AC Units

The state of Pennsylvania, specifically involving Mercer County and Lewistown Borough, is soliciting bids for an HVAC construction project focused on replacing air conditioning units. The project involves disconnecting and removing two existing 10-ton AC units and installing new rooftop AC units, which will include roof curb flange adapters, supply/return ductwork, and necessary electrical connections. All work must be completed in strict accordance with provided project drawings and specifications. The bid is scheduled for Wednesday, July 15, 2015, at 2:00 P.M., with no pre-bid conference planned. Technical questions should be directed to David Peck, P.E. with UNI-TEC Engineers at (814) 238-8223 ext. 358. Interested bidders must obtain project documents by mailing a $15.00 check payable to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to the Department of General Services in Harrisburg, and must register on the state supplier portal to secure plans and specifications.

This procurement is specifically designated as a Small Business Construction Program project, requiring all bidders to be self-certified with a valid small business "construction" certificate issued by the Department of General Services as of the bid opening date. Bidders must also comply with the Public Works Employment Verification Act 127 of 2012 by submitting a Commonwealth Public Works Verification Form prior to contract award. The estimated project value is under $100,000, positioning it as a smaller-scale HVAC construction opportunity. Potential contractors must have a valid vendor number and register through the state's supplier portal to participate. The project appears to be focused on infrastructure improvement and modernization of existing HVAC systems, with strict requirements for small business participation and regulatory compliance.
