PSC HVAC Replacement Units

Morgan County Board of Commissioners is seeking bids for the replacement of up to 7 HVAC units located at the Public Safety Complex building in Madison, Georgia. The project is segmented into three distinct phases, with specific Johnson Controls model units targeted for replacement across different areas of the facility. Bidders must provide Carrier brand units, with Rheem accepted as an alternate, and must demonstrate compatibility with existing building automation systems through Schneider Electric. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for December 13, 2024, at 9:00am, with final proposals due by January 9, 2025, at 10:00am to the Assistant County Manager. Evaluation criteria will include compliance with specifications, control system compatibility, warranties, project timeline, and cost, with cost not being the sole determining factor. Contractors must adhere to strict operational constraints, including ensuring no HVAC unit is offline for more than 8 hours and maintaining specific sequencing to prevent disruption to the detention center's operations.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must maintain minimum insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 general liability, $150,000 automobile liability, and statutory workers' compensation limits. Upon award, the selected vendor must provide 100% performance and payment bonds. Background checks will be required for workers accessing secured areas of the facility. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project involves multiple HVAC unit replacements with potential phased implementation, with some work potentially deferred to July 2025 depending on pricing. Contractors must be prepared to coordinate closely with Johnson Controls and Schneider Electric, demonstrate technical expertise in HVAC system replacement, and provide comprehensive warranties for both equipment and workmanship. Interested bidders must submit a comprehensive bid package including product information, warranty details, references, insurance certificates, and compliance documentation.
