briefly. The tenants need to be included in discussions. There is a heavy loading area on each floor. Data storage files for computer disk storage creates bigger problems. ~ Si na e g g Nothing has been done yet. MMDC will get design standards out to you. Building Systems Byron had meeting with Ron and Leonard yesterday. Plans are coming alqng well and no problems with direction. Identified a couple of questions: 1. Can we sp~cify equipment brand name or can we leave open, per your rules & regulations? R.G. state~ you can specify name but you have to specify an equivalent. County is structured exempt ~'rom competitive bidding. 2. Will there be conflict with FTA regulations? Not if you spe~ify "brand name or equivalent" in the specs. ' Item #2 regarding utility capacities with PGE. Other issue utilities that need to be explored: telephone, gas, etc. storm drain is another potential problem. As far as gas, power and water, there are no problems with capacity to handle and the sanitary is okay too. Electrical preliminary checking has been done with PGE on how service brought in and what typ~e power will be available for site. We need to get letter from PGE in writing to put into budget, ,Iwe don't want to have any hidden costs surface later on. Interface has been asked to pursue this. R.G. will check with Salem Electric to see if there is interest ar an option to iuse them due to recent legislation passed. County also sells electricity from co-generation plant i~ brooks to PGE. ~ If they are an option, let Leonard know right away and they will take it from tl~at point. Bob at Salem Electric was chair of the site selection committee for this project an~l has been very supportive. Architectural Issues The conference room occupancy issue has been resolved. Leonard will keep tl}is in mind in his pre-ap process and dealing with occupancy per square foot of space in th~e stairwells and conference room/roof garden area. Since it is a life safety agenda, Ron or Ric~lc will attend the meeting with the city on Thursday, 7/10, at 10 AM with Leonard on pre-applicati'pn permits. Issues to be addressed Questions have surfaced regardina restroom size and are they adequate? ', There seems to be long distances between areas. All restrooms had been designed to co~e standards, but because of modifications to office layouts, they need to be readjusted. The lo~g space between restrooms is not a plus to marketing leased space. If we are still looking at 2"dl floor showers in one area, R.G. needs to meet with David Hartwig, Risk Management at coun~' to discuss this option. All restrooms need to be ADA compliant. Dave, Leonard and Bryon v~ill work on more cental location with risers in building to develop utility core that will wor~C for integrating restrooms in the office space layouts. These changes will need to get on ~D drawings for August 15`'' deadline. ' Discussions ensued regarding riser locations and employees being networked. Byron gave a ~ description of bringing power into the building. Working with 3 transform~rs, the main one comes in and takes 480 up through the building with mechanical and lighting.
