Police Facility Boiler Replacements

This contract concerns the complete replacement of two boilers at the Village of Hoffman Estates Police Facility. The work is “all‑inclusive,” meaning the awarded contractor must supply all labor, materials, equipment, and related services to remove the existing units and install new ones, adhering to municipal specifications. The procurement was a sealed‑bid competitive solicitation with a 10 % bid bond requirement, and Advantage Mechanical Inc. was selected with a bid of $197,308. The municipality encourages participation from minority‑ and women‑owned businesses, though no set‑aside designation was applied. Key points for potential competitors include: • Scope: Full demolition of two existing boilers and installation of new, presumably oil‑ or gas‑fired units at a police facility. • Budget range: Lowest verified bid $197k; highest bids in the tabulation approached $316k, indicating a mid‑size project. • Schedule: Vendors estimated start‑up windows ranging from 2 to 6 weeks after award and a total installation period of 2–3 weeks. • Requirements: 10 % bid bond, 1‑year warranty on materials and labor (some vendors offered extended heat‑exchanger warranties).
