1. This document supersedes the previously issued RFP with bid opening date of March 20,2025. 2. Remove 4 Sanyo KMS1872 (7,500 BTU/h cooling capacity ea.) indoor wall mounted split type air-conditioning units (2 units located in Studio Room and 2 units located in Activity Room) and replace with equipment capable of providing adequate cooling for the affected spaces under reasonably foreseeable conditions. 3. Remove 2 outdoor units mounted on the building roof and replace with equipment compatible with new indoor units. 4. Install new mini-split power and control wiring connecting indoor and outdoor units. Total length of wiring runs is estimated to be 210’. This Includes 80’ in wire mold, 80’ in conduit and 50’ in concealed spaces with access panels. Wiring quantities are estimated and must be field verified by bidders. 5. Re-use existing refrigerant line sets. 6. It is assumed that Cold-Climate Heat Pumps will be installed in place of the AC only units currently in place. This assumption is based on the availability of rebates from Efficiency VT/VEIC for CCHP’s that are expected to make CCHP’s the least expensive option. 7. Replacement equipment must be sized to meet the cooling loads of the rooms, acceptable for Efficiency VT/VEIC rebates, suitable for commercial use, and the most recent generation of equipment available. The intent is to avoid unnecessarily early equipment failure, obsolescence or lack of service parts availability. 8. Proposed equipment specifications must be included in the bid proposal. Manufacturer, model number and capacity must all be listed.
