About this file
This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines a project for the U.S. Embassy in Singapore to upgrade the electrical infrastructure and cooling system in the server room at 27 Napier Road. The project consists of two primary parts: (1) upgrading the electrical power distribution system and (2) replacing the existing package unit air conditioning system.
The electrical infrastructure upgrade involves installing a new 100A Square D Molded Case Circuit Breaker, galvanized steel trunking, 100A XLPE/PVC cabling, and a 100A metal-clad isolator. The cooling system replacement includes a Stulz CyberAir Precision Cooling CRAC Unit (Model: ASD 472 ACW), featuring a 9 kW electrical reheat system, BMS contacts for common and water alarms, fire and smoke detectors, and water detection capabilities. The project requires a Licensed Electrical Worker to inspect and test the installation, with a maintenance period of one year. The total work is estimated to be completed within 4 weeks, with quarterly comprehensive maintenance during the Defects Liability Period.
