The building serves the boiler and only the boiler. All plumbing, electrical, and mechanical services present can be moved to allow the exit of the boiler. In general the walls must be cut and patched for boiler removal. The boiler is able to be deparated into two parts, the pressure vessel and the gasification section. Coordinate with Hurst regarding methods to separate the boiler. Refer to specificaiton section for detailed demolition and relocation requirements. The University asked that currting and patching work be performed to re-enclose the building for use by the University. The contractor shall restore lighting in the building to meet or exceed the existing lighting condition. All cutting and patching work shall be performed without permanent damage to the building structure or services A questions was asked during the walk-through regarding the trenches and the manhole across Madision Street. Generally, clarification was requested regarding the location of the new steam trench. The new steam trench routin is shown in the contract drawings. The trench exits the new plant on the west wall and turns south toward Madison. The trench changes elevation to go under Madison Street and then returns to an elevation to connect to the existing manhole on the east side of its structure. An existing tranch travels from the existing plants southeast corner and enters the manhole on the north side. Another trench exits the existing manhole and travel south to campus distribution.
