Cooling Tower and Chiller Replacement

The state of North Carolina is seeking qualifications for the design and construction administration of a Cooling Tower and Chiller Replacement project in Person County, specifically in the Rockfish Census Designated Place (CDP). The project involves the replacement of two existing water-cooled chillers, the cooling tower, and the chilled water primary and condenser pumps with a new air-cooled chiller. Any remaining funding will be allocated towards the replacement of insulation and jacketing on exterior chilled and hot water pipes. The project is anticipated to be led by a Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) engineering firm with support from other design consultants such as architecture and civil engineering. The total project budget is $990,000, funded by the county and the North Carolina Community College System. Interested firms must submit a Letter of Interest and Standard Form 254 by April 8, 2024, at 3:00 pm to Piedmont Community College in Roxboro, North Carolina. The selection committee will evaluate the proposals based on factors such as specialized expertise, past performance, staffing, design approach, cost and schedule management, construction administration capabilities, and familiarity with the local area. The awarded firm must be properly licensed to practice Architecture, Engineering, or Landscape Architecture in the State of North Carolina.

This opportunity is open to all qualified firms, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The state has not provided any information about incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total award value is $990,000.
