Appalachian State University

Appalachian State University is seeking sealed proposals for the replacement of its main steam distribution line and associated vault access improvements on the Boone campus. The work will involve removal of existing steam pipe, installation of new pipe, modifications to vaults for maintenance access, and coordination with campus operations to minimize disruption. The project is scoped through detailed plans and specifications that can be obtained from the designer (Jacobs Engineering Group) during normal office hours. Bids must be submitted in sealed envelopes by 11:00 AM on September 29, 2026 at the university’s Planning, Design & Construction Facilities Annex. A pre‑bid meeting is scheduled for September 1, 2026 at 11:00 AM. • Replace existing main steam line with new, code‑compliant piping. • Provide new vault access points and safety features. • Coordinate shutdowns with campus utilities to limit impact on building services. • Follow all university construction safety and environmental policies. • Submit sealed proposals by the deadline; no electronic bids accepted.
