Subject: Adoption of Plans, Specifications and Contract Documents, Authorization
to Advertise for Construction Bids for the Harding Community Center
Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning Refurbishment Project and
Appropriation of Additional Project Funding
District: 1
Recommended Actions
Adopt a resolution adopting the plans, specifications and contract documents, authorizing the
City Clerk to advertise for construction bids and appropriating additional funds for the Harding
Community Center Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning Refurbishment Project.
Executive Summary
The Harding Community Center Refurbishment Project was initially developed to refurbish
specific aging elements of the facility and to implement various security enhancements. The
project’s scope was expanded in 2024 to include replacement of the Heritage Hall auditorium’s
heating system and installation of a new air conditioning system.
Staff have completed the design work necessary to get the final phase of the project, the
Harding Community Center Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning Refurbishment Project,
ready for bidding, including obtaining an approved building permit that is ready to be issued. The
system being proposed is more energy efficient and will reduce this city facility’s greenhouse gas
emissions.
Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.080(E) requires City Council adoption of plans,
specifications and contract documents for projects when the expected value of work is more
than $220,000. The total estimated construction cost for the project is $630,644, including
contingency, construction management and inspection services, so this project requires City
Council approval.
Staff recommend that the City Council adopt the plans, specifications and contract documents,
authorize the City Clerk to advertise the project for construction bids and appropriate additional
funds in an amount not to exceed $212,000.

Explanation & Analysis
The Harding Community Center, at 3096 Harding St., as shown in Exhibit 2, consists of four
distinct buildings: the Recreation Hall, “D” Building, Administration Building and the
Heritage Hall auditorium.
The 4,872-square-foot Heritage Hall was built in the 1940s. With a seating capacity of 250, the
auditorium is one of the most popular meeting space rental facilities owned by the city.
Staff assessed the auditorium’s condition in 2023 and determined the existing forced-air gas
heaters, believed to be more than 60 years old, were beyond the end of their useful life and
should be replaced.
Community members and city staff have also reported concerns in recent years about the lack of
air conditioning inside the auditorium. Staff recommend replacing the existing gas heaters with a
new energy-efficient combination heat pump heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)
system.
The new system will include:
•Four new outdoor condensing split units with heat pumps for heating and cooling, which
are more compact and energy-efficient than traditional condensing units
•Four new indoor air blower units to distribute air throughout the auditorium
•New and more efficient components for temperature settings
•Insulated ductwork that will replace the existing system ductwork
Replacing the old gas-fueled heaters with electric heat pumps will reduce greenhouse gas
emissions at the facility, in keeping with the city’s Climate Action Plan. (The plan’s Measure E-1
calls for increased use of renewable electricity at municipal facilities.)
Fiscal Analysis
This project, Capital Improvement Program Project No. 4708, is funded from the Infrastructure
Replacement Fund, and an additional appropriation in an amount not to exceed $212,000 from
the Infrastructure Replacement Fund is needed to complete it. Sufficient funds are available in
the Infrastructure Replacement Fund to cover this expense.

Docusign Envelope ID: 914F708F-608E-4D5C-916D-6006BEE20D2B
Next Steps
With the City Council’s adoption of the resolution, the City Clerk will advertise the project for
construction bidding. Staff anticipate returning to the City Council in fall 2025 to request the
award of a construction contract.
Once the new equipment is delivered, construction is expected to take approximately two
months.
Environmental Evaluation
The proposed action for construction to replace the existing gas heaters with a new energy-
efficient combination heat pump HVAC system is categorically exempt from environmental
review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15301 because
it involves the maintenance, repair or minor alteration of existing facilities with negligible or no
expansion of the existing or former use. No exceptions to the categorical exemption as set forth
in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 or Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 19.04.070(C) apply.

1.0 SEQUENCES OF OPERATION
1.1 SEQUENCE OF OPERATION FOR (HARDING CENTER REFURB. HERITAGE HALL HVAC)
1.1.1 ECONOMIZER CONTROLLER (DCV)
ECONOMIZER
ECONOMIZER SHALL CLOSE WHEN FAN IS OFF OR DURING A LOSS OF POWER. DURING OCCUPIED HOURS,
WHEN FAN IS ENERGIZED, THE ECONOMIZER SHALL OPEN TO ADJUSTABLE MINIMUM POSITION. WHEN
OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE IS BELOW SPACE TEMPERATURE AND OCCUPIED SPACE REQUIRES COOLING,
ECONOMIZER SHALL OPEN. IF ECONOMIZER AIR IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO MEET THE DEMAND IN THE
OCCUPIED SPACE, UNIT SHALL ENABLE AVAILABLE COOLING STAGES TO SATISFY DEMAND IN THE
OCCUPIED SPACE.
CO2 CONTROL
UNIT SHALL MONITOR SPACE CO2 WHEN THE SUPPLY FAN IS ENERGIZED. WHEN CO2 IS ABOVE SETPOINT,
ECONOMIZER SHALL MODULATE OPEN TOWARD AN ADJUSTABLE MAXIMUM CO2 POSITION. AS THE CO2
LEVEL IN THE SPACE INCREASES ABOVE THE SETPOINT, THE MINIMUM POSITIONS OF THE DAMPERS WILL
BE INCREASED PROPORTIONALLY, UNTIL THE MAXIMUM VENTILATION SETTING IS REACHED. AS THE
SPACE CO2 LEVEL DECREASES BECAUSE OF THE INCREASE IN FRESH AIR, THE OUTDOOR-DAMPER WILL
FOLLOW THE HIGHER DEMAND CONDITION FROM THE DCV MODE OR FROM THE FREE-COOLING MODE.
1.1.2 UNIT HEATER CONTROLLER (HEATING)
GENERAL
EACH UNIT HEATER SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HEATING THE SPACE TO MAINTAIN SETPOINT
TEMPERATURES.
OCCUPIED MODE
THE RTUC SHALL BE INDEXED TO OCCUPIED BY ANY OF THE FOLLOWING EVENTS:
·A THERMOSTAT ACTIVATES THE UNIT HEATERS INDOOR FAN INPUT POINT.
·A TIMED OVERRIDE MAY BE INITIATED BY THE OPERATOR FROM CENTRAL NETWORK SOFTWARE,
OR BY A ZONE OCCUPANT PUSHING THE OVERRIDE BUTTON ON A ZONE SENSOR. A TIMED
OVERRIDE SHALL EXTEND THE OCCUPIED SCHEDULE FROM 1 TO 4 HOURS (USER ADJUSTABLE).
INDOOR FAN OPERATION
WHEN INDEXED TO OCCUPIED AND IN CALL FOR HEAT, THE UNIT HEATER SHALL START AND RUN THE
INDOOR FAN CONTINUOUSLY. WHEN THE UNIT HEATER HAS BEEN INDEXED TO UNOCCUPIED OR NO COOL
FOR HEAT, THE RTUC SHALL STOP THE INDOOR FAN. THE FAN SHALL BE RESTARTED AND RUN DURING
THE UNOCCUPIED MODE IF:
·THE SPACE TEMPERATURE DRIFTS OUTSIDE THE UNOCCUPIED SETPOINTS.
OCCUPIED HEATING
OCCUPIED HEATING SHALL BE ESTABLISHED IF THE RTUC IS INDEXED TO OCCUPIED, AND THE RETURN
AIR TEMPERATURE IS BELOW THE OCCUPIED HEATING SETPOINT TEMPERATURE. WITH THE INDOOR FAN
RUNNING, THE RTUC SHALL CLOSE THE OUTDOOR DAMPERS TO THE MINIMUM VENTILATION FLOW RATE
OF 20% (ADJUSTABLE), AND STAGE GAS HEAT AS REQUIRED TO BRING THE SPACE TEMPERATURE TO A
SETPOINT OF 68 0F (ADJUSTABLE). MINIMUM ON AND OFF TIMERS SHALL PROTECT THE HEAT FROM
SHORT CYCLING. AS THE HEATING LOAD DECREASES, THE GAS HEAT STAGES SHALL BE DISABLED WHILE
THE INDOOR FAN CONTINUES TO RUN.
1.1.3 VRF FANCOIL INTEGRATION
THE TOSHIBA/ CARRIER VRF FANCOIL UNITS SHALL RUN BASED ON ITS INTERNAL SAFETIES AND
CONTROLS. THE BMS FRONT END SHALL INTEGRATE TO THE VRF SYSTEM IN ORDER TO RUN THE
FOLLOWING SEQUENCE.
INDOOR FAN
DURING OCCUPIED PERIODS, FAN SHALL OPERATE CONTINUOUSLY. DURING UNOCCUPIED PERIODS, FAN
SHALL OPERATE WHEN THE SPACE TEMPERATURE EXCEEDS THE UNOCCUPIED HEATING OR COOLING
SETPOINTS. THE FAN OPERATES AT ONE SPEED ONLY AND PROVIDES ON/OFF OPERATION.
HEATING MODE
WHEN SPACE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW THE OCCUPIED HEATING SETPOINT, UNIT SHALL REQUEST
HEATING FROM THE UNIT HEATERS SERVING THE SPACE.
COOLING MODE
WHEN SPACE TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE OCCUPIED COOLING SETPOINT, UNIT SHALL OPERATE IN THE
COOLING MODE. UNIT SHALL ENABLE AVAILABLE COOLING STAGES TO SATISFY DEMAND IN THE
OCCUPIED SPACE.

SAME DIAMETER. TEST 100-PERCENT OF BOLTS USED FOR STRUCTURAL APPLICATIONS. TEST
50-PERCENT OF BOLTS USED FOR NON-STRUCTURAL APPLICATIONS SUCH AS EQUIPMENT
ANCHORAGE, INCLUDING HALF OF THE BOLTS IN EACH GROUP. TEST 10-PERCENT OF BOLTS
USED FOR SILL-PLATE BOLTING APPLICATIONS.
ALL BOLTS AND ANCHORS (INCLUDING NUTS AND WASHERS) EXPOSED TO WEATHER SHALL
BE STAINLESS STEEL.
THE EMBEDMENT DEPTH OF POST-INSTALLED ANCHORS SPECIFIED IN THE INDIVIDUAL
DRAWING DETAILS SHALL GOVERN OVER THE MINIMUM EMBEDMENTS SHOWN IN THE TABLES
ABOVE. WHERE THE INDIVIDUAL DRAWING DETAIL SPECIFIES A CERTAIN PRODUCT AND THE
CONTRACTOR WISHES TO USE AN ACCEPTABLE ALTERNATIVE PRODUCT, THE EMBEDMENT
DEPTH FOR THAT ALTERNATIVE PRODUCT SHALL BE INCREASED AS REQUIRED BEYOND THE
EMBEDMENT DEPTH SHOWN FOR THE SPECIFIED PRODUCT IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE SAME
CAPACITIES IN SHEAR AND TENSION AS PUBLISHED IN THE ICC-ESR REPORT FOR THE
PRODUCT AND EMBEDMENT DEPTH SPECIFIED IN THE DETAIL. IF THE EMBEDMENT DEPTH OF
THE ALTERNATIVE PRODUCT MUST BE INCREASED TO MATCH THE CAPACITIES OF THE
PRODUCT SPECIFIED IN THE DETAIL, THE LIMITATION ON CONCRETE THICKNESS SPECIFIED IN
THE ICC-ESR REPORT FOR THE ALTERNATIVE PRODUCT MAY NOT BE VIOLATED. THE
EMBEDMENT DEPTH FOR THE ALTERNATIVE PRODUCT MAY NOT BE LESSENED BELOW THE
VALUE SHOWN IN THE DETAIL.

THE OWNER OR OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE SHALL COORDINATE AND CALL FOR A MEETING
BETWEEN THE ENGINEER OR ARCHITECT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE STRUCTURAL DESIGN,
STRUCTURAL OBSERVER, CONTRACTOR, AFFECTED SUBCONTRACTORS AND DEPUTY
INSPECTORS. THE PURPOSE OF THE MEETING SHALL BE TO IDENTIFY THE MAJOR STRUCTURAL
ELEMENTS AND CONNECTIONS THAT AFFECT THE VERTICAL AND LATERAL LOAD SYSTEMS OF THE
STRUCTURE AND TO REVIEW SCHEDULING OF THE REQUIRED OBSERVATIONS. A RECORD OF THE
MEETING SHALL BE INCLUDED IN THE FIRST OBSERVATION REPORT SUBMITTED TO THE BUILDING
INSPECTOR.
THE STRUCTURAL OBSERVER SHALL PERFORM SITE VISITS AT THOSE STEPS IN THE PROGRESS
OF THE WORK THAT ALLOW FOR CORRECTION OF DEFICIENCIES WITHOUT SUBSTANTIAL EFFORT
OR UNCOVERING OF THE WORK INVOLVED. AT A MINIMUM, THE LISTED SIGNIFICANT
CONSTRUCTION STAGES ON THE "STRUCTURAL OBSERVATION/SIGNIFICANT CONSTRUCTION
STAGES" FORM REQUIRE A SITE VISIT AND AN OBSERVATION REPORT FROM THE STRUCTURAL
OBSERVER.
THE STRUCTURAL OBSERVER SHALL PREPARE A REPORT OF THE "STRUCTURAL OBSERVATION
REPORT FORM" FOR EACH SIGNIFICANT STAGE OF CONSTRUCTION OBSERVED. THE ORIGINAL OF
THE STRUCTURAL OBSERVATION REPORT SHALL BE SENT TO THE BUILDING INSPECTOR'S OFFICE
AND SHALL BE SIGNED AND SEALED (WET STAMP) BY THE RESPONSIBLE STRUCTURAL OBSERVER
OF RECORD. ONE COPY OF THE OBSERVATION REPORT SHALL BE ATTACHED TO THE APPROVED
PLANS. THE COPY ATTACHED TO THE PLANS SHALL BE SIGNED AND SEALED (WET STAMP) BY THE
RESPONSIBLE STRUCTURAL OBSERVER OR THEIR DESIGNEE. COPIES OF THE REPORT SHALL
ALSO BE GIVEN TO THE OWNER, CONTRACTOR, AND DEPUTY INSPECTOR. ANY DEFICIENCY
NOTED ON THE OBSERVATION REPORT WILL BECOME THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STRUCTURAL
ENGINEER OR ARCHITECT OF RECORD TO VERIFY ITS COMPLETION BY THE STRUCTURAL
OBSERVER.
A FINAL OBSERVATION REPORT MUST BE SUBMITTED WHICH SHOWS THAT ALL OBSERVED
DEFICIENCIES WERE RESOLVED AND STRUCTURAL SYSTEM GENERALLY CONFORMS WITH THE
APPROVED PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS. THE CITY OF CARLSBAD DEPARTMENT OF
BUILDING SAFETY WILL NOT ACCEPT THE STRUCTURAL WORK WITHOUT THE FINAL OBSERVATION
REPORT AND THE CORRECTION OF SPECIFIC DEFICIENCIES NOTED DURING NORMAL BUILDING
INSPECTION.

Carlsbad Harding Center
1. Concrete shall be placed only under direct observation of the project inspector. Do not
place concrete outside of regular working hours unless the project inspector has been
notified at least 48 hours in advance.
2. Concrete shall be conveyed from mixer to location of final placement by methods which
will prevent separation or loss of materials.
3. Concrete shall be placed as nearly as practicable to its final position to avoid segregation
due to re-handling or flowing. No concrete that has partially hydrated or has been
contaminated by foreign materials shall be placed, nor shall re-tempered concrete or
concrete which has been remixed after initial set be placed.
4. In placing concrete in columns, walls or thin sections, provide openings in forms,
elephant trunks, tremies or other recognized devices, to prevent segregation and
accumulation of partially hydrated concrete on forms or metal reinforcement above level
of concrete being placed. Such devices shall be installed so that concrete will be dropped
vertically. Unconfined vertical drop of concrete from end of such devices to final
placement surface shall not exceed 6 feet.
5. Concrete shall be placed as a continuous operation until placing of panel or section is
completed. Top surfaces of vertically formed lifts shall be level unless noted otherwise

6 Warnings
• The anchor design methods in PROFIS Engineering require rigid anchor plates per current regulations (AS 5216:2021, ETAG 001/Annex C,
EOTA TR029 etc.). This means load re-distribution on the anchors due to elastic deformations of the anchor plate are not considered - the
anchor plate is assumed to be sufficiently stiff, in order not to be deformed when subjected to the design loading. PROFIS Engineering calculates
the minimum required anchor plate thickness with CBFEM to limit the stress of the anchor plate based on the assumptions explained above. The
proof if the rigid anchor plate assumption is valid is not carried out by PROFIS Engineering. Input data and results must be checked for
agreement with the existing conditions and for plausibility!
• Condition A applies where the potential concrete failure surfaces are crossed by supplementary reinforcement proportioned to tie the potential
concrete failure prism into the structural member. Condition B applies where such supplementary reinforcement is not provided, or where pullout
or pryout strength governs.
• Refer to the manufacturer's product literature for cleaning and installation instructions.
• For additional information about ACI 318 strength design provisions, please go to https://submittals.us.hilti.com/PROFISAnchorDesignGuide/
• "An anchor design approach for structures assigned to Seismic Design Category C, D, E or F is given in ACI 318-19, Chapter 17, Section
17.10.5.3 (a) that requires the governing design strength of an anchor or group of anchors be limited by ductile steel failure. If this is NOT the
case, the connection design (tension) shall satisfy the provisions of Section 17.10.5.3 (b), Section 17.10.5.3 (c), or Section 17.10.5.3 (d). The
connection design (shear) shall satisfy the provisions of Section 17.10.6.3 (a), Section 17.10.6.3 (b), or Section 17.10.6.3 (c)."
• Section 17.10.5.3 (b) / Section 17.10.6.3 (a) require the attachment the anchors are connecting to the structure be designed to undergo ductile
yielding at a load level corresponding to anchor forces no greater than the controlling design strength. Section 17.10.5.3 (c) / Section 17.10.6.3
(b) waive the ductility requirements and require the anchors to be designed for the maximum tension / shear that can be transmitted to the
anchors by a non-yielding attachment. Section 17.10.5.3 (d) / Section 17.10.6.3 (c) waive the ductility requirements and require the design
strength of the anchors to equal or exceed the maximum tension / shear obtained from design load combinations that include E, with E increased
by w0.
• Hilti post-installed anchors shall be installed in accordance with the Hilti Manufacturer's Printed Installation Instructions (MPII). Reference ACI
318-19, Section 26.7.
Fastening meets the design criteria!
