REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS FOR ACTIVITES SELECTED Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee – Westlawn Revitalization – Milwaukee, Wisconsin: First developed in the 1950’s, this 75 acre development on Milwaukee’s northwest side has provided critical affordable housing for the city’s poorest families, providing a mix of 950 housing units for low and moderate income families and seniors. In 2010, the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA) awarded HACM $76 million in Low- Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) to begin redevelopment of the east side of Westlawn. It was the largest LIHTC award in state history. Purchased in 2011 by PNC Bank, the tax credit investment and additional funds made possible the modernization of Wisconsin’s largest and one of Milwaukee’s oldest affordable housing communities. Westlawn Gardens has been recognized as a world model for healthy and sustainable neighborhood design. In 2013, it was certified LEED-ND Stage 3 Silver (v2009), the highest LEED-rated neighborhood in the world at the time. It also received LEED Platinum for Homes certification in 2013, the first such certification in the City of Milwaukee and one of only six such certifications in the State of Wisconsin. The neighborhood has an extensive storm water management system and innovative energy efficiency features, including Milwaukee’s first streetlight system that utilizes LED lighting. Kinnickinnic Transportation Building – Milwaukee County, Wisconsin: The Kinnickinnic Transportation Building existing HVAC system was 31 years old and required constant repair. IBC Engineering Services, Inc. was retained to provide design services to verify existing site conditions, code review for plan compliance with local, state and federal rules and regulation, adherence to sustainable design practices and identifying necessary and/or incidental issues that will mitigate problems and/or risks throughout the course of the project.

Milwaukee Theatre – Milwaukee, Wisconsin: The historic 1909 Milwaukee Auditorium was renamed the Milwaukee Theatre and the project converted an outdated, flat-floored horseshoe shaped arena into a state-of-the-art 4,000 seat theater and concert hall. Bringing the century old building up to today’s building codes, as well as the limitations of the original structural systems in accommodating the necessary mechanical upgrades, proved to be a challenge. A signature feature is the new Grand Entry Court, a half-domed rotunda lobby ringed with three levels of gallery walkways, created from the rear of the original hall’s arched ceiling. Other improvements include expanded “working” spaces, extensive circulation space, an increased number of rest rooms, and complete accessibility throughout. 2021-2022 MASTER ENGINEERING AND RELATED SERVICES CONSULTANT SELECTION
REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS FOR ACTIVITES SELECTED System Highlights included: Very low duct air velocities to ensure minimal air noise, existing chiller plant was completely replaced with two new air-cooled chillers with a total capacity of 640 tons, new highly efficient heating plant converts steam to hot water at a rate of 5,200 lbs./hr., improved stage and house lighting, fiber optic lighting in the grand entry court and three levels of gallery walkways, replacement of piping and plumbing fixtures to ensure extraneous noise does not travel, and upgrade of main utilities to accommodate larger usage demands. Milwaukee VA Hospital Medical Gas Utility Management Plan – Milwaukee, Wisconsin: The Milwaukee VA Medical Center undertook the implementation of a building utility inventory and assessment for the 10 story hospital starting in 2005. The purpose of these projects was to document the various mechanical and electrical services within the hospital to meet regulatory compliance. The second phase of this multi-utility assessment involved documentation and creation of a database and as built drawings of the medical gas piping systems. IBC worked with the VA to gather all known existing medical gas drawings from the original 1964 construction through all renovations completed at the time of this project. A compiled AutoCAD set of as built drawings were prepared from the hard copy as built drawings. A system riser diagram was also created to show an overall diagram of the medical gas system for the hospital. The second major component to this project was the tagging of valves on the drawings and creation of a database that included the valve information such as size, location, system served and rooms or areas affected by shut off of the valve. IBC worked with the VA to develop a valve tagging naming convention based on wing, room, and valve size. The valve tags in the AutoCAD drawings were then linked to a database with additional information about the valve, including a field for a unique bar code identifier for a future valve tagging project. The database link allowed the VA to update either the drawing or the database which in turn update the remaining linked drawing or database. This process assured the VA that both the drawings and the database would be populated simultaneously with any updated data. Milwaukee VA Hospital Water Utility Management Plan – Milwaukee, Wisconsin: The Milwaukee VA Medical Center undertook the implementation of a building utility inventory and assessment for the 10 story hospital starting in 2005. The purpose of these projects was to document the various mechanical and electrical services within the hospital to meet regulatory compliance. The first phase of this multi-utility assessment involved documentation and creation of a database and as-built drawings of the domestic water systems. IBC worked with the VA to gather all known existing plumbing drawings from the original 1964 construction through all renovations completed at the time of this project. IBC then took these drawings and performed a field verification of existing conditions. A compiled AutoCAD set of as-built drawings were prepared from the original drawings and field verification. The second major component to this project was the tagging of valves on the drawings and creation of a database that included the valve information such as size, location, system served and rooms or areas affected by shut off of the valve.
