PROJECT REQUIREMENTS:

The turnkey project will be to build two new Colony Houses identical to the two existing houses using the supplied drawings as the design. The only difference between the existing Colony Houses and the drawings is that the existing two Colony Houses have had the roof replaced with standing seam metal roofs as opposed to the asphalt roofing in the design drawings. The two new Colony Houses will have standing seam metal roofs of the same profile and color as the two existing buildings. The two new Colony Houses will be constructed identical to the existing two per the attached design drawings and the existing structures. The HVAC units in the two new Colony Houses shall match the existing AAON* Self Contained HVAC units in Building #1 and Building #2. The new buildings will utilize the existing electrical, water and sanitary utilities/systems on the site. The new buildings will be constructed beside the existing two buildings as shown in the attached photograph and will be connected to the existing concrete paths by extension of the concrete paths to each of the new buildings.

*The HVAC Units must be Energy Star Rated and have high efficiency to comply with Government requirements. The unit(s) to be supplied in the project are AAON units as shown in the site pictures in this SoW. The new unit(s) will be to the exact same, or superior, specifications that meet current Federal Energy Star requirements and the unit(s) to be supplied will be manufactured by AAON (or approved equal or superior brand name manufacturer). Lab preference is for identical units to be installed for ease of maintenance.
