MRR-26-48-04 Hubert Tech C Police HVAC Improvements

Savannah State University is seeking bids for the Hubert Tech C Police HVAC Improvements project, identified as MRR-26-48-04, located in Chatham County, Georgia. The procurement is a Design-Bid-Build construction contract focusing on comprehensive HVAC system modifications for the university's police facility. Specific deliverables include replacing air handling units, variable air volume boxes, ductwork, piping, and control systems across multiple floor plans. The project encompasses Phase I and Phase II upgrades with detailed electrical and mechanical system improvements, adhering to 2018 International Building Code, 2018 International Mechanical Code, 2015 International Energy Conservation Code, and 2020 National Electrical Code. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for November 5, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. in the Evers Physical Plan building, with sealed bids due on December 4, 2025, by 2:00 p.m. Evaluation criteria include lowest responsive and responsible bidder status, with contractors required to demonstrate financial stability through a Current Ratio of 1.0 or higher and an Experience Modification Rate not exceeding 1.2 over the past three years.
