Chiller Replacement Roybal Campus

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Office of Acquisition Services is seeking design-build services for the modernization of Building 10, the central plant facility at the CDC Roybal Campus in Atlanta, Georgia. The scope of work encompasses complete design, engineering, management, supervision, labor, materials, equipment, testing, commissioning, training, and closeout services required to replace aging chilled-water plant equipment and upgrade electrical and controls infrastructure. Key contract requirements include replacing four existing 1,450-ton chillers with new 1,800-ton chillers, replacing nine cooling tower cells with eight new cells, replacing primary and condenser-water pumps, and performing associated electrical, building automation systems, structural, fire protection, and ancillary systems work. A critical objective is maintaining campus operations during phased execution, with no more than two chillers permitted to be removed from service simultaneously. The anticipated procurement schedule calls for solicitation release on May 8, 2026, a site visit on May 20, 2026, requests for information due by May 28, 2026, and proposals due on June 15, 2026; specific evaluation criteria will be detailed in the formal solicitation.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, making it available exclusively to qualified small business concerns. No current contractor or incumbent information is identified in the pre-solicitation materials. The contract documents do not specify an award value or budget ceiling at this stage, though the comprehensive scope of work—including equipment replacement, infrastructure upgrades, and phased construction management across a federal campus facility—suggests a substantial procurement. The project timeline requires careful coordination to maintain continuous building operations throughout performance, with the formal solicitation expected to provide detailed specifications, performance standards, and submission instructions for interested contractors.
