23SE-Southeast Regional Office HVAC system

The Pennsylvania Game Commission is soliciting electronic bids for a comprehensive HVAC system replacement project at its Southeast Regional Office located in Maidencreek Township, Berks County. The procurement involves removing five existing gas/electric rooftop HVAC units and two condenser units, and installing six new gas/electric rooftop HVAC units and two new split system HVAC units. Specific deliverables include electrical upgrades, ductwork reconnection, gas line modifications, and condensate drainage installation. Bidders are required to have demonstrated experience and capability to perform the work, with mandatory site visits to understand project conditions. The bid was electronically posted on February 16, 2021, with a firm bid submission deadline of March 16, 2021, at 2:00 PM. Evaluation criteria will focus on selecting the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with the Commonwealth reserving the right to reject any or all bids. The project has been permitted as a Level 1 Alteration under the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code and must comply with environmental refrigerant protocols.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. However, all vendors must have a vendor number assigned by the Pennsylvania Game Commission to be eligible for award. The contract term extends until June 30, 2021, and requires performance and payment bonds. Prevailing wage regulations will apply, and contractors must comply with the Reciprocal Limitations Act requirements. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the project involves replacing multiple HVAC units with Lennox models (or approved equals), and includes comprehensive warranties: one-year complete unit warranty, five-year compressor warranty, and ten-year heat exchanger warranty. Bidders will be expected to provide a complete unit replacement with all associated incidentals, including supplemental components like gas furnaces and A-coils. The successful vendor will receive a purchase order, and no work will be authorized until the purchase order is received.
