This document is a Specification for a Repair Cooler project at the Federal Correctional Institution in Marion, Illinois, dated January 16, 2025. The scope of work involves removing and disposing of the existing outdoor condenser unit assembly and indoor evaporator assembly, followed by supplying and installing new equipment. Specifically, the contractor must remove all line sets and electrical services, properly dispose of existing materials, and pump down and dispose of refrigerant according to EPA/DOT guidelines.

The new installation requires a 4.5-ton minimum efficiency outdoor condenser unit with insulated copper refrigerant lines, a new 208V 3-phase electrical disconnect, and a 3-fan evaporator with digital electronic thermostat, timers, and thermal expansion valve. The contractor must solder all line sets, pressure check and evacuate non-condensable systems, and seal all wall penetrations to prevent outside air infiltration. The project is for the U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP), located at 4500 Prison Road in Marion, IL, with work to be completed under strict security and safety protocols specific to a correctional facility environment.
