SSLGC Booster PS HVAC Improvements

The Schertz-Seguin Local Government Corporation (SSLGC) is soliciting competitive sealed proposals for HVAC improvements at the booster pump station electrical room located in Seguin, Texas, within Grimes County. The project involves comprehensive HVAC system upgrades, specifically replacing existing BARD units with three new Trane packaged air conditioning units, each with 12.5 tons capacity and 5000 CFM airflow. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for September 2nd at 10:00 AM at the City's Utilities Operation Center, with final proposals due on September 16th at 3:00 PM local time at Seguin City Hall. The contract specifications require a lump sum bid with 5% bid security, and bidders must provide detailed technical documentation demonstrating capability to install and integrate new HVAC equipment. Contract performance timelines are set at 150 calendar days for substantial completion and 180 calendar days for final completion, with liquidated damages of $500 per day for delays. Evaluation will likely focus on technical compliance, pricing, and demonstrated experience with similar municipal infrastructure projects.

The procurement appears open to all qualified contractors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The project budget and potential award value are not explicitly stated, but the comprehensive nature of the HVAC improvements suggests a significant investment in municipal infrastructure. Successful bidders must provide performance and payment bonds for 100% of the contract price and demonstrate capability to integrate new HVAC systems with existing electrical infrastructure, including 480V and 120V power configurations. The Owner reserves the right to increase or decrease the work by up to 25% of the original contract amount, providing flexibility in project scope. Technical requirements include installing programmable thermostats, implementing specific cooling setpoints, and ensuring compatibility with existing pump station building structures. Contractors will need to carefully coordinate demolition of existing units, install new ductwork, and maintain precise electrical and mechanical system integrations.
