JLRD has had provided MEP & FP design services for several State of Florida departments which aid in the state's ability to serve the public.
Projects for this client required close coordination with the end-user to implement infrastructure modifications in a phased approach while providing continued use of the respective facility. Chiller replacements, lighting fixture and control upgrades, TI improvements, and multi-story remodeling sum up the scope of projects performed for the Fourth District Court of Appeals, States Attorney's office, and the Florida Highway Patrol.
The design included an evaluation of different chiller replacement options utilizing a KT decision making (weighted,
comparative factor) matrix to determine the best engineering solution. The base scope project came in under budget, allowing the Owner to upgrade the lighting fixtures, from magnetic ballasts and T-12 lamps to programmed start
ballasts and T-8 lamps. In addition, existing lighting controls were replaced with occupancy sensing/automatic shut-off devices in compliance with ASHRAE 90.1 Standards. HVAC system controls upgrades were also performed.
Mechanically, JLRD worked closely with the Department of Management Services to ensure recently developed standards produced by the State
were incorporated into the design of the HVAC system. The building automation/EMS system was replaced in conformance with the State criteria for remote monitoring and control to reduce maintenance calls and associated costs.
JLRD also provided full commissioning services for the project to ensure the intended function and operation of the various building systems was implemented by the construction contractors.
