HVAC Controls Project #FY2027-PH# HVAC

Bulloch County Schools is soliciting proposals for replacement of HVAC controls at Stilson Elementary School, Langston Chapel Elementary School, and Langston Chapel Middle School under Project FY2027-PH3, with proposals due December 17, 2026 at 2:00 PM. Only control systems from Siemens, Carrier iVu, or Trane are acceptable, which restricts bidders to those platforms. The solicitation identifies no set-asides.

The scope is a turnkey solution covering building graphics, control devices, server(s) if necessary, ethernet cabling, peak demand limiting, customizable scheduling, individual and universal equipment control, and alarm trending. Vendors must provide system commissioning with 100% device testing and up to eight hours of employee training. Separate bid amounts are required for each of the three locations, each all-inclusive of audit, engineering, design, inspection, commissioning, permitting, materials, equipment, labor, insurance, bonding, disposal, freight, and warranties, and excluding federal excise and state and local taxes.

Bid bonds equal 5% of the full bid amount per location. Performance and payment bonds equal 100% of the contract sum and must be issued by a corporate surety authorized in Georgia. Commercial general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, plus workers compensation, is required.

Payment is net 30 days after final delivery and acceptance, with 10% retainage held until full project completion and inspection. The contract has no renewal option. Pricing must remain firm through project completion. The source states a work completion date of July 16, 2026, which precedes the posting date, and names school-break windows of April 3–11, 2027 and May 30–July 12, 2027 as preferred completion periods.

Optional pre-bid site visits are available by appointment from November 9, 2026 through December 11, 2026. Sealed proposals go to Ryan Macy, Director of Facilities Management, with public bid opening at 2:10 PM on December 17, 2026. The notice lists Burke County as jurisdiction (FIPS 13033).
