### Lighting Control Assemblies
|
||||
|
||||
Relevant to [[lighting-controls-takeoff]]:
|
||||
|
||||
Lighting control assembly selection for the project was contentious
|
||||
because PDS excluded the system due to lack of information,
|
||||
but the drawings painted as exact a picture as one could ask for prior to construction.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
In conversation with Joel,
|
||||
we agreed that I would use the "FBO" assemblies
|
||||
with the assumption that an LV system would be budgeted.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!quote] 1990 K Street ConEst OneNote, "Lighting Control"

|
||||
> ---Joel Jansen 2026-02-11 11:05
|
||||
|
||||
After direction I'm not clear on,
|
||||
Joel switched these to the device labor and material assemblies.

### Feeder Schedule 5"C
|
||||
|
||||
Relevant to [[feeders-takeoff]]:
|
||||
|
||||
Feeder schedule calls for 5 inch conduit for certain tags
|
||||
which PDI's schedule uses 4 inch for.
|
||||
I did not respect this in the takeoff,
|
||||
Joel intends to substitute.

**\[2026-03-26 09:36\]**
|
||||
After conversation with Christian,
|
||||
Joel substituted all EMT feeders for MC cable.
|
||||
Christian stated that [[pdi-estimating#Bid Estimating|they]]
|
||||
would qualify the substitution in their next proposal
|
||||
and raised that 5 inch EMT does not exist in our database anyway[^1].
|
||||
|
||||
[^1]: It doesn't exist at all.

## 1990 K Street ConEst Manager Review
|
||||
|
||||
ConEst Manager Review for [[1990-k-street]]
|
||||
lead by Josh Ford and Joel Jansen
|
||||
|
||||
### Purpose of ConEst Manager Review
|
||||
|
||||
Josh explains purpose of this review to PE
|
||||
|
||||
Jobs below 12% margin
|
||||
are reviewed further with Corwin Fluitt
|
||||
who is able and authorized
|
||||
to "make judgement calls" on pricing concerns
|
||||
in order to get GP to an acceptable number.
|
||||
|
||||
PDI MC Cable pricing is market rate,
|
||||
we have vendor specific pricing with Southwire
|
||||
up to 20% lower
|
||||
|
||||
### Switchgear
|
||||
|
||||
Josh will usually not review switchgear takeoff
|
||||
unless there is significant difference from labor plan
|
||||
|
||||
### Primaries & Secondaries
|
||||
|
||||
Where PEPCO is the power utility:
|
||||
typically own nothing for primaries
|
||||
conduit only for secondaries.
|
||||
|
||||
Confirmed for 1990.
|
||||
|
||||
### VE's To Be Incorporated Later
|
||||
|
||||
* Wire feeders ILO busduct
|
||||
|
||||
### Feeders
|
||||
|
||||
Fire pump feeds are not tagged as 2hr rated
|
||||
takeoff assumed 2hr rated MC cable ("Vitalink")
|
||||
to be confirmed with Christian.
|
||||
|
||||
### EV Chargers
|
||||
|
||||
EV Chargers were erroneously placed in `System` "EL - Electrical".
|
||||
|
||||
### Lighting Controls
|
||||
|
||||
Josh was looking for for energy code
|
||||
not present in pre-takeoff email or OneNote.
|
||||
|
||||
ASHRAE 2016
|
||||
|
||||
***
|
||||
|
||||
Follow-up to [[2026-03-26_08-49-49#Lighting Control Assemblies]].
|
||||
|
||||
Josh confirmed the switch to complete-furnish assemblies was appropriate.
|
||||
|
||||
### Labor Plan
|
||||
|
||||
Garage Slab/Deck is $1.30/sf
|
||||
where $1.00/sf was expected.
|
||||
Josh attributes this mainly to the EV chargers and CO system.
|
||||
|
||||
Innerduct: Use 3hrs per Unit.
|
||||
|
||||
### Scratch
|
||||
|
||||
Composite Cleanup is based on 8hrs per week for every 10 crew
|
||||
|
||||
Coordination Study: Expect $15k per $10m of switchgear package
|
||||
|
||||
#### Temporary Lighting
|
||||
|
||||
Temp lighting budget does not include heating
|
||||
or lighting in units ("task lighting")
|
||||
|
||||
#### Rigging
|
||||
|
||||
3rd party rigging quotes are only for special cases.
|
||||
It is expected that the GC's crane
|
||||
can be used to set switchboards and generators.
|
||||
|
||||
On 1990, the GC (Clarke) RFP provides 16 hours crane time.
