McKinney AHU Replacements

Collin County Community College District is soliciting bids for the replacement of existing Air Handlers within the Main Building of the McKinney Campus located at 2200 West University Drive, McKinney, Texas. The project involves the furnishing, installation, and operation of complete mechanical systems, including indoor central-station air handling units, ductwork, air outlets and inlets, and associated piping. To minimize disruption to campus operations, work must be performed during low occupancy periods such as Winter, Spring, or Summer breaks, with spot heating or cooling provided if occupied spaces are affected. The scope further includes electrical demolition, the installation of variable frequency motor controllers, anti-microbial ultraviolet light emitters, and a direct digital control Energy/Building Management System integrated with the existing central EMS. The contract is awarded based on best value rather than lowest price, with evaluation weights distributed across purchase price, references, ability to meet district needs, historical relationship, and other relevant factors. Technical requirements mandate strict adherence to NEMA, ANSI, ASHRAE, and NEC standards, with specific demands for high-efficiency motors and certified UV disinfection devices. The project includes a commissioning process to verify performance and two separate allowances of 80,000 dollars each for contingency and Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing services. Vendors must provide 24/7 on-call service with a four-hour response time for serious calls and ensure spare parts are locally stocked. All deliverables are F.O.B. Destination, with final acceptance occurring at the building site upon verification that all equipment is free of damage and compliant with specifications.
