This document is a comprehensive set of technical specifications and contract documents for the Orange County Convention Center West Smoke Control Doors Electrical Modifications project in Orlando, Florida. The project involves electrical modifications to smoke control doors, with sealed bids being accepted electronically through the ProcureNow OpenGov e-Procurement Platform until 4:00 pm EST on Tuesday, June 6, 2023. The estimated project cost is $424,500.00. Potential bidders are required to create a free account on the ProcureNow platform to submit their responses, with technical support available via chat, email, and phone. A questions and answer period was open until Wednesday, May 17, 2023, at 5:00 pm EST, during which bidders could seek clarifications about the solicitation.
The technical specifications detail electrical work including low-voltage power conductors, control-voltage electrical power cables, grounding and bonding systems, raceway installations, and electrical system identification. Bidders must comply with NFPA 70 electrical codes and provide detailed documentation including product data, shop drawings, and installation plans. The project requires precise electrical modifications, with specific requirements for conductor types, installation methods, and support systems.

Coordinate construction operations included under different Sections of the Specification that are dependent upon each other for proper installation, connection, and operation.
1. Where installation of one part of the Work is dependent on installation of other components, either before or after its own installation, schedule construction activities in the sequence required to obtain the best results.
2. Where availability of space is limited, coordinate installation of different components to assure maximum accessibility for required maintenance, service and repair.
3. Make adequate provisions to accommodate items scheduled for later installation.
4. Where availability of space is limited, coordinate installation of different components to ensure maximum performance and accessibility for required maintenance, service, and repair of all components, including mechanical and electrical.
