This is a Project Manual for HVAC improvements at Rhode Island College's Murray Center, prepared by RGB Architects for the State of Rhode Island Board of Education. The project involves the addition of air conditioning to the gymnasium at 600 Mount Pleasant Avenue, Providence, RI, including the installation of two new air handling units, replacement of existing HVAC equipment (units #2-1 and #2-2), new insulated ductwork, two 80-ton air-cooled condensers with aluminum enclosure screening, and associated piping, electrical, and controls integration. The work encompasses both exterior work (concrete pad and condenser installation) and interior modifications to existing systems. Three addenda have been issued as of the publication date of March 2026, with bid due dates revised to May 26, 2026, and subsequent contract start date targeted for June 23, 2026. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting was scheduled for September 17, 2026. The project includes specific liquidated damages provisions and establishes a critical path schedule with final completion targeted for June 7, 2027, with interior gym work allocated for a six-week window from April 19, 2027 to May 28, 2027.

The contract is structured as a single prime contract based on stipulated price under AIA Document A101-2017, as amended by the State of Rhode Island. The General Conditions follow AIA Document A201-2007, as amended by the state. The contract requires prevailing wage compliance in accordance with Rhode Island Department of Labor rates updated July 1 annually. Performance and payment bonds are required per AIA A312 documents. The Contractor must provide schedule of values, monthly applications for payment on AIA G702/G703 forms, certified payroll records, and lien waivers. A testing and inspection allowance is included, with regular testing costs incorporated into the base bid and additional testing covered by separate allowance. The project requires coordination with an occupied facility, with strict working hour restrictions (7:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Friday as regular hours, with off-hours work permitted only with advance coordination). The Contractor is responsible for all permits, licensing fees, temporary facilities, waste management, and site restoration, with costs of coordination and any premium time wages included in the base bid price.
