Richmond Chillers Replacement

The project involves the in-kind replacement of the existing four-chiller system at a facility in Richmond, California, under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Public Health. The scope encompasses the removal and installation of all four chillers, with work carried out in two distinct phases: chillers one and two will be installed and fully commissioned before proceeding with the replacement of chillers three and four. Associated systems including pumps, electrical service, low voltage controls, and miscellaneous piping will be analyzed for condition and performance, with recommendations provided for their potential replacement or upgrade. All new chiller units will be mounted on the existing concrete pads to minimize structural modifications. The project is being managed with oversight from the California Department of Public Health and the Department of General Services, with key coordination points including Donna Bacich as Assistant Division Chief and Joyesh Chandra as Project Director. The solicitation is listed as a forecast with no set-aside designation, and the anticipated timeline places the announcement date in October 2025.
