The contractor has completed the installation of the terminal boxes on the SG level and 1st floors of the SDS wing along with the wiring and programming of the controls. The contractor has installed the new air handling units and is in the process of replacing control values. The contractor is in the process of the reheat control valve and damper actuators on the ground, 1st and 2nd floors. Due to supply delays, the project will likely run behind schedule.

Superior Mechanical received the blower motor for the new back-up boiler that is going to be installed and has it stored on site. The terminal boxes for the SDS Wing SG Level and 1st Floor came in and Superior’s sub-contractor has installed them on the SG Level and 1st Floor along with Hoffman getting the new control wiring installed and units program for our Alerton Control System. Seventeen terminal boxes were replaced along with duct work modification on the SG Level and ten terminal boxes were replaced on the 1st floor.

Hoffman has pulled some of the wiring needed for the HVAC Controls on the SG level of the SDS wing of the Human Services Center. The terminal boxes are schedule to ship on March 18, 2022. Once received, Superior Mechanical will start installing the new terminal boxes on the SG level of the SDS wing. Hopefully Hoffman will be able to start installing the terminal boxes the week of March 21, 2022. Hoffman plans on installing the boxes in 3 phases, taking approximately 3 days for each phase. One day to disconnect the electrical and remove, one day for installation, and one day for hooking the electrical back up on the new units. There is no change on the ship dates for the other equipment from the 2-21-2022 report.

They continued on the installation of the water lines and began working on the electrical wiring for the new chiller on the 12th. The temporary chiller was taken off line at 4:00 Friday afternoon the 13th in order to complete the electrical hookup and startup of the new Trane chiller. The new chiller was up and running at 6:00. The new chiller has been in operation since the 13th at 6:00. Brady has the water lines scheduled to be insulated on the 24th.
