The scope covers mini-split air conditioning units for five locations: head end/tech server rooms at Crowell, Gordon, Harrington, and Hughes Elementary Schools, and a CTE room at Marshall Opportunity High School. Units must be electrically powered, air-cooled inverter-driven compressors with 12,000 to 18,000 BTU capacity, designed for continuous 24/7 operation with low ambient temperature cooling and automatic restart after power loss. Each unit requires a 20 to 25 percent growth margin in sizing. All units must be rooftop-mounted with appropriate base and anchorage, include standalone condensate pumps with blockage alarms, and feature independent temperature sensors with audible high temperature alarms capable of email alerts. Installation must comply with local and state electrical, fire, and mechanical codes; prevailing wage requirements do not apply.

For bids exceeding $50,000, a bid bond from a U.S. Treasury listed surety company or a cashier's check equal to at least five percent of the proposal amount is required, with bond costs included in the total proposal price. All proposals must remain firm for sixty days from submission. Each bid must be submitted on provided forms in sealed format (electronic submissions are not accepted) and must include a notarized Familial Disclosure Statement and a notarized Affidavit of Compliance to the Iran Economic Sanctions Act. An optional pre-bid walk-through is scheduled for July 16, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. at Marshall Opportunity High School. Questions are due prior to the walk-through. The District reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids and to award to other than the lowest bidder based on its best interests. Alternative suggestions with separate pricing are encouraged.
