The original system includes a Carrier Furnace and a Lennox air cooled condensing unit. It is to be replaced with a geothermal pond loop source heat pump system. The project shall include: (1) demolition work; (2) all necessary electrical wiring; and (3) installation of heat pumps, circulating pumps, temperature controls, pond loop and underground piping to the building, ducting interior building piping, and an energy recovery ventilating unit. (4) Removal and replacement of existing lighting throughout the building with energy efficient lighting. (5) Removal and reinstallation of a suspended ceiling in a portion of the basement ceiling. (6) Sheet rock modifications, patching, and painting as necessary. Pre-Bid Conference is scheduled for May 25, 2006 at 9:00 am. Due to this project being a renovation of an HVAC system in an 18 year old building, there are no drawings that show all the electrical, mechanical and communications equipment, wiring, piping and ducting add-ons or as-builds and space limitations as currently exist in the building and especially in the lower level ceiling area, which is the area in which the ducting shall be run. The drawings developed for this project are as accurate as possible. Therefore, it is highly encouraged that all interested bidders attend the Pre-Bid Conference to have a common understanding of the design and space limitations. A site visit will be held to physically go through the building to clarify any questions that bidders may have at that time.
