Statement of Work Replace HVAC System Components

Visitor Center – Building 213

Fort San Cristóbal – San Juan National Historic Site

501 Calle Norzagaray

San Juan, Puerto Rico

1. Project Title Replace HVAC System Components – Visitor Center (Building 213)

2. Project Location Fort San Cristóbal San Juan National Historic Site

Visitor Center – Building 213

3. Background The Visitor Center at Building 213 currently operates multiple aging HVAC condensing units that have experienced declining efficiency and reliability. Due to the coastal marine environment, the existing systems are exposed to salt air corrosion, reducing the service life of equipment.

This project replaces the existing condensing units and associated system components with high-efficiency, corrosion-resistant HVAC equipment meeting modern industry standards. The new systems will improve energy efficiency, reliability, and climate control, ensuring continued operation of the visitor facility.

4. Scope of Work The Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, and services necessary to remove existing HVAC equipment and install new high-efficiency HVAC systems at the Visitor Center (Building 213).

All work shall comply with manufacturer specifications, industry standards, and applicable Federal, State, and local codes.

The Contractor shall provide an on-site superintendent or foreman present at all times during active work.
