including equipment, ducts, and piping for the project. Sound testing and vibration recordings for HVAC equipment will be included to reference basis of design levels. The commissioning process for HVAC systems will be impacted by curing time of the floor concrete and later by the introduction of the book and paper materials to be stored in the building. After collections are in place they will exert their own influence on internal humidity conditions. The air handling system will not be sized to handle the temporary increase in moisture gain to the space during the draw-down time as the moisture level in the books equalizes with the space environment. Adjustments to HVAC operating sequences may be necessary once the collections have come to moisture equilibrium.

Secondary distribution and branch circuit system design will be based on a maximum of 5 percent voltage drop from the building service point, in this case the 500 kVA pad-mounted transformer.

Neutral conductors will be sized at 100 percent of the phase conductors.

FAULT CURRENT

Short circuit withstand and interrupting ratings will be provided for electrical distribution equipment, feeder conductors, and the like based upon the available fault current. The available fault current will be determined in the design stages to follow. Equipment will have

Electrical Requirements

SERVICE CAPACITY (PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE)

The existing Library Storage Facilities (LSF1, LSF2, and LSF3) are currently served by a 500 kVA, 12.47 kV to 480Y/277V, pad-mounted transformer (PMT) and associated 2 line, 1 load pad-mounted switch (PMS) from the campus 12.47 kV distribution loop circuit A3:B3. The equipment is installed on a concrete foundation on the north side of the building, which was originally constructed to accommodate a 2 line, 2 load switch and (2) PMT’s to support future growth.

The existing transformer serves a 600 Amp, 480Y/277V switchboard via (2) 4” underground conduit each with (4) 250 kcmil conductors and a 1/0 AWG ground. The existing switchboard is a two-section switchboard constructed in a main-tie-main configuration with a normally closed tie breaker located on the mechanical mezzanine in LSF1. The normal source is tied to the campus power distribution system via the PMT and the emergency source (second main) is currently not connected. The switchboard serves all mechanical, miscellaneous house and equipment power, and lighting for LSF1, LSF2, and LSF3.

The most recent load analysis showed a total demand load of 202,639 VA for all three buildings. This calculation included a 30 day metered load for LSF1 and LSF2 plus the NEC calculated demand load for LSF3. The added load for LSF3 was approximately 125 kVA. From these numbers we could make a preliminary estimate that CPRC should be planned for around 250 kVA, as it will be a little more than twice the size of LSF3.

Although there is existing capacity at the PMT, the Main Switchboard in LSF1 does not have any spare feeder poles for handling the additional loads at CPRC and also does not meet the campus standard of having two sources with a main – tie – main arrangement. Therefore a new

service should be provided. This would require replacing an existing 15 kV, 3-way switch with a new two line, two load PMH-9 S&C pad mounted switch and providing two new pad mounted transformers sized to carry the full load of the LSF complex (preliminary estimate 750 kVA). A new 480Y/277V, 1000 A, Main-Tie-Main switchboard should be installed at CPRC and then used to backfeed LSF1.

Power DistributionAs described in the previous section, a new 480Y/277V, 1000A switchboard is to be added at CPRC. This would be powered from new site transformers. The new switchboard will route a feeder though the existing storage facilities to backfeed the initial LSF1 service. The new switchboard will also provide a feeder to a 480Y/277V panelboard and a floor-mounted dry-type distribution transformer. The transformer will provide voltage transformation from 480V to 208Y/120V and be connected to a receptacle and smaller motor panelboard.

The architectural and electrical design will be integrated so as to provide adequate space to install and maintain equipment. No electrical equipment subject to failure will be installed in any location that would require excavation or building modification in order to replace such equipment.

A main circuit breaker will be provided on the distribution board served from the existing switchboard and any panelboards fed from a transformer. Panelboards will be trimmed with door-in-door type covers.

Distribution panelboards will be UL 891 listed, dead front, totally enclosed in NEMA 1 enclosure. Plated copper bussing will be provided for all distribution panelboards. The main circuit breaker will be provided if not in sight of the source supply. Minimum interruption capacity will be 10,000 AIC or 22,000 AIC as dictated by design for 208Y/120V and 42,000 AIC for 480Y/277V.


As a minimum, motors 50 HP and above will have a solid-state soft starter. Soft start may be provided for lesser HP motors and will be coordinated with the mechanical engineer.

Selected motors will have a variable frequency drive (VFD) as described in other portions of this report. VFD drive specifications will require THD not to exceed 5 percent for voltage and 3 percent for current, and live voltage distortion not to exceed 5 percent. The supplier of the drive will be required to perform a harmonic analysis as defined in IEEE 519-1992 and employ output LC filters, harmonic filtering, and other equipment necessary to comply with criteria.

Lighting SystemA complete lighting system for all indoor and outdoor illumination will be provided. The lighting design will be practical, energy efficient, easy to maintain, and appropriate for the high bay nature of the space.

The basic of design for illumination levels will be in accordance with the IESNA Handbook Illumination Selection Procedure. The lighting power densities for this design will be below ASHRAE 90.1-2010 standards as outlined by UT Austin standards.

The following lighting levels (maintained footcandles on the work plane) will be provided:

• High Bay Storage: 30

• Loading Dock: 30

• Processing – Dirty/Clean Side: 30

• Picker Recharge: 30

• Vestibule & Coat/Bag Locker: 30

• Restrooms: 20

• Breakroom: 30

• Meeting Room: 40

• Reading Room: 40

• Security: 40

Lighting and receptacle panelboards will have 42 or 54 poles per section, as determined during design. Minimum interrupting capacity will be 10,000 AIC or 22,000 AIC as dictated by design for 208Y/120V and 42,000 AIC for 480Y/277V. Platted copper bussing will be provided in all panelboards. Main circuit breakers will be provided in all panelboards not in sight of the supply source. Circuit breakers will be bolt-on type. Phase, neutral, and ground bus material will be plated copper. Hinge trim with full-length piano-type hinges for panelboards will be provided along with a latch, lock, and key set at the door covering the circuit protective devices.

METERS

New meters will be installed according to UT Standards.

RECEPTACLE REQUIREMENTS

Convenience receptacles for general use will have an average of four duplex or two quad receptacles for 20A, single-pole circuit.

Receptacles designated for computer use will have a maximum of three duplex receptacles per 20A, single-pole circuit.

ASHRAE 90.1-2010 only requires receptacles located in classrooms, private offices, and open offices to have automatic control, so no provisions to shutoff receptacles will be provided.

MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND MOTORS

All pieces of mechanical equipment and motors will be provided with individual disconnects, starters, and/or fuses as required per manufacturer’s recommendations. These will be fully coordinated with the mechanical engineer during design.

All motors 1/8 HP and under will be 120V and wired no more than three per 20A, single-pole circuit. Motors larger than 1/8 HP and smaller than 1/2 HP will be 120V and have individual, dedicated circuits as required. All motors 1/2 HP and above will be 480V, 3-phase and be on individual circuits.


Interior storage area lighting will primarily utilize chain hung, high-bay LED fixtures for the high-density storage and chain hung, LED strip fixtures for low-bay, lobby, and electrical/mechanical spaces. Recessed 2’x4’ or 2’x2’ LED lights will primarily be utilized in finished spaces where a tile ceiling is to be installed.

Exterior lighting will utilize building mounted wall packs to match the existing installed fixtures. These will be 175W metal halide within a trapezoid housing with wide throw optics and natural aluminum finish. Exterior egress doors will utilize compact fluorescent fixtures with battery ballasts.

For ease of maintenance and lamp storage requirements, the lighting design will utilize a minimum number of different lamp and fixture types. When selecting luminaires, consideration will be given to current UT Austin standards and luminaires scheduled to be installed at LSF3. LSF3 utilizes LED lighting, which will also be used for the CPRC expansion to maintain consistency.

All luminaires used on this project shall be specification grade and of a quality appropriate to the application. Product selection will be based on luminaires aesthetics as well as quality of construction. Optical performance is critical to reducing energy usage; however, visual comfort with minimal glare must be maintained. Although many lighting products are marketed as energy efficient, care will be taken to specify those manufacturers whose product efficacy is based on engineered optical performance. Beyond quality of construction, manufacturers must also be committed to service for the life of the project.

It is intended that each product type will be available from multiple manufacturers. When only one product is found suitable for the application or when no other known acceptable product exists, unit pricing will be obtained to maintained an informed and accurate lighting budget.

Exit lights shall be LED type.

LED LIGHTING

• All lighting will have a matching color temperature of approximately 4,000K a CRI of 80 or higher and an expected life (L70) of 90,000 hours or greater. However, the reading room may require a higher color temperature or higher CRI or a higher illumination level to facilitate close examination of documents or objects.

LIGHTING CONTROL

• Lighting controls will comply with ASHRAE 90.1-2010 and UT Austin standards.

• During normal, daytime hours, one light at each end of the storage aisle will remain on and the remaining fixtures will be controlled by occupancy sensors. Once activated, the occupancy sensor shall keep the lights on for a maximum of 30 minutes of inactivity.

• Fixtures installed in electrical/mechanical spaces shall be controlled manually with line-voltage switches.

• Egress lighting will be provided with a battery and will be switched with the normal lighting. Upon loss of power, the battery will provide minimum 1100 lumen output for 90 minutes.

• Exterior lighting will be controlled via photoelectric cells or astronomical time switch, and will not be controlled by the building lighting control system.

Since lighting loads are anticipated to be minimal the lighting panelboards will be shared with other mechanical and 480Y/277V loads.

Exit signs and emergency egress lighting will be provided throughout CPRC to illuminate egress corridors and exits. Exit and egress lighting will be provided with batteries and will be switched with the normal lighting in the space


WIRING DEVICES

Receptacles and switches will be specification grade and rated for 125V, 20 Amps. Receptacles and switches connected to normal power will be white in color and be provided with stainless steel cover plates. Receptacles, switches and the like will have faceplate labeling identifying system panel and circuit.

GROUNDING SYSTEM

The existing equipment grounding system will be extended from the service entrance equipment to the CPRC electrical distribution and each branch circuit within.

All feeders and branch circuits will be provided with an equipment grounding conductor. Under no circumstances will the raceway system be used as an equipment grounding conductor.

LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEM

An NFPA 780 lightning risk analysis will be performed during design and UT will advise if a lightning protection system is desired. Based on previous calculations for LSF3, it is anticipated that a lightning protection system will be recommended and installed.

If the building currently has a lightning protection system, the existing lightning protection system will be extended over the new CPRC expansion. The entire lightning protection installation will be LPI recertified and receive system certification submittal form LPI176.

RAINWATER HARVESTING

SECO Water Conservation Design Standards apply to construction of a new state building or state-supported institution of higher education of greater than 10,000 square feet.

Treated graywater and alternate on-site reclaimed system technologies, including rainwater harvesting, condensate collection, or cooling tower blowdown, or a combination thereof, for non-potable indoor use and outdoor water-use shall be incorporated into the design and construction of each new building with a roof measuring at least 10,000 square feet.

Rainwater harvesting may be a candidate for this project. The design team should evaluate rainwater harvesting early in the design phase to determine if it is economically feasible for this project. In addition UT sustainability goals for this project need to be evaluated to determine whether rainwater harvesting is required.


Fire Protection Requirements

Fire Sprinkler SystemsThe entire CPRC addition will be protected throughout by an automatic fire sprinkler systems as required per IBC Section 903.2.9 for a Group S-1 occupancy. Wet pipe sprinklers will be provided for all building areas, temperatures will be maintained with a minimum temperature of 40˚F. The fire sprinkler system will be designed in accordance with the 2013 edition of NFPA 13, UT Austin Design and Construction Standards, and OFPC Owner’s Design Guidelines. (OFPC and UT FPS to confirm edition of NFPA 13 to be utilized 2013 vs 2016 and the applicability of the PMCS standards)


CPRC Sprinkler System Connection

The sprinkler system serving CPRC will be supplied by an 8-inch underground supply pipe equipped with free standing FDC, PIV, and exterior backflow preventer located in an underground vault. At the point of entry into the building, the 8-inch line will reduce down to a 6-inch sprinkler riser equipped with an isolation control valve, riser check, and waterflow switch.

Hazard Occupancies for Non-Storage Areas

The sprinkler system will be hydraulically designed per NFPA 13 to provide a minimum sprinkler density of 0.10 gpm per SF over the most hydraulically remote 1,500 SF. In light hazard occupancies such as offices, restrooms, and common areas, a 100 gpm hose stream allowance and maximum sprinkler spacing of 225 SF will be provided.

Ordinary Hazard Group 1 occupancies such as mechanical rooms and electrical rooms will be hydraulically designed to provide a minimum density of 0.15 gpm/sf over the most hydraulically remote 1,500 SF plus a 250 gpm hose stream allowance and maximum sprinkler spacing of 130 SF.

A reduction in the 1,500 SF design area may be incorporated for utilizing quick response sprinklers as permitted by NFPA 13 for wet pipe systems in light and ordinary hazard occupancies with ceilings up to 20 feet.

COOL HIGH BAY STORAGE AREA DESIGN CRITERIA

The building addition will contain a high density storage area with a rack configuration and commodity classification very similar to the existing high density storage area utilized in LSF3. The Cool High Bay Storage (LSF4) high-density rack system is planned to have the following characteristics:

• Configuration: Single row racks and single row racks placed back to back (double row racks)

• Shelving: Solid metal surface with a shelf area less than 20 square feet and flue spaces provided on three sides and an aisle on one side. For the purposes of this design, the single and double row racks are considered as “open racks” as permitted by NFPA 13 Section 3.9.3.7.7, and 3.9.3.8. The provisions of NFPA 13 for solid shelves are not applicable.

• Commodity Classification: Class III Commodity with the primary storage consisting of books, research papers, reports, magazines, newspapers, maps and other paper based documentation in corrugated containers either closed or open top.

• Storage height: Maximum 35-feet above finished floor

• Ceiling height: 40-feet or less

• Clearance to fire sprinkler deflector: 3-feet minimum

• Flue space - Nominal 6-inch transverse flue space

- Nominal 6-inch longitudinal flue space


The fire suppression method for protecting the racks can be achieved in several ways. In the LSF2 high density storage area, racks are protected using control mode density area overhead sprinklers and in-rack sprinklers with design criteria established by FM Global provided in a letter from Mr. David Fuller, FM Global to Mr. Reese Dill, Dill and Company. The FM Global design criteria provided below does not meet the height limitation for storage in the 2013 Edition of NFPA 13 for the type of sprinkler system and racks installed. Based on NFPA 13 Table 16.3.1.1, the top of storage must be limited to 30 feet, unless in-rack and face sprinklers are provided. Currently the top of storage is indicated at 32’-8”. OFPC and UT FPS must determine if the LSF3 design criteria provided by FM Global is applicable to the CPRC sprinkler design in lieu of NFPA 13. The FM Global design criteria exceed the minimum sprinkler system design density and provide 0.40 gpm/sf over 2,000 square feet and an increased hose stream demand of 500 gpm. NFPA 13 will permit a design density of 0.30 gpm/sf over 2,000 square feet and a hose stream of 250 gpm.

• Building Height: 35 feet

• # of Racks: 7

• # of Shelves: 30

• Long. Flues: 6 inch

• Storage Height: 31 feet

• Rack Depth: 6 feet 6 inch

• Aisle Width: 4 feet 6 inch

• Trans. Flues: 6 inch

• Solid Shelf Area: 13 square feet

• Ceiling - Control mode density area sprinklers designed for a 0.40 gpm/ft2 over the most remote 2000 ft2 operating area. Include a 500 gpm demand for a hose stream allowance.

• In-Racks - Two levels of in-rack sprinklers at the approximate 10 ft and 20 ft levels.

- Install one longitudinal sprinkler line at each level.

- Install sprinklers at every transverse and longitudinal flue space intersection (approximately every 60 inches laterally).

- Design in-rack sprinklers for the most remote 14 heads (7 on two lines) flowing a minimum of 30 gpm each.

- Use quick response 160°F rated sprinklers.

- It should be noted that this design does not require face sprinklers. This is because of two factors: the relatively shallow rack depth (6 ½ feet), and the open longitudinal and transverse flue spaces. If either of these parameters is modified, face sprinklers and/or vertical barriers would be recommended. This protection approach is strictly limited to the building and storage parameters listed above and should not be extrapolated to any other storage configuration or building height.

Where NFPA 13 is enforced in lieu of any FM Global criteria, NFPA 13, Table 16.3.1.1 criteria must be followed. As indicated in the table, if the storage height exceeds 30 feet, face sprinklers must be proved in addition to the in-rack sprinklers. Where face sprinklers are provided, they will be located a minimum of 3-inches behind the rack uprights and no more than 18-inches from the aisle face of storage. Locating the sprinklers behind rack uprights will provide additional protection from accidental mechanical damage. Longitudinal flue in-rack sprinklers will be located at the intersection with the traverse flue space. In-rack sprinklers will be located near rack uprights but will maintain a minimum of 3-inches radially from the side of all rack uprights to allow adequate sprinkler discharge development per NFPA 13 Section 6.1.11. It is anticipate that two levels of in rack sprinklers will be provided

SPRINKLER TYPES AND LOCATIONS

Quick response sprinklers will be provided throughout the building unless indicated otherwise. Concealed pendent sprinklers with cover plates will be installed in areas with suspended ceilings for better aesthetic appearance and increased protection from accidental


mechanical damage. Brass upright sprinklers will be installed in mechanical rooms, electrical rooms, and similar areas exposed to structure.

• No fittings or joints will be located over electrical equipment, and pipe within electrical rooms will be routed down equipment aisles. 1-inch pipe will be Schedule 40 with threaded fittings, and pipe 1-1/4-inches and larger will be Schedule 40 with roll-grooved fittings. Piping concealed within inaccessible shafts or walls will be welded. All system components will be UL-listed and / or FM Global approved for fire protection service.

• Provisions will be included in the design to monitor and manage the effects of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). An injection port will be installed on the sprinkler system riser manifold to allow the campus to manually introduce chemicals into the system during filling to inhibit corrosion in the system over time. Corrosion monitoring stations consisting of a coupon rack, corrosion monitoring probe, and pressure switch supervised by the fire alarm control panel and will be installed at the sprinkler riser to monitor corrosion. Automatic air vents will be provided at the high points of the sprinkler system to help slow corrosion by reducing the amount of air/oxygen remaining in the system after filling the system with water.

SYSTEM DRAINAGE

All standpipe and sprinkler system drains will be piped to the sanitary sewer system or building exterior at an approved location. All sanitary sewer drains will be adequately sized for the highest anticipated flow rate, which will typically require all drains to be greater than 4 inches in diameter. A post indicator type valve with tamper switch will be located on the underground fire water line(s) serving the building where provided.

UT FPS to verify if hose valves are required in CPRC. Currently, LSF2 is equipped with 2-1/2” hose valves with 1-1/2” adapters located in the high density storage module, but LSF3 is not equipped as such.

These hose valves are not required by NFPA 13, but may be provided if required by the AHJ.

Fire Flow and Water Supply AnalysisThe minimum required hydrant fire-flow for the building will be based on IFC Appendix B Table B105.1. The total fire flow is anticipated to be reduced by 75 percent based on IFC Section B105.2 since the building will be protected throughout with an approved automatic sprinkler system. Fire hydrant spacing around the building and the maximum distance from any point on street or road frontage to a hydrant will be provided around the building per IFC Appendix C Table C105.1.

Existing water supply data at the project site indicates an available water supply of 89 psi static, 83 psi residual, at 1,186 gpm. This data is dated August of 2015 and will be used as the bases of design until new water flow test data is obtained.

• A 10 percent or 10 psi safety factor, whichever is greater, is required at the fire sprinkler water source in the hydraulic calculations for the fire sprinkler and standpipe systems per City of Austin amendments to IFC Section 903.3.5.2.

Fire Alarm SystemThe building will be protected throughout by an intelligent, addressable voice / alarm communication system as required by UT Austin, designed in accordance with 2013 NFPA 72 and NFPA 90A utilizing two-channel audio. The existing Simplex 4100ES fire alarm control unit (FACU) is located in the LSF2 building where readily accessible to the responding fire department. This panel will be used to serve CPRC. The panel will monitor automatic smoke detection in all required areas, manual pull stations, and sprinkler water flow and valve tamper switches. The FACU and remote power supplies will have standby batteries for secondary power supply. The voice paging capabilities will also allow the system to selectively notify building occupants in a mass notification event. A remote LCD annunciator panel may be located at the main entrance(s) to the building to better identify the


source of an alarm for fire department first responders. The fire alarm system will be monitored by the UT Campus-wide fire alarm network . UT FPS to indicate desired method of monitoring.

An alternative to using the existing (recently upgraded) FACU located in LSF2 would be to provide a new panel in LSF3 Further discussion with the owner is necessary to determine if this is desired.

Emergency Communication System (ECS)The FACU will be interfaced with an in-building emergency communication system panel located adjacent to the fire alarm control panel. The ECS panel will be provided by Federal Signal or approved equal and communicate with UT PD via Ethernet connection. Messages received by the ECS panel will utilize the fire alarm system to broadcast the message throughout the building with the fire alarm speakers. During an ECS message, fire alarm audible notification will stop until the ECS message is complete. The fire alarm notification will then resume until the FACP is reset and the source of alarm is mitigated. A local operating console with microphone will be provided at the building manager’s office or at the fire alarm panel as directed by UT FPS. Priority will be given to ECS and fire alarm messages.

WIRING AND CIRCUIT INTEGRITY

Fire alarm system wiring will be provided in conduit permanently mounted to the structure and color coded. Plenum rated cable may be utilized only where circuits are installed above accessible ceilings in areas where Level 0 survivability is permitted. The fire alarm system will utilize Class A Signaling Line Circuits (SLC), Class B Initiating Device Circuits (IDC), and Class B Notification Appliance Circuits (NAC) per UT Austin Design and Construction Standards.

NOTIFICATIONS

Speaker / strobes, speakers, and strobe-only occupant notification appliances will either have no marking or be marked with the word “ALERT” engraved in minimum 1-inch-high letters on the faceplate. Appliances will be provided throughout the public and common areas

of the building where required per NFPA 72, ADA, and TAS. A sufficient quantity of notification appliances will be provided to meet the minimum audible, intelligible, and visible room spacing requirements listed in NFPA 72. Visible and audible notification appliances are required throughout mechanical and electrical rooms per IBC and NFPA 72 since they are considered common work areas.

The audible speakers in all areas of the building will provide a minimum of 70 dBA or 15 dB above ambient conditions, whichever is greater, with at least one speaker in every space for voice intelligibility. Where speech intelligibility is required, it will be measured in accordance with IEC60849, Sound Systems for Emergency Purposes, and meet or exceed a common intelligible scale (CIS) score of 0.70. The contract documents will include an ADS schedule indicating where speech intelligibility is required in the building with performance criteria.

Upon receipt of a fire alarm signal from LSF1, LSF2, LSF3, and CPRC, notification appliances will be activated throughout LSF1, LSF2, LSF3, and CPRC as a general alarm. A manual override for emergency voice communication will be provided with a selective and all-call basis for all paging zones. Paging zones will be based on LSF1, LSF2, LSF3 and CPRC.

DETECTION

Smoke detectors will be provided above the main fire alarm control unit and above remote power supply and amplifier panels to protect the panels.

Duct detectors will be installed in the main supply and return air ducts or plenums of each HVAC unit with an air flow rate of 2,000 cfm or greater per NFPA 90A and IMC for compliance with OFPC and State Fire Marshal requirements.

Duct detectors will be connected to the fire alarm panel as supervisory devices and will automatically shut down the associated HVAC unit at the motor starter, in lieu of the Building Automation System. Control relays will be located within 3 feet of the HVAC motor starter. Duct detectors will also be provided within 5 feet of any fire/smoke damper


or smoke damper installed per IBC to initiate closure of the associated damper for protection of smoke barriers within the building.

Manual pull stations will be provided within 5 feet of each exit door from the building. Pull stations will be provided with Stopper II (or equivalent) protective covers that incorporate an electronic tamper switch and audible peizo alarm if operated. Stopper II covers will be 24 volt and powered by the building fire alarm system via a dedicated remote power supply (verify requirement). Activation of any manual pull station, smoke detector, or sprinkler water flow switch will initiate a fire alarm signal throughout CPRC in addition to LSF1, LSF2, and LSF3, unless otherwise determined by the governing fire marshal. Any magnetic door locks, door hold-open devices, or fire rated overhead doors will be released upon any building fire alarm signal or loss of power to the fire alarm panel. Fire alarm, trouble, water flow, and supervisory signals will be transmitted automatically to the Campus Wide Proprietary Supervising Station System at the UT Police Department.

Portable Fire ExtinguishersPortable fire extinguishers will be located throughout the building in accordance with NFPA 10 for a maximum travel distance of 75 feet from any point within the building. Multi-purpose dry-chemical type fire extinguishers rated for 4A:60B-C will be utilized unless directed otherwise for document preservation. Carbon dioxide or clean agent extinguishers may be provided in special equipment areas with sensitive electrical equipment.

The telephone system will be an extension of the existing PBX or VoIP with analog gateway connections system. Provisions for these systems will be made for the High Density Storage Addition.

INFRASTRUCTURE CABLING

The design for communications systems will include a preferred vendor/basis of design warranted, vertical and horizontal cabling scheme designed to support both current and future network technologies in accordance with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802 Committee and Telecommunications Industry cabling standards. The latest revision of the Telecommunications Industry Association/Electronic Industries Alliance (TIA/EIA) and Building Industry Consulting Service International, Inc. (BICSI) Methods


cables used to make connections at the work area and TR. The total combined length of cords and cables shall not exceed 328 ft. (100 m). If a room meeting these requirements cannot be located, an additional room(s) will be necessary.

New TR(s) will be planned to accommodate the initial telecommunications construction with consideration for future expansion. The TR will require electronic access control and will be provisioned for the installation of equipment racks and frames, vertical and horizontal wire management, overhead Telco style cable runway, UPS System, and Telecommunications Grounding Busbar. Additional specific utility requirements for these rooms include fire protection, evacuation speaker, environmental (HVAC), electrical, emergency power, lighting, and cable fire stopping.

The TRs will be in operation 24 hours a day. Climate control requirements for the TR will include an operating temperature range of 64° – 75° F (18° - 24° C), with a relative humidity range of 30% - 55%. Air conditioning type will be non-condensing. Surfaces should be treated to reduce dust, avoid static electricity by utilizing static dissipative tile or sealed concrete, and walls painted white for visibility. Lighting shall be a minimum of 50 ft. /candles (500 lux) measured 3 ft. (1.0 m) above the floor and equipped with emergency lighting and fire extinguishing system. Rooms should be located away from sources of electromagnetic interference, and no piping, ductwork, mechanical equipment or power cabling is permitted to pass through the TR. Convenience duplex outlets will be mounted at 6 ft. intervals around the room.

ANSI/TIA/EIA 19” Equipment Racks, 7 ft. (2.1 m) high by 19 in. (0.5 m) wide with 3 in. (0.75mm) deep channels will be used in the TR for mounting fiber optic, voice, and data patch panels and network electronics. The equipment racks will use a system of vertical and horizontal wire management for cable and wire segregation.

Overhead cable runway (ladder rack) in the TR will be mounted to the equipment racks and to the walls for support. Horizontal cables and building backbone riser cables from cable tray, independent supports and conduit will be placed and distributed to the equipment racks via the cable runway and dedicated electrical power outlets for network electronics and power strips will be mounted to the back of the runway. Vertical sections of cable runway will be used at floor or ceiling conduit penetrations for transition to the overhead cable runway.

CABLE PATHWAYS

Building communications pathways will be provided for the installation of distributed structured cabling in the building. Communications cable trays, conduits, independent cable supports (J-hooks), raceways, outlet junction boxes and other intra-building distribution facilities will be sized and configured based on the installation requirements of the total number of locations, cords and cables, and planning for future expansion.

Communications cable trays will be routed at ceilings and will be accessible to install and maintain cables with top and side access to the tray. Cable tray sections will be supported with trapeze hangars and joined using manufacturer splice plates. Cable tray layouts will serve all areas of the building requiring 50 or more cables. Communications cable trays will enter the TR from above or below the floor via fire-stopped penetrations. Physical separation of communications cable tray and power conduits will be determined by the highest operating load in any one conduit within the conduit bank. Trade size 1-1/4” (32mm) conduit from cable tray to information outlets will be used for manufacturing cable pathways and a combination of conduit stub-ups and J-hooks from cable tray to information outlets will be provided for Voice and Admin cable pathways.

DESIGN ASSUMPTIONS AND CRITERIA

Jacobs Engineering assumes that all site utility systems are of sufficient capacity to support the loads of this project. It is anticipated that the existing systems have the capacity for expansions through the installation of additional components and wiring minimizing cost. Further analysis of the system overall capacities and limits are not substantiated through this effort. UT Austin will provide network communications or telecommunications equipment and specifications (i.e., hubs, network cards, bridges, router, remote telephone PBX equipment and station apparatus).


Signage Requirements

UT Austin Signage StandardsThe new exterior and interior signage program for CPRC will be consistent with the UT Austin Signage Standard that is currently being used on campus to reinforce the UT Austin brand, creating a seamless transition between the existing facility and the addition.


Civil RequirementsThe facility will be connected to LSF3 at the same FFE elevation and will be provided with domestic cold water, natural gas and sanitary sewer and vent piping. It is the intent of the document to allow each design team member to understand the design of the civil component at each design phase.

Site Drainage and Subsurface Drainage System

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

While LSF3 drained to the east and to the previously constructed pond, familiarity with the previously prepared design survey indicates that the CPRC expansion and the associated processing and storage buildings and new grading regime (pavements and sidewalks) will drain to the west and will require a new water quality and detention pond, as this new impervious cover will trigger that requirement. As LSF3 and LSF2 utilized a subsurface drainage system to a groundwater ejector pump sump pit sized for both buildings, it is likely that this facility will utilize a new system of similar size and eject groundwater to the western pond.


New parking stalls will be required for this project and the concept plan indicates 11 full size stalls (9’ x 18.5’) with no compact stalls. To match the existing stalls and the pavement of Innovation Boulevard, asphalt pavement of medium to heavy duty cross section is proposed. A geotech report will be required to confirm the thickness of asphalt and base associated with each asphalt pavement section. The minimum slopes for concrete pavement will be 0.5% and for asphalt pavement it will be 1%.

Final Floor Elevation of CPRC and the associated Cool High Bay Storage and processing building are to match LSF3.

ADA accessible routes and handicap stalls will utilize connections to LSF3 as well as a new route north to Innovation Boulevard,

New water quality and detention pond sized to the west and south of the new expansion utilizing City of Austin requirements for volume and flowrate control of the proposed conditions back to existing conditions. Rainwater harvesting system, if utilized, will decrease the water quality volume of that portion of the pond. Coordination with the Owner and landscape/irrigation design team for stormwater reuse is anticipated.

A continuous firelane loop, paved for heavy duty truck loading (H20 rating), is anticipated around the west side of the facility and will be master planned around the proposed western side of LSF6, since dead end turnaround pavement is likely to exceed 149’ and therefore triggering the loop. Other options for meeting the City of Austin requirement (International Fire Code Section 503.2.5) hammerhead or cul de sac are available but their geometry are not conducive to this site.

Wet Utility System

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

CPRC and the associated Cool High Bay Storage and processing building will utilize a new domestic waterline, new fireline and new wastewater line into the new building from Innovation Boulevard. The existing fireline on the west side of LSF3 to the existing hydrant on the Southeast corner of LSF2 will be redesigned to run on the east side of LSF1 following the drive aisle and reconnect the existing hydrant with a single feed 8” fireline not running under the facility nor any of the associated processing and storage buildings. See section above for continuous paved firelane around the west side of the complex.


Domestic waterline is anticipated to be a 2” line, new fireline is anticipated to be 6” line, both of which tie into the existing waterline system downstream of the Waterline Access Vault serving LSF2 and LSF3. A new wastewater line is anticipated to be 6” with gravity flow (no wastewater lift station or pumps) northward to the existing 8” gravity sewer on the south side of Innovation Boulevard.


Dry Utility System

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Coordination with the Owner and Jacobs plumbing design team for Telecom service is anticipated. For natural gas, a new 2” natural gas line will be routed below grade to the new building meter/regulator assembly (see Plumbing) from the existing 4” main gas line on the site.

Existing Utilities

Site and Infrastructure ImprovementsThe existing utilities come into the site on the north side serving the existing LSF facilities. The CPRC expansion will require new domestic waterline, new fireline and new wastewater from Innovation Boulevard. The existing fireline on the west side will need to be rerouted to accommodate the CPRC expansion.

Site AnalysisThe analysis includes looking at existing vehicular and building access, fire lane access and existing site utilities.

Vehicular & Building AccessCars and trucks currently enter the site north of the building from an internal campus road and vehicular access to the site occurs off Innovation Boulevard. Currently the storage facilities have vehicular access on three sides and with the construction of the new CPRC access will be on all four sides with new drives and road constructed

around the site. Truck access to the new facility will occur on the south side of the site at the loading docks. Adequate turning and backing space needs to be considered for these large vehicles, as they will drive westbound past the dock and will then need to back in to the Processing Area to load and offload. The new main entry point to CPRC will be centrally located on the north side of the site. The facility currently has 5 parking spots and staff will preserve these for staff use. Additional parking with 11 spaces is planned on the north end of the site along Innovation Boulevard. This would accommodate visiting staff from UT Libraries, the Harry Ransom Center, and the Briscoe Center, and provide space for visiting researchers.

Figure 6-3: Vehicular and Building Access


Fire Lane AccessThe current facility is surrounded by roads on three sides and a continuous firelane loop is anticipated around the west side of the facility. This would give full access during the event of a fire from all four sides. There are also four fire hydrants currently located on the site: three to the north and one to the south of the building. Additional hydrants will be provided as the facility expands.

Existing Facilities Study 7-3FACILITY PROGRAMMING DOCUMENT – FINAL DRAFT – SEPTEMBER 2017

IntroductionThis section provides information on the existing facilities located on the proposed CPRC site. Information regarding existing buildings is documented to present how the CPRC will connect and relate to future expansion phases.


LSF1 The first module was built in 1993 as a two story facility approximately 35,595 SF. The building is occupied by five user groups: the College of Natural Sciences, the department of Geological Sciences, and University of Texas Libraries. The College of Natural Sciences occupies 10,750 SF in the east portion of the building. This area houses vertebrate storage and support spaces. The Department of Geological Sciences occupies 6,200 SF in the west portion of the building and uses their area for storage and offices. Restrooms in this portion are shared by both libraries and geologies staff. University of Texas Libraries occupies the remainder of the building (17,885 SF) and houses a high density library storage in the center with processing spaces in the north-west portion of the building. The other two user groups occupying LSF1 are the Institute for Geophysics, Jackson School of Geosciences and the Department of Integrative Biology.

The high bay module is placed in the center of the building to take advantage of the tallest portion of the pitched roof. The mechanical systems for the cool storage module are adjacent to the high bay module on a second level mezzanine within the geological storage area. The facility runs at temperature and humidity set points 53°F and 32% RH. The collections are accessed by a semi-automated, high-bay storage picker.

Processing areas for Libraries include a loading dock, picker charging area, and general collections processing. The loading dock is used for all incoming and outbound books and can accommodate all truck types, except seesaw trailers, with a hydraulic lift. The picker charging area doubles as an air lock space between the cool, high density storage and the room temperature material processing area which includes work stations for staging, sizing, boxing, and digitizing.

LSF2 The second module was built in 2009 and is approximately 13,145 SF. The building is constructed of tilt-up insulated concrete panels, a “super flat” floor, and an asphalt base roof. The main building entry is located in this facility along a circulation spine which connections LSF1 and LSF2 through an opening in the research area. The two modules share the loading dock and processing and research spaces.

LSF2 houses a 10,000 SF high density storage area, a research area, a decontamination freezer, a picker recharge area, and a restroom.

The high density storage area consists of eight rows with four access aisles of 30ft high shelving that is accessed by a semi-automated picker. Aisles 13 and 14 belong to Texas A&M as part of an prior agreement made during fundraising. These aisles are only half full at this time. The “super flat” floor in this area allows for level shelving and safe retrieval of books from large heights with the picker. The storage area has the capacity to hold approximately 1.4 million volumes.

The mechanical systems sit on a mezzanine at the north end of the storage module in a configuration similar to LSF1. The facility runs at a constant temperature of 52°F and 35% RH. Future storage modules will be kept at a similar temperature but may be designed with a higher degree of fluctuation.

Support spaces include a research area and decontamination freezer. The research area is utilized several times a month by users looking at large journal runs or items that are too cumbersome to ship back to Main Campus. The decontamination freezer has a backlog of items waiting from various users at the University of Texas. There has been interest expressed in expanding this high use piece of the program in later phases.

Hazardous MaterialsHazardous material and abatement studies will be procured (or initiated) on the existing site. These reports will determine the extent of hazardous materials. For any proposed library storage facility addition, an abatement study needs to be completed in advance of the renovation. These studies are time sensitive and can adversely affect the project schedule if not resolved well in advance of demolition.

Temporary FacilitiesTemporary facilities have not been identified during the CPRC programming process.

Items to be ReusedThere are no items to be reused for the CPRC. However, the pickers used for LSF1,LSF2 and LSF3 shall be compatible with the aisle configuration in LSF4. The shelving components from LSF2 and LSF3 shall also be compatible with the shelving units in LSF4. The shelving compatibility will increase the flexibility to store and transfer items between the LSF modules.

Code Compliance*Various code complexities will need to be considered when designing CPRC. A new connection may trigger codes issues in the existing LSF4 building and accessibility upgrades may be required. Modifications to occupancy and type of use in the existing building may require modifications to exit paths, exit widths and occupancy limits. Based on scope and configuration resulting from the approved design concept, modifications to accessibility and life safety components will be worked out and finalized during the course of design.

*Compliance will be considered if expansion or connection occurs.

Codes and RegulationsThe Office of Facilities Planning and Construction (OFPC) is the building official for UT System construction projects. It is UT OFPC’s policy that the design team for the CPRC will design to and comply with the current editions of the codes and standards in place at the time the contract for the project was signed. The information below is a compilation of those requirements.

OFPC is the code authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) on The University of Texas at Austin campus for all issues pertaining to NFPA 101 Life Safety Codes. OFPC uses the code AHJ for UT System construction projects for all codes other than the NFPA 101 Life Safety Codes. OFPC is responsible for facilitating the resolution of conflicts and interpretations for these non-NFPA 101 codes after a thorough and joint discussion with the Institution.

The design team must prepare a written code and standards analysis for the project, that provides a side-by-side comparison of the requirements of the listed codes and standards, with an indication of which requirement is being applied to the project. If a review by a local authority is deemed necessary, the review should be scheduled so that an OFPC or an institutional representative can attend with the Project Architect/Engineer.

In the event of the need for interpretation among the various codes and standards, the design team will inform the OFPC Project Manager of the need for an interpretation, and OFPC will establish the requirements for compliance.

OFPC also requires the design team to comply with certain provisions of the City of Austin Fire Department, which provides fire fighting services for the University. Compliance elements include the locations and dimensions for fire fighting access, including fire lanes; locations and specifications for stand pipes, fire hose cabinets, fire control room, and fire hose connections; elevator requirements; and other similar protection elements.

Required Approvals

Erosion and Sedimentation ControlFor new construction, UT Austin EH&S will receive an approved courtesy copy of the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) via OFPC prior to the start of construction. OFPC will review the SWPPP with UT Austin EH&S for concurrence as necessary.

State of TexasThe UT Austin Fire Safety Officer will review the project for conformance to current life safety and fire codes in communication and coordination with the State Fire Marshal.

Texas Accessibility Standards compliance will be reviewed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) or an approved subcontractor.


Sustainable DesignThe CPRC project is not pursuing LEED certification. However, there are opportunities for sustainable design in the coordination of the building envelope and building systems that will be investigated during the schematic design phase.

UT Austin Campus StandardsUT Austin has developed its own set of Design and Construction Standards, to be followed for work on the Austin campus. It is generally true that the UT Austin Design and Construction Standards will take precedence, since Facilities Services will be operating and maintaining the building over the course of its lifetime. In some cases, the UT Austin Design and Construction Standards may conflict with information provided in the UT OFPC A/E Design guidelines. When the A/E discovers conflicts between the two sets of guidelines, the A/E must bring this conflict to the attention of the UT OFPC Project Manager. The UT OFPC Project Manager will work with the team to resolve the conflict and/or provide direction to the design team.

Key UT Austin campus regulations are listed below.

• The applicable storm water standard is UT Austin Construction Standard 02060.

• UT Austin EHS grease interceptor sizing and approval protocol must be followed to obtain authorization for the acquisition and installation of required grease traps for the food service area.

• Acid/corrosive neutralization tanks are no longer allowed to be installed in campus buildings.

Refer to Chapter 12, Information Specific to this Institution for other applicable UT Austin Standards.

Lighting StandardsBecause CPRC is located on the Pickle Research Campus, the site lighting does not have to be in conformance with the UT Austin Campus Master Plan and site lighting standards.

Indoor Air Quality

The designers and constructors must work closely with the Owner in the selection of building and finish materials to minimize air quality issues due to off-gassing.

Chapter 11Implementation Approach


Project PhasingProject phasing is required to follow the terms and conditions as outlined in the Project Agreement. The design team will coordinate with the CMAR to determine appropriate phasing to meet the project schedule.

If this project is required to start construction prior to the completion of all 100 percent Construction Documents, the CMAR will work with the A/E Team to develop, deliver, and manage multiple construction document packages, biding/negotiations and resulting construction activities in order to expedite the project schedule in the most efficient and economical manner.

Design PlanThe design team will establish a Design Plan in accordance with the Project Planning Schedule listed in Section 10 of this report. It is the responsibility of the Architect to manage the design process and Owner’s expectations in the schedule provided by the Owner in accordance with the Owner’s Design Guidelines to achieve the best design possible for the project.

The design process will include meetings with the Owner and project stakeholders at regular intervals or when required by the Owner to monitor design progress and conformance, budget, and schedule. Project milestones and submission requirements are defined by the A/E Agreement, Project Program and Owner’s Design Guidelines which are mandatory requirements for the success of the project.

Special ConsultantsSpecial consultants will be identified as a part of the design team, including a preservation specialist, an audio/visual consultant, security consultant, and others. Any additional need for specialty consultants during the course of design will be handled in accordance with UT System OFPC guidelines.

Implementation ApproachThis overall project will be implemented per the laws, rules, regulations, guidelines and policies established by:

• The State of Texas

• The University of Texas System Board of Regents

• Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board

• The University of Texas System Office of Facilities Planning and Construction

• The University of Texas at Austin

The specific project requirements will be implemented via the A/E Agreement, Construction Manager at-Risk (CMAR) Agreement, Owner’s Design Guidelines, and Owner provided specifications as well as that of the approved Project Program.

The remainder of this section includes brief descriptions of the approach to scheduling and managing various phases of the design and construction project.

Comprehensive Project ScheduleIn addition to the project scheduled outlined in Section 10, critical scheduling issues described below will need to be coordinated with the terms and conditions outlined in the project agreement.

Owner Furnished EquipmentThe identification of Owner Furnished Equipment will be determined during the design phase of the Project. Delivery dates are to be coordinated with the Owner and CMAR.

Reference Room Data Sheets for additional information regarding other Owner Furnished Equipment.

Implementation Approach 11-3FACILITY PROGRAMMING DOCUMENT – FINAL DRAFT – SEPTEMBER 2017

Comprehensive Site InvestigationThe Owner will conduct a survey for the selected project site. If the design team concludes additional information is needed in the survey, the design team shall notify the Owner in writing immediately. The design team shall define all additional requirements both in writing and in plan to the Owner for distribution and use by the surveyor.

Geotechnical investigations will be procured / performed by the Owner. The design team will notify the Owner and provide a site plan indicating the dimensioned location, quantity, and depths of cores needed to design the project. It is required that the design team has direct contact and correspondence with the surveyor and geotechnical engineer to ensure accuracy of requirements and continuity of sharing information.

Design RequirementsSpecific design requirements will be established in the terms and conditions of the Project Agreement and as outlined in OFPC Design Guidelines and the RFQ.

Contracting PlanUse of Alternative Contracting ApproachDelivery method for this project will be Construction Manager at Risk. Specific deliverable requirements will be established in the terms and conditions of the Project Agreement and as outlined in OFPC Design Guidelines and the RFQ.

Pre-purchase of EquipmentDuring the design phase of the project, specific procurement responsibilities of the Owner will be coordinated with UT System, UT Austin, the CMAR and the design team. This will be implemented into the comprehensive project schedule.

Permitting and Regulatory ComplianceNo atypical approval or permit requirements are expected beyond those requirements listed previously in Chapter 8.

Safety ProcessFor construction site safety policies and procedures, refer to the CMAR agreement for a complete set of requirements related to the project. All applicable federal and state mandates are to be followed, including policies on hazardous material handling, and other specialized processes and hazards.

Cost and Schedule ControlsSpecific Project Controls requirements will be established in the terms and conditions of the Project Agreement and as outlined in OFPC Design Guidelines and the RFQ.

Cost Control PhilosophyProject cost will be maintained, monitored and updated by the Architect and the CMAR within the budgets defined by the Owner at the completion of each project milestone, or more frequently as required to reflect the project development. The project’s design must be within 10 percent cost certainty of the Owner defined budget at completion of Design Development to receive approval from The University of Texas System Board of Regents in order to receive full funding approval and commence Construction Documents. The allotted 10 percent variance in cost certainty for the Design Development Package does not allow or provide the design team or CMAR carte blanche approval to deviate from the Owner’s defined budget.

It is required that the design team approach the project with a design that is no more than 95 percent of the Construction Cost Limitation (CCL) with the remaining five percent of the CCL designated for design alternates in anticipation of volatile bidding environments or


Reporting RequirementsSpecific Reporting Requirements are established in the terms and conditions as outlined in the Project Agreement, OFPC Design Guidelines and the RFQ.

Institution StaffingTo be determined.

potential unforeseen conditions. Additional cost control philosophy requirements will be established in the terms and conditions of the Project Agreement and as outlined in OFPC Design Guidelines and the RFQ. A guaranteed maximum price (GMP) will be executed on 100 percent Design Development documents. Cost estimates prepared by both the AE and the CMAR are required at each phase of the project and shall be reconciled to maintain budget control.

Schedule Control PhilosophyThe Critical Path Method (CPM) project schedule will be maintained throughout the duration of the project by the CMAR in electronic format as produced by the software scheduling program Primavera 6. The CMAR will update the CPM schedule monthly and submit in hard copy and electronic form to the Owner for record, review and approval. The schedule will require a minimum 10 percent float for construction activities.

Additional schedule control philosophy requirements will be established in the terms and conditions of the Project Agreement and as outlined in OFPC Design Guidelines and the RFQ.

Chapter 13Project Delivery Method


Project Delivery Method 13-3FACILITY PROGRAMMING DOCUMENT – FINAL DRAFT – SEPTEMBER 2017

Project Delivery MethodThe Collections Preservation and Research Center will be delivered under a Construction Manager at-Risk (CMAR) contract. This project delivery method combines the traditional design team relationship with involvement by the construction team prior to the completion of contract documents. Both the A/E will be contracted with the Owner and the CM will be contracted with the Owner. The design services will be divided into: Part I – Pre-construction Services, and Part II – Construction Services. The Owner will derive benefits from “in-house” construction expertise throughout development of the project documents and materials selections as well as budget and schedule development and tracking. Subcontractors will be selected through competitively sealed proposals (CSP) for trade packages. The CMAR team will be encouraged to utilize the Competitive Sealed Proposal, Best Value process to allow for consideration of values other than price.
