Introduction and Executive Summary SECTION 1

Minor reorganization of existing space is being proposed to address program needs, improve efficiency ofcurrent spaces, and improve overall aesthetics to create a collegiate environment. The alterations willcorrect noted code, life safety and ADA deficiencies as required, and replace outdated building systems withmodern energy-efficient systems and equipment.

Site improvements are being considered to accommodate current and projected student enrollment, staffand faculty. A proposed new main building entrance and parking area at the second story willaccommodate 115 student parking spaces and provide a clear sense of arrival. A generous, welcomingentry lobby will telegraph student and faculty activity upon entry. In total, the site has the capacity to

accommodate nearly 170 parking spaces, 55 of which will be located at the existing parking area on thelower level for faculty and staff. Police Academy Cadets could utilize the Kingston High School lower lotadjacent to the tennis courts, on the south side of Sophie Finn. The Kingston High School lower parkinglevel on the north side of the building could be utilized for additional spill over parking.

The proposed design schemes take advantage of the abundant naturally day-lit spaces and the overall openfeel of the existing building. The new main entrance at the second floor brings visitors and students to theheart of the building upon arrival. The new entry lobby is situated between the two existing building wingswith views looking out to the Catskills and south over the town of Kingston. The light filled space sits across

from the main open stair and new building elevator providing direct access to the first floor.

A detailed scope of work is further described in Sections 4 and 5.

B. RESOURCESThis report is based upon observations made during walk-through surveys and meetings conducted bythe project team lead by CSArch during January and February, 2013.

Space Inventory Summary SECTION 2

SUNY Ulster Business Resource Center currently resides in an Ulster County owned building on OneDevelopment Court, Kingston, NY. The one story office facility was once occupied by IBM until the mid1990s when IBM closed its operations in Kingston. The building sits on a main thoroughfare and housesboth Ulster County offices such as, County Office of Employment and Training, County Child SupportEnforcement and Social Services. SUNY Ulsters BRC, the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) andseveral community programs run under the BRC are also housed at One Development Court. Though thebuilding is of no architectural significance, its location has benefited enrollment as its located in theshopping district and along several bus lines.

The BRC occupies nearly 20,000 SF of floor space. Spaces consist of classrooms ranging fromapproximately 600 SF to 950 SF, offices of 140 SF to 200 SF, a Continuing Education and Registrar Suite,and a Reception/Lobby space that is part of the buildings general reception and manned by a SecurityGuard.

There is no true sense of Entry as a Security Guard acts as the greeter to all guests, and directional signage is

lacking. The overall feel of the space suggests neither a place of higher educational learning nor aprofessional inspiring environment. Daylight is scarce and artificial lighting is poor. The organization ofspaces seems to be based upon space availability throughout the building, and therefore, the BRC lacksidentity.

Space Requirements SECTION 3

The space program on the following page compares the BRCs current space utilization to the proposedlayout at Sophie Finn. The program lists existing and required spaces, and respective square footages at theBRC in the both the existing facility and the proposed location at 94 Marys Avenue. The first column,Space Description, lists the current spaces in the BRC and spaces that the BRC may or may not occupy inthe future. The second column is a list of existing spaces, square foot areas and the maximum number ofoccupants that utilize the space at the current location on One Development Court. The alternate designlayout is reflected in the third column. This column provides the quantity of spaces and their respectivesquare foot areas that will be provided in the relocation. Refer to Appendix C for alternate design layoutdrawings.

Architectural Design Concept SECTION 4

Sophie Finn Elementary School, owned by the Kingston City School district, is a two story steel framed andbearing wall building with brick veneer constructed in 1962. Designed by Perkins and Will Architects, thebuildings appearance is consistent with many elementary schools of its time. Sophie Finn is approximately29,000 gross square feet and currently houses students from pre-k through grade 5.

The basement floor occupies a small portion of the building and consists of the boiler room, an electricalroom, storage and a custodial room totaling approximately1500 SF. Direct access to the exterior is available

from all but one space, the electrical room. A spiral stair from a central core provides access to the basementfrom the interior.

The remainder of the building is simply configured with two main single loaded corridors on both the firstand second floors. A specials core which includes the Playroom, Library and Cafeteria, as well as theMain Office, sits at the crux of the two main wings and is linked by a central open stair. Daylight filtersthrough the first and second floors from a two story glass wall system at the central stair. All classrooms aresituated in building wings with abundant direct and indirect daylight. Classrooms are generally separatedfrom the corridors with masonry walls and a vision panel between top of the wall and the ceiling providinga means of indirect daylight and a sense of openness.

The understated Main Entrance is situated on the first floor off of Marys Avenue, across from St. BenedictineHospital. A small parking lot serves faculty and staff at this location and provides a bus loop and studentdrop off drive. The Main Offices are situated directly off of the Main Entrance. The first floor of Sophie Finnhouses mainly Pre-K and Kindergarten classrooms, the Cafeteria and the Main Offices, while the secondfloor provides classrooms for the remaining grade levels the Library and the Playroom The Playroom is

and/or rebuilt to provide an academic feel and allow for informal student/faculty meeting along the length ofthe corridor.

To provide a larger, more accessible entrance and lobby, a proposed one story addition will be located onthe second floor. A main parking lot will accompany the new entrance and provide parking for nearly 115students, while the lower existing lot will provide 55 parking spaces for faculty and staff. The newtransparent glass entrance addition will offer a more collegiate atmosphere. Upon entry, students will bepresented with an open lobby with lounge seating to encourage informal meeting and discussion amongststudents, faculty and staff.

Through aptly appointed renovations, we strive to provide the BRC with a healthy and stimulating learningenvironment, and to achieve greater interest and engagement from students, staff, faculty and visitors.Consequently, through improving the overall environment and endowing a collegiate setting, proposedplans will strengthen the BRCs ability to positively impact students and attract perspective students whommay be considering continuing education.

Building Systems Summary SECTION

MECHANICALI. Existing Conditions

A. The existing heating system is comprised of (2) cast iron, dual fuel (oil/natural gas) heating hot waterboilers which were replaced in 2011. (De Dietrich Model 430-8A). The pumps and piping in the

boiler room was replaced during the boiler upgrade however, the building distribution is original.

B. Heating terminals include unit ventilators and finned tube radiation. Cooling is provided in theadministrative areas by window air conditioning units. The Gymnasium and Cafeteria are served by

indoor air handling units with hot water heating coils and outdoor air intake while most classrooms

are ventilated by a unit ventilator with a wall mounted fresh air intake louver. Exhaust air wasvented through louvered doors to roof mounted gravity ventilators located in the adjacent corridors.

Unit ventilators were omitted from the original kindergarten classrooms.

C. Water service is original 3 municipal connection serving domestic water and fire sprinkler system.Backflow preventer and water pressure booster pump were installed in 2011 due to poor water

pressure.

D. Underground fuel oil storage tank and monitoring system replaced in 2011.

II. HeatingA. The existing boilers are new and will be reused in the project however, new heating hot water

distribution piping shall be provided.

12/52


ELECTRICALI. Power SystemsA. Normal Power Distribution System Description:

1. Utility: Currently the building is fed by a three transformer system located in a locked roomnear the boiler room exterior wall. Service to the building shall be upgraded hence thetransformer system shall be replaced. A new pad-mounted 500KVA transformer will becoordinated with the utility company during the design phase.

2. Power distribution summary: The current service entrance is thru the exterior wall in boilerroom (002). The conduits are routed into the electric room where the main service I-line,

utility meter, meter cabinet and a second MDP (MDP-2) are located. The main distributionpanel is 1200A rated, 120/208V, 3-phase, 4-wire. The panel has a 600-Amp main circuitbreaker. As a result of intended change in occupancy and the addition of HVACequipment in this building, the electrical load will increase. The existing 600-Amp servicewill not be sufficient to accommodate the new loads; therefore a service upgrade will berequired. The anticipated new service shall be 1200-Amps, 3-phase, 4-wire. A new500KVA pad mounted transformer shall be provided by the utility company. New feedersfrom the transformers secondary into the building electrical room shall be provided. Thedistance between the exterior wall where the service comes in and the location of the main

panel appears to be greater than 10 ft., further code investigation will determine if a serviceentrance disconnect is required in the boiler room, prior to the feeders reaching the I-linemain distribution panel. As part of the service upgrade, the branch panels shall also bereplaced with new panels. The existing panels currently appear to be nearing the end oftheir useful life and a replacement at the time of the power distribution upgrade isrecommended. The feeders for the panels may be salvaged for re-use. The affected panelsare: BR-1, I, II, III, IV, PP1 and PP2. The main distribution panels MDP and MDP-2 may be


13/52


II.

Power for HVAC and Plumbing System:A. Coordination with mechanical and plumbing engineers will determine equipment to bedisconnected for removal by electrical contractor.

B. Preliminary coordination with mechanical scope indicates that significant mechanical equipmentload (approx. 130KW) will be added to the building. Proper circuit breakers, feeders, disconnectand other necessary control devices shall be indicated in the drawings.

III. Emergency Power for Fire Safety System:A. No existing emergency power generator is present in the facility. Currently the building does not

include a fire protection system in which an electric fire pump would be required. An existingsprinkler system exist at the facility, however, it only covers a small area of the facility.

B. A fire protection system including an electric fire pump is a viable option for this facility. If thisapproach is approved, an emergency generator will be required. The generator will beapproximately 100-kW (400-Amps @ 208/120-Volt, 3-Phase) diesel or natural gas generator. Thissize generator will meet the fire pump requirement as well as provide some emergency power forthe facility. The generator would consist of a dedicated feed to the electric fire pump, one feederfor life safety power (emergency lighting) and one feeder for standby power.

IV. Lighting:A. System Description:

1. The existing building lighting was recently retrofitted with surface mounted T5 fluorescentfixtures and motion detection in classrooms and corridors. High bay 5-lamp T5 fluorescent

fixtures are present in the gym area. Switching in the facility is currently single switch with

alb bi-fixture switching in classrooms. The retrofitted fixtures in the corridor are 1x4

surface mounted fixtures with prismatic lenses The ceilings in most areas will be removed


14/52


4.

Existing emergency lighting is provided by wall mounted batter pack units which cover allmeans of egress. These battery packs appear to be older. Replacement with LED type

emergency lighting units will prove more reliable.

5. Existing exit signs appear to have proper coverage and do not appear to requirereplacements.

6. Exterior Lighting System Description: Existing exterior lighting is very minimal. There existtwo (2) wall pack units at the front of the school and one (1) on the back. It is proposed

that additional LED exterior wall mount fixtures are added to improve the school perimeter

lighting. In the new upper level parking lot, new exterior lighting will be required. Theparking lot lighting shall utilize LED pole lighting to minimize energy use and maintenance

costs while promoting pedestrian safety. In addition to base energy savings, another

potential advantage to using LED system is that the system can optionally dim during

periods of inactivity and increase upon motion detection to augment energy cost savings. If

costs do not allow for the use of LED, pulse start metal halide would be used. In order to

keep a secure area, building perimeter lighting shall be added to provide a lighting level of

1-2 foot candles (maintained). Basis of design is suggested as 20-foot poles for parking

spaced at 70-feet centers and 15-foot building mounted lighting, spaced at 60-feet centers,

Phillips Gardco GL18 (PSMH) and GL18-LED (LED). Building mounted lighting will be

provided on all sides for security purposes. Separate emergency lights will be provided at

all exterior egresses to meet Code.

V. Fire AlarmA S t D i ti

colleges network department will determine exact locations of all new data and telephonelocations.

2. Existing tel/data outlets will be removed as required in the renovated areas. New tel/databoxes will be provided as required to accommodate the renovation.

3. It is anticipated that box and conduit will be provided by electrical contractor while thecollege provides all necessary cables and connections. If the construction project requires

that all data/telephone boxes, cabling and raceway to be provided, then, cabling system

shall have a raceway system consisting of conduit in concealed inaccessible spaces and J-

hooks for open wiring in accessible spaces for routing of the communications cabling fromindividual outlets leading to the local distribution frame per all EIA/TIA Standards.

VII. Code SummaryA. Preliminary building survey did not reveal any electrical code deficiencies that would require

correction under this project. All new electrical work will be installed per all required codes and

standards.

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN APPROACHThe County of Ulster and SUNY Ulster have expressed their concern and responsibility to progress andbuilding project, and provide a renovated campus environment that consciously minimizes its impact on theenvironment. Although the County of Ulster has mandated that new construction projects meet LEED Silver,this project is exempt from the mandate as it is a major renovations project and not a new constructionproject. The project however, will indeed implement LEED 2009 for New Construction and MajorRenovations without necessarily seeking certification.

Our proposed design practices include many sustainable measures that may also qualify for LEED points as

defined by the 2009 New Construction and Major Renovations checklist. The following list of examples,include some of the measures being considered for the BRC:

Occupancy sensors to control heating and ventilation reducing energy demand and increasingoccupant comfort

Motion sensor lighting control reducing lighting demand and increasing occupant comfort Daylight activated lighting controls reducing lighting demand Low flow fixtures reducing water usage Energy efficient windows reducing heating and cooling demands as well as increasing occupant

comfort Pervious paving and native plant landscape elements reducing stormwater runoff, irrigation

demand, and improving sustainability of the site Bicycle storage, changing rooms, and shower facilities encouraging alternative transportation means

for building occupants

A preliminary LEED 2009 New Construction and Major Renovations check list is provided on the followingpage Though certification isnot beingsought LEED Certified designation is within reach

FF&E Evaluations SECTION 7

The design team visited the BRCs current location on One Development Court several times to evaluateexisting fixtures, furniture and equipment. All spaces including but not limited to, lecture rooms, computerrooms and offices were surveyed to assess the current condition of FF&E based upon age, wear, useful lifeand visible appearance.

Nearly 90% of the desks, tables and chairs utilized by the BRC are original IBM furniture from the late1950s. There are several different types of chairs throughout the space; original task arm chairs on casterswith and without arm rests, newer task chairs with and without casters, tablet chairs, and several types ofwood veneer desks and computer stations. Though there is some consistency in style and type, the fabriccolors vary within rooms, (see attached photos). The furniture is comprised mainly of metal rather thanplastic, and is in fair condition. However, the furniture is showing signs of wear and age; wood veneertables are chipped at edges and chair fabrics are stained.

Our recommendation is that the college replace as much of the existing furniture as possible, includinglecture rooms, classroom, computer rooms and office room furniture. There are several rooms, for example,Computer Rooms 501, 206 and 204 and Office 409 whose chairs could be relocated and reused in offices,

conference rooms or break out rooms. Should the college decide to reuse some furniture, we suggest thatthose pieces be located in rooms that are not of high visibility. Re-use of fixtures and equipment such as,computers, projectors and such will be of the discretion of SUNY Ulster. However, the Fire Arms Simulatorand Driving Simulator will be relocated to the new facility.

The cost to fully equip and furnish the BRC at 94 Marys Ave. with new furniture as recommended is asfollows:

Conceptual Project Budget SECTION 8

The schematic project estimate on the following page is based on two design layouts, a base layout and

alternate layout. Each layout considers the program requirements to allow the BRC to function at its currentcapacity and beyond. A dollar amount of $160.00/SF and 60.00$/SF were used to calculate costs of majorand minor renovations respectively. Minor Renovations include new flooring, ceilings and lighting systems,painted walls and ceiling soffits, and additional data and outlets as required. Spaces in this category remainmostly intact with upgrades and improvements to surfaces. Major Renovations, in addition to surfaceimprovements, include demolishing and rebuilding walls to reconfigure space. Floor Plans illustrating thesedistinct areas follow the schematic estimate.

The schematic estimate illustrates three costs shown in columns 1, 2 and 3. Columns 1 and 3 relate to thebase layout and alternate layout, respectively. Column 2 is a combination of the base layout and alternatelayout. This cost reflects the alternate layout with the maximum parking spaces, the larger entrance additionfrom the base layout, new windows, showers in the changing rooms and new furniture.

Logistical Planning and Scheduling SECTION 9

We understand that SUNY Ulster wants to occupy the building in January of 2014. In order to meet this

schedule, the County of Ulster and SUNY Ulster need to act quickly and proceed with design. Upon thedesign phase, a site logistics plan, a construction phasing plan for the renovations and building addition,and a scheduling plan will be developed. The site logistics plan will indicate construction areas, worksareas, lay-down areas for staging, site access for construction and the restoration of the site postconstruction.

The desired occupancy date will be affected by long lead items. Windows, doors, and particularmechanical equipment will be identified and selected early to ensure timely delivery. Some of these itemsmay require pre-ordering prior to bid or specifying alternative materials that are more readily available.

Throughout this process, a conscious effort will be made in the design, the selection of materials andconstruction methods so to not delay the construction schedule.

Summaries of Design-Build and Labor Agreements SECTION 10

A project labor agreement, or PLA, is a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement between a contractor and a

bona fide building and construction trade labor organization establishing the labor organization as thecollective bargaining representative for all persons who will perform work on a public work project,and which provides that only contractors and subcontractors who sign a pre-negotiated agreementwith the labor organization can perform project work.

This form of labor agreement is utilized in large scale public and private projects to control the quality oflabor, wages, strikes, etc. But the establishment of PLAs with multiple trades involved is cumbersome andexpensive. Formation and administration of a PLA requires a comprehensive study and eventually requireslabor attorneys from both sides to agree on the substance of the agreement. For that reason, projects of the

size of the Business Center relocation seldom have their own PLA in effect.

Design-Build is gaining popularity in the US because it is generally a less expensive and quicker form ofproject delivery. Under this process, a builder is teamed with a design team early in the process and theteam works for the owner toward common goals from the start. A guaranteed maximum price is generallyprovided to the owner prior to construction. This price is generally 10 to 15 percent lower than traditionaldesign-bid-build with WICKs law.

While this method of building will surely be available in the future, with a few exceptions, NYS law doesnot allow the option for design-build when public funds are involved. The State University ConstructionFund can and does use design-build, however; the County of Ulster is not permitted to use design-build.

Therefore, this project cannot utilize designbuild without State legislative approval.

Meeting Minutes January 23, 2013SUNY Ulster Business Resource CenterSophie Finn Relocation ProjectPage 2

ITEM DISCUSSION ACTIONBusiness Resource Center (BRC) currently occupies and therefore, SUNY Ulsterbegan looking for space to relocate. Approximately 10 months ago, the Collegeconsidered locating the BRC in the vicinity of TECH City but found it was toocostly.

SUNY Ulster became aware of Kingston CSDs plan to close Sophie FinnElementary School. Several pros and cons for this location were discussed.

Cons:o Setting is somewhat isolated as compared to the current location.o Lack of parkingo Fear of cost of upgrades to convert from elementary to collegiate

facility.

Pros:o Located between KCSD High School and Benedictine Hospitalo Possibility to be perceived as an extension of High School to

increase enrollment.o Collaboration with SUNY IT / nursing program.o Adjacent bus line.

3 Project Budget$4.4M is available to fund this project. A 2010 Facilities Report of Sophie Finnestimates $6M in upgrades. Chris White mentioned that the County is looking atother funding sources, including, NYSERDA, and that the final report will dictate

ITEM DISCUSSION ACTION CSArch will initiate an FTP site to be utilized by the project team.

8 The following design issues were discussed:

Sophie Finn is wired for networking and wireless. There are networkdrops in every classroom. The server is located at the high school.

LEED Silver is a goal depending on costs, however, certification may notbe sought.

Project team is interested in pursuing green technologies the client teamvisited a LEED Platinum building in Staatsburgh. This building was alsoan elementary school conversion project. CSArch plans to tour thefacility.

Renovations should modernize the facility, create a more collegiate feel,and provide a new visible/open entry.

9 The Final Report shall include:

Energy standard/s basis of design, i.e., CHIPS, LEED, and /or GBC An evaluation of different labor agreements. A description and analysis of systems including life cycle cost and initial

cost:o Air conditioningo Elevatoro Storm watero Window systemo Sprinkler system

44/52


ITEM ACTION5 Police Academy Considerations:

Ideally, PA spaces should be located on an exterior wall so that a privateentry is possible.

Direct access to the exterior is also desirable for outdoor training. Access to water from the exterior is required to support outdoor training. Isolation is important because of noise Classes are held both day and night. Of the calendar year, there are only 3 weeks free of courses. Enrollment is made up of 5 counties.

6 Police Academy Space Requirements:

(1) large classroom to accommodate 40 officers in training. (1) large lecture classroom for 50 this space could also accommodate

smaller lectures 35-40 students.

(1) Fire Arm Simulation Room for 30 (observation area in simulator roomwith 30 seats) could also accommodate driving simulator whichrequires space for 12. This space must be alarmed.

Separate male and female locker rooms with showers.

o 50 lockers total approximately 70% male, 30% femaleo Eight showers

(1) Office space for (2) current office is 288 SF. (1) Additional office space if possible. Lounge space could be shared with BRC or separate. Storage for uniforms and equipment.

ITEM ACTION3:00 PM MEETING

1 Chris Marx gave a brief introduction see Item 1 from 1:30 PM Meeting.

2 The concern about parking was discussed. There are a large amount of carsgetting in and out of the facility in a short time period. Current access must beevaluated and revised to accommodate traffic.

3 Proximity of Sophie Finn to Kingston High School is important. High Schoolstudents take placement tests at BRC. Proximity allows for testing to occur asearly as 3:30pm at Sophie Finn.

4 SMART classroom technology, and sound isolation and privacy are importantthroughout the facility.

Podium Rooms Fully equipped space with computer and screen Projector Rooms No computer but connection for laptop sound is

problematic in these rooms.

5 Space Requirements and Needs:

(3) Tutoring spaces for 1 on 1 tutoring and smaller groups with acomputer or wireless capability.

46/52


Typical Requirements include:o

Pull Stations, CO2 Detectors in each occupied space, andcompliance with ADA.

Exterior/Site Lighting upgrades will be required. County will issue the building permit yet the New York State building

code is applicable.

7 Miscellaneous Items:

Student-child drop off was discussed with the intent of providing a placewhere enrolled students could leave their children while a course is insession. W.Freer stated that he would look into the implications of this

type of service. Lighting Upgrades are required. Main Entrance should be staffed by a guard. Existing furniture at BRC will be evaluated for re-use.

8 B. Manning discussed the likeliness of all the original Vinyl Tile to be asbestos tileand as a result would require abatement if removed. A cost savings measurecould be to leave the tile in place in selective low traffic areas and to installcarpet directly over. SUNY Ulster however, would prefer abating as much aspossible.

Next Meeting: TBDThe foregoing constitutes our understanding of the items discussed and decisions reached. If there are anycorrections, please contact the undersigned.
