The 35th District Court in Plymouth, Michigan is seeking competitive bids for a comprehensive mechanical equipment replacement project at its courthouse located at 660 Plymouth Road. The procurement involves multiple HVAC component upgrades, including removing an existing Carrier Chiller and installing a new Daikin AGZ008F chiller, implementing underground chilled water lines, refurbishing air handling units, replacing variable frequency drive (VFD) systems, removing humidifier systems, and installing AtmosAir Bi-polar ionization air purification units. The bid requires detailed line-item pricing for each component, with contractors mandated to submit a Bid Breakdown Form and Contractor Information Sheet. A mandatory site walkthrough is scheduled for Thursday, September 18, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., with potential bidders required to attend or risk disqualification. The final bid submission deadline is Thursday, September 25, 2025, at 3:00 p.m., with pricing required to remain firm for at least 60 days.

The procurement does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but bidders must meet several critical qualifications, including providing proof of Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability, and Motor Vehicle Liability insurance. Contractors must certify they are not an Iran-linked business as defined by Public Act 517 of 2012. All equipment must be accompanied by a minimum one-year Parts and Labor warranty. The 35th District Court reserves the right to award the bid by individual items, groups of items, or to reject all offers. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the documentation, the technical specifications suggest a substantial investment in advanced HVAC technology, including a 141.5-ton Daikin chiller with sophisticated communication capabilities via Modbus and BACnet protocols. The court will remit full payment within 30 days of receiving undisputed invoices, indicating a straightforward payment structure for the selected contractor.
