About this file

This is a Project Manual for the Mariposa LRF Data Center In-Row Cooling Project, prepared by HDR Inc. Engineering for the Regional Transportation District (RTD) in Denver, Colorado. The project involves cooling system upgrades at the Mariposa Light Rail Facility (LRF) Data Center, with a specific focus on implementing in-row cooling solutions. The document is a comprehensive construction manual containing detailed specifications across multiple divisions, including HVAC, electrical, and demolition work. The project number is 10384189, and the manual is dated 11/25/2024, indicating it is a 100% complete construction document set.

The project appears to be part of a broader HVAC replacement initiative across RTD facilities, with a 15% Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal. The manual provides extensive technical details on substitution procedures, product requirements, coordination protocols, and specific technical specifications for mechanical and electrical systems. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the document suggests a structured approach to project implementation, including provisions for product substitutions, submittal processes, and comprehensive technical requirements for the data center cooling upgrade.
