PANG HVAC Bundle

The Oregon Military Department is soliciting bids for the 2025 PANG HVAC Bundle project, located at the Portland Air National Guard base in Portland, Oregon. The Invitation to Bid (ITB) covers comprehensive HVAC system repairs and replacements across multiple buildings, with work divided into 11 separate Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) involving tasks such as AC unit replacements, chiller repairs, infrared heater troubleshooting, and cooling system installations. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for June 17, 2025, at 0900 PT, with final bids due on July 8, 2025, at 2:00 PM PT. The project timeline includes a 15-calendar day start after the Notice to Proceed, with substantial completion targeted at 120 calendar days and final completion at 180 calendar days. Bidders must possess a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number and demonstrate compliance with prevailing wage rates, with a specific requirement that 12% of work hours be performed by apprentices. Technical qualifications include the ability to work with Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems, infrared heating systems, and perform associated electrical and fire detection system modifications.

The contract appears open to all qualified contractors without specific set-aside designations, though strict federal and state compliance requirements will influence contractor selection. Bidders must provide performance and payment bonds, comprehensive insurance, and meet extensive environmental and sustainability standards, including obtaining permits from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and adhering to clean air and water regulations. The project is anticipated to be funded through a combination of state and federal funds, with an estimated budget range between $100,000 to $150,000. Contractors will be required to submit detailed documentation, including weekly reports, participate in project meetings, and complete a final DD Form 1354 documenting all capital improvements. Additional compliance requirements include using energy-efficient equipment, water-conserving fixtures, low-VOC materials, and implementing comprehensive waste management protocols. The successful bidder must work closely with the base environmental manager and demonstrate a robust understanding of sustainable construction practices as outlined in the federal Guiding Principles.
