The Government's preferred location for the outdoor condensing unit(s) is at grade on a ground-mounted equipment pad adjacent to the building. The contractor shall field verify the final location and routing of refrigerant lines, electrical, and condensate in accordance with the contract documents, manufacturer's requirements, and applicable codes. Roof-mounted installation is not the Government's preferred approach and is not anticipated under this project.
