HVAC Replacement Project

The City of Bend has initiated a procurement for an HVAC Replacement Project targeting multiple fire stations and the police station, seeking sealed bids for comprehensive mechanical system replacements. The project encompasses two distinct scopes: Scope A involves replacing HVAC units, water heaters, and ductless mini-split systems across ten fire station facilities, while Scope B focuses on replacing two HVAC units at the city's police station. Contractors are permitted to bid on either or both scopes, with the primary objective of replacing systems that have reached the end of their operational lifecycle. The bid solicitation was posted on July 16, 2025, with a bid submission deadline of August 8, 2025. Bidders are required to complete multiple mandatory documentation forms, including a Bid Bond Form, First Tier Subcontractor Disclosure Form, Addenda Certification, and Bid Submittal Responsive Form. The procurement process involves several addenda documents, including three separate addendum releases that provide additional project specifications and plans.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the procurement appears to be a standard competitive bidding process open to qualified HVAC and mechanical systems contractors. The project documentation includes a Notice of Bids Received and a Notice of Intent to Award, with Temp Rite Mechanical potentially being a recommended vendor. The contract documents suggest a comprehensive replacement project with detailed plans and specifications provided in accompanying PDF files. The scope of work implies a significant infrastructure upgrade across multiple municipal facilities, indicating a potentially substantial project budget. Though exact budget figures are not specified in the provided materials, the extensive documentation and multi-facility scope suggest a significant capital investment in municipal infrastructure modernization. Interested contractors would need to demonstrate technical capability, compliance with municipal procurement requirements, and the capacity to execute complex HVAC system replacements across fire and police station facilities.
