Attachment B. Price Form (Required).xlsx

This is a price form for a contract opportunity issued by the State Highway Administration (SHA) in Maryland for the installation of a three-zone mini split HVAC system at the Sylmar Satellite Facility located at 909 Telegraph Road, Rising Sun, Maryland 21911. The project involves installing a 42,000 BTU system comprising three zones: 9,000 BTU for the office, 9,000 BTU for the meeting room, and 24,000 BTU for the loader bay, using Mitsubishi HyperHeat M-Series H2i equipment or pre-approved equivalent models. The scope includes removal of an existing through-wall air conditioning unit in the meeting room and preparation of wood and drywall surfaces to close and seal the resulting exterior wall opening. Bidders must be licensed HVAC companies capable of providing three references for ductless mini split installations, with licenses held in the names of both the bidding company and the company performing the work. While electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and may be subcontracted preferably to another small business, bidders are permitted to retain in-house electrical capabilities if available. The bidder is responsible for obtaining electrical permits and incorporating all costs into a single lump sum payment.

The price form requires bidders to submit a unit price in Column C, with the total bid amount calculated automatically in Column D. SHA will issue only one lump sum payment to the bidder, requiring all costs—including HVAC installation, electrical work, permits, surface preparation, and any subcontractor fees—to be factored into the single bid price. This contract is designated as a small business set-aside, meaning subcontracting is normally prohibited; however, electrical work may be subcontracted to another small business with fewer than 100 employees. Bidders are encouraged to conduct site inspections to enhance bid accuracy, and SHA notes that a safety compliance employee may visit the installation to verify OSHA and MOSH compliance and provide feedback. Contact information for scheduling site visits is available through the Cecil County SHA shop at 410-398-1565.
