TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY at GALVESTON
INFRASTRUCTURE, DOCK IMPROVEMENTS, AND SHIP FF&E – PHASE 1
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Texas A&M University Galveston Campus proposes to complete a $35 million infrastructure improvement project in preparation for the arrival of the National Security Multi-Mission Vessel (NSMV) and upcoming academic buildings. This scope includes the completion of a new Central Utility Plant (CUP) to provide the campus with 1,300-tons of additional cooling capacity and 2,500 mbh of additional heating capacity. This additional thermal generation will supply the chilled/heating hot water for the new NSMV and an additional future academic building. The CUP will be designed to work with the existing plant and will be expandable up to 3,900-ton cooling capacity and 14,000 mbh heating capacity- through the installation of additional chillers and boilers as the campus grows.
In addition to the increased required thermal generation, the new NSMV will require thermal connections and other utility work at the dock. The work identified is the necessary thermal utility runs, electrical duct bank, and data extensions. Additional utility work at the dock includes replacing the domestic water, firewater, and sanitary sewer lines.
The Planning Amount for this project is $35,000,000. The Planning Amount includes an Amount Available for Construction Contract (AACC) of $28,861,395. Fees, furnishings, other work, miscellaneous expenses, and contingencies make up the balance of the Planning Amount.
