Henderson Building Replace Chiller

Blue Ridge Community College in North Carolina is seeking proposals for a turnkey project to remove and replace the existing chiller system at the Henderson building on their campus. The project requires all labor, materials, Metasys disconnections and re-integration, concrete pads, traffic control, supervision, disposal fees, permits, and inspections. The chiller system specifications call for a 50-ton air-cooled scroll chiller unit. Sealed bids are due by 3:00 PM on September 5, 2024, and a mandatory pre-bid conference will be held on August 20, 2023 at 1:00 PM. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive bidder that meets the written specifications. Bidders must provide a proposed construction schedule, warranties, references, and a lump sum price broken down by materials and labor. Alternates are requested for providing a temporary chiller, installing emergency taps, providing one-time chemical treatment, and a performance and payment bond.

The contract opportunity is open to all interested and qualified vendors, with no set-aside designations or restrictions mentioned. The procurement documents do not identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors. While the project requires integration with the existing Metasys building management system, no details are provided on the existing infrastructure or technology. The procurement documents also do not include any information on possible award values or budget ranges for the project.
