Gonda Center Deep Energy Project (RE-BID)

The University of California, Los Angeles is seeking a qualified contractor to retrofit the Gonda Center’s mechanical and lighting systems to achieve roughly a 45 % reduction in annual energy consumption. The work involves converting laboratory air‑handling units from constant‑volume to variable‑air‑flow, installing occupancy sensors, upgrading control strategies, replacing fluorescent fixtures with LEDs, and performing associated demolition, ceiling work, and finish painting. The contract is a lump‑sum sealed‑bid, limited to pre‑qualified bidders, and must comply with California public‑work labor and prevailing‑wage requirements. • Upgrade HVAC (AHU conversion, VAV exhaust, control optimization) and replace lighting with LED fixtures. • Perform demolition, ceiling removal/re‑installation, and patch‑and‑paint of impacted wall areas. • Conduct an as‑built air survey, and manage night/off‑shift work in a fully operational research building.
