South Campus HVAC Upgrades

The Rowan‑Cabarrus Community College South Campus HVAC Upgrades project calls for a single‑prime contractor to replace two aging chillers (31‑ and 24‑year‑old units) with modular high‑efficiency chillers, replace air‑handling units in buildings S201 and S202, upgrade pneumatic controls to direct‑digital controls, and modernize the Building Automation System (BAS) software to the college standard. An optional alternate adds heat‑recovery capability to the new chiller and replaces the S202 boiler. The scope includes full demolition of existing equipment, installation of new mechanical systems, associated piping, controls, and commissioning. All work must comply with North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 87, state General Terms and Conditions, and must be performed while the campus remains occupied, requiring temporary HVAC and power services. Bids are to be submitted electronically (PDF, ≤20 MB) by 3:00 p.m. on 29 Sept 2026; a pre‑bid meeting was held on 28 July 2026, and questions were due by 11 Aug 2026.
