The City of Pendleton, located in Union County, Oregon, is soliciting bids for a Water Filtration Plant Heating Unit installation project through a competitive procurement process. The primary objective is to furnish and install a new 500,000 BTU direct fire make up air unit, which includes removing and disposing of the existing heating unit. Bidders must provide a comprehensive bid proposal that includes a bid bond/security, acknowledgement of addenda, and a non-collusion affidavit. The sealed bids will be received until 2:00 pm on September 19, 2024, with the bid award expected on October 1, 2024, and the entire project must be completed by November 15, 2024. The evaluation criteria will focus on the grand total bid amount, and the successful bidder must be prepared to submit additional documentation within 10 business days of contract award. Key requirements include connecting the new unit to existing electrical systems and ductwork, and ensuring thermostat control of the heating unit.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on bidder types are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the project will require technical expertise in HVAC installation and public works construction. The contractor must be prepared to provide a statutory public works bond, performance and payment bond, and certificate of insurance as part of the contract requirements. Liquidated damages will be assessed for late completion of the work, indicating the city's emphasis on timely project execution. Though the exact budget range is not specified in the provided documents, the project involves a significant infrastructure upgrade for the water filtration plant. Potential bidders should be capable of handling municipal infrastructure projects and possess the necessary technical skills to integrate the new heating unit with existing systems while meeting all specified technical and procedural requirements.
