ELECTRICAL UPGRADE TRIAL, PHASE TWO
Facilities Manager Linda Pollari led with an overview of the electrical upgrade project and a proposal to continue the pilot program recently completed in Building 91.
The presentation included reports from electrical engineers Celestin and Jeanne Hariton of Hariton Engineering, electrical contractor Chris Chase of Triple C, and architects Kimbro Frutiger and Liz McClean from Architectural Resources Group, specialists in historic restoration. Tim Guest, who resides in Building 91, also gave an account of how the work affected daily life in the building.
The crew replaced and upgraded the interior wiring of the entire building, installing new electrical panels and a new multi-meter vault and conduit at the end of the building. It took six weeks to complete the work; each individual unit took about 1 week. The new system will accommodate the power upgrade the Green receives in the future, but for now is receiving power at the same level as every other building on the property.
The next phase is to conduct trials on other building types. The resolution before the Board was to expand the trial to Bldg. 1 (a type 1 building) and Bldg. 88 (a type 8 building) at a total cost not to exceed $275,000. It was passed unanimously. The Board also passed a resolution allowing management to hire a temporary project coordinator for these jobs.
