UNC Pembroke

The University of North Carolina at Pembroke (UNCP) is seeking qualified contractors for the Dial and DF Lowry Boiler Replacements project, a comprehensive capital improvement initiative targeting aging boiler systems on its campus. The procurement involves complete replacement of existing boiler units in two campus facilities, with specific requirements for removal of current equipment, installation of new boiler systems, associated piping modifications, and full system commissioning. Contractors must demonstrate extensive experience in commercial boiler installation projects, possessing appropriate licensing and insurance credentials. The project requires detailed pricing for equipment, labor, materials, and incidental costs, with a focus on minimizing disruption to campus operations during installation. The proposal is due on January 15, 2026, with contractors expected to provide comprehensive documentation of their technical capabilities, installation methodologies, and compliance with industry standards and manufacturer specifications. Key deliverables include fully functional, efficient boiler systems that meet UNCP's heating infrastructure needs and adhere to all applicable engineering and safety standards.

While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, contractors will be evaluated on their technical expertise, project management capabilities, and proven track record in similar institutional infrastructure replacement projects. The project is funded through UNCP's capital improvement budget, suggesting potential for a substantial contract value, though exact budget parameters are not specified in the provided materials. Contractors will be required to provide comprehensive warranties on installed equipment and workmanship, aligning with industry best practices. The scope of work indicates a preference for contractors with demonstrated experience in complex institutional mechanical system replacements, particularly within educational campus environments. Successful bidders must be prepared to coordinate closely with campus facilities management to ensure minimal operational disruption during the boiler replacement process, with a clear understanding of the technical complexities involved in replacing critical heating infrastructure in an active university setting.
