The State of Ohio is seeking competitive bids for a comprehensive mechanical system replacement project involving the removal of an existing boiler system and installation of a new commercial water heater infrastructure. The procurement specifically targets replacing the current boiler with a commercial water heater and storage tank designed to supply hot water to restrooms and shower facilities. Potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate expertise in commercial HVAC and plumbing system installations, with specific qualifications in water heater replacement and integration. The contract opportunity was posted on December 8, 2025, with proposals due by December 22, 2025, providing bidders approximately two weeks to prepare and submit comprehensive technical and cost proposals. Evaluation criteria are likely to include technical capability, past performance, installation expertise, cost-effectiveness, and compliance with state mechanical system standards.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, Ohio state contracts often prioritize minority-owned, women-owned, and disadvantaged business enterprises for procurement opportunities. The project appears to be a standard infrastructure upgrade without complex technology integration requirements, suggesting a straightforward mechanical replacement scope. Potential bidders should anticipate a mid-range project budget typical of commercial facility mechanical system upgrades, likely ranging between $50,000 and $150,000 depending on specific system requirements and facility size. Interested contractors should carefully review technical specifications and prepare detailed proposals demonstrating their capability to efficiently remove the existing boiler system and install a new commercial water heater infrastructure that meets all state and local building and safety codes.
