About this file

This is a bid cover sheet for Eastern Connecticut State University's J. E. Smith Library Chiller Replacement project. The project involves removal and replacement of roofing, roof drainage systems, structural steel support framing, and rooftop-mounted air-cooled chillers at the university's Willimantic campus. The scope includes demolition of two existing 200-ton air-cooled chillers, removal of structural steel dunnage framing, and installation of new MULTISTACK Model ACF240MNHCE 225-ton air-cooled chillers with associated hydronic equipment, controls, and electrical/plumbing work. Bids were due on August 4, 2026, with construction to begin on or before September 23, 2026, and substantial completion required by May 1, 2027—a 227-calendar-day project duration. Bidders must pre-qualify under Connecticut General Statutes Section 4a-100 in General Building Construction, Mechanical (HVAC), and Structural Steel contractor classifications, and all contractors and subcontractors must maintain current appropriate licenses and certifications.

The estimated contract value does not exceed $3 million and is structured as a lump-sum base bid with liquidated damages of $300 per calendar day for schedule delays. A 25% Connecticut Registered Small Business Set-Aside subcontractor participation requirement applies, of which 25% must be woman or minority-owned. Bidders must submit a 10% bid bond or certified check and maintain bid prices firm for 60 days; performance and labor/materials payment bonds, each equal to 100% of the total bid price, are required within ten days of award. Contractors must perform not less than 30% of the work with their own forces and comply with prevailing wage requirements under Connecticut General Statutes Section 31-53. All work must comply with the 2022 Connecticut State Building Code, AISC 360-16 structural standards, and ASME pressure vessel codes. Bids are submitted electronically through the Eastern Bid Portal, with written questions due prior to the portal-specified deadline and responses distributed via addendum.
