Please clarify what work reflected in final drawings the contractor is responsible for. The drawings included are for a major hvac renovation, but sow reflects only replacement chiller, pumps, piping, and controls integration.

Only the areas called out in the SOW for the Chiller pumps piping and controls integration are included in this project. The original project scope was a complete system replacement but the Chiller is failing and we cannot wait.

Temporary cooling is required per sow. The SOW states the building shall maintain 76 degrees. Does the ANG expect the entire building to remain 76, or some primary areas?

The same areas that are currently cooled need to remain at the stated temperature. Temp cooling should be a direct replacement
