HVAC Controls Project #FY2027-PH# HVAC

Bulloch County Schools is soliciting proposals for the replacement of HVAC controls at Stilson Elementary School, Langston Chapel Elementary School, and Langston Chapel Middle School. The scope of work requires the vendor to furnish and install ethernet cabling across all buildings and implement a control system featuring individual and universal equipment control, customizable scheduling, peak demand limiting, and the ability to trend functions and alarms. Key deliverables include the installation of wall-mounted thermostats with local override capabilities and a comprehensive system commissioning process where 100% of devices are tested and documented via a written report. The vendor is also required to remove and preserve all existing terminal equipment controllers for return to the owner and provide up to eight hours of training for school employees. Proposals must be submitted in sealed envelopes to Ryan Macy by December 17, 2026, and must include building graphics and detailed warranty information. The award will be based on a scoring system where cost accounts for 70 points, demonstrated ability for 20 points, and remaining points allocated to the proposed warranty, owner training, and the submission of a bid bond. Financial requirements include a bid bond of 5 percent per location, and performance and payment bonds of 100 percent of the contract sum. All work must be completed by July 16, 2026, with payments issued net 30 days from acceptance, subject to a 10 percent retainage until full project completion and inspection.
