Installation of Customer Interface Equipment on Existing Carrier Furnace

The Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for the installation of customer interface equipment on an existing Carrier HVAC control system at the Dubuque Maintenance Garage. This procurement is specifically seeking information about enhancing the current system's capabilities, with a focus on troubleshooting and self-diagnostic features for an existing XT Router installation. The RFI is open from June 16, 2025, at 1:00 PM CDT to June 25, 2025, at 10:00 PM CDT, with event number 645-RFI-1884-2025. Vendors are required to submit their responses online and provide detailed recommendations through an attachment in the questions section. The primary commodity codes associated with this RFI are 91026 (Furnace Maintenance and Repair Services) and 91450 (Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning). Importantly, this is explicitly not a Request for Proposal (RFP), but rather a process to gather informational recommendations about potential product and service solutions. The primary contact for this RFI is Kyle Williams, who can be reached at Kyle.Williams@iowadot.us or by phone at +1 515-233-7960.

The RFI documents do not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Three supporting attachments are available for vendor review: an RFI-1884 Packet, an Existing Carrier XT Router image, and a Carrier i-Vu Automation System diagram. While no specific budget range or award value is mentioned in the available documentation, the procurement appears focused on gathering market intelligence about potential interface equipment and system enhancement capabilities. The existing infrastructure includes a Carrier HVAC control system with an XT Router already installed at the Dubuque Maintenance Garage. Vendors are encouraged to provide comprehensive information about products and services that could potentially improve the current system's diagnostic and troubleshooting capabilities. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are explicitly identified in the RFI documentation.
