Bentley Dining Hall Consolidation

The Bentley Dining Hall Consolidation project at Lock Haven University involves comprehensive renovations to the ground and first floors of the dining hall, with work divided into separate prime contracts for general, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades. The scope includes demolishing existing walls, constructing new interior walls, and making minor roof infills. Mechanical work encompasses installing a new HVAC system with exhaust hoods and ductwork on the first floor, removing outdated systems on the ground floor, and upgrading the rooftop unit. Plumbing tasks involve providing new water supply and drainage systems for new fixtures, relocating sprinkler heads, and removing existing water, drainage, and gas piping. Electrical work includes installing new power, lighting, and IT infrastructure for the renovated areas while removing outdated systems on the ground floor. The project aims to modernize the facility while ensuring all systems are properly integrated and compliant with current standards. The solicitation, issued by the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, is open for bids until March 20, 2025, with project costs estimated between two and five million dollars. Contractors interested in participating can access detailed documents and submit their responses through the provided online portal.
