The Project consists of the installation of a new computer room air conditioning (CRAC) unit within existing space that is currently two unused offices. In addition, the existing CRAC unit will be relocated to this same room after the new unit is operational. The existing and new CRAC units will alternate operation to provide 100% redundancy. The new CRAC remote condensing unit will be installed adjacent to the existing CRAC condensing unit condensing within the existing screened exterior space west of the building. The scope includes, but is not necessarily limited to, modifications to existing mechanical equipment, new mechanical equipment, associated electrical work, minor selective demolition of existing building components to facilitate the new work, adjustments to existing elevated floor system, adjustments to interior partition walls, hollow metal door/frame work, adjustments to existing suspended ceiling system, and painting. Work on the Project shall commence on November 12, 2024 and shall be substantially complete by June 30, 2025.
