The Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management National Office is seeking a small business contractor to replace the HVAC control system at its Northwest Oregon District Office in Salem, Oregon. The project involves replacing the existing outdated Honeywell DDC HVAC control system with a new Johnson Controls Metasys Building Automation System, which requires removing decorative wood ceiling lattice, installing additional VAV terminal units, performing ductboard repairs, and reinstalling suspended ceiling tiles. Key contract requirements include testing and commissioning the new control system, providing staff training, and optimizing energy performance to meet federal sustainable building guidelines. The solicitation (No. 140L0625B0004) requires a mandatory site visit on April 30, 2025, with bid submissions due by May 23, 2025 at 2:00 PM Mountain Time. Contractors must comply with Davis-Bacon wage determinations and provide a 20% bid guarantee.

The contract is a total small business set-aside with a size standard of $19 million, targeting plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors. The project will be performed at the Bureau of Land Management facility located at 1717 Fabry Road SE in Salem, Oregon, a 73,946 square foot, three-story building constructed in 1981. The contract requires performance to begin within 7 calendar days of notice to proceed and completion within 90 calendar days, with contractors required to perform at least 25% of the work using their own employees. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the project involves comprehensive HVAC system improvements, including replacing control valves, actuators, sensors, and installing isolation dampers. The contract includes options for wood ceiling demolition and potential additional work by Johnson Controls, with the primary objective of improving the facility's energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality.
