This project is classified under NAICS Code 238220 and has a size standard of $19 Million. The Magnitude of Construction for this project is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. Scope of Work: The scope of work shall generally consist of, but not limited to the following: The project involves upgrading the Hot Water Heater system (specifically Buildings 3, 7, 53, 54, and 143 and their associated mechanical and utility spaces).

Replacing these units will significantly reduce maintenance time, improve system control and enhance the distribution of hot water across rooms, floors, and departments. The contractor shall completely prepare site for building operations, including demolishing selected existing water heaters, recirculation pumps, and associated steam, condensate, and domestic water piping and furnish and install new semi-instantaneous steam to hot water heaters, recirculation pumps, condensate receiver/pump, piping, insulation, electrical feeders, disconnects, and controls as indicated in the 100% construction documents.
