Texas A&M University, through SSC Services for Education, is seeking competitive sealed proposals (CSP) for project number 2023-06178, which involves comprehensive hydronic pump and piping replacement in the Bright building (#0353). The primary scope includes replacing building ChW & HHW piping and pumps, removing computer room process ChW piping, pumps, and abandoned CRAC units, with an alternate option to replace wind tunnel ChW piping and pumps per RSE drawings dated 12/09/2024. Potential bidders must submit proposals by February 5, 2025, at 2:00 P.M., with a mandatory pre-proposal meeting scheduled for January 8, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. in the SSC Facilities Services Conference Room S118. Technical inquiries should be directed to Mark Claypool at Ramirez-Simon Engineering, while submission process questions should be addressed to SSC Project Manager Iraj Solouki. The project is set to commence as soon as possible, with construction documents and RFP information available electronically through a provided e-builder web link.

The procurement includes a mandatory HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) Subcontracting Plan, requiring monthly HUB Progress Assessment Reports (PARs) with each pay application. This requirement suggests a strong emphasis on supporting minority and disadvantaged business participation in the project. Proposals must be submitted to SSC Service Solutions Facilities Services EDCS in College Station, TX, with a public proposal opening scheduled for February 6, 2025, at 3:00 P.M. in Conference Room 204. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the comprehensive nature of the HVAC and piping replacement indicates a potentially significant capital investment. The project's focus on infrastructure modernization and system replacement suggests a complex engineering and construction undertaking that will require specialized mechanical and engineering expertise to successfully execute the proposed work.
