Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) Facilities Department is soliciting bids for a comprehensive HVAC replacement project through Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. 04012025, targeting the Maywood Center and Annex locations. The procurement involves the complete supply and installation of new HVAC units, specifically replacing multiple Bryant and Carrier units with detailed model and serial numbers. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for April 4, 2025, at 8:00 am in the Maywood Center main parking lot, with sealed bids due by 2:00 pm PST on April 16, 2025, followed by an immediate public bid opening. The project timeline anticipates construction starting May 22, 2025, with completion expected by August 8, 2025. Contractors must demonstrate experience in HVAC installation, hold valid Construction Contractors Board licensing, and comply with Oregon public works regulations and prevailing wage requirements. Bid submissions must include a First-Tier Subcontractor Disclosure form and bid security of 10% of the total bid amount.

Bidders must be prepared to provide performance and payment bonds, workers' compensation coverage, and comprehensive insurance provisions. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, contractors will need to undergo background checks and comply with safety protocols typical of educational institution projects. The bid does not specify a precise budget range, but requires substantial financial and operational capabilities given the comprehensive nature of the HVAC replacement. Successful vendors must be prepared to integrate new HVAC systems seamlessly into existing infrastructure at the Maywood Center and Annex. Additional requirements include strict adherence to state and local laws, detailed documentation, and the ability to work within an educational institutional environment. Contractors should be prepared for potential complex installation requirements and potential coordination with existing campus systems and operations.
