Tucker House – HVAC Renovations

The City of Raleigh is soliciting bids for the Tucker House HVAC Renovations project, located in Wake County, North Carolina, with proposals due by 2:00 PM on May 1, 2025, at 222 West Hargett St., Suite 605. The procurement seeks a comprehensive HVAC system upgrade involving multiple specific tasks: removing an existing 399 MBH boiler and associated hot water piping in the basement, abandoning existing hot water radiators in place, installing four new split system gas furnace/heat pumps totaling 12.5-tons, providing one new 1.5-ton ductless split system, and conducting post-construction testing and balancing. Bidders must be licensed to perform work according to North Carolina General Statutes and are required to submit a 5% bid security with their proposal. Potential bidders can obtain bidding documents by emailing Brad Felts at Brad.W.Felts@imegcorp.com and must complete a vendor registration through the city's self-service vendor portal. The project has been engineered by Atlantec Engineers (now IMEG) and requires vendors to demonstrate technical capability to execute the comprehensive HVAC system transformation.

The City of Raleigh has established a specific Minority and Woman-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBE) participation goal of 15% for construction projects over $300,000 or contracts with $100,000 or more in state funding, which creates opportunities for disadvantaged business enterprises. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the HVAC renovations suggests a significant capital investment. The procurement appears open to qualified HVAC contractors and construction firms capable of meeting the technical specifications and MWBE participation requirements. Vendors must provide comprehensive company information during the registration process and demonstrate compliance with local licensing and regulatory standards. The project represents a targeted infrastructure improvement for the Tucker House, focusing on modernizing and enhancing the existing HVAC system through strategic equipment replacement and system optimization.
