The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is seeking bids for the St. Petersburg Chiller Plant Replacement, specifically the HVAC Replacement-Phase 2 project (Solicitation No. FWC 24/25-27C). This procurement involves a comprehensive replacement of the existing chiller plant and HVAC system at the FWC's St. Petersburg facility. The base bid includes replacing six pumps, with add alternate options for three additional pumps. The project requires careful planning for temporary cooling installation, estimated to be needed for approximately three months during the demolition and replacement process. Bidders must submit their proposals by 3:30 PM (ET) on Monday, November 18, 2024, through the Vendor Information Portal. The solicitation involves detailed electrical requirements, including provisions for two circuits (one 700A and one 600A), and requires careful coordination of demolition and new equipment installation. Respondents must carefully review the technical specifications, particularly the nuanced details about equipment reuse and replacement outlined in Addendum 2.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation. The procurement appears to be open to standard commercial contractors with expertise in HVAC and chiller plant replacement. While the exact budget range is not disclosed, the complexity of the project suggests a significant capital investment, particularly given the requirements for temporary cooling, multiple pump replacements, and extensive electrical infrastructure modifications. The project is located in Leon County, Florida, and will be managed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. No incumbent vendor information was provided in the available documents. The procurement seems to be focused on technical capabilities and precise implementation of the HVAC replacement, with an emphasis on minimal disruption to existing facility operations during the transition period.
