The chiller refrigeration capacity shall be sized appropriately for specified rink dimensions and ambient operating temperatures. The proposed refrigerant must be compliant with EPA and local environmental standards. 3) Resurfacing Equipment to maintain the rink. 4) Electrical Requirements: The ice rink must include weather-resistant power distribution panels and cable covers. 5) Drainage: The Contractor shall provide a drainage plan or system to manage meltwater upon shutdown. 6) Dasher boards: The dasher boards must be modular, durable, and capable of withstanding continuous use in a public skating environment.

The Contractor shall supply modular sheet flooring system designed as the base layer beneath a real ice surface in a temporary ice skating rink. The flooring must support the weight of the ice slab, dasher boards, skaters, and equipment (e.g., ice resurfacing machines), while also ensuring energy efficiency, levelness, and long-term durability. The surface must be non- slip when wet or exposed to condensation, and be resistant to mold, mildew and warping. Flooring must be compatible with chiller piping systems for ice refrigeration. The edges must be flush and locked to prevent tripping hazards. The sheet flooring must allow for easy disassembly and reuse. B.
