Conservation/SLD/Wehle - FY27 HVAC tune ups and repairs

The State of Alabama's Conservation/SLD/Wehle solicitation seeks an annual agreement for HVAC minor and major tune-ups, maintenance, and repair as needed at the Wehle Nature Center in Baldwin County, with responses due October 27, 2026. The solicitation is an "All or None" award, and the source names no set-aside, preference, or sole-source restriction.

Respondents must register in Alabama Buys and submit electronically through that platform. Suppliers must enroll in E-Verify if employing one or more employees within the state and certify compliance with Alabama sales and use tax collection and remittance obligations. The State reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analyses, and it caps price escalation requests at 5 percent annually. All contracts are governed by Alabama law with exclusive venue in Montgomery.

The scope covers nine HVAC units across four Wehle facilities: three at the Nature Center, two at the Dormitory, three at the Dining Hall, and one at a staff house. Equipment is manufactured by Carrier, Bryant, Comfortmaker, and Daikin, ranging from 3 to 5 tons, with SEER ratings of 13 to 14 and R-410A refrigerant. The valid performance period runs from November 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027.

The total not-to-exceed cost is $25,000, covering the original agreement and any subsequent annual renewals over a maximum five-year period from the effective contract date. The State retains the right to cancel for convenience with notice or to terminate for supplier non-performance, and it pays electronically and is exempt from sales tax upon furnishing an exemption letter.
