RFCSP752-26-1021CS Discovery Park New Chiller

The University of North Texas is seeking a qualified general‑construction contractor with full mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) capabilities to replace the existing chiller at the Discovery Park central utility plant. The contractor must supply and install a new water‑cooled chiller equal to or better than a Daikin 1,250‑ton unit, connect it to existing blind‑flange piping, provide all associated electrical gear per design drawings, and integrate with the campus Schneider Electric BMS (sub‑contracted). The project must adhere to all national, Texas, and UNT design‑and‑construction standards, start in May 2026, and achieve substantial completion by October 2027. • Scope includes full MEP installation, electrical gear, piping, controls, and commissioning coordination (commissioning and TAB will be procured separately). • Contractor must meet a 3.70 % VetHUB subcontracting goal and submit a separate HUB plan within 24 hours of the proposal. • Bids are sealed, electronic PDFs submitted via Jaggaer; no prerequisites or pre‑bid questions have been filed to date. • Evaluation will weigh price, schedule, qualifications, 24‑hour warranty response capability, safety record, and financial resources.
