Dunn County Judicial Center HVAC System Upgrades - Design/Build Project

Dunn County is seeking qualified design-build firms to replace and modernize the HVAC system at the Dunn County Judicial Center through a comprehensive design-build procurement. The project specifically requires a single design-build entity responsible for complete turnkey services including design, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and warranty. Key objectives include implementing geothermal energy efficiency technologies, enhancing system reliability, and achieving lifecycle cost savings within an active judicial facility. The procurement requires strict adherence to Davis-Bacon Act wage standards and will necessitate all required permits, testing, training, and documentation. Proposals are due on January 28, 2026, with the project posted on December 8, 2025. The selected firm must demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in designing and implementing complex HVAC systems with a focus on sustainability, comfort, and operational reliability. Deliverables will include a fully functional, code-compliant HVAC system with modern controls and geothermal efficiency capabilities.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, the procurement appears to be open to qualified design-build firms with demonstrated expertise in complex institutional HVAC system upgrades. The project does not include solar generation components and is focused exclusively on HVAC system modernization. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the original solicitation. The procurement suggests a substantial infrastructure investment, though specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated. Potential respondents should have extensive experience with geothermal systems, institutional facility upgrades, and the ability to work within an active judicial environment. Comprehensive technical capabilities, proven design-build experience, and demonstrated understanding of energy efficiency technologies will likely be critical evaluation criteria for selection. Firms must be prepared to provide comprehensive documentation, training, and warranty services as part of the complete system implementation.
