PWB Fire Pump and Generator Replacement

The University of Minnesota is seeking a construction services provider to replace the fire pump and generator in the Philip-Wangensteen Building. The project includes replacing the existing 150 HP fire pump, fuel oil transfer pumps, and generators, as well as upgrading the fuel containment piping and replacing associated automatic transfer switches and controls. The selected respondent will be required to work with the University's project team to ensure compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and University standards. The project has a total construction budget of $7,500,000 and is expected to be substantially complete by November 24, 2027. Key considerations for the project include site logistics, required permitting, and safety protocols. • The project requires a lump sum contract with a fixed price for all costs necessary to complete the work. • The University has established a targeted business and community economic development program to enhance equal employment and business opportunities for underutilized businesses. • Respondents are required to submit a proposal that includes their team's qualifications, project approach, and work plan, as well as a detailed project schedule and cost estimate. • The University will evaluate proposals based on factors such as the respondent's experience, project approach, and cost estimate, as well as their commitment to targeted business and community economic development.
