FVSU-Troup Air Handling Unit Replacement

The state of Georgia, through Fort Valley State University, is seeking qualified contractors to provide and install a new air handling unit for the Troup Administration Building on the Fort Valley State University campus. This Design-Bid-Build construction project involves the replacement of the existing air handling unit, with associated demolition, ductwork, piping, and electrical work. Bidders must be qualified per the requirements outlined in the project documents, and the contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible bidder who provides the lowest bid within the budget. A mandatory pre-bid conference will be held on April 30, 2024, and bids are due by 2:00 PM on May 23, 2024. The successful contractor will be required to provide both a performance bond and a payment bond, each in an amount equal to 100 percent of the contract sum, prior to execution of the contract.

The contract opportunity is open to all qualified contractors, and the Owner's policy is to provide maximum opportunity for minority business enterprises to participate in the procurement process. Three contractors - Kent Mechanical, SafeAire, and T&D Mechanical - have been approved to bid on the project. The contract will be awarded on a lump sum basis, and the Owner reserves the right to waive technicalities, reject all bids, and negotiate with the lowest responsive and responsible bidder if all bids exceed the budget. The estimated budget for the project is not specified in the provided documents.
