day requirements for uploading information will be established at the MEP
coordination kickoff meeting. Uploads may occur more frequently if required by
project schedule. When subcontractors upload files to the FTP site, the
information shall be organized in folders with the current date (YY/MM/DD).
This will ensure that the date is easily understood by the rest of the team.
3. When uploading files, please notify all affected parties via e-mail including a list
of uploaded files, summary and purpose of contents and location if placed in a
specific folder.
4. It is the responsibility of each team member to always download the latest files
necessary to complete their task. Please check the folder location, name and
dates of the files you download. This will reduce coordination errors
throughout the design phase.

B. Clash Detection: Navisworks software shall be used to identify clashes between trades.
These clashes will be communicated to individual trades via a clash report in advance of
weekly coordination meetings such that the clashes can be discussed and resolved in
those meetings.
C. Coordination
1. A flow of coordination along with a completion schedule will be established
that allows the floors to be coordinated and signed off prior to installation of
any MEP equipment.
2. All trades must review other trades drawings prior to coordination and agree
to an elevation space above the ceiling for each system
3. For each particular area or floor, there will be two phases of coordination.
The first phase will be the mains associated with each trade. This includes
all medium pressure duct (including VAV boxes), large return ducts (greater
the 24"), large diameter pipe (2" and above), sloped piping and conduit
racks. The second phase will be all remaining items.
4. Shop Drawings for items that will be involved in coordination shall be
submitted and reviewed prior to the start of coordination in each area.
5. Systems not submitted and reviewed prior to coordination are subject to
change without cost to the project.
6. All trades to use software that can be imported into Navisworks.
7. Allow for required access over cable tray as indicated on contract
documents.
8. Each subcontractor shall verify local code clearance requirements relating to
their respective scopes of work.
9. Reference Division 1 Specifications for additional information.
10. Working Models will be imported into one file to create a BIM Coordination
Model.
11. A weekly coordination meeting will be scheduled to review conflicts, or more
often as necessary to meet project schedules. See section I.B.
12. A representative from each company coordinating must be present at each
meeting. This representative should have first hand knowledge of what has
been modeled and is prepared resolve conflicts based on what is discussed
in the coordination meeting.
13. As is the case on most structural frames, the structure takes priority over
conflicts unless specific changes are approved by the EOR. Furthermore,
work on the structure will proceed and will not be stopped waiting for BIM
drawings from the various trades.
14. At completion of coordination for each area, the Coordinated BIM Model
Manager shall provide a coordinated drawing that includes a block with lines
and spaces for every subcontractor to sign off.
15. The clash resolution priorities listed in section E below will be reviewed at the
MEP coordination kickoff meeting and will be amended as needed to fit the
project specific requirements.
D. Resolution of Conflicts
1. All parties shall review the Coordinated CAD Drawing and the BIM Models
for coordination conflicts.
2. J.E. Dunn will be available to facilitate coordination between trades.
3. If RFIs are needed to address a conflict, that RFI will be noted on the
Navisworks report with an image of conflict within the subcontractors
drawing.
Page 5
DOCUMENT 00840
3D MEP MODEL COORDINATION PROGRAM
4. RFIs must include an image of the conflict and a proposed answer if
possible.
5. Conflicts shall be noted on the Navisworks report and a copy kept on file until
all corrections are completed.
6. An agreed upon completion date will be established based on the estimated
time to resolve the conflict (not to exceed scheduled coordination milestones,
as shown on contract schedule.)
E. Clash Resolution Priorities: In the event of conflicts involving location and layout of work,
use the following priority guidelines to resolve
1. Architecture and Structure take precedence over other disciplines, this
includes ceilings, walls, soffit framing, light fixture locations, etc...
2. Equipment location and access
3. Gravity drain lines, including steam, condensate, waste, storm and
dry/preaction fire protection systems.
4. High and medium pressure ductwork and devices.
5. Large diameter pressurized pipe mains, valves and devices (2" and larger),
including all fire protection mains.
6. Pneumatic Tube (PT)
7. Lighting fixtures and conduit racks/cable trays.
8. Fire protection branch piping, devices and heads.
9. Low pressure ductwork, grilles, registers, diffusers and associated
equipment.
10. Small diameter pressurized pipe mains, valves and devices (3" and smaller).
11. Sleeves through rated partitions.
12. Access panels
13. Notes
a. Ceilings should only be lowered (RFI) if all other design alternatives
have been exhausted.
b. The PT station must be per the design. All other alternatives should
be exhausted before following up with an RFI.
c. The PT Transfer Station is flexible so you can find open areas in the
ceiling cavity to elevate any conflicts (they need access panel in hard
ceiling, and access to this in general).
d. Do not allow ducts to run parallel and on top of walls or crossing
perpendicular to walls at the edge of door frames.
e. If a conflict regarding access to a particular piece of equipment
cannot be resolved, an RFI shall be written to the architect to
confirming that the proposed layout is acceptable.
F. Changes to the Contract Documents During Coordination
1. When time allows, changes will be made to BIM models and re-coordinated.
2. When time does not allow, detailers and foremen will coordinate with existing
field conditions.
3. If field coordination is required, as-builts will reflect the new field condition.
4. All changes to the construction documents (IE: ASIs, PRs, RFIs, etc.) will
be included in the as-builts.
Page 6
DOCUMENT 00840
3D MEP MODEL COORDINATION PROGRAM
2. Where equipment submittals are not available or equipment is unknown at
the time of coordination, subcontractors will work with J.E. Dunn to establish
access and installation zones to insert in the coordinated shop drawings.
3. Equipment locations will be coordinated with architectural layouts and
owners input.
4. Equipment requiring individualized detailing will be detailed separate from the
coordination drawing and added as a block or access zone. 3D rendering
and viewing may be necessary. These individual areas will be reviewed by
representatives from J.E. Dunn, the supplier, the design team and the owner,
for maintenance, access, and serviceability.

make a clarification of the indeterminate or interfering item. The RFI procedure Specified
herein shall be the method for requesting the clarification.
RFIs shall be submitted on a form approved by the Architect and the Owner. Forms shall
be completely filled in, and if prepared by hand, shall be fully legible after copying by
xerographic process. Each RFI shall be given a discrete, consecutive number. Each page of
the RFI, and of attachments to the RFI, shall bear the RFI number in the lower right corner.
RFIs may be submitted only on regular working days. With prior approval of the Architect
and Owner, RFIs may be submitted electronically utilizing e-mail, and attachments in a
format and utilizing software acceptable to the Architect and Owner. If electronic
submission is utilized, Contractor shall follow up with a paper copy, mailed or delivered
the same day, including a hard copy of the outgoing e-mail message signifying that the RFI
was also e-mailed.
Contractor shall endeavor to keep the number of RFIs to a minimum. Contractor shall

oriented. The system shall operate in real time, continuously analyzing the car(s) changing
position, condition, and work load. All controller and operational circuits including the
brake control and drive system shall be digital. Control of the elevator shall be automatic in
operation by means of push buttons in the car numbered to correspond to floors served, for
registering car stops, and by "up-down" push buttons at each intermediate landing and
"call" push buttons at terminal landings.
1.
Momentary pressing of one or more buttons shall dispatch the car to the designated
landings in the order in which the landings are reached by the car, irrespective of the
sequence in which the buttons are pressed. Each landing call shall be canceled when
answered.
2.
When the car is traveling in the up direction, it shall stop at all floors for which car
buttons or "up" hall buttons have been pressed. The car shall not stop at floors where
"down" buttons have been pressed, unless the stop for that floor has been registered
by a car button or unless the down call is at the highest floor for which any buttons

have been pressed. Pressing the "up" button when the car is traveling in the down
direction shall not intercept the travel unless the stop for that floor has been
registered by a car button or unless the up call is the lowest for which any button has
been pressed.
3.
When the car has responded to its highest or lowest stop, and stops are registered for
the opposite direction, its direction of travel shall reverse automatically and it shall
then answer the calls registered for that direction. If both up and down calls are
registered at an intermediate floor, only the call corresponding to the direction of car
travel shall be canceled upon the stopping of the car at the landing.
4.
A car that is stopping for the last hall call in the preference direction, and that hall
call is for the opposite direction with no onward car calls, shall reverse preference
when the selector position advances to the landing at which the car is committed to
stop. A car that is stopping for the last hall call in the preference direction, and that
hall call is for the same direction, shall hold its preference until the door is almost
closed allowing time for a passenger to register an onward car call which will
maintain the preference. If no car call is registered before the door is almost closed,
the car will lose its preference and shall be available to accept calls in either
direction.
Operation: Selective Collective - ETA based. The system is optimized to get a car to the
floor where a hall call has been registered, in the shortest time. The system receives input
information from standard call pushbuttons located in the hall, car position and car load
information from individual car Loadweighers.
When group operation is required, the group supervisory operation shall be embedded
within selected car controllers. No separate group controller shall be supplied. The
microprocessor shall constantly scan the system for hall calls. When hall calls are
registered, the control system shall immediately calculate the estimated time for arrival
using such information as, number of floors to travel from the current position, the time it
takes to travel one floor at top speed, calls assigned to a car, and car reversal time to
respond to a call in the opposite direction of travel. When a cars status changes or
additional hall calls are registered, the estimated time of arrival shall be recalculated and
calls reassigned if necessary.
1.
Traffic Pattern: The microprocessor shall provide flexibility to meet well defined
patterns of traffic, including up peak, down peak, and heavy interfloor demands, and
adjust for indeterminate variations in these patterns which occur in buildings.
2.
Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence shall be an integral part of the group
control system software. The enhanced artificial intelligence will optimize the
interfloor traffic performance. Inputs for the artificial intelligence shall include
accurate passenger load from an electronic loadweigher, probable car calls generated
from each hall call, type of building and observed traffic patterns.
Load Weighing Device: Provide a load weighing device on each car which, when the
particular car is filled to an adjustable percentage of the capacity load, shall cause the car to
bypass landing calls but not car calls. The passed landing calls shall remain registered for
the next following car.
1.
The device shall be unaffected by the action of compensating chain or rope. The
device shall detect a 50 pound load change under all conditions.
2.
The load sensor shall use a linear variable differential transformer to accurately
measure the weight in the car. The information shall be transferred via a serial link
to the elevator controller.

Anti-Nuisance Call Control: The microprocessor control system shall evaluate the number
of people on the car and compare that value to the number of car calls registered. If the
number of car calls exceeds the number of people by a field programmable value, the car
calls shall be canceled after the first call has been answered.
Position Selector: The position selector shall be part of the microprocessor system. The car
position in the hoistway shall be digitized through a primary position encoder. The
microprocessor control system shall store the floor position and slow down points in
memory.
Motion Control: The drive control system shall be dual-loop feedback system based
primarily on car position. The velocity profile shall be calculated by the microprocessor
control system producing extremely smooth and accurate stops. The velocity encoder shall
permit continuous comparison of machine speed to velocity profile and to actual car speed.
This accurate position/velocity feedback shall permit a fast and accurate control of
acceleration and retardation.
Motor Pre-Torque: Current shall be applied to the elevator drive before the brake is
released and the speed pattern is dictated to eliminate roll back and sling shot effects of
unbalanced loads in the car. The electronic loadweigher shall determine the load on the car
determining a pre-torque reference to send to the drive.
Emergency Power Operation: (Group 10-D4A) Upon loss of normal power, buildingsupplied standby power is available to the elevator on the same wires as the normal power.
Once the loss of normal power has been detected and standby power is available, one
elevator at a time from each group will be lowered to a pre-designated landing and will
open the doors. After passengers have exited the elevator, the doors are closed and the car
shuts down. The next available car in the group will then be selected to lower, allow
passengers to exit, close the doors and shutdown. This process is repeated until all cars in
the group have been lowered and parked. At this time, an elevator is automatically allowed
to continue service using the building-supplied standby power. A manual selection switch
is available to override the automatic selection and allow and car in the group to provide
service to the building. When normal power is restored, the elevators automatically resume
operation.
Destination Dispatch: Not Applicable.
Automatic Light and Fan shut down: The control system shall evaluate the system activity
and automatically turn off the cab lighting and ventilation fan during periods of inactivity.
The settings shall be field programmable.
Special Operation: Code Blue Operation: Code Blue operation allows authorized personnel
to obtain an elevator during a medical emergency. Each landing shall have a Code Blue
key switch mounted in the Hall Station. The activation of the key switch will select an
elevator. The selected elevator will immediately cancel all car calls and be prevented from
answering normal hall calls. If the selected elevator is traveling away from the Code Blue
floor it shall stop at the next floor and reverse direction. Upon arrival at the Code Blue
floor the elevator shall park with the doors open for an adjustable time or until the elevator
is commandeered from the inside the elevator by use of the Hospital Emergency operations
key switch.
