Description
The Village Mechanical Systems Improvements project at Montclair State University calls for a single‑prime contractor to replace aging cast‑iron boilers with high‑efficiency condensing units, install new variable‑frequency drives on air‑handling and bathroom exhaust fans, and optimize existing pump VFDs across four residence‑hall buildings. The scope also includes concrete equipment pads, control panel integration with an AERCO EDGE controller, and full BMS (Automated Logic WebCTRL) retro‑fit. The contractor must manage demolition, installation, testing, commissioning, and provide comprehensive O&M manuals, warranties, and as‑built drawings. Key contractual requirements include a $5 M minimum HVACR classification, New Jersey public‑works registration, prevailing‑wage compliance, 10 % bid bond, 100 % performance/pay bonds, and a 208‑day construction schedule after the Notice to Proceed.
