The Project scope of work is focused on the design of the geothermal borehole arrays, piping and pumping stations to distribute thermal energy to the connected buildings, and service lines including energy transfer stations (ETS) as the isolating point of demarcation. The design of the connected building’s mechanical systems (i.e., the building side of the ETS,heat pumps, etc.) are not included in this RFP scope. Consequently, firms submitting proposals will need to include energy modeling for the Union Station and the first three planned phases of the adjacent ECC multifamily development (the “Union Square Development”), which totals approximately 1,000 housing units. These first three phases of the Union Square Development account for nearly 1.1 million square feet of new construction with a mix of uses and housing unit types including studios, one- and two-bedroom units. The design and construction of the Union Square Development, including the mechanical systems, will be undertaken by ECC...
