- **Equipment:** Building 88’s schedules call for two 1,000 MBH boilers and two domestic water heaters (listed as 130 MBH in one document; another draft specifies 80-gallon, 130,000 BTU/h units). Building 98 includes contractor-designed boilers, one domestic water heater rated at least 399,000 BTU/h, and four sump pumps. Associated pumps, water treatment, tanks, valves, controls, and temporary service equipment are also specified. Some draft documents differ in equipment details; final requirements are subject to the project specifications and drawings.

- **Notable requirements:** Boiler emissions must meet applicable SMAQMD ultra-low-NOx rules. Design and work must maintain heating and domestic hot-water service to occupied clinics, integrate equipment and alarms with the campus BAS, and include testing, independent TAB, commissioning, and required phasing. Seismic anchorage and applicable code compliance are required. The project documents specify a one-year warranty and seasonal/deferred commissioning during the warranty period; building-envelope work has a minimum two-year warranty in one draft.
- **Performance period:** Approximately 365 calendar days after notice to proceed. A separate specification calls for 12 months of water-softener maintenance.
