00515 NEW 2 TON RTUBid Documents

The State of Indiana, specifically through Correctional Industries (ICI) in Hendricks County, is seeking a procurement for a replacement rooftop unit (RTU) at the Plainfield Correctional Facility's Commissary Warehouse & Distribution Center. The solicitation (Number 84783) requires supplying and installing a new 2-ton RTU to replace an existing 20+ year old 1.5-ton unit located at 757 Moon Road in Plainfield. The procurement involves a comprehensive replacement project that includes removing the old unit using a crane, connecting to existing gas and electric services, and conducting operational testing. The new RTU must be an American Standard or equivalent unit with specific technical requirements, including horizontal airflow, UL certification, outdoor installation capabilities, a hermetically sealed scroll compressor, aluminum micro channel evaporator coil, and a gas-fired heating section with electric ignition. The unit must operate in ambient temperatures up to 115F and meet AHRI cooling performance standards. The quotation response is due by 12:30 PM on August 26, 2025, with the event start date of July 22, 2025.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations are explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The solicitation indicates that bidders are not required to be pre-registered with the Procurement Division to respond, and responses greater than $75,000 require a manual signature. While no specific budget range is provided, the document suggests the project involves a significant mechanical infrastructure replacement with detailed technical specifications. The procurement appears focused on obtaining a reliable replacement HVAC unit that can consistently operate without frequent repairs. The project is located within the Hendricks County jurisdiction and is specifically for the Indiana Correctional Industries Commissary Warehouse, suggesting this is a targeted facility improvement initiative. The lack of incumbent vendor information and specific budget constraints implies an open competitive procurement process for qualified HVAC equipment and installation providers.
