Parfet Building RTU Replacement 2025

Jefferson County, Colorado is seeking a contractor to replace 12 roof top units (RTUs) at the Parfet Building located in Lakewood. The project involves complete removal of existing RTUs on the west side of the building and installation of like-for-like Carrier units with 5-ton capacity, adapter curbs, and i-Vu Plus Building Automation cards. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for September 23, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., with written questions due by September 29, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. Bids are due on October 9, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., with a public bid opening at 4:00 p.m. the same day via Microsoft Teams. Potential bidders must submit a comprehensive Qualifications Questionnaire detailing their company history, licensing, previous contract experience, references, equipment, subcontractors, and key personnel. The county will evaluate bids based on factors beyond just the lowest price, considering the overall suitability and capabilities of the contractor.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations, but the county encourages participation and does require vendors to potentially extend pricing to other government agencies. The project will integrate with an existing Carrier i-Vu Web Building Automation System, and contractors must be prepared to work during normal business hours (Monday to Friday, 7:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.). Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating coverage from carriers licensed in Colorado with an A.M. Best rating of at least A-/VII. While a precise contract value is not explicitly stated, the Lohmiller & Co proposal indicates a total equipment cost of $244,833.00, with additional startup and installation costs. The project is funded through the Jefferson County General Fund, with a one-year warranty required for all work and potential extended manufacturer warranties on specific equipment. Contractors must also comply with local labor requirements, including using at least 80% Colorado labor.
