The State of Louisiana, through the Division of Administration's Office of Facility Planning and Control, is seeking comprehensive architectural and engineering services for a boiler replacement project at Southern University at New Orleans. The procurement specifically targets the Arts, Humanities & Social Science Building and Gymnasium, with a project number 19-671-22-01 and state building IDs S27481 and S00303. The primary deliverable involves replacing existing boiler systems with new Lochinvar FCB 2000N condensing stainless steel firetube boilers, featuring a maximum input of 1,999,000 Btu/Hr and a high thermal efficiency of 96.2%. The project requires detailed mechanical, electrical, and architectural work, including demolition of existing systems, installation of new boilers, associated pumps, air separators, compression tanks, and related infrastructure. Proposals are due by November 10, 2025, with the project design documents dated June 18, 2025, prepared by Parish Engineering. The scope emphasizes energy efficiency, proper installation practices, and compliance with current building and mechanical codes. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the project is typical of state-level procurements that may have preferences for local or disadvantaged business enterprises. The existing infrastructure includes boiler systems in two university buildings that require complete replacement, suggesting potential opportunities for local mechanical contractors with experience in institutional heating systems. The project appears to be funded through the State of Louisiana's capital improvement budget, though precise budget allocations are not specified in the current documentation. The comprehensive nature of the project, involving electrical connections, piping modifications, and supporting systems like variable speed pumps and combustion air fans, indicates a substantial infrastructure investment. Potential bidders should have demonstrated expertise in complex mechanical system replacements, energy-efficient heating solutions, and institutional facility modernization projects.
