Chiller Replacement Roybal Campus 75D301-26-R-73398
Summary
AI-generated · Feb 05, 2026Design-build construction services are sought to modernize the central plant and replace four chillers at the CDC Roybal campus in Atlanta. Replace four existing 1,450-ton chillers with 1,800-ton units, replace eight cooling towers, and install four chilled-water pumps. Because the central plant operates 24/7 and campus demands require that only two chillers be shut down at a time, bypass piping must be installed to facilitate shutdowns. Electrical scope includes two new motor control centers, replacement of medium-voltage starters, and recircuiting, with additional work on building automation systems, fire protection, architectural and structural components. The design-build team will deliver complete construction design documents and full construction services, including management, bonds, insurance, CPM schedules, health and safety plans, quality control, submittal development and review, coordination drawings, construction administration, security and logistics, procurement of tools and materials, training, warranties, and record documents.
Procurement is anticipated to be unrestricted, using a best-value tradeoff for a firm-fixed-price contract under FAR Part 15. The project magnitude is over $10 million. Firms must be US-based with offices in the continental US and SAM-registered. An eight-page narrative response is requested from qualified firms, detailing capabilities, bonding levels, and experience with central-plant renovations of similar size (over $10 million). Responses are not bids and are not binding; they should be submitted via email to the designated CDC contact by the stated deadline. Feedback on submissions will not be provided.
