Chiller Replacement with DDC Controls System Design Opportunity at Phifer Hall

The contract involves designing a comprehensive replacement system for the existing air-cooled chiller and associated equipment at Phifer Hall on the Western Piedmont Community College main campus in North Carolina. The project includes assessing the current chiller system, exploring options for enhanced service and efficiency, and creating detailed drawings for the proposed solution. It also encompasses developing a scope of work, preparing bidding documents, overseeing construction through monitoring and inspections, and managing any necessary addendums. Additionally, the work involves evaluating the potential benefits of incorporating a spare chilled water pump or connecting to WPCC's existing systems versus developing a standalone unit, ensuring optimal system performance and reliability. The solicitation, titled "Chiller Replacement with DDC Controls System Design Opportunity at Phifer Hall," was posted on May 31, 2024, with a response deadline of June 13, 2024. The project is estimated to cost between $250,000 and $500,000 and is managed by Western Piedmont Community College under the North Carolina State and Local Government Education (SLED) sector. The scope emphasizes not only the technical design and planning but also the coordination of construction activities and project closeout documentation to ensure a seamless upgrade of the HVAC system with modern DDC controls integrated into the existing WPCC infrastructure.
