The State of Louisiana, through the Division of Administration's Office of Facility Planning and Control, is seeking bids for a Chiller Replacement project at Southern University at New Orleans (SUNO) Central Plant. The procurement involves removing the existing Chiller 3 and installing a new water-cooled chiller (CH-3) with a cooling capacity of 780.0 tons. Project No. 19-671-22-01 encompasses comprehensive mechanical and electrical work, including demolition of current equipment, reconnection of existing conduit and wiring, and integration with the existing condenser water pump (CP-3(E)) and cooling tower (CT-3(E)). The specific chiller to be installed is a York model YKK9K2H9_EVH with 480V, 3-phase, 60 Hz electrical service. Bid documents were prepared by Parish Engineering and dated 06/13/2025, with the procurement opportunity posted on October 9, 2025, and proposals due by November 10, 2025. The project requires detailed technical capabilities for mechanical system replacement, electrical infrastructure reconnection, and comprehensive system testing and balancing. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the project will require sophisticated mechanical and electrical engineering capabilities. The procurement involves replacing existing infrastructure within SUNO's central plant, necessitating contractors with demonstrated experience in large-scale institutional HVAC system replacements. The electrical renovation component will require precise verification of electrical requirements and seamless reconnection of existing electrical infrastructure. Though a specific budget range is not provided, the complexity of replacing a 780-ton water-cooled chiller system suggests a substantial capital investment. Potential bidders will need to demonstrate technical proficiency in mechanical systems integration, electrical reconnection, and comprehensive testing procedures for institutional cooling infrastructure. The project's scope indicates a significant technical challenge that will require specialized engineering and installation expertise.
