FIT OUT GUIDE The objectives of the CITIGROUP CENTRE Tenant Fit-Out Manual are to:

• Help protect the image and quality of CITIGROUP CENTRE for the benefit of both the tenants and owners.

• Set guidelines to ensure a safe, comfortable, attractive working environment for tenants, employees, and their clients.

• Provide assistance for tenants to ensure that fit outs complement the base building to ensure the effectiveness of the base building services.

• Ensure the long-term asset value of CITIGROUP CENTRE. This document shall be read in conjunction with the ‘CITIGROUP CENTRE House Rules’ which provides details on deliveries, lifting, parking, security access, and after hours air conditioning. INTRODUCTION The CITIGROUP CENTRE was completed in July 2000. CITIGROUP CENTRE has been designed to reflect a new working philosophy, which will carry businesses successfully into the 21st century. It is expected that any tenancy work will embrace this philosophy and thus benefit the designers, builders, tenants and building owners. 1.0 FIT OUT ADMINISTRATION

1.1 THE PROJECT MANAGER

The key to successful fit out is a competent project manager co-ordinating between the tenant, services contractors, and CITIGROUP CENTRE management. The tenant is responsible for appointing the project manager, whose appointment shall be approved by the CITIGROUP CENTRE management. CITIGROUP CENTRE has a sophisticated suite of services for today’s tenant, and to gain the optimum from these services, tenant fit outs must be correctly designed, installed, and commissioned. The majority of tenant complaints with services are due to modifications made during the fit out, which can be avoided by proper design and execution.


It is the responsibility of the project manager to chair co-ordination meetings between the tenant, CITIGROUP CENTRE management and relevant specialist service contractors on a regular basis to enable CITIGROUP CENTRE management to monitor the progress of the fit out and service modifications for the benefit of the tenant. The project manager shall appoint to remain on site for the duration of the fit out.

• A competent full time foreman or supervisor fully experienced in all aspects of the work. To be the project manager’s representative on the site.

• The foreman shall have the authority to take all necessary actions requested by the CITIGROUP CENTRE management in relation to quality, performance and over all control.

• The foreman shall be responsible for the daily �abeled��d�n and planning of the work.

• The project manager shall ensure the foreman or supervisor has a mobile phone for contact during work and after hours.

1.2 CO-ORDINATION MEETINGS

During the fit out program there will be a series of meetings, chaired by the project manager and held in the CITIGROUP CENTRE management offices. Attendees will be the project manager, a tenant representative, the nominated CITIGROUP CENTRE management representative, and as appropriate, representatives from specialist service contractors as invited by the Project manager. The project manager shall issue minutes to all attendees of the co-ordination meetings, within three (3) days of the meeting.

The project manager shall nominate floor and stair wardens as appropriate for all shifts.

4.2 FIRE OR SMOKE In the event of fire or smoke, the floor warden, or in their absence, the stair warden, shall alert people on the floor and must direct them to the fire stairs. The stair warden will then


contact the security control desk via the WIP phone in the fire hydrant cupboard, and wait for instructions. Under no circumstances is evacuation to take place until the evacuation tone is sounded. If it is safe to do so and those trained in the use of portable fire fighting appliances such as extinguishers and hose reels may attempt to extinguish the fire.

4.3 BOMB THREAT In the event of a bomb threat, the recipient must remain calm and try to keep the caller on the line as long as possible. The recipient should listen for background noise, accent etc. which might give a clue to the age, sex, and location of the caller. Questions which may assist are:

• Where is the bomb ? • When will it go off ? • Why was the bomb placed in CITIGROUP CENTRE ? • What does it look like ? • How can it be set off ? • What is your name ?

If the caller hangs up, under no circumstances must the recipient hang up as the call can be traced. The recipient must notify the floor warden, or in the absence of the floor warden, contact the security control desk via the WIP phone. If a bomb is found, do not touch, tilt or tamper with the device. 5.0 ARCHITECTURAL The architectural elements of the fit out shall conform as a minimum to this section.

5.1 PLASTERBOARD Unless otherwise specified use 13 mm plasterboard in sheets as large as practicable. Horizontal sheet joints are to be avoided except where otherwise specified.

5.6 TRIM All head and vertical trims where detailed are to be 25 mm matt �abeled� aluminium ‘snap-in’ section, fixed in accordance with manufacturers specifications where applicable. 25mm adhesive fixed flat aluminium trim to match shall be used where required.

5.7 SOUND RATINGS Sound rated walls, sound rated baffles and under floor baffles shall have services and penetrations sealed in all accordance with the manufacturer’s recommended procedures as detailed in published technical bulletins.

5.8 AIR-CONDITIONING REQUIREMENTS The sound attenuation baffle shall be penetrated as required for air-conditioning ducts.

5.9 SEALING OF PENETRATIONS Services within the ceiling to slab zone, where passing through a sound rated partition must be completely sealed with approved setting compound or mastic, to form an acoustic seal equal in performance to and maintaining that of the adjacent partition.

5.10 ACOUSTIC CONSIDERATIONS As the background noise level is low due to the high performance air-conditioning, consideration shall be made as to angled walls which may reflect sound from one area of the fit out to another. Such reflections shall be rectified at the project manager’s cost.


5.11 GLAZING FRAMING All glazing sections are to be 1abeled & finish to match screw fix aluminium section generally to the perimeter of each glass window or panel having clip-in loose aluminium glazing bead to match fixed in accordance with the details.

The custom wood panels shall be fixed to an aluminium T bar section screw fixed to the end of the wall and the curtain track, adhesive fixed to the sill, and silicone jointed to the mullions. All gaps and joints must be filled prior to painting.

5.17 ABUTMENTS Where partitions meet existing ducted skirting allow to cut silicone cover plates behind the partition to allow for the cover plates to be removed for easy access to cables.

5.18 ENVIRONMENTAL


Materials shall be selected that have low off gassing potential and that have no or minimal use of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as formaldehyde’s in their manufacture.

5.19 SIGNAGE

5.19.1 Single floor tenant’s All tenants who occupy one whole floor may erect their own signage and corporate identification on the floor subject to the approval of CITIGROUP CENTRE management. The project manager shall arrange and pay for standard signage in the main directory board in the lobby through the preferred signage contractor.

5.19.2 Multi-tenanted Floors All tenants who occupy less than one whole floor shall erect signage which complies with the standard details as set out in the CITIGROUP CENTRE corporate identity manual. The project manager shall arrange and pay for the standard signage including main directory board in the lobby. The standard typeface is subject to CITIGROUP CENTRE management approval. The signage placement shall be made on the basis of how the tenant door relates to the corridor and other tenant’s architectural arrangements, and may not extend past the tenant’s leased area unless some particular architectural feature requires special consideration. If the tenant requires additional signage such as a logo on the glass entry door or fixed panes, or within the tenancy visible to the common corridor, these require approval from CITIGROUP CENTRE management, such additional signage does not waive the requirement for the standard signage.

5.20 PENETRATIONS If penetrations are required through the floor slab or through core beams, the project manager shall prepare drawings for the approval of CITIGROUP CENTRE management. If the penetrations are through structural elements, the project manager shall engage the Structural Engineer nominated by the Management Office to approve the penetrations required. Penetrations through a floor slab invariably require access to another tenancy, which shall be arranged by CITIGROUP CENTRE management. The project manager shall be fully responsible to co-ordinate the work, and to ensure that any work performed does not degrade the areas worked in. Particular reference is made to ceiling tiles, which must be reinstated with T-bars, or if damaged, new tiles installed. All penetrations shall be adequately water sealed and fire rated in accordance with the Building Code of Australia, and the Insurance Council of Australia. Any damage and associated costs resulting from penetrations not adequately sealed shall be the responsibility of the project manager to rectify at the project manager’s cost. Contractors must be escorted by “Base Building” Security Officers when in another tenants area. The Officers must be booked by the Management Office and all costs will be the responsibility of the tenant.

5.23 COMMON AREAS The common areas are the toilets, service corridors, risers, and lift lobbies contained with in the core of CITIGROUP CENTRE. Any changes to fixtures and fittings within the common areas require the approval of CITIGROUP CENTRE management. Special maintenance requirements to non-standard fixtures and fittings will be chargeable to the tenant. 6.0 SERVICES CITIGROUP CENTRE offers a suite of sophisticated services to meet the demands oftoday’s tenant. It is important to understand that the installation of partitioning will almost certainly cause alternations to the air-conditioning, sprinkler system, and lighting layout as a minimum. Careful attention to the modification of tenancies during fit out shall ensure that the level of service is not compromised. Specific reference is made to air-conditioning where tenants complaints are invariably due to poor tenancy design and/or execution. Due to the substantial nature and sophistication of the services offered by CITIGROUP CENTRE, it is strongly recommended that preferred contractors be used for nominated services. In general these preferred contractors are either the supplier of existing electronic systems, or have performance obligations to CITIGROUP CENTRE management under maintenance agreements. Should alternative contractors be used, the project manager shall allow monies for the preferred contractor to review the design and installation of the alternative contractors work, and to certify when satisfied that the work is the required standard, that the work has not compromised the system and/or performance obligations under a maintenance agreement. The current preferred contractors are listed at Appendix A.

6.1 AIR-CONDITIONING AND CONTROLS The air-conditioning system on a typical floor consists of a variable volume system around the perimeter and up to 30 variable air volume boxes located in the centre and perimeter zones. The master temperature sensors for the variable volume system are located on the perimeter columns and the temperature sensors for the VAV boxes are left


in the ceiling with a length of sensor cable to allow the temperature sensors to be drawn down into partition walls during the tenancy fit out. Ancillary fresh air and ancillary exhaust air systems are provided which have blanked off spigots for connection in the core area. The project manager shall obtain from the tenant a detailed plan showing location of all staff, equipment and lighting to determine the heat load, and the usages of all areas. These shall be provided to the air-conditioning contractor or consultant for tenancy design. The return air route from the tenanted space is through the ceiling plenum to the return air risers within the core. Areas which are highly partitioned, or have floor to slab partitioning, must have sufficient return air grilles to allow return air to traverse the above ceiling space when partitioned doors are shut. Tenancies on multi-tenanted floors usually require return air grilles replaced in the core corridor to allow return air from the tenancy to drop below the false ceiling level prior to returning to the return air rise. Air and water balancing of fit out work shall be performed only by NATA approved balancing contractors.

6.2 AIR-CONDITIONING – DEDICATED CONDENSER WATER Dedicated condenser water is available on the high and sky-rise levels. The capacity available is 35 watts/m2 NLA. Connection to the dedicated condenser water system is subject to the following:

• A submission setting out details of the proposed installation for review and approval.

• Details of the equipment including the model and manufacturer, the output in kilowatts and the water flow requirements. The pipe work to the unit shall include the following:

• Isolating valves on the flow and return pipelines. • An electrically operated solenoid valve in the flow to the unit, activated only with

the compressor starts. • A fine mesh strainer in the flow pipeline to the unit. • A ‘STAD’ water balancing valve in the flow to the unit. • A mechanical interlock which disables the refrigeration component on loss of

condenser water flow and resets automatically of return of flow.

6.3 COMMUNICATIONS, AERIALS AND MATV

existing aerial operation.

6.4 ELECTRICAL Electrical distribution is via main electrical switchrooms on level P3 and Level 27 to tenant distribution boards on each level.

6.4.1 Tenant lighting Lights are controlled from group switches in the tenancy of each floor. In the interest of the environment and energy saving, it is strongly recommended that each office or area (not exceeding 50m2) be separately switched so that energy is only consumed when areas are occupied. The light fittings within the tenancy contain two slots either side of the diffuser for supply air. Should other lighting such as down lighting be installed, the project manager shall ensure sufficient supply air grilles are installed for the proper performance of the air-conditioning. The Distribution Board in the electrical cupboard on each floor is designed to cater for up to four (4) tenants per floor, and has 72 poles. All electrical circuits and GPO’s must be numbered, ie circuit number and distribution board number, and the distribution board permanently �abeled as appropriate. The load across phases must be balanced.

6.4.2 Wiring All wiring run in ceiling spaces, including the central service corridor, must be clipped to the slab and bundled by means of cable ties. No wiring whatsoever shall be allowed to lie on the ceiling grid or tiles, clipped to the sprinkler pipework, and run in the datacable trays.


6.4.3 Emergency and exit lighting Emergency and exit lighting is installed on an open plan basis and monitored by the Nexus Control System, located in the building engineers office on level B1 to comply with authority requirements. As a result of the tenancy fit out, further emergency and exit lighting maybe required, and any such additional lighting or alteration must comply with authority requirements, be of the self contained type and must be connected to the corresponding channel route and commissioned by the buildings current service provider. Prior to disconnection of any unit CITIGROUP CENTRE management is to be consulted.

6.5 FIRE – INCLUDING EMERGENCY WARNING INTERCOM SYSTEM (EWIS)

6.5.1 Emergency Warning and Intercom System (EWIS)

The EWIS has speakers distributed on ceiling tiles. Tenancy fit outs generally attenuate the volume of the EWIS speakers and the project manager shall install additional speakers or relocate speakers as necessary to achieve authority compliance.

6.5.2 Sprinkler system The wet pipe sprinkler system complies with AS2118-1982 AMD3 Group 1, and all modification work for tenancy fit out shall be carried out in strict accordance with this code. Any alterations to the position of internal walls or ceilings could affect the sprinkler area of coverage and effectiveness. A clear space of 500mm minimum clearance between the sprinkler heads and top of storage must also be maintained, and particular reference is made to compactus or filing areas. If new ducts, platforms, hoods, storage racks are installed, sprinklers may be required in or under such items. Sprinkler heads or flush fitting escutcheons covering the sprinkler shall not be painted nor shall decorations or signs be hung on sprinkler heads.

6.5.3 Drain downs Drain downs must be kept to an absolute minimum, any drain downs must be requested from, and receive approval from CITIGROUP CENTRE management. The existing sprinkler system shall be retained in service whilst new pipes are being installed, and all new pipes shall be cut over during one drain down. If a drain down is required to be left overnight the project manager must notify the Property Manager who will inform the insurance company and arrange security patrols to inspect the floor (minimum hourly), at his cost, as well as two CO2 and one water extinguisher at the nearest fire exit or both fire exits if over half the floor is isolated, and submit a ‘Fire Systems Impairment Request.’ Only the current maintenance contractor will be allowed to conduct drain downs and reinstatements of the system. If the buildings maintenance contractor is not used for the works they must be appointed to inspect and certify the completed installation to ensure code compliance.


6.5.4 Smoke detection system Smoke detectors are mounted above each fire stair exit doors, in the goods lift lobby and throughout tenancy and these are connected to the Fire Indicator Board (FIB). The project manager shall notify CITIGROUP CENTRE management in writing when dusty or smokey works are to take place so that the detector may be isolated. Any charges incurred from the fire brigade for false calls shall be the responsibility of the project manager. Under no circumstances are smoke detectors to remain isolated overnight after work has been completed.

6.5.5 Hydrant hose reels It is mandatory that the hydrant hose reel cupboard be adjacent to the fire stair and is not separated from the fire stair by the tenancy fit out. The hose reel shall reach all parts of a tenancy, and the project manager shall arrange for the hose reel to be extended if required.

6.6 HYDRAULICS

6.6.1 Plumbing The sanitary plumbing and cold water systems are able to serve additional fixtures on each typical floor. Each typical floor is served by four (4) waste stacks, with provisional junction for connection of tenants plumbing. In general, fixtures may be installed anywhere on the floor. All connections to cold water, soil and waste stacks, including vent pipes, must be in soldered copper piping.

6.6.2 Hot water Hot water within tenancy fit outs must be provided by hot water systems, zip heaters, or similar located with the tenancy. Systems providing instantaneous hot water through a cold water connection may be installed as this obviates the need for floor tundishes.

6.7 LIFTS If work is being performed in the lift lobby:

• When using a jackhammer near lift landing doors, care should be taken to avoid hitting the door track or dislodging concrete from below the track.

• Any landing button or hall landing plates and globes that require removal should be removed by the preferred lift contractor at the project manager’s cost. The lift contractor is provided in Appendix A.

• The car and landing door tracks to be kept clean and vacuumed when appropriate. • Lift loading door opened should be screened with plastic sheeting to minimize

ingress of dust into lift wells.


• Under no circumstances shall the project manager remove landing buttons, hall landing plates or globes. Unauthorised work may result in the failure of a bank of lifts. The lift contractor shall be engaged to perform this work.

6.8 SECURITY SYSTEMS

Security access is controlled throughout the common areas of CITIGROUP CENTRE by an electronic security access system. Tenants are encouraged to install a system which has compatible key technology. This means the tenancy proximity access key can be used for common area access as well. Provision of cards and programming of access to the tenancy area remains the responsibility of the project manager/tenant.

6.9 GREASE STACK Connections may be made to the grease stack subject to a submission of the requirement, all piping must be in copper with soldered joints, and in full compliance with Water Board requirements. Any additional heating of the grease line before it enters the grease stack in the form of electrical heating pads or similar is the responsibility of the tenant. It is the tenant’s responsibility to install and maintain the grease stack, including power consumed.

Citigroup Centre is located near a number of major office towers and prestigious retail complexes and hotels. It is also be serviced by a major retail centre, The Galeries Victoria. Citigroup Centre’s central location provides excellent access to public transport. One of Sydney’s major railway stations, Town Hall, is located opposite and is connected to the site through a lower ground floor retail arcade link. A major bus interchange is located at the Queen Victoria Building, providing bus services to many destinations around Sydney. In addition, 2 Park Street is currently linked to a monorail station, which provides easy access to other parts of the city, including Darling Harbour.


1.2 BUILDING DESCRIPTION 1.2.1 Office Tower The office tower was designed and constructed to Premium Grade specification and provides 41 levels of lettable space totalling 72,631 square metres with an average floor size of 1,770 square metres. The floor size varies in each of the low, mid, high and sky rises within the office tower.

LOW - 1,685 sqm to 1,716 sqm MID - 1,685 sqm to 1,775 sqm HIGH - 1,743 sqm to 1,865 sqm SKY - 1,174 sqm to 1,896 sqm

A typical office floor has a slab to slab height of 3.75 metres with a finished floor to ceiling height of 2.70 metres. The building core is based on the concept of an “internalised core” plan form. This method of core planning seeks to maximise the usable area on the tenants’ floors and allows all services to be accessed from within the core. The core to external wall dimensions on typical floors are predominantly 12 metres providing significant flexibility in office layout for tenants. The floor plate, core and services have been designed to provide a comfortable workspace ratio of up to one person per 10 square metres. The design of the office tower provides for panoramic views from most levels, with the Hitlon Hotel being the only high rise building immediately adjacent to the site. Above the Hitlon Hotel from level 34 there are spectacular 360 degree panoramas. The key to the success of the Citigroup Centre has been the benefit the large regular floor plates provide tenants. 1.2.3 The Basement Areas The Citigroup Centre provides four basement levels with 256 tenant car spaces, 26 loading bays and up to 32 car spaces for couriers, storage space for tenants as well as showers, toilets and bicycle parking. The access and egress to the car park and loading docks is from Pitt Street.
