Chiller Installation and Mechanical Integration

The contract entails the complete removal of an existing chiller unit and the installation of a new one, with full mechanical integration into existing glycol storage tanks, seawater circulation loops, pumping systems, and associated piping infrastructure. The scope requires precise coordination to ensure seamless operation between the new chiller and the facility’s thermal management systems, demanding expertise in industrial refrigeration, fluid dynamics, and system balancing. All work must comply with industry standards for safety, efficiency, and durability, and includes testing and commissioning to verify performance under operational conditions. This is a subcontract set aside exclusively for small businesses under the SBA’s Total Small Business Set-Aside designation, classified under NAICS code 238220 for mechanical contracting.
