Section 01010 - Summary of Work
The approximately 100-year-old theatre building currently has interior historic and other interior
lighting features within its historic lobbies and audience chamber that require upgrades to current
lighting efficiency and manufacturing requirements. The more than 135 different types of historic
light fixtures, light coves, illuminated seat end panels and some newer fixtures were installed as
part of the facility's renovation in 1999-2000. Fixtures and lamps from the original construction
and renovation were incandescent and/or halogen. The dimming system installed at the time of the
renovation is and currently remains technology intended for dimming/fading incandescent lamps, not
more contemporary dimming/fading of "driver" controlling LED's. To keep up with currently available
lighting lamps/fixtures, the dimming system will, over time/phases require upgrades to/replacement
of electronic processing and dimming modules that are compatible with LED's. The Architectural
Control Module adjacent to the House Dimming rack is not to have any reprogramming as a result
of this project. However, the Architectural Control Module is 26 years old and could fail at any
time for unknown or other reasons out of the control of contractors, manufacturers, theater
operators or facility owner. It is recommended that the programmed preset dimming curves for
each of the three wall mounted control stations is documented such that these presets/dimming
curves may be programmed into a replacement control module when the current module fails or is
otherwise replaced. This project is intended to be the first phase of that transition - which includes
documentation of existing fixtures, lamps and dimming module circuits/fixture connections. While
original renovation construction document electrical drawings indicate locations of fixtures and
dimming rack, they do not indicate current lamping by fixture, the lumen level of those current
lamps, nor which fixtures/lighting features each dimming module is connected to.
The project includes documentation of all fixtures/lamps in the historic lobbies and audience
chamber, select re-lamping of lighting features associated with Means of Egress (MoE) lighting,
replacement of fixtures associated with MoE lighting, and/or difficult to reach/access fixtures or
lamps. The project also includes some Alternate bids for some historic lobby and audience chamber
lighting features specific to this historic atmospheric theater.
Section 01030 - Bid summary list
Base Bid: Research and document existing conditions associated with lighting in historic lobbies and
audience chamber including control location/dimmer module number, current lamping
(shape/type/wattage), current lumen output per lamp/fixture, and current lamp color/color
temperature. Replace select fixtures/lighting features associated with MoE lighting, and re-lamp
