(PTI) proposes to analyze options for and design a HVAC system selected by the owner including drawings and specifications for the City Hall, located in Aspen, Colorado. The work shall include the items detailed below. The approach involves analyzing options to provide HVAC with the emphasis on ak flow, ventilation, and ak conditioning. The Aspen City Hall is an Historic Building originally constructed in the 1890s. It is on the National Register of Historic Places. The building consists of four floors including a basement. The basement was developed in 1992 and has Council Chambers and meeting rooms. These are served by ak handling units with hot water cots and DX cooling coils. The basement systems are apparently adequate and are not part of the scope of work. The third floor or topmost floor is supplied with ventilation and air conditioning by two evaporative coolers. This system is adequate for the current loads and office layout. The third floor is not a priority for HVAC renovation. It is scheduled for office remodel in approximately 1-2 years. The first and second floors are in dire need of ventilation and cooling. These two floors are the primary focus of this scope of work with the third floor to'be analyzed for future work. The historic designation of the building restricts changes to the exterior. The interior can be modified to accommodate HVAC systems. The roof is the area where exterior changes are best accommodated, The scope of work involves exanzining options for supplying I-IVAC. These option shall i~clude: roof mounted units, window AC units. Fan coil units in the triangular roof space between the 2nd and 3rd floors. Duct routs to the interior offices and spaces. Hot and chilled water piping to the systems, controls, chases, ventilation requirements, exhaust systems, electric and gas fired chiller systems, and spot cooling systems. The electrical capacity of the building and the gas supply piping capacity of the building will be examined. Special emphasis will be given to zone control to assist in maintaining occupant comfort.
