Fieldhouse HVAC Unit Replacement Project

The Cleveland Community College in North Carolina has issued a solicitation for the removal and replacement of the rooftop HVAC unit at the Yeti Athletics Complex. The project involves disconnecting existing equipment, safely removing refrigerants, and installing two new Trane rooftop units along with necessary roof curb adaptors, electrical components, and control reconnections. The contractor is responsible for providing all required lifts, rigging, testing, commissioning, and warranties, including a one-year warranty on parts and labor and a five-year compressor warranty. The work must be completed within 60 calendar days from the issuance of the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $100 per day for delays beyond the deadline. The contract is a firm-fixed-price type with an estimated value between $150,000 and $300,000, and it emphasizes compliance with federal and state regulations, including licensing, safety, and environmental standards. Payment procedures specify that invoices be submitted to a designated address, with payments processed within 30 days of approval and final settlement within 45 days after project acceptance, submission of as-built documents, and receipt of a notarized affidavit confirming all costs have been paid. The contract includes detailed scope requirements such as proper lockout/tagout procedures, refrigerant disposal, electrical disconnection, and site cleanup. It also mandates adherence to OSHA and North Carolina Department of Labor safety standards, obtaining necessary permits, and providing comprehensive submittals, including operation and maintenance manuals. The contractor must guarantee workmanship for 12 months and ensure the site is restored to its original condition upon completion. Additional contractual conditions include mandatory licensing, minority business participation goals, insurance coverage, and provisions for contract termination or work suspension if standards are not met. The project aims to enhance the HVAC system's reliability and efficiency while maintaining strict compliance with legal, safety, and environmental regulations.
