The project scope includes removal and disposal of an existing 30-year-old hot water boiler and dual-fuel oil storage tank, installation of a new gas-fired boiler system with 400,000 BTU/hr capacity, plumbing and gas connections, air intake and exhaust modifications with exterior stainless steel components, creation of a separate heating zone for office areas and bathrooms, and electrical grounding. A mandatory on-site visit was scheduled for October 20, 2009 at 11:00 a.m., with sealed bids or electronic responses due October 26, 2009. All work must be completed within 30 days of award and must comply with current State of Maine and Federal codes.
