HVAC Replacement at Smithsburg High School

This contract involves the complete replacement of the heating, ventilation, and air‑conditioning (HVAC) system at Smithsburg High School, a public K‑12 facility in Smithsburg, MD. The Washington County Public Schools Purchasing Department issued a competitive bid (Bid No. 2021‑08) that attracted at least four qualified contractors, with Waynesboro Construction Company, Inc. ultimately awarded the contract. The scope covers the installation of new HVAC equipment, associated ductwork, controls, and related building‑services infrastructure, with several optional alternates for supplemental work. The awarded base price is approximately $5.49 million, and when all listed alternates are considered, the potential total reaches roughly $7.96 million. The project reflects a typical public‑sector, firm‑fixed‑price procurement for a large‑scale building‑systems upgrade. • Primary scope: full HVAC system replacement for a high school. • Awarded to: Waynesboro Construction Company, Inc. (single‑award). • Estimated contract value: ~$5.5 M base, up to ~$8 M with alternates. • Procurement type: full and open competition with multiple bidders. • Likely a lump‑sum, firm‑fixed‑price contract for a public‑education facility.
