In datacenter projects, the expected design deliverables may include the following:

1. Facility Layout and Floor Plans: Bidders may be expected to provide facility layout and floor
plans that depict the overall arrangement of the datacenter. This includes the location and sizing
of key components such as server racks, power distribution units (PDUs), cooling systems,
cabling infrastructure, fire suppression systems, and other relevant equipment. The floor plans
should consider factors like space optimization, accessibility, and scalability.

2. Electrical Design: Datacenters require a robust electrical infrastructure to support the power needs
of servers, networking equipment, and other devices. Bidders should provide detailed electrical
designs that specify the power distribution system, including electrical panels, switchgear,
transformers, backup power sources (such as uninterruptible power supply - UPS systems or
generators), and grounding arrangements. The electrical design should address capacity
requirements, redundancy, and energy efficiency.

3. Mechanical Design: The mechanical design focuses on the cooling, ventilation, and
environmental control systems within the datacenter. Bidders should outline the HVAC (heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning) design, including the selection and placement of cooling units,
airflows, temperature and humidity control mechanisms, and monitoring systems. The design
should ensure adequate cooling capacity, energy efficiency, and proper airflow management.

4. Fire Suppression and Security Design: Datacenters require robust fire suppression and security
systems to protect the equipment and data housed within them. Bidders should provide details on
fire detection systems, fire suppression methods (such as gas-based or water-based suppression
systems), access control systems, surveillance systems, and other security measures. The design
should comply with industry standards and address risk mitigation.

5. Network and Cabling Design: Datacenters rely on a complex network infrastructure and cabling
systems to connect servers, switches, routers, and storage devices. Bidders should include a
network design that outlines the network architecture, network equipment placement, cable
routing, and connectivity requirements. The design should consider scalability, redundancy, cable
management, and adherence to industry standards.

6. Rack and Cabinet Layout: Bidders should provide a design for the arrangement of server racks,
cabinets, and equipment within the datacenter. This includes specifying the rack layout, cable
management strategies, power distribution within racks, and any specific requirements for rack
organization and labeling.

7. Compliance and Standards: Datacenters must comply with various regulations and industry
standards. Bidders should address compliance requirements in their design, such as electrical
codes, fire safety regulations, environmental standards (e.g., LEED certification), and data
security standards (e.g., ISO 27001). They should outline how their design meets these standards
and ensure a safe and secure datacenter environment.

The level of detail required for each design aspect may vary depending on the complexity and scale of the
datacenter project. Bidders should provide sufficient information, including technical drawings,
specifications, equipment details, calculations, and any other relevant documentation to demonstrate a
comprehensive and well-thought-out design approach.
