HVAC Gas furnaces

The Harrisburg School District in Lake County, Oregon, is seeking competitive bids for a comprehensive HVAC replacement and improvement project targeting both elementary and middle school facilities. The procurement opportunity involves multiple key components: replacing 14 existing gas furnaces in elementary school Building 1 classrooms, installing air purification units in those same classrooms, adding rooftop condensing units for direct expansion cooling, and installing a mini-split cooling unit in the data/IT equipment server room. Bidders must be registered with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board and provide a copy of their BOLI Public Works Bond. The non-mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit is scheduled for April 20, 2022, with sealed bids due by 2:00 pm on May 2, 2022, at the Harrisburg School District Offices. The district will award the contract to the responsive and responsible bidder whose proposal appears to be in the best interest of the district, with an evaluation process that considers technical compliance, project understanding, and overall value.

Potential bidders must comply with Oregon prevailing wage laws and demonstrate capability to complete the comprehensive HVAC upgrade project. The district has reserved the right to reject any or all bids, postpone the award, or waive informalities if deemed in the public interest. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the project involves significant infrastructure improvements across multiple school buildings. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned in the procurement documents. The project will require integration with existing school infrastructure, focusing on modernizing HVAC systems to improve classroom environmental conditions and technical infrastructure cooling capabilities. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical expertise in school facility HVAC installations, understanding of complex retrofit environments, and compliance with local and state regulatory requirements.
