Bid Notice-Parkrose School District CM GC Russell Elementary School _ Shaver Elementary School Geothermal.pdf

This is a bid notice issued by Parkrose School District in Oregon for a construction management/general contracting (CM/GC) project involving geothermal heating system conversions at Russell Elementary School and Shaver Elementary School. The project scope includes converting existing gas-fired boiler and ventilation systems to geothermal ground-source heat pump systems with closed-loop vertical geothermal wellfields at both sites, installation of distributed water-source heat pump and ambient loop systems, ventilation upgrades including conversion of existing below-slab air tunnels at Shaver Elementary School for dedicated outdoor air and relief, related electrical service and controls work, and commissioning. Both buildings will remain occupied during the school year, requiring coordination with operational school schedules. The notice specifies the bidding process, evaluation criteria, and submission requirements for interested contractors seeking to provide construction management and general contracting services.

The bid notice establishes the framework for selecting a qualified CM/GC contractor to manage and execute this energy efficiency and infrastructure improvement project. Specific pricing terms, contract value, funding sources, and set-asides are to be determined through the formal RFP process. The project represents a significant investment in upgrading the district's HVAC infrastructure to improve energy efficiency and reduce operational costs through renewable geothermal technology implementation. Prospective bidders should anticipate coordination challenges related to maintaining operations at occupied school facilities throughout the construction period.
