AIR CONDITIONING, HEATING REFRIGERATION SERVICES (CITYWIDE)

The City of Kenner is soliciting proposals under RFP 26-6988 for citywide air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration services. The scope of work is for labor-only services, including the repair and troubleshooting of various HVAC systems, commercial refrigeration, and low and high pressure chiller systems. While the contractor may procure parts, the City allows a 0% markup on invoice costs. The initial contract term is 12 months starting February 15, 2027, with a potential extension for an additional year, totaling up to 36 months, and a provision for month-to-month extensions pending new solicitations. Award selection is based on a weighted evaluation of 100 points, with 60 points allocated to the technical proposal—split equally between performance approach and qualifications—and the remainder based on the financial proposal. Proposers must submit a comprehensive package including a cover letter, technical proposal, project schedule, and a price schedule by November 19, 2026. Key requirements include maintaining Louisiana statutory workers compensation insurance with specific employer liability limits, adhering to strict non-discrimination and civil rights regulations, and providing certifications regarding firearm entity non-discrimination for contracts exceeding 100,000 dollars. Payments are processed approximately 30 days after the submission of a detailed invoice following project completion, and the contract's continuance is subject to fund appropriation by the Kenner City Council.
