ADDENDUM NO. ONE (1)
CITY OF OCOEE

Addendum 01 – RFP 26-008 HVAC Maintenance Term Contract
Q6. Regarding HVAC Equipment, “Check refrigerant level and add refrigerant to AC &
Heating units as necessary,” Is there a limit to how much refrigerant can be added at one
time? Should the price be figured upfront? Or if refrigerant needs to be added, would that
be a separate service ticket to be turned in.
A6. If low refrigerant is discovered, contractor should NOT add refrigerant to the unit
without prior approval. Rather Contractor must immediately contact the Public
Works Facility Manager or his designee to discuss the issue how the contractor is
to proceed. Any repairs not covered under maintenance would be a separate
service ticket which require prior approval from the Public Works Facility Manager
or his designee prior to the start of work.
