SUCF#: 161035 -Abate & Renovate Walk-in Coolers Pomology Cold Storage Building
Request for Qualifications
Cornell University is seeking professional design services for the removal of surfaces that have asbestos containing material (ACM) presently adhered to a block wall, which might be impacted during heavy equipment.
Project Description
The overall project goal is to provide a replacement of material in locations as necessary to maintain insulation capability for cold storage while minimizing the impact to the floor area and storage needs. Additionally, using prior investigative work, assist Cornell with the selection and detail for a
cost-effective solution to remove and replace insulation panel units in a phased construction plan. While some of the apple orchard is used as a living lab, a portion of the research takes place in a temperature-controlled pomology walk-in cooler within the Orchard Store on Dryden Rd. in Ithaca New York.
The chosen Architectural/Engineering firm will provide construction document services for the removal and replacement of insulation wall block/panel in rooms 101, 102, 108, and 109.
