Sheriff's Office Hot Water Heating System & Cabinet Unit Heater (CUH) Upgrades Rebid #2

Walworth County is seeking bids for a comprehensive heating system upgrade at the Sheriff's Office located at 1770 County Rd NN in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. The procurement is a single prime contract for general construction involving selective demolition and replacement of existing boilers, pumps, cabinet unit heaters, and control systems. Specific deliverables include installing three new condensing boilers, three circulating pumps, new control valves, and associated mechanical and electrical infrastructure. The project requires bidders to demonstrate a proven record of completing mechanical projects on time and within budget, maintain a permanent business, obtain required insurance and bonding, and possess appropriate technical experience. Key procurement dates include bid documents issued on October 23, 2025, a pre-bid meeting on November 6, 2025 at 10:00 am, final questions due by November 10, 2025, and bid submissions due on November 21, 2025 at 11:00 am. Evaluation will focus on identifying the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, with bidders required to submit a 5% bid bond and provide comprehensive documentation through the county's Bonfire Portal.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. Electronic bid submissions will be the sole method of proposal delivery, with contract award expected on December 15, 2025, and project completion targeted for September 1, 2026. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the project involves upgrading existing infrastructure within the Walworth County Sheriff's Office, necessitating careful integration with current mechanical and electrical systems. Bidders must demonstrate financial stability, technical competence, and the capability to execute a complex mechanical upgrade project. Although a precise budget range is not specified, the comprehensive nature of the upgrades—involving boiler replacement, pump installations, control system modifications, and electrical work across multiple building areas—suggests a significant capital investment. The project will be funded directly by Walworth County, with potential for additional budget contingencies based on final bid submissions and project complexity.
