North Country Supervisory Union School District Brighton Elementary School Boiler Replacement Project

The North Country Supervisory Union (NCSU) is soliciting sealed bids from qualified mechanical contractors for the replacement of four oil-fired boilers with a new pellet-fired boiler system supplemented by an LP boiler at Brighton Elementary School, located at 825 Railroad Street in Island Pond, Vermont. This is a mechanical contracting project where the selected contractor will serve as the lead contractor responsible for project execution. The procurement was posted on February 23, 2026, with a proposal submission deadline of March 26, 2026. While the detailed request for proposals document specifies project scope, technical specifications, timeline requirements, bidding procedures, and contractor qualifications, the actual RFP file was not accessible at the time of this summary. Prospective bidders should anticipate that the RFP will outline specific mechanical contractor certifications, experience requirements, insurance obligations, and evaluation criteria for award determination. The project represents a significant capital improvement initiative focused on transitioning the school's heating infrastructure from traditional oil combustion to renewable biomass and supplemental propane fuel sources.

The complete details regarding set-aside designations, disadvantaged business enterprise requirements, incumbent vendor information, and budget allocation ranges are contained within the inaccessible RFP document and therefore cannot be definitively confirmed in this summary. Interested mechanical contractors should obtain the full request for proposals from the North Country Supervisory Union to access all qualification requirements, bonding and insurance specifications, project timelines, technical drawings, and award criteria. Contractors are advised to submit inquiries and requests for clarification well in advance of the March 26, 2026 deadline to ensure adequate time for proposal preparation. The school district may conduct a pre-bid meeting or site visit; interested parties should confirm these procedural requirements directly with NCSU. All proposals must comply with Vermont procurement regulations and any applicable prevailing wage requirements for public school construction projects.
