Scope of Work
The primary objective is to furnish all equipment, labor, supervision, and materials to replace existing AHUs and VAV units at Foster Manor, B6965, and integrate them into a new DDC package. This includes detailed technical specifications for ductwork, insulation, and DDC systems, with a preference for Metasys or Desigo controls due to existing base infrastructure.
