Moving and renovation

We will be embarking on a major renovation to our HVAC system in the
near future.  It is still unclear whether materials will be moved or
sheltered.  I have limited input as to the timetable (which keeps
changing) but in anticipation of any and all possibilities, I am
interested in information on:

    1.  Preparations for moving archives materials we are talking
        roughly 100,000 cubic feet of mostly boxed paper based
        records (yes,  that is the correct number of zeros)
        distributed over 17 vault floors.  The renovation will be
        phased.

    2. Cleaning storage areas

    a.  preferred industrial strength vacuums
    b.  types of cloths for wiping shelving (e.g.
        electrostatic,cotton rags)
    c.  cleaning solutions

    3.  I am particularly interested in approach and methodology by
        way of written procedures.  Information on the possibilities
        of  linking reappraisal to moving and housekeeping are also
        desirable.

Thank you,
