Posh Pets HVAC Upgrade RFI # 1 2026-07-08.pdf

This is a Request for Information (RFI) response document issued by the City of Long Beach Department of Public Works regarding an HVAC upgrade project at Posh Pets, located at 770 Park Place in Long Beach, New York. The project involves furnishing and installing new air conditioning systems in their entirety, with a second phase dedicated to removing existing split units as shown on demolition drawings. The RFI clarifies that contrary to Plan M-601 RTU Note 4 and Specification Section 23 74 13, there is no existing Building Management System (BMS) or centralized building automation/control system at the facility. Consequently, bidders are instructed to disregard BMS integration requirements and instead provide each rooftop unit equipped with the manufacturer's factory controls and a standalone programmable electronic thermostat with Wi-Fi capability, such as a Venstar unit or approved equivalent, allowing for local operation and remote monitoring through a mobile application.

The project establishes a 20.00% Minority/Women Business Enterprise (MWBE) contracting goal for the procurement. Premier Mechanical and Carrier were previously awarded identical or substantially similar contracts within the past five years. Bidders must furnish and install all necessary control wiring, relays, sensors, interfaces, and accessories to create a complete and fully operational standalone control system, with no BMS integration required.
