INSTITUTION BACKGROUND The Chesapeake Biological Laboratory (CBL) is an environmental research facility in theUniversity of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES), the principle institutionfor advanced environmental research and graduate studies within the University System ofMaryland. The other UMCES laboratories are Horn Point Laboratory in Cambridge the

Appalachian Laboratory in Frostburg, Sea Grant in College Park and IMET in Baltimore.

CBL was founded in 1925 on Solomons Island by Dr. Reginald V. Truitt, one of our state’sforefathers of conservation. This southern Maryland location was chosen because of itsaccess to Bay waters and its mid-Bay location. It was originally sponsored by the MarylandConservation Department as a State research facility. During the early years, CBLconducted many of the seminal field studies on the major commercial species of theChesapeake Bay region: oysters, crabs, clams, and fish.

Early biological research at CBL was concerned with the life cycles and physiology ofcommercial species. The first three laboratory buildings at CBL were constructed in 1931

(Beaven Hall), 1961 (Cory Hall), and 1974 (R.V. Truitt Laboratory). All three containedlarge, flowing salt water systems used to hold living organisms and recreate the naturalenvironment. The existence of the flow-through systems in these buildings was indicativeof the emphasis on natural history studies and programs aimed at understanding the livingresources and the food webs of estuarine systems such as the Chesapeake Bay.

The laboratory became affiliated with the University of Maryland as part of the NaturalResources Institute in 1961. In 1973, the Institute and Laboratory were made a part of theUniversity’s new Center for Environmental and Estuarine Studies which was subsequentlyrenamed the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES). UMCESis a research institution of the University System of Maryland and consists of fourlaboratories located in different areas of the state and administers the Maryland Sea GrantProgram. CBL is the oldest of these laboratories. Specific program objectives at CBL fallunder three major areas including ecosystem restoration studies, fisheries sciences, andenvironmental chemistry/toxicology. These specific themes are woven around the three-fold UMCES mission of research, education, and public service. The three major programareas share common ground with the interdisciplinary team approaches required tosuccessfully address complex environmental issues, including leading the State’s role inestablishing comprehensive environmental sustainability and climate change programs tobenefit its citizens.

The facilities at CBL currently include twenty-one buildings totaling 124,110 GSF and77,232 NASF overnine acres. Eighteen permanent buildings provide 118,656 GSF and73,710 NASF, with three building support structures providing an additional 5,444 GSF and3,522 NASF.

A. PROJECT SUMMARYThis facilities program outlines the construction of a new Environmental SustainabilityResearch Laboratory (“ESRL”) to replace the existing R.V. Truitt Laboratory (13,911 GSF)on CBL’s campus. The R.V. Truitt Laboratory (“Truitt”), initially constructed in 1974, hasreached the end of its useful life. Systemic system problems have beset the facility and

required its closure in order to protect the safety of personnel and research. An in-depthstudy, conducted in December 2007, assigned it a minimum building condition code of 4.Its mechanical systems have deteriorated beyond repair and the cost to repair the facilitynow exceeds 80% of its replacement value. Due to the significant structural andmechanical concerns, UMCES-CBL closed the building on March 15, 2008.

The scope of work proposed in this program includes the relocation of key sharedmechanical components to a support building, the Chiller Enclosure (“CE” #473), and itsrenovation, the demolition of the existing Truitt facility and the construction of a newseawater laboratory. This new research laboratory will enable CBL to conductenvironmental sustainability research essential to the state and nation.

The replacement facility, ESRL, will complement the existing facilities on campus byproviding necessary laboratories, offices and modular wet laboratories for research work.The State of Maryland is taking a leading role in supporting climate change andenvironmental sustainability research, and this research facility can fill a unique and criticalrole in the State’s efforts.

The focus of the ESRL will be to fill and expand the research needs created by the closureof Truitt. Within the new ESRL, CBL researchers will continue and expand their cuttingedge research into ecosystem restoration, environmental sustainability and eco-toxicology.Expanding research projects require resources and space no longer available at CBL.Truitt’s closure removed 8 seawater laboratories and has limited the ability to conductresearch in this field. Research in these fields will be diminished, if not stopped, until a newbuilding can be constructed.

Current CBL research is sponsored through Federal, State and private organizationsincluding the National Science Foundation, National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration, National Park Service, Environmental Protection Agency, US Department of Agriculture, Department of Defense, Maryland Department of Natural Resources, MarylandDepartment of the Environment and Chesapeake Bay Trust. Currently, research is beingconducted on 119 projects, representing $24M in environmental research and funding.

The new laboratory and support structure will be located on Williams Street, in the heart ofthe CBL campus. All buildings located on the CBL campus are located within theChesapeake Bay Critical Area.


6/61


B. SITE PLANThe selected site for the new building is the area currently occupied by Truitt. The area ofthe site is approximately 82'x62', and the boundaries of the site are: Williams Street on the northwest side Existing parking lot on the northeast side

FRCFisheries Research Center and Seawater pad on the southeast side Existing parking lot on the southwest side

The project also includes the renovation of the Chiller Enclosure, which is located on theeast side of Truitt. The area of the CE is approximately 54'x35'.

The selection of this site is consistent with the planning recommendations contained in the"UMCES Facilities Master Plan" and has been refined to integrate similar research relatedactivities, including the FRCFRCFisheries Research Center and the Seawater Pad.

The topography of the site is, for all intents and purposes, level. The site for the

replacement facility ranges from a high of 12.5' at the south corner to a low ofapproximately 12.1' at the northern edge. The elevation at the CE ranges from 11.2' on thesoutheast side to 12.2' on the northwest side. The site shall require a topographic andutility survey, to be ordered by the Design Consultant.

CBL will make available to the Design Consultant any existing utility plans, topographicmaps and building location plans. No assurances are given that these record drawings arecomplete or accurate. It shall be the responsibility of the Design Consultant to engage theservices of a registered surveyor, to establish the precise location of all undergroundutilities and/or services in the construction area, and to show same in detail on the designdrawings. If necessary, test holes and/or test borings may be made under the direction ofthe Design Consultant, only after the approval of the CBL.

As the site is located within the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area, there are restrictions andspecific requirements concerning existing and planned plantings.

See Appendix A for comprehensive maps of the CBL campus.

C. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PROPOSED BUILDINGThe ESRL will serve as a research facility with both modular and dedicated laboratories. Itwill be two stories plus a basement, and will contain biological laboratories on each of thethree floors; modular and dedicated running seawater laboratories will be housed on thefirst floor and “dry” laboratories will be housed on the second floor and in the basement.

Four modular and two dedicated running seawater laboratories will be on the first floor. Aflume will be located on the first level adjacent to the building. Four dedicated drylaboratories will be assigned to specific faculty members while the remaining five dedicateddry laboratories will be shared research space. The building will contain six offices, aneight seat conference room and a twenty-five seat teaching laboratory. Twentyresearchers and staff members will be permanently assigned to the building.

The re-designed CE will house the multiple shared mechanical systems which are currentlysupported through Truitt. This design should incorporate new technologies and equipmentand work to reduce the carbon footprint of the systems.

The buildings must be designed and constructed to qualify for as many LEED points aseconomically feasible. At a minimum, the project must meet the LEED certification for newconstruction. The elements and materials employed in new construction need to be tried,low maintenance systems with a service expectancy of at least 40 years. While the high-technology function of the area within the building may suggest the use of the newesttechnology under development, the exterior expression of this function needs to be found independable, tested materials and construction details compatible with the campus. Thenew facility shall incorporate the latest technologies in thermal efficiency including highefficiency lighting, thermal pane glass, variable speed air supply, and exhaust systems andan automated building energy management system.

D. ARCHITECTURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS, INCLUDINGHEIGHT LIMITATIONSThe proposed building must qualify for LEED certification and fit into the architecturalcharacter of Solomons, MD - a historic town on the Chesapeake Bay. The building shouldbe a masonry and glass structure. The style, scale, and massing must be coordinated withthe prevailing style of adjacent historic campus buildings. The Design Consultant mustensure that the style of this new building preserves the general design elements within thecampus.

The Solomons Master Plan (“SMP”) should be reviewed by the consultant as a part of thedesign process. The revised 2009 SMP sets forth guidelines for new construction; theseguidelines emphasize the need for all buildings to fit into the character of the SolomonsTown Center:


8/61


"In order to retain the small town character of Solomons Island, height limits of 35feet, including the roof, should be observed from Lore Street south." (pg 24) Thisarea includes the CBL campus.

CBL’s property is located in sub-area B2 which provides institutional use by us, andthe SMP aims to maintain the “campus-like character” of the property. The Design

Consultant should strive to follow the plan’s policies that CBL “preserve thearchitectural character of the area and to ensure compatibility with adjacentresidential areas” (pp 31-32).

The SMP subsequently identifies "appearance guidelines" including buildingmaterials, facade and roof colors, detailing, etc. This document should be read andthe recommendations put forward in it adhered to as much as possible.

Maximum use of evergreen planting should be used to buffer the new facility andsurrounding private residences.

Building style and appearance should reflect both the high-tech/scientific nature ofthe functions housed within the neo-Georgian buildings located elsewhere on thecampus.

Buffering adjacent to private properties is critical. In addition to the effective use oflandscaping, a 30' setback should be observed if possible. A 30' setback from mean high water is allowed with the following conditions: No

parking is allowed within the 30' setback; all materials, such as decks or walkways,must have a pervious surface; no decks may be higher than 5' above ground level;and only water dependent facilities are allowed within this area.

The location of the site is within the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area, so the foundation of thebuilding should not exceed its current footprint (approximately 62’x82’). The design of thebuilding should minimize disruption to the landscape and adjacent buildings.

In 2007, the FRCFRCFisheries Research Center was opened. Although it was designed tobe an FRC to the original Truitt, it is a stand-alone building and the two buildings areconnected via a semi-enclosed staircase between the buildings on the first and secondfloor. This connection point needs to be enclosed coincident with the construction of theESRL to ensure proper weatherproofing, protect the research, and facilitate the transfer ofequipment between the two buildings. Both Truitt and the FRCutilize the seawater system,share research space and share multiple mechanical systems. These mechanicalsystems, which are located in the original Truitt facility, must be relocated prior to theconstruction of the new building to ensure the continued operation of the FRC and othercampus laboratories.

E. NET ASSIGNABLE SPACEThe proposed size of the ESRL is 14,828 GSF and 11,080 NASF. The CE will also berenovated as a part of this program. Its current GSF is 1,544 and an additional 1,500 GSFwill be added as part of this program (none of this space will be assignable).

The breakdown of the NASF for the ESRL is as follows:

F. DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS WITHIN SPACEThe majority of space within the ESRL will be used for scientific research. Space will alsobe used for teaching and office space. The majority of mechanical space will be relocatedinto the CE.

Research: All space coded with a HEGIS code of 250/255 will be used for research. Thisspace, either dedicated or shared, needs to be set up to accommodate multiple personneland varied types of equipment. There will be four dedicated dry research laboratories. Each will have 4-6 people

assigned to them and the rooms will need ample space for equipment and researchsamples. Each dry laboratory should have a sub-room where the staffers canconduct specialized experiments.

There will be five shared laboratories in the ESRL. Three will be equipmentlaboratories, where staffers from multiple labs can access common equipment.There will be one microscope laboratory, which will centralize all of the scope workfor the building, and one culture preparation laboratory.

Four modular and two dedicated wet laboratories will be in the ESRL. Theselaboratories will need space for two to four staffers per laboratory and will providerunning fresh water and seawater.

An exterior flume will be set up alongside of the ESRL. It needs to be sized toprovide sufficient space for four to six researchers to conduct research.

Teaching: One teaching laboratory (HEGIS code 210) will be set up for the building. This laboratory will be the only teaching laboratory on CBL’s campus and need

sufficient space to accommodate 25 students. The laboratory will hold over 50educational and outreach programs on an annual basis and will reach approximately500 students each year. These programs will be designed for all levels of education;specifically K-16, graduate, as well as teacher and community outreach programs.

Office Space: There will be six offices within the ESRL. Five faculty offices will be set up in the building. Three of the offices will be on the

second floor and two will be located in the basement. One two-person staff office will be located on the first floor. One conference room will be set up on the second floor of the ESRL. It must be

sufficiently sized to hold 10-12 people for meetings. An integrated video network(“IVN”) will also be set up to provide remote teaching opportunities.

G. PROXIMITY OF SPACEThe ESRL will have three entrances: a main entrance which will be on the first floor onWilliams Street, a back entrance that connects via the FRC and a basement serviceentrance. Visitors will enter from Williams Street; this entry should have dual entry doorsand open into a small reception area. A wall needs to separate the reception area from the


11/61


rest of the first floor, as that floor will house the modular and dedicated wet laboratories.Personnel can access the remainder of the first floor by moving to the left or right from thereception area. There should be two main hallways leading from the reception area. Oneshould quickly deliver visitors to the stairwell, the elevator and the connection point to theFRC. Both hallways should provide quick access to the wet laboratories on that floor.

The stairs and the elevator should be located adjacent to one another, preferably near theWilliams Street entrance. Both will provide access to the basement and the second floor.The elevator must be properly sized to provide for the transfer of large equipment andpersonnel. This elevator will be the sole one for ESRL and the FRC. The current ADA-compliant elevator was installed in Truitt in 2001; it should be reviewed to determine if itcan be re-cycled and used in the new building.

Specific requirements for the layout of the space are as follows:

First Floor: The first floor will primarily house the modular and dedicated wet laboratories.

A culture lab, reception area and office space will also be located on the floor.

A central reception area needs to be located at the main entrance on WilliamsStreet. It should be separated from the first floor laboratories by a wall.

Two dedicated controlled wet laboratories should be located on the first floor. Theyshould be located adjacent to each other. All walls for these rooms should either nothave windows or provide controls to block outside light.

Four modular wet laboratories should be located on the floor. The labs can belocated either along an exterior wall or in the center of the building. The walls needto be able to be adjustable to accommodate changing research needs.

A Culture Lab should be located on this floor. It should not have windows or shouldprovide controls to block outside light.

One office should be located on this floor; it needs to be located on an exterior wallwith operable windows.

Access to the FRC needs to be available from this floor. This access should belocated on the east side of the building.

Basement: The basement will house multiple dry laboratories, a teaching laboratory,controlled temperature rooms, office space and a mechanical room. As these rooms will belocated partially below grade, the consultant should aim to provide as much natural light aspossible on this level.

There will be one dedicated dry laboratory which should have two rooms; one largeroom for research, and one smaller room for the storage of equipment and runspecialized experiments.


12/61


The teaching laboratory should provide flexibility for its users. It will need to havebenchtops to allow for hands-on experiments by the students and currenttechnology, such as overhead projectors and interactive whiteboards.

The basement will also contain several shared labs: two shared equipment labs,one microscope lab, and two temperature controlled rooms.

Two offices will also be located on this level; one will serve as a faculty office andthe other one will be used by visiting researchers. One unisex restroom should be located on this floor, close to the stairs and the

elevator. The mechanical room will house the electrical panel for the building. All other

utilities will be housed in the Chiller Enclosure (#473).

Second Floor: The second floor will house the majority of the dedicated dry laboratorieswithin the building.

Three dedicated laboratories will be on this level and need to be located on an

exterior wall which provides ample natural light. Each lab needs to have two rooms,one main room for research and a smaller room to store equipment and runspecialized experiments.

Three faculty offices should be located adjacent to these labs. These offices shouldalso be located on exterior walls and have operable windows.

A small 10-12 person conference room should be located on this floor. It should belocated close to the faculty office space.

A shared equipment lab and temperature control room should also be located on thisfloor.

Two unisex restrooms should be located on the second floor, and should be locatedclose to the stairs and the elevator.

Access to the FRCneeds to be available from this floor. This access should belocated on the east side of the building.

Exterior: A re-circulating flume will also be installed on the site as part of the project. Thepad needs to be installed adjacent to the new facility and the FRC. A location near theexisting seawater pad (currently at the FRC) or the CE would be preferred. The concretepad will need to be reinforced due to the weight of the flume and sufficient area isnecessary for the head and tail tanks and pumps required for running the equipment. Aroof will be required for the project to protect the research and equipment.

Functional and special layouts (Bubble diagrams) of each floor of the ESRL are attached in Appendix B.

H. NOT APPLICABLE

I. CLIENT SERVICE AREASThe section is not applicable to this project.

J. SERVICE AREA LOCATIONSThe primary service area for this building is located in the FRC. This loading area willreceive deliveries and research samples and is located on Farran Avenue. Largeequipment deliveries will occur through this service area.

Two secondary service area needs to be located off the Williams Street parking lots on thenorth and south sides of the new facility. The north service area will be near the CE (#473)and will utilize the access ramp that runs along the FRC and ties into the staircase thatconnects the two buildings. The south service area will provide access to the connectorbetween the buildings and to the seawater pad (SW). The Design Consultant shouldensure that the service areas are free of noise and visual clutter and that the areas do not

negatively impact the research being undertaken in the facility.

The following criteria should govern the design of the Service Area:

Consolidation: Service Areas should be consolidated wherever possible so theaccess points can be minimized. Parking for service vehicles should be located inthe designated service area and integrated within the service zone. Access points toservice areas within the building are to be located on the exterior of the buildingwhere possible to insure ease of access. The FRC currently provides ample parkingand ease of entry for the primary Service Area.

Location and Screening: Service areas are to be screened from surrounding activitycenters and pathways. Service areas should be located to avoid conflicts withpedestrian and vehicular circulation.

Design Process: Service requirements should be designed as a unified system fromthe early stages of design and are described within the space requirements sectionof the facility program. Service access and egress may prescribe building locationor orientation, especially in cases where adjacent compatible support functions exist.

Separation of Public and Private Areas: The site development should be designedso that public and private space is clearly defined. Parking areas located directlyadjacent to service areas without visual separation can be a source of securityproblems and vehicular circulation conflict.

See Appendix B for Bubble Diagrams of each service area.


14/61


K. CLIENT TRAFFICIn the overall design, careful attention should be given to the circulation patterns of staff,students and visitors. Most external traffic will enter the building through the WilliamsStreet entrance, where it will proceed to either the stairways or elevator for access to thebasement and second floor. These areas need to be located close to the main entrance to

facilitate this movement of traffic. Internal traffic (researchers) will enter either via theWilliams Street entrance or through the connection between the ESRL and the existingFRC. This access can be via the first or second floor. A basement/service entrance willprovide fire egress and be accessible to CBL personnel.

The main entrance to the building must immediately convey a sense of the building and itsactivities to those who enter, from first time visitors to persons well acquainted with thebuilding. The space must be warm and inviting, and should impact a sense of direction tovarious spaces.The relative size of the horizontal circulation elements (lobbies and corridors) shall beappropriate to those areas directly served and to the movement of persons from one area

to another. Those elements shall be designed with due consideration to the ratio of netassignable square feet to gross square feet. Circulation spaces should serve double dutyas a means to promote spontaneous social interaction, and encourage the exchange ofideas and information. This pattern also insures greater surveillance of public spaces bythe staff, thereby discouraging theft and vandalism. The Design Consultant should avoidlong, narrow corridors which serve no function but to travel from point to point.

L. SPECIAL CONVENIENCE AREAS A small reception area needs to be located at the Williams Street entrance to the building. A wall should be located between the entry doors and the modular wet labs to provide aninviting and non-cluttered entrance for visitors and guests. The reception area should besized to allow for the following:

Furniture appropriate for a common area. A display case, sized at 6'x3'x2', should be built into a wall. This case will provide

space to show research specimens and study results.

A conference room should be located on the second floor of the building, and should besized for a 10-12 person conference table. It will be utilized for small classroom instructionand lab meetings. It should be located adjacent to the office space and not interfere withresearch space.

N. OPEN OFFICE LAYOUT All office space will be enclosed, and offices on the first and second floors shouldbe located on an exterior wall with a window.

O. SPECIAL STORAGE AREAS

Locking cabinetry will be required in each of the environmental labs for thestorage of chemicals. Each of the dedicated laboratories should have a smallerroom within it for the storage of equipment and hazardous materials. Theserooms will also be used for research and therefore need to have cabinetry andtabletops. Each fume hood should be mounted on a locking chemical storagecabinet for the storage of hazardous materials.

P. ADA NEEDSThe criteria regarding building design for the disabled is outlined in the BuildingDesign Criteria Section. All design development must conform to the ADAAG,and its pursuant guidelines. The following need to be incorporated into the site

design:

Parking: Specifically designated and dimensioned parking spacesdesigned in accordance with good design standards are to be located inclose proximity of the major access point of the building. These should belevel and clearly marked as reserved for the disabled. Parking as per

ADAAG guidelines shall be met. Sufficient parking currently exists in thetwo lots adjacent to the building; these lots do not need to be enlarged.

Walkways: Walkways connecting accessible building entrances to parkingfor the disabled, off-site circulation and other facilities within the buildingcomplex must meet identified design criteria for the disabled. Stairs, curbsand excessive grades should be avoided or alternate means of movementprovided. Curb cuts in accordance with current design criteria must beprovided where walkways intersect roads or provide access to parkingfacilities.

Entries: Major points of entry to the building must be accessible for peoplewith disabilities. All entry doors, and associated vestibule doors, are to beprovided with automatic door openers. In addition, all other entry pointsshould be accessible if physically and economically feasible. In all cases,entry points closest to designated parking areas for people with disabilitiesmust be designed to permit accessibility by people with disabilities.Ramps or other special features are to be integrated into the total designso as not to appear as a special conciliatory feature.

Graphics: A graphic system must be included in the site design to indicateparking spaces and to direct people with disabilities to accessible buildingentrances. Signage must comply with criteria in the ADAAG.

A handicapped accessible ramp was built as part of the FRC. This rampis accessible via the connector between the two buildings.


44/61



Q. STAIRWELLS/ELEVATORSThe ESRL should have one interior stairwell that is easily accessible to the frontentrance of the building. This stairwell will provide access to all floors within thebuilding. The stairway connector between the original building (Truitt) and theFRC can be utilized as the second stairway. This stairway needs to be enclosed

as a part of the construction project.

An elevator must be installed in the new building. It needs to be ADA compliantand appropriately sized to allow for the movement of laboratory equipment andsupplies and personnel. The elevator should be located close to the WilliamsStreet entrance of the ESRL and the interior stairwell.

The Design Consultant should try to reuse the elevator that is currently in Truitt.It is ADA compliant and was installed in 2001.

R. DESIGN FLEXIBILITY

There are several issues that need to be incorporated into the design andconstruction of the ESRL and the relocation of the utilities to the CE:

Utilities: This project includes the relocation/replacement of multiplemechanical systems from the original Truitt Building. These mechanicalsystems are shared by multiple buildings (Truitt #453, FRC #486 and CoryHall #451). McDonough, Bolyard and Peck was hired in September 2008to conduct a review and cost estimate concerning the relocation of thesystems. It is attached as Appendix C.

Laboratory Design: All laboratories with running seawater need to belocated on the first floor due to cost constraints and the need to centralizethe seawater. They cannot be installed in the basement without additionalcosts for pumps, and should not be located on the second floor due tohumidity concerns. The running seawater laboratories will requireadditional drainage and return systems that are not found in drylaboratories. Four of the wet laboratories need to be modular. Thisdesign flexibility will allow the size of them to be adjusted due to researchneeds.

S. BUILDING CONTROLSThe Chesapeake Biological Laboratory operates a campus-wide central controland monitoring system. A new Central Control and Monitoring System (CCMS)system, the Honeywell SymmetrE, was installed in 2008. It is the DesignConsultant's responsibility to make provisions for the installation of a buildingCCMS that interfaces with the centralized equipment located in the MansuetiLaboratory (#459). The CCMS must be an FRC of the campus system and notan independent system. The campus system is used to override local buildingcontrol systems, but does not replace them. Therefore, a complete local (stand


45/61



alone) system must be provided and integrated with the campus-wide CCMS.Separate local systems need to be set up in ESRL, CE and the FRC.

The scope of the CCMS design shall incorporate the operating characteristics forthe proposed facility with regard to the capabilities of the existing campus CCMS,

resulting in an optimally designed CCMS in terms of effectiveness and cost. Theguiding principles for this design are to provide remote start/stop and reset for allHVAC systems and other major equipment; to monitor energy using systems foractual loads and conditions and all systems for alarm status and criticalmalfunctions. The desired CCMS shall provide surveillance and optimaloperation of the HVAC and other systems and provide metering information as toactual utility usage.

The Design Consultant is required to communicate with CBL in order to obtainthe present capabilities of the campus CCMS and to provide a plan for theenergy efficient operation of the HVAC systems. This plan shall be coordinated

with the life cycle costing and HVAC load analysis in the energy analysis sectionto produce the most energy efficient facility design. It shall also delineate thescope of control between the local controls, CCMS override control, and fail safearrangements by HVAC systems.

It is the Design Consultant’s responsibility to make provisions for the completesystem installation in the ESRL, the Chiller Enclosure and the FRC, including:

All electrical and mechanical interfaces to the building systems andequipment.

All electrical and mechanical system components required by the CCMS. All sensors, contacts, equipment and system interfaces and metering

points. Interface the new buildings’ CCMS to the existing CCMS central

equipment. This interface includes all necessary alterations to thecentral processing unit and the software routines located in theMansueti Laboratory (#459).

FRC of underground duct bank and communications cables from theexisting CCMS to the new CCMS panels in the three buildings.

T. CENTRAL HEATING/COOLING FACILITYYear-round thermal and humidity (as required) control of the environment shallbe provided. This shall include all ventilation and exhaust requirements, asrequired by reference codes. Energy conservation measures shall be utilizedwherever possible. Requirements of the central system are as follows:

Accurate space and block loads shall be calculated based on known dataor clearly stated assumptions. These assumptions shall be made


46/61



available, with other system analysis reports (i.e., life cycle studies) forreview.

The HVAC shall be adequately zoned with controls to accommodatespace use. The systems should be flexible to allow for changes in spaceconfiguration as required. Anticipated future load(s) shall be considered in

system design, as applicable. System redundancy, smoke removalcapability, and other particular requirements shall be determined on acase by case basis.

Access to, and maintenance of, all HVAC equipment is of greatimportance. HVAC systems and their spaces and enclosures shall bedesigned for easy and repeated access, particularly for normal routineservice procedures.

HVAC sound levels shall be within acceptable limits, as determined byindustry standards.

U. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The Design Consultant is directed to consult with University of Maryland CollegePark Architecture, Engineering and Construction Department(AEC) whendesigning the electrical system for this facility. Specific information concerningthe available electrical services on campus including existing distribution systemdrawings and details on voltage, phasing, capacity and specifications on desireddesign criteria, can be obtained through CBL or AEC as available.

The Design Consultant is required to meet all codes regarding safety and accessto all electrical equipment.

Specific requirements for electrical services in selected spaces will be presentedin the "Space Requirements" section of the Facility Program. Generally, theDesign Consultant is to abide by the following:

All major mechanical equipment shall be served at 480 Volt, 3 Phase. At least one 20 Amp, 125 Volt duplex receptacle grounding shall be

provided on each wall in office spaces. All outlets shall be considered 360 VA each and each outlet circuit shall be

considered to be loaded for 2,160 VA. Duct bank is to be utilized for all feeder wiring runs outside the building. The grounding wire (green wire) shall run in each raceway and shall be full

sized. Raceways shall not be used for continuous ground.


47/61



Multi-wire systems may be used for lighting. However, for receptacles,(and especially in areas using computer equipment) either a separateneutral shall be used for each branch circuit or the neutral shall be sized atleast 125% of the phased wires (due to third harmonics).

The electrical closets, feeders and panels shall be sized to handle an

additional 25% in future growth.

Emergency Power: A three-phase, 60 Hertz emergency power generator, withnoise suppression enclosure, shall be provided for emergency telephone service,fire alarm system, security systems, egress and emergency (life safety) lighting inall corridors, vestibules and stairwells, the CCMS, any critical electronicequipment, as well as for mechanical equipment which could cause catastrophiclosses if power was interrupted (i.e. sump pumps, pipe heaters, etc.) and for allother spaces as designated in the Facility Program. Emergency lighting shallalso be provided in major mechanical and electrical spaces to permit emergencyequipment inspection and in occupied spaces as required (especially windowless

spaces such as restrooms) to permit safe evacuation of the building. Voltageoutput and control of emergency generator shall be determined by the DesignConsultant. Fuel to power the generator shall be selected on the basis of costand availability with a preference for natural gas followed by fuel oil and propanegas. The generator needs to be connected to the Automatic Transfer System(ATS) to CCMS, to monitor generator's status (on/off).

Lighting: A total evaluation based on user requirements, energy conservation andfixture compatibility will be necessary. The general criteria to be considered areas follows:

Design the lighting system in accordance with the latest engineeringpractices and standards.

Install items to meet high standards of quality, comfort, noise control andmaintenance.

Coordinate lighting layouts with the design so as to control interior andexterior brightness; secure non-glare surface finishes with maximumreflection factors and minimum deterioration; incorporate flexibility toaccommodate space changes.

Provide 2' x 4' lamps with T-8 ballasts. However, in the event spacelimitations require additional illumination in some areas, 2' x 2' lamps withT-8 ballasts may be utilized.

Provide a convenient means to relamp, clean, repair or replace lightingfixtures. Give special consideration to fixtures mounted in inaccessible orhazardous locations by providing chain or cable-operated disconnectinghangers, winches, catwalks, overhead access, etc. Avoid nonessential,inaccessible fixtures.


48/61



Consider fixture lamp life. Incandescent lamps should only be used tomeet design specifications for special areas, such as task lighting inoffices.

Unless otherwise identified in the Facility Program, the averagemaintained foot candles for the different areas within the building shall

conform to standards established within the Electrical Design ServicesGuidelines as published by the UMCP AEC. As a minimum, all spacesshall have lighting intensities in accordance with the recommendations ofthe Illuminating Engineering Society (IES).

Occupancy sensors, timers, etc. should be utilized in most common areas,such as hallways and restrooms.

Lighting shall use high power factor ballast and energy savinglamps/ballasts.

Multiple switching shall be utilized wherever possible. Emergency exits shall be marked with illuminated green exit signs. Exterior Lights should be automated via a photo cell sensor.

V. DATA PROCESSING EQUIPMENT All data processing equipment will be stored in our IT facility located in Nice Hall(#452). Each lab and office in ESRL will have individual computers, and theirrequirements are outlined in the next section.

W. IT REQUIREMENTSThe Chesapeake Biological Laboratory will provide standard telecommunicationsspecifications to the Consultant for incorporation into the Contract Documents.Voice, data, interactive video, and special requirements will need to beaddressed by the Consultant after conferring with the user.

Two different types of telecommunications outlets will be provided for thebuilding. For most areas, the outlet will consist of a duplex RJ-45 jack wired withfour pair unshielded twisted pair Cat.5e each capable of standard gigabitEthernet communication. All voice and data connectivity on each floor will beterminated at a designated wiring closet on that floor to include an appropriatenumber of ports on a supplied RJ45 Cat.5e patch panel, space for office buildinggrade switching gear, standard 120V AC power, and a register/duct supplyingcool air from the central air conditioning plant. Runs from each closet to eachoutlet cannot exceed 100 meters. Connectivity between wiring closets will behomerun to the primary network wiring closet in the adjoining FRC building. Thiswiring is to be done with one pair of 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber terminatedwith LC connectors. The data communication contractor will test all dataconnections (copper and fiber) between the room outlets and their associatedwiring closets and the runs from those wiring closets to the master FRCnetworking room. Some areas will also require an outlet for video. These outletsshall be mounted at various mounting heights.


49/61



The Consultant must confer with the user through UMCP AEC to determinespecific requirements and needs.

The Consultant is expected to fulfill the following criteria:

Provide adequate raceway distribution system concealed in the building. Provide future expansion to satisfy the voice, data and video requirements

of the designated system and various users’ needs. Telecommunications rooms shall be provided on each floor and be a

minimum 7'W x 5'D. Each room should be equipped with:o Wall mounted fire retardant plywood mounting boards.o Office quality lighting, and heating and air-conditioning.o Convenience power outlets, with at least one on building generator.o Floors treated with anti-dust floor sealer and hardener.o Terminal equipment protection from sources of potential heat and

water damage.o An emergency indoor/outdoor phone.

Telecommunications, as with other utilities, are to be included in the buildingcontract and thus the Contractor will be responsible for bringing service to thebuilding from the FRC. The cost of connection to this system will include, but notbe limited to, the following:

Cable protection at the building and at the switch. Cable splicing. Conduit, inner liner and the installation of additional manholes. Cable, equipment, switch hardware, etc. necessary to connect the

proposed building to the campus telecommunications, data and videonetwork.

X. SPECIAL SECURITY REQUIREMENTSThe following list represents design recommendations, which may aid the DesignConsultant in developing methods of avoiding crime through physical solutions:

All exterior doors which are designated as "EXIT ONLY" should beinstalled without hardware on the exterior.

Emergency exits required by code should be supplied without exteriorhardware and should be supplied with an automatic door closer as well aswith an alarmed panic device with local and remote annunciatingcapability.

Stairwells and elevators must utilize public spaces for access and egress.Elevators or stairwells should not allow access directly into private officeareas which would jeopardize security to the area.


50/61



Long corridors are to be avoided. Shortened corridors increase the feelingof territoriality in each area so that the casual pedestrian who enters theparticular area is discouraged from being there unless there is a validreason.

Office areas should be physically separated from areas of general usage.

Restrooms and stairwells should not be separated from areas of highusage. Fire doors to stair towers are to include vision panels (3" x 33"). Different units within the facility should be separately securable without

interfering with required egress routes from the building. Surface materials or windows which can be easily vandalized should be

avoided. Service and rear entry doors are to be as entry-proof as possible. They

should be constructed of heavy-duty construction with locking systemswhich provide an appropriate degree of security.

All doors should have hinge pins which are not exposed to public areas.

All offices should be equipped with heavy-duty mortise pushbutton andanti-friction latch bolts. An intrusion alarm should be installed to protect interior spaces such as

computer equipment rooms. It may be desirable to extend new interior partitioning to the structure

above. Walls which allow access through drop ceilings should beminimized.

Y. LOCKING SYSTEM A new locking system was installed at CBL in 2008. The new cores, StanleySecurity/Best Access system, have been installed in the doors of all buildings oncampus. The new building will need to fit into this system. Parameters of thesystem include:

Every room within the ESRL needs to have a locking door on it. All ESRL exterior entrances will have the same core. Each laboratory, research area and office lock in ESRL must be a sub-set

of the core. All locks for service, telecom or utility areas should use the maintenance

master series instead of the ESRL master lock. All locks on the Chiller Enclosure need to be on the maintenance master

series.

Z. SERVICE FACILITY REQUIREMENTSThe facility will receive its equipment deliveries through the FRC, which has aservice parking lot and entrance. This entrance will accept the deliveries ofresearch samples and equipment; its parking area is adequately sized fordeliveries by cargo vans and trucks. All deliveries will move through the FRC to


51/61


52/61



Each space in this project shall be designed to provide optimal hearingconditions within the space, with consideration given to the preclusion ofunwanted sounds from entering the space. Spaces that will contain noisegenerating sources shall be designed away from spaces requiring quiet, or shall

be adequately isolated acoustically. Consideration shall be given to thetransmission of sound through a ceiling, or through mechanical system, or overa partition that does not extend to the structure. Consideration shall be given tosculptured ceilings, acoustical flooring, non-parallel walls that cover in thedirection of the source of sound and other techniques that will avoid thenecessity of adding sound absorbing materials after the facility is completed.
