EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
On June 9, 2015, the Board approved the acquisition of a commercial office building at Silo Bend for the establishment of a Technology Operations Center providing for an off-site data center outside of the coastal high hazard area, and consolidation of some Information & Technology Division staff, resources and services for more efficient operations. The acquisition supports the relocation of all Information and Technology personnel from the Lois Center and selected Division activities from the Raymond O. Shelton School Administrative Center (ROSSAC). Remodeling and build-out of the building interior is required to support the staff and equipment being relocated. District staff selected Carastro & Associates, Inc. and R.W. Tymewell, Inc. to provide design and construction management services for a project to accomplish the work. The scope of work provides for the replacement of selected heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) units and the addition of new HVAC units to support the data center and building occupancy; demolition of existing offices; construction of data, printing, and technology operations centers; revisions to power and lighting; new floor and wall finishes; and installation of low voltage systems to support building occupants and provide security. |
