Interior Photos CEMINI26SB (3).jpeg

This interior photograph document is related to a Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) contract opportunity for a minisplit HVAC system installation at the Sylmar Shop Satellite Facility in Rising Sun, Maryland. The project involves installing a new 42,000 BTU three-zone mini split system comprising 9K, 9K, and 24K zones to condition the office, meeting room, and loader bay respectively. Reference equipment specifications include Mitsubishi HyperHeat M-Series H2i MXZ-SM42NLHZ outdoor condenser and Mitsubishi MSZ-GX indoor units, with allowance for pre-approved substitute models of comparable quality. 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 exterior wall opening. The installation address is 909 Telegraph Road, Rising Sun, Maryland 21911, with inquiries directed to the main Cecil County shop at 410-398-1565. Site inspection photographs have been provided to assist bidders in preparing accurate proposals, though site inspections are not required for bid selection purposes.

Bidders must be licensed HVAC companies capable of providing three references for ductless mini split installations, with licenses held in both the bidding company and the performing company names. While subcontracting is normally prohibited on small business contracts, electrical work may be subcontracted to another small business entity (fewer than 100 employees) or retained in-house if qualified electricians are on staff. SHA will issue a single lump sum payment to the bidder, requiring all electrical costs, permit fees, and associated expenses to be factored into the bid price. The bidder is responsible for pulling electrical permits for quality control purposes. SHA District 2 maintains a safety compliance employee who may conduct site visits to verify OSHA and MOSH compliance and provide feedback; full project details are contained in the Invitation for Bid document.
