This is an interior photograph related to a Minisplit HVAC installation project at the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) Sylmar Satellite Facility located at 909 Telegraph Road, Rising Sun, MD 21911. The project involves the installation of a new 42,000 BTU three-zone mini split system with capacity of 9K, 9K, and 24K BTU units serving the office, meeting room, and loader bay respectively. The reference equipment specified includes Mitsubishi HyperHeat M-Series H2i MXZ-SM42NLHZ outdoor condenser units and Mitsubishi MSZ-GX indoor units, though substitute models and brands of comparable quality may be approved in advance by SHA. The scope includes removal of an existing through-wall air conditioning unit from the meeting room and preparation of wood and drywall surfaces to close and seal the resulting exterior wall opening. Bidders may schedule site inspections by contacting the main Cecil County shop at 410-398-1565 to view the project location, which may facilitate more accurate bidding.

The bidder must be a licensed HVAC company with at least three references demonstrating experience with ductless mini split installations, with the license held in the name of both the bidding company and the company performing the work. All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician, with bidders having the option to subcontract this portion preferably to another small business with fewer than 100 employees, or retain the work in-house if staff electricians are available. The bidder is responsible for obtaining all electrical permits and factoring permit costs into a single lump sum bid payment from SHA. SHA Division 2 maintains a safety compliance employee who may visit the installation to verify OSHA and Maryland Occupational Safety and Health (MOSH) compliance and provide feedback on safety improvements.
