HVAC Replacement for SH PP and SC PP

The Bureau of Reclamation seeks installation of three new HVAC units—two for the seventh-floor control room at Shasta Power Plant and one for the computer room at Spring Creek Power Plant—with proposals due July 6, 2026. This is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside under NAICS 238220 with a small-business size standard of $19.0 million.

Place of performance is Shasta Lake City, California (16349 Shasta Dam Boulevard) and Redding, California (11757 Iron Mountain Road). The contractor must begin work within 7 calendar days of notice to proceed and complete all installation within 120 calendar days thereafter. Removal of existing equipment, R454B refrigerant reclamation, and safe material disposal are the contractor's responsibility. The Shasta system provides both heating and cooling through inverters; the Spring Creek system provides cooling only. All new equipment must match existing system types and sizes.

The estimated project cost ranges from $25,000 to $100,000. This is a firm-fixed-price sealed-bid solicitation. Performance and payment bonds are not required, though alternative payment protections under FAR 52.228-13 apply. Prevailing wage determinations under the Davis-Bacon Act apply to this project across 23 California counties per General Decision CA20260007 (effective January 23, 2026).

Evaluation follows lowest-price, technically-acceptable source selection: technical acceptability is pass/fail, past performance is acceptable/neutral/unacceptable, and price reasonableness applies. The government intends to award without discussions but reserves the right to conduct clarifications. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for June 25, 2026, at 10:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time at Shasta Dam Visitor Center parking lot; all attendees must provide advance registration and wear hard hats, safety toe boots, safety glasses, and hearing protection. The question deadline following the site visit is two business days after the visit at 5:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time. Contracting Officer Roxana Ahola administers the award; questions may be directed to Charlesetta Seibure at cseibure@usbr.gov.
