Ultraviolet-C Light Installation In Hvac

The Hawaii State Department of Health is seeking proposals for the installation of Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) lighting systems throughout the HVAC infrastructure of the Hale Ho'ola Building at Hawaii State Hospital, with the goal of enhancing air quality and infection control. The project is formalized through a solicitation with a budget range of approximately 1 to 2 million dollars, emphasizing the need for qualified contractors to submit competitive bids by November 19, 2025. The scope involves detailed specifications for UV-C lamps, including models such as the RLM XTREME 61" high output encapsulamp, and encompasses installation requirements like interlocks, waterproof switches, warning signage, and specific mounting configurations, particularly within Air Handling Units (AHUs). Bidders are required to demonstrate their qualifications through detailed forms, including experience with similar projects and references from past work within the last five years. The contract mandates comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability and automobile insurance, with minimum coverage limits of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in aggregate, and stipulates that the State of Hawaii be named as an additional insured party. All insurance policies must be maintained throughout the project duration, with certificates of insurance provided prior to commencement and updated upon renewal. The procurement process also involves submitting tax documentation via Form W-9 and adhering to specific contractual and safety standards. Additional documents include bid forms for related projects, such as the replacement of air conditioning units at the hospital, and insurance requirements aligned with other municipal contracts, ensuring that all work is performed in compliance with state regulations and safety protocols.
