Flowchart: Alternate Process: Yavapai Regional Medical Center, East Campus Prescott, AZ Size: Phase I - 160,000 SF Construction Cost: $50,000,000 Scheduled Completion: December 2005 Project Manager: Steven O’Brien, P.E., (Mechanical) Project Engineer: Ken Sumiec, P.E., (Electrical) The Yavapai Regional Medical, East Campus project consists of the design and construction for a new full service hospital facility on 'green' site which incorporates state-of-the-art concepts for patient care environment and for energy efficiency and sustainable design factors. The Phase I construction consists of approximately 160,000 square feet of new construction, including 3-story tower, 60 patient rooms, four operating rooms and full service emergency, imaging and medical support facilities, with an overall project construction budget of an estimated $50,000,000. Construction is currently underway on a 'fast track' basis with the A/E team working in close coordination with Kitchell as the Project Construction Manager/General Contractor. In addition to the current Phase I construction, the MPE infrastructure has been master planned and (electrical service, HVAC/plumbing, Central Plant, and piping distribution systems) arranged for the ultimate planned facility buildout at 250 beds. Mechanical Design The Phase I Central Plant includes two (2) 350 ton electric drive high efficiency centrifugal water chillers, each sized for approximately 2/3 of the total building cooling load. The chilled water distribution system is primary/secondary variable flow. Similarly, three (3) 120 boiler horsepower (BHP) dual fueled (natural gas and No. 2 fuel oil) hot water boilers, each at approximately 50% of the total facility space heating and domestic hot water heating load, are provided. Similar to the chilled water system, the building heating water system is a primary/secondary variable flow arrangement. In consultation with the Owner and Construction Manager, it was decided that the facility would utilize hot water boilers in lieu of high pressure steam boilers in order to reduce operating and maintenance costs and initial construction costs associated with a typical steam plant. Steam requirements for the facility were minimized and where necessary for SPD/sterilizers and humidification, package electric powered 'clean steam' steam generators are provided in the immediate vicinity of the equipment being served. Building HVAC systems consist of eight (8) variable volume factory package custom air handling units, roof mounted in weatherproof penthouse enclosures complete with service vestibules to protect piping, controls and electrical components from outdoor ambient conditions and afford the facilities operating and maintenance staff an 'out of the weather' working environment. Air handling units located on the 3rd floor (Level 4) roof are designed and arranged to facilitate future relocation to the 5th floor (Level 6) in conjunction with the future construction of the future 4th and 5th floors without major interruption and disruption to the 3rd floor continued operation during the upper floor construction. Electrical Design The electrical design included providing a single emergency generator with provisions for adding a future unit. To meet Owner requirements, provisions were made to allow automatic transfer of non code critical radiology loads and kitchen facilities to emergency power if the demands of code required loads (life safety, critical and equipment) allowed it. To minimize main feeders routed in corridor space, the design made extensive use of conduit buried in the main floor slab. Voice and data systems were engineered and designed working closely with the Owner.
