EXHIBIT A - CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS SUMMARY

These are 100% Construction Documents for the Admin Parking Lot Lighting project at the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) Conner Laboratory Complex Administration Building located at 3125 Conner Blvd., Tallahassee, Florida 32399 (FDACS Project No. 1159). The project involves electrical work for parking lot and site lighting improvements, including the installation of a complete electrical system consisting of new LED lighting fixtures, 25-foot steel poles, underground conduit systems, pull boxes, and associated branch circuits and raceways. The work encompasses demolition of existing lighting infrastructure, installation of new LP2 and LP3 series LED area luminaires mounted on poles, and the creation of underground electrical distribution networks using directional boring and trenching methods. The specifications require compliance with the 2020 National Electrical Code, 2023 Florida Building Code (8th Edition), and applicable NFPA standards. All circuit wiring shall utilize #10 conductors in 3/4-inch conduit, with total lighting load calculated at 2,232 watts (8 amperes at 277 volts) after new lights are installed, controlled through an existing mechanical timeclock to remain in service.

The construction documents establish comprehensive electrical installation standards requiring all materials to be new, UL-listed, and of current manufacture. The contractor must furnish all labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals necessary for complete system installation and provide a one-year guarantee on equipment, materials, and labor from final acceptance. Conduit installation must follow rigid specifications with metal conduit for interior and above-grade exterior work and PVC conduit for embedded or below-grade applications. The documents contain detailed specifications for lighting fixture schedules (including Lithonia Lighting D-Series fixtures and HAPCO pole products), grounding requirements with 5/8-inch by 10-foot ground rods installed in each pullbox with maximum 25-ohm resistance, and comprehensive demolition procedures for removing existing post-top lights and associated wiring while maintaining reusable conduit sections. The contractor must comply with all applicable codes, obtain all required permits and inspections, maintain documentation for exterior envelope product approvals per Florida Statutes 533.842, and submit detailed submittals including manufacturers' data sheets, lighting fixture specifications, pole details, and pullbox requirements before procurement or installation.
