Facility Management Division expedited the engineering and bidding to have it installed in late summer due to the <br />Hult Center’s busy calendar of activities. The Overpark and Atrium will receive systems similar to that of the Hult <br />Center. In addition, the Parcade project will renew <br />and upgrade its groundwater-source heat pump <br />system. Work on these projects is scheduled to be <br />completed by mid-summer. Engineers consulting on <br />these projects are Systems West Engineers and <br />Solarc Architects and Engineers. Contractors are <br />Professional Mechanical Inc., C. J. Hansen Co., Inc., <br />Essex General Construction Inc., and Harvey & <br />Price Mechanical Contractors. <br /> <br />Meredith Fox, project manager of the Parcade <br />project said, "We're coordinating closely with <br />Planning & Development Department (PDD) <br />managers Scott Luell, Jeff Petry, and Eric <br />Jungjohann of Pacific Real Estate Services to <br />ensure their building customers experience minimum <br />disruption during this highly specialized and <br />technical work that affects so many building areas.” Russ Mecredy was project manager for the work at the Hult and <br />is managing the current projects at the Overpark and Atrium buildings. <br /> <br />These projects are partially funded by a United States Department of Energy (USDOE)-administered Energy <br />Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG), part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2008 <br />(ARRA) coordinated by PDD. Because federal funds are involved, these projects will comply with associated federal <br />labor, equity, and “Buy American” regulations. The budget for all four projects is $1.76 million, with up to $516,000 <br />reimbursable through the EECBG grant.
