Project Manual Summary: Bloomington Police Garage Door and Ventilation Upgrades

This is a project manual for Bid #2027-04 issued by the City of Bloomington, Illinois for the Police Department Garage Door and Ventilation Upgrades at 305 South East Street. The project encompasses the installation of one high-speed roll-up metal door and comprehensive HVAC modifications at the Lower Level 1 of the Bloomington Police Department facility. The scope of work includes selective demolition of existing electrical components, installation of a dedicated outdoor air unit (DOAS) with makeup air capabilities, ductwork installation and insulation, direct-digital control system integration with the building automation system, and associated electrical work including conduit installation, low-voltage conductors and cables, and system identification. The project manual includes detailed specifications across 26 divisions covering structural, mechanical, electrical, and control system requirements. Sealed bids are due Thursday, August 27, 2026, at 11:00 AM CST through the City's e-Procurement Portal (OpenGov). The professional team preparing the specifications includes a licensed architect (John Bishop), mechanical engineer (Dustin Rhoades), electrical engineer (Warren Kohm), and structural engineer (John Paul Goedken), all from Illinois.

The project requires compliance with the City of Bloomington's prevailing wage standards and project labor agreement provisions for public works contracts exceeding $50,000, though union membership is not mandated. The high-speed roll-up door must be rated for a 100 psf wind load with variable opening speeds up to 80 inches per second and closing speeds up to 20 inches per second, featuring wireless failsafe safety edges and a springless operator system. HVAC components must comply with ASHRAE and NFPA standards, with testing, adjusting, and balancing performed by a certified TAB agency (AABC, NEBB, or TABB certified). All electrical work must conform to the National Electrical Code with copper conductors only, proper identification systems, and specified conduit types based on installation location. The project manual establishes rigorous quality assurance requirements, including manufacturer qualifications, installer certifications, mock-up inspections for the metal canopy, and comprehensive startup and demonstration services. Manufacturers are specified for major components with substitution options available through the product requirements section, and extended warranties are required for key equipment including five-year coverage on the door system and outdoor air unit compressor.
