The state and local contract opportunity is an Invitation to Bid (ITB 21-00-26) issued by the Medford School District 549C in Jackson County, Oregon, for the replacement of HVAC ductwork at the Maslow building located at 500 Monroe Street, Medford. The project requires a qualified contractor to perform a comprehensive HVAC system upgrade, which includes replacing existing ductwork, installing exhaust fans, and modifying air distribution systems while reusing existing HVAC equipment. Key deliverables include full installation, balancing, testing, startup, and operational checkout of a fully functional HVAC system, with specific technical requirements detailed in mechanical design plans that mandate galvanized steel ductwork, proper insulation, and installation per SMACNA standards. An optional pre-bid meeting was scheduled for December 10, 2021, with formal bids due by 2:00 PM on December 22, 2021. The district reserves the right to award the contract to the bid that best serves its interests, with evaluation likely based on compliance with technical specifications, bid responsiveness, and overall value.

The solicitation does not indicate any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on bidder types. Contractors must comply with state and federal requirements, including filing a public works bond, paying prevailing wages according to BOLI and Davis-Bacon rules, and submitting certified payroll documentation. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the project involves working with existing HVAC infrastructure that will be retained and integrated into the new system. The contract will require comprehensive insurance coverage and adherence to detailed contract documents, including AIA Standard Form of Agreement and General Conditions. Though specific budget or award values are not explicitly stated in the documents, the project appears to be a firm fixed-price contract for a complete HVAC ductwork replacement at the Maslow building. Prospective bidders must demonstrate technical capability, wage compliance, and ability to execute the complex HVAC system modification within the specified requirements.
