Project No. 0401-0016 - CT transit Hartford Roof Replacement & Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Upgrade
The proposed improvements will repair 230,000 SF of the approximate 350,000 SF roof at the CT transit Hartford Building. The existing rooftop HVAC mechanical equipment is beyond its useful life and many parts are not operational due to the age of the equipment and difficulty finding replacement parts. Possible extensive structural repairs are required, the roof has exceeded its useful life including several short-term repairs that are currently leaking. The facility supports 24/7 operations and will therefore require careful staging and swing space for critical administrative functions.

Advertisement dates are forthcoming.
