Replacement Coil Installation

This Request for Proposals (RFP) is issued by the University Of Kentucky to solicit proposals from qualified, experienced, financially sound and responsible firms to provide labor, materials, equipment, and all other costs associated to install Owner provided coils for air handlers in various buildings. Pricing is sought for three separate packages of work. The total work is divided into three discreet installation packages to shorten the schedule for completion of the entire project. Work for the three installation packages will proceed concurrently with the simultaneous replacement of coils in one air handler in each package (a total of three air handlers) on the same weekend. Proposers may submit proposals for one, two, or all three installation packages. Proposers submitting pricing for more than one package should be prepared to have separate crews working simultaneously on the same weekends on the multiple installation packages. Work will be scheduled so that coils are replaced in one air handler from each installation package during the same work week. Work in different buildings will happen concurrently. All outages will be coordinated at least 2 weeks in advance with the UK outage coordinator and will take place during off hours if needed. Offerors should include in their proposals the picking up of coils from their storage area, UK Vaughan Warehouse (1247 Versailles Road), delivering and unloading of coils to the work site, and moving the coils to the appropriate rooms containing the air handlers. Crane location will need to be coordinated with the UK Project Manager, UK Medical Center Physical Plant Department, UK Parking, and UK security. Piping should be replaced at each location from the highest point of the header to the coil, continuing with the header size, no reductions until the taps come off the mains. Copper, brass, Victaulic couplings, and isolation valves should be the materials utilized for this work. All air vents and drain connections should be reinstalled and operation verified to ensure proper drainage. Offerors shall provide confirmation that the installation of all coils will adhere to and be compliant with the installation guidelines provided by the manufacturer, the Cooney Freeze Block Installation and Operation Guide for The University of Kentucky to achieve the 30-month warranty is represented as Attachment E. UK maintenance staff will be responsible for draining the existing coils prior to the contractor start time and for filling the coils once installed and venting any air in the system. Coils should be balanced after installation to ensure flow rates are met. A balance report should be submitted to the project manager for each coil. The successful offeror(s) will be responsible for disposal of any removed equipment and should follow University recycling program guidelines Question Deadline 04/25/2023 at 10:00 AM ET
