Project Management

 

On the campus, GSU has a pedestrian walkway called the “Alumni Path". From dusk until dawn, the entire length of the path gets very dark. This was cited as a safety concern for students. This project will add solar-powered lighting to the walkway as drawn and defined. Project also includes the “Alumni Extension Path.” Outdoor Emergency telephones are also in project scope.

CURRENT PROJECT STATUS: The project is 90% complete.

The Governors State University Phase 1 Complex, constructed circa 1974, is a multi‐story complex of six interconnected units. Two additions were built in subsequent years including the Center for Performing Arts. The units are divided by elevation changes and area separation walls at the roof level. Interior spaces in these areas had been experiencing chronic damaging water leaks.

ROOF AREA:

This project provides for complete Roof System replacement at Building “C” and Building “E”.

SCOPE OF WORK:

Scope of work calls for the removal and replacement of the entire roof assembly down to the structural concrete deck

CURRENT PROJECT STATUS:

This project is approximately 85% complete.

The Governors State University Complex, constructed circa 1974, is a multi‐story complex of six interconnected units. Two additions were built in subsequent years including the Center for Performing Arts. The units are divided by elevation changes and area separation walls at the roof level. Interior spaces in these areas have been experiencing chronic damaging water leaks.

ROOF AREA:

This project provides for complete Roof System replacement at Building “A”, Building “B” and the Center for Performing Arts.
Building “A” consists of six distinct roof areas for a total of 47,160square feet. Roof Areas A‐2 and A‐5 are elevated 7’ above the adjacent roof areas. Building “B” consists of three distinct roof Areas for a total of 28,568square feet. Roof A‐3 is depressed slightly and constrained by an area separation curb and existing windows.
The Performing Arts Center “PA” consists of eight roof areas for a total of 20,172 square feet. Roof Area PA‐1 sits atop the fly tower.
The total estimated roof area of 95,900 square feet is part of this project’s scope for roof replacement. This total contradicts the 75,500 square feet referenced in the original RFQ.

SCOPE OF WORK:

Scope of work calls for the removal and replacement of the entire roof assembly down to the structural concrete/metal deck. A predetermined square footage will be built into the project to address any unforeseen repairs to the concrete and/or metal deck due to water saturation below the insulation.

CURRENT PROJECT STATUS:

This project will begin in spring 2020

The main “D” entrance to the university is closest to the hub of student activities and thus has the heaviest volume of pedestrian traffic. During the winter, the perpetual opening of the entrance doors allows cold weather to infiltrate the interior Information Desk and Admission Office areas. Employees and visitors are burdened with a chronic chill. Project goal is to mitigate the cold interior temperatures.

Replace two vestibule unit heaters, add baseboard heaters beneath the Student Central and Admission counters, replace ceiling unit heater across from Financial Aid window

CURRENT PROJECT STATUS:

Purchase order and contracts are out and equipment is on order.
