RFP 2026 PR 9409 Chiller Eddy Current Testing

The Orlando Utilities Commission is requesting proposals for eddy current testing of nonferrous tubing in Trane chillers across ten chilled water plant locations in Orlando and Orange County, Florida, with proposals due October 2, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. ET (RFP 2026 PR 9409). This is an as-needed services contract with a five-year initial term and potential renewal options thereafter.

Minimum qualifications are evaluated on a pass/fail basis and include three years of eddy current testing experience, completion of at least three substantially similar projects within five years, ASTM E690 compliance certification, identification of at least one Level II or Level III certified eddy current testing technician, possession of required testing equipment, and maintenance of documented quality assurance and safety programs. Testing will encompass both evaporator and condenser tubes across 47 specific chiller units at ten facility locations: Downtown North, Downtown South, Downtown West, Millenia Mall, Lake Nona, Lockheed Martin, Vistana, OCCC South, OCCC North, Universal, and GOAA.

Pricing must be firm during the initial five-year term (2026–2030) and is subject only to Consumer Price Index adjustments during any renewal period. Proposers must submit unit pricing for individual evaporator and condenser tube testing at each location for each contract year. Evaluation criteria include qualifications and experience, responsiveness to requirements, safety and quality programs, financial soundness of the organization, and price. Bid bonds and payment/performance bonds are not required. OUC reserves the right to award one or more contracts in whole or in part and to negotiate with responsive and responsible bidders. Questions and comments are due by September 14, 2026; addenda are due by September 18, 2026. Proposals must be submitted electronically through VendorLink. No pre-response conference is scheduled.
