C. Heating systems use oil fuel with two external tanks. One oil tank serves the office and the warehouse and the other serves the bunkhouse boiler. There are no oil leaks.

D. Single pipe hot water heating system in the Office Building is inefficient; it overheats the upper floor and provides uneven heating for the lower floor.

E. Buildings do not have redundant heating sources.

F. Office Building overheats in the summer.

G. Heating systems in all three buildings are at the end of their operational life and require new high efficiency systems.

1.04 PROJECT SCOPE BASE BID
