The B825 Chiller and Boiler Install Project Statement of Work outlines the comprehensive plan to replace chillers and a boiler at building 825. The replacement will utilize government-furnished chillers, requiring only material submittals for approval, preceding procurement. Key tasks include measuring existing chilled water flow rates, modifying concrete pads, integrating controls into existing systems, and ensuring continued heating and cooling for critical facilities during installation. The project delineates specific demolition and installation requirements for both chillers and boilers, including connection of new piping, installation of pumps, and adherence to various safety and construction standards. The contractor is responsible for waste management in compliance with environmental regulations, maintaining operational safety, and providing a warranty of at least one year against defects. The total estimated project duration is 126 calendar days, including a pre-construction meeting and submission of progress reports. This document serves as a foundation for potential contractors to understand the obligations and expectations tied to this significant infrastructure upgrade initiative at Shaw Air Force Base.
