We have just received information from Econar a few hours <br />ago. Our engineers with Karges-Faulconbridge, Inc. are currently reviewing the <br />information. They have already developed a partial list of questions that are unanswered <br />with the information sent. See the following list or requested inrormation: <br /> <br />1. Was the selection based on 30% propylene glycol? <br /> <br />2. Please provide equipment efficiency (COP & EER) data. <br /> <br />3. What warranties are standard? <br /> <br />4. What controls come with heat pumps? <br /> <br />5. Please provide standard ARI selections? <br /> <br />I have also attached the mechanical specifications. <br /> <br />This is not a complete review. A more comprehensive list will be developed in the next <br />few days. It is my belief that it is unlikely that we will know if the proposed system <br />meets the criteria established for the Library by the proposed council meeting on October <br />9th. The deadline for substitution request, as stated in the AlA A701 Instruction to <br />Bidders has also passed, and the last addendum has been issued. Which means that at this <br />point the best way to deal with this issue will be in the rorm of a change order, should <br />the product prove to be acceptable, once a General Contractor has been awarded the <br />contract. I would propose we reschedule the meeting with Council to the October 16th <br />meeting when our engineers have had adequate time to review information and Econar has <br />also had adequate time to provide the missing information. <br /> <br />Our commitment is to you and to providing a high quality building and systems that we have <br />both confidence and a successful history with. <br /> <br />Thank you for respecting our professional commitment, <br /> <br />Jennifer Anderson-Tuttle, Associate <br />KKE Architects, Inc. <br />612-596-4860 direct <br /> <br />1 <br />
