The City of Minneapolis is seeking a qualified vendor to supply packaged direct‑expansion (DX) cooling units identified as “PW PS9” along with associated grilles and a servicing‑tools kit. The contract is a sealed, single‑award procurement where the lowest responsive and responsible bidder will be awarded. The vendor must deliver the equipment within 35 weeks of contract award, provide all required documentation, meet extensive technical specifications (≥ 120,000 BTU h cooling capacity, R‑454B refrigerant, 460 V 3‑phase power, etc.), and satisfy numerous compliance requirements (Minnesota responsible‑contractor statutes, PFAS prohibition, living‑wage ordinance, insurance, tax‑exemption documentation). Installation is performed by City staff; the vendor’s responsibility ends at delivery of a complete, ready‑to‑install unit. • Supply three line‑item items: one packaged cooling unit, two grilles, and one servicing‑tools kit. • Must meet performance specs: steel enclosure, scroll‑type hermetic compressor, R‑454B refrigerant, multi‑speed EC motors, 460 V 3‑phase power, MERV‑8 filters, and optional heat‑pump features. • Delivery deadline is 35 weeks after award; all taxes/fees must be included in the bid price, and the vendor must hold a valid ST‑3 exemption certificate. • Mandatory compliance with Minnesota statutes, PFAS ban, living‑wage ordinance, insurance minimums, and warranty provisions (1‑year warranty on compressor, parts, and labor).
