Riverside University Health System – Public Health Administration Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Upgrade Project

The Riverside University Health System – Public Health Administration facility at 4065 County Circle Drive in Riverside, California, is undergoing a comprehensive HVAC system upgrade to replace aging, inefficient equipment that has exceeded 35 years of service and is no longer cost-effective to maintain. The project involves replacing four air handler systems, exhaust fans, associated ductwork, heat exchangers, evaporator and condenser coils, combustion chambers, blower motors, and ceiling grills, with all new components required to be compatible with existing infrastructure. The goal is to enhance system reliability, reduce long-term maintenance costs, and improve energy efficiency to better support the facility’s public health services without expanding its physical footprint. The work is being conducted under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) exemptions for existing facilities and the common sense exemption, confirming no significant environmental impact. The project is managed by Riverside County Facilities Management, with Mike Sullivan serving as the Senior Environmental Planner/Facilities Operations Manager and primary point of contact. While the scope, location, and environmental compliance basis are clearly defined, critical contractual details such as the estimated value, period of performance, payment terms, invoicing methods, contracting officer or technical representative assignments, and solicitation or contract numbers are not provided in the available documentation. No standard Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, packaging or marking requirements, quality inspection criteria, or contractor representations are included, indicating this is a publicly funded municipal project following state-level procurement and environmental protocols rather than federal acquisition regulations. The place of performance is firmly established as 92503, and while the project has been posted as a forecast with a November 2025 date, no submission deadlines, evaluation criteria, or award methodology have been disclosed, suggesting the procurement process is still in early stages or administered through non-traditional competitive channels.
