Removal and Replacement of Social Science Heat Exchanger Bundle

The College of New Jersey issued a single‑lump‑sum construction solicitation (AB260002) to replace the heat‑exchanger bundle serving the Social Science Building. Four contractors were awarded portions of the work, with a combined contract value of roughly $424 k. The scope includes complete removal of the existing heat‑exchanger shell and tube bundle, disposal, cleaning, installation of a new assembly, new valve and piping work, re‑insulation, commissioning, and final close‑out documentation. The project is short‑duration (15 days) and must comply with NJ prevailing‑wage rules, bonding, insurance, and warranty requirements. • Mechanical/HVAC replacement on a campus heating loop (steam‑heated, nitrate‑treated city water). • Full demolition, disposal, and installation of a new heat‑exchanger assembly plus associated piping and valves. • Multiple small‑business contractors awarded; each must provide bonding, insurance, and EMR ≤ 1.25.
