Energy Project RFP Alert - US ME - The University Of Maine System RFP - Biomass District Heating System

Alert Type:
RFP

Description:
The University of Maine System acting on behalf of the University of Maine at Fort Kent (UMFK), in collaboration with Maine School Administrative District 27 (MSAD 27), is seeking proposals for engineering design services from individual firms or teams for the Pleasant Street Academy Biomass District Heating System Project. This Request for Proposals (RFP) states the instructions for submitting proposals, the procedure and criteria by which a vendor may be selected and the contractual terms by which the University intends to govern the relationship between it and the selected vendor. Scope: The project involves the purchase and installation of a large district biomass heating
system that will be connected by underground hot water pipes to nine university buildings (together, the “UMFK Facilities”), and two high school building systems (together the “MSAD 27 Facilities”). In addition, the heating plant may be sized to accommodate other buildings in the area as well, such as the Elementary School and CHIPPY daycare center. Currently, a substantial portion of these buildings are heated with No. 2 heating oil. Market forecasts of this commodity are difficult to forecast, and past index rate performance have trended steadily upward, making the costs of heating our university and school buildings during Maine winters an ever increasing financial burden on operating budgets. The selected firm will provide design services on a project team in support of construction as managed by the Office of Facilities Management (FM) at UMFK. This RFP seeks qualified firms to submit proposals with the intention of providing these services for the duration of the project from January 2013 to its anticipated completion by June 2014. If the design causes any exterior view alterations, it is anticipated to match the existing buildings for materials, construction methods and aesthetics. The project will be a Fast-Track process, constructed through a Construction Manager at Risk method, and has a target of commissioning completion by January 2014, with follow up on decommissioning work completing in the summer of 2014. Design for the project will begin immediately following execution of a design agreement with the selected firm or lead firm. Individual firms or teams desiring to be considered should submit a letter indicating interest and the ability to start work immediately.
This project has been funded through a grant award from the USDA web site,
