Scope of Work
1. Background
The City of Garden City is seeking proposals from qualified refrigeration contractors to
supply and install a new Bitzer CSH 7563 compressor for the refrigeration system at the
Garden City Ice Arena.
At the conclusion of the previous ice season, the arena experienced a catastrophic failure of
its primary compressor. To complete the remainder of the season, operations were
transitioned to a backup compressor on an emergency basis. The failed compressor has since
been removed from the ice plant, and the City is now seeking a qualified vendor to furnish
and install a replacement compressor to restore the refrigeration system to full operating
capacity.
The Garden City Ice Arena is located within Garden City Park at the corner of Cherry Hill
Road and Merriman Road in Garden City, Michigan. The arena operates on a seasonal
schedule, with the ice season typically running from the beginning of August through the end
of May each year.
The existing refrigeration package was purchased and installed in 2018 and remains in
service. The selected contractor will be responsible for supplying a new Bitzer CSH 7563
compressor (or an approved equivalent if specified by the City), completing the installation,
performing all necessary startup and testing, and ensuring the refrigeration system is fully
operational and ready for the upcoming ice season. The selected contractor shall provide all
labor, materials, equipment, and incidental components necessary to complete the installation
in accordance with manufacturer specifications and industry standards.
2. Scope of Services
The work involved in the Project shall include all labor, materials, equipment, and tools
required to complete the following:

oil, refrigerant (if required), and any additional materials necessary for a complete
installation.
Installation

Connect all refrigerant, oil, electrical, and control systems required for proper operation.
Perform all piping modifications, electrical connections, and system adjustments
necessary to accommodate the new compressor.
Replace any seals, gaskets, or components disturbed during installation.
Startup and Commissioning
Evacuate, recharge, and test the refrigeration system as required.
Verify proper oil levels, pressures, temperatures, and system operation.
Perform startup procedures in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Balance and adjust the refrigeration system as necessary to ensure proper performance.
Conduct operational testing to verify the compressor is functioning properly under
normal operating conditions.
Disposal
Properly remove and dispose of all installation debris and any materials generated during
the project.
The failed compressor has already been removed from the refrigeration package.

Manufacturer warranty documentation.
