About this opportunity

Pinellas County, Florida is seeking a turn-key installation of a new 900-ton water-cooled chiller for the STAR Center's Central Energy plant through Invitation to Bid - Construction (ITB-C) #23-1128-ITB-C. The project requires replacing a failed existing chiller to maintain critical utility services and air conditioning for STAR Center tenants. Contractors must hold a Florida Class A HVAC Contractors License and demonstrate a minimum of ten years of experience in large commercial water-cooled chiller replacements, with service attendants capable of responding within one hour of the STAR Center. Key procurement dates include a question submission deadline of September 1, 2023, and a proposal submission deadline of September 7, 2023, at 3:00 pm, with a mandatory site visit scheduled for September 13, 2023. The project requires comprehensive deliverables including a 10-year warranty covering parts, refrigerant, and labor, along with 10 years of preventative maintenance service, and integration with existing Trane direct digital controls. Evaluation criteria will include adjustment factors for various work categories, with a weighted methodology that considers pricing across different work scenarios and operational conditions.

The county has established a 3% Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal for this contract, requiring bidders to provide documentation demonstrating compliance with local small business requirements. Contractors must complete various compliance forms, including an SBE Compliance Form, E-Verify Affidavit, and OpenGov vendor submittal documents. The project will require extensive insurance coverage, including general liability, workers' compensation, automobile liability, and pollution legal liability. Existing infrastructure includes a Trane Summit building control system that the new chiller must integrate with, and the project involves comprehensive mechanical and electrical work as specified in detailed project drawings and specifications. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the pricing proposal includes a contingency of $50,000 and indicates the project will be funded through Pinellas County. The total project completion time is set at 550 consecutive calendar days, with liquidated damages of $200 per calendar day for delays.
