Description
This solicitation is for upgrading the HVAC system at Torres Elementary School. The project scope includes removing 29 existing evaporative coolers along with associated exhaust fans and ductwork, and installing new direct expansion (DX) package rooftop units (RTUs) with new ductwork to serve existing areas. The work also involves expanding the existing natural gas heating system to serve the new RTUs, adding approximately three electrical panels to support the new equipment, and removing and reinstalling a fire barrier below the roof decking as required. The project aims to provide superior comfort, consistent cooling, improved air quality, and lower maintenance with refrigerated air systems that offer precise temperature control and better humidity handling.
