Energy Management Control System Upgrade

The Kansas Department of Administration Procurement and Contracts has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for an Energy Management Control System Upgrade at the Larned State Correctional Facility. The project involves retrofitting the HVAC controls in three buildings from pneumatic to computer-based energy management controls. The awarded vendor will be responsible for furnishing materials and performing the retrofit work, which must be completed between 8am-5pm. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for May 14, 2024, and bids are due by May 23, 2024 at 2:00 PM Central Time. The contract will be awarded for an initial period from the date of award through June 30, 2025, with an option to renew for one additional 12-month period. Pricing must be provided on a cost sheet included in the RFP, quoted on a lump sum basis with breakdowns for materials, labor, and freight.

The contract opportunity is open to political subdivisions in the state of Kansas, including Pawnee County and Lawrence City. Preferences are available for certified businesses, disabled veteran-owned businesses, and state use purchases. Bidders must obtain a current tax clearance certificate from the Kansas Department of Revenue and submit it with their bid response. Payments may be made using the state's procurement card, and the state reserves the right to confirm the tax status of all potential contractors and subcontractors prior to contract award. The contract will be awarded to the bidder providing the best value to the state, as determined by the Procurement Negotiation Committee.
