The U.S. Embassy in Tallinn, Estonia, has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the replacement of the Chancery non-CAA space cooling system, encapsulated in document number 19EN1025Q0127. A site visit prompted clarification on several key points: the project's focus is on replacing the current chiller, adhering to specified noise levels, and maintaining existing wiring where feasible, while only thermostat cables will be replaced. The contractor is not responsible for relocating other cabling or fireproofing, but must seal any wall penetrations created by the installation. Materials must be stored onsite in segmental workspaces, as no dedicated storage area within the embassy is available. While the contractor can utilize a crane for operations, each project stage will require coordination with embassy officials. The completion timeline has been adjusted, proposing a 120-day window for project completion. Additionally, the embassy has set strict requirements regarding any structural alterations and insists that any removed ceiling tiles be reinstalled daily. The project must comply with existing electrical requirements without necessitating upgrades to current systems. Overall, this RFQ emphasizes clear contractor responsibilities, adherence to existing infrastructure, and maintains a structured approach to project execution within the embassy.
