Request for Replacement of Temperature Controls

Breituing Township Schools is soliciting sealed bids for a comprehensive temperature control replacement project at Woodland Elementary School in Kingsford, Michigan. The procurement involves upgrading existing pneumatic controls to DDC Delta Controls for unit ventilators and baseboard radiators across approximately 40 rooms spanning three floors. Specific deliverables include installing new room thermostats, sensors, valves, associated wiring, and programming, with full integration required with existing OrcaWeb/OrcaView software using BCnet Communication protocol. Bidders must submit two copies of their proposal, including a sworn familial disclosure statement, Iran Economic Sanctions Act Certification, and proof of insurance coverage. The bid submission deadline is set for 3:00 p.m. C.D.T. on Friday, May 17, 2019, with public bid opening scheduled in the Superintendent's Office. Technical requirements mandate installation by certified Delta Controls technicians and submission of AutoCAD and PDF drawings detailing controller wiring diagrams and network architecture. Bidders must provide a one-year warranty on all completed work.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders are required to maintain a minimum of $1 million in aggregate insurance coverage for personal injuries and bodily harm, with all insurance documentation to be submitted at contract execution. The project covers temperature control systems for multiple rooms, suggesting potential integration complexity with existing building infrastructure. While no incumbent vendors are directly mentioned, the requirement to integrate with existing OrcaWeb/OrcaView software indicates a need for technical compatibility and potentially sophisticated systems knowledge. The specific budget range is not explicitly stated in the documentation, though the comprehensive nature of the temperature control replacement across 40 rooms suggests a significant investment. Prospective bidders will need to demonstrate technical expertise in Delta Controls installation, communication protocol integration, and comprehensive HVAC system documentation to be considered for the contract.
