Construction: HVAC - Williamstown WVANG

The West Virginia Department of Administration Purchasing Division is conducting a Centralized Request for Quote (CRFQ) for a comprehensive HVAC replacement project at the Williamstown West Virginia Air National Guard (WVANG) facility located in Upshur County. The procurement seeks a contractor to replace twelve (12) Roof Top Units (RTUs), three (3) Heating Ventilation Units (HVUs), one (1) Make-Up Air Unit (MAU), and implement a complete building automation system replacement. The project requires detailed technical specifications, including direct digital controls (DDC) that are fully compatible with existing systems, utilizing R-454B refrigerant, direct drive supply fans, and double wall cabinet construction meeting specific energy efficiency standards. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on June 25, 2025, with vendor technical questions due by July 10, 2025, at 11:00 am EST, and the final bid opening scheduled for July 17, 2025, at 1:30 pm EST. The contract is structured as a fixed-period procurement with a 120-calendar day completion timeframe, requiring comprehensive proposal submission that includes all labor, materials, tools, supplies, and equipment necessary for the HVAC replacement.

The solicitation requires contractors to possess a valid West Virginia Contractor's License and comply with local labor market hiring requirements mandating at least 75% of employees be hired from the local labor market. Contractors must submit a drug-free workplace affidavit and provide insurance coverage of $1,000,000 in commercial general liability and automobile liability. The project involves replacing existing Trane and other manufacturer units across various facility spaces, including classrooms, medical areas, and maintenance bays, with units predominantly operating at 460 voltage with three-phase power. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement is structured as a single line item, lump sum contract to be invoiced through the Adjutant General's Office in Charleston and Kingwood, West Virginia. The existing facility roof, installed by Murray Sheet Metal in June 2023, is a Firestone brand, and contractors will need to work within the constraints of the current infrastructure while ensuring full operational capability of the HVAC system throughout the replacement process.
