Auburn Hills Campus Chiller Replacement Project

Oakland Community College Board of Education is seeking bids for the AH25-003 Auburn Hills Campus Chiller Replacement Project, a comprehensive infrastructure upgrade spanning Macomb County and Ann Arbor City jurisdictions in Michigan. The procurement involves procuring labor, materials, and equipment to replace existing chillers with new centrifugal chillers, construct a building addition to accommodate new secondary switchgear, install a new cooling tower, and complete mechanical and electrical system upgrades. Bid documents will be available starting June 18th, 2025, with sealed bids due by 2:00 pm on July 17th, 2025, through the Building Connected online bidding platform. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for June 26th, 2025, at 10:00 am at the OCC Auburn Hills Campus, with additional site visits available upon request. Bidders are required to submit a Familial Disclosure Form, Iran Sanctions Form, and a Bid Bond through the platform. The college reserves the right to accept or reject any bid proposals and may award the contract to a non-lowest bidder based on the most beneficial terms.

While specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, bidders will need to demonstrate technical capability and financial stability to undertake this complex infrastructure project. The procurement does not specify incumbent vendors or existing contractual relationships. Interested parties can obtain bid documents online or by contacting designated Barton Malow representatives via email. The project appears to be a significant capital improvement initiative, though specific budget ranges or precise award values are not disclosed in the available documentation. Potential bidders should have extensive experience in mechanical and electrical systems upgrades, specifically in educational campus infrastructure, with demonstrated expertise in chiller replacement, switchgear installation, and cooling tower systems. Comprehensive technical qualifications and a robust understanding of complex institutional infrastructure projects will be critical for successful bid submission.
