The project requires complete removal, disposal, and debris clearance, with full installation including necessary connections, startup, and operational verification. Bidders must possess an active South Carolina Mechanical Contractor's License with either Air Conditioning (AC) or Packaged Equipment (PK) classification, with licensing requirements dependent on project value (Group 2 for projects under $50,000, Group 3 for projects over $50,000).

Bidders must be registered with the state vendor system and provide proof of insurance meeting specified requirements. The contractor will be responsible for all equipment rental, permits, fees, and labor associated with removal and installation, and must guarantee that newly installed equipment functions according to manufacturer specifications. The evaluation will be based on the lowest total bid price, with bidders required to submit unit prices for each line item and calculate extended prices by multiplying quantity by unit price. All pricing must be submitted in U.S. dollars, excluding sales or use taxes. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are mentioned, the solicitation emphasizes compliance with South Carolina procurement regulations.
