The work entailed is limited to District-directed HVAC construction work in support of HVAC improvements to optimize conditions at School 17 in response to the COVID19 pandemic. All work was be District directed on a time and materials basis or negotiated lump sum fee for specialized sub-contract work.

Bertussi has acceptable history with the District, has demonstrated that they were capable and ready to make such improvements under District terms and conditions as they were on site for CIP 10825 when additional HVAC work was identified as necessary.
The scope of work at School 17 includes but is not limited: demolition, installation of exhaust fans, ductwork and GC related work to restore the building for use. Extensive rush cleanup was required by District to open school.
