5-Site Mechanical Repairs and Controls Replacement -multiple buildings

The Centennial School District is soliciting bids for a comprehensive 5-Site Mechanical Repairs and Controls Replacement project covering five school facilities located in Multnomah County and the City of Portland, Oregon. The project encompasses mechanical system repairs and controls replacement at Butler Creek Elementary, Harold Oliver Elementary, Pleasant Valley Elementary, Centennial Middle School, and Centennial High School. Contractors will be responsible for furnishing and installing new mechanical equipment, HVAC systems, rooftop units, and integrated control systems, with a focus on compliance with seismic design criteria and the 2018 International Building Code. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference was held on May 5, 2022, and sealed bids are due on May 25, 2022, at 2:00 PM. The contract is anticipated to be awarded on June 8, 2022, with a Notice to Proceed on June 9, 2022, and substantial completion required by October 31, 2022. Bidders must be registered with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board and comply with prevailing wage rate requirements under Oregon law and the federal Davis-Bacon Act.

Contractors must provide payment and performance bonds and demonstrate compliance with all statutory requirements. While no specific set-aside designations were mentioned, contractors must be responsive and responsible bidders. The project's estimated base bid is $2,600,000 and will be funded through the Centennial School District's budget. All subcontractors must also meet the same regulatory compliance standards as the primary contractor. The project requires integration with existing building control systems and infrastructure, suggesting that bidders should have technical expertise in mechanical systems retrofitting and controls technology. Contractors will need to coordinate with ongoing work at the sites and ensure minimal disruption to school operations during the installation and repair process. The comprehensive nature of the project demands a high level of technical proficiency in mechanical and HVAC system upgrades across multiple educational facilities.
