About this opportunity
Lee County, North Carolina is seeking proposals for the replacement of Chiller 2 at the Lee County Courthouse and Jail located at 1400 S. Horner Blvd in Sanford. The procurement involves a comprehensive HVAC system upgrade requiring contractors to remove and replace a 125-ton chiller with a new packaged chiller, including associated mechanical components such as isolating valves, flow regulating valves, and flanged connections. Bidders must attend a mandatory pre-bid meeting on October 8, 2025, at 10:00 AM in the brick courtyard between the old and new courthouses, with sealed bids due by October 29, 2025, at 10:00 AM. Contractors must submit two complete bid packages and comply with North Carolina Building Codes, providing a two-year warranty on materials and equipment with a five-year extended guarantee on refrigeration compressors. The project requires interfacing the new chiller with existing automated controls, re-insulating exposed piping, and creating comprehensive documentation including operation and maintenance manuals and record drawings. Successful bidders must demonstrate experience with similar HVAC replacement projects and possess appropriate North Carolina contractor licenses.
Lee County specifically encourages small, minority, and women-owned businesses to submit bids, emphasizing an equal opportunity procurement approach. Bidders must meet specific requirements including providing references, proof of completing three equivalent jobs, and maintaining appropriate insurance and bonding coverage. The project requires compliance with various regulatory standards including AHRI, ASHRAE, ANSI, and OSHA regulations, as well as certification for the Iran Divestment Act and E-Verify compliance. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical specifications suggest a complex infrastructure replacement project requiring significant mechanical engineering expertise. The chillers specified are York air-cooled units with specific performance parameters, including a refrigerant flammability rating of "1" and operational capabilities across a wide temperature range from 30F to 115F. Electronic payment will be accepted, and the county reserves the right to reject any or all bids, maintaining flexibility in the procurement process.
