ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS
Subject to conditions prescribed by the University of California, Los Angeles, sealed bids for a lump sum
contract from prequalified bidders are invited for the following work:
WASSERMAN OR BOOSTER CHILLER INSTALLATION
Project Number 35399-CP1513
DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The scope of work for this project includes the furnishing and installing of new
booster chiller equipment and associated pumps to serve the existing AHU-3 at the Wasserman
Building mechanical penthouse. The work also includes replacement of the existing cooling coil
and humidifier dispersion tubes serving AHU-3, along with all required mechanical, electrical,
controls, support, and testing work needed to place the system into operation.
Mechanical scope includes furnishing and installing a new water-cooled chiller, new chilled water
pumps, buffer tank, and related piping and accessories required for the new chilled water system.
The existing cooling coil and humidifier dispersion tubes serving AHU-3 will be replaced. The
project will also include testing and balancing by an independent AABC-certified agent.
Electrical scope includes providing a new electrical panel to serve the new equipment as required.
The new panel will be fed from an existing switchboard located on the lower level of the building.
New electrical conduits and supports will be routed from the lower level up to the penthouse to
provide power to the new equipment and associated accessories.
Architectural/demo scope includes temporary removal and replacement of existing ceiling tiles and
grid as needed to provide new conduits and supports. Existing hard-lid ceiling areas will also be
demolished where required to support conduit routing and installation. Since electrical conduits will
be routed vertically through the building shaft, the shaft area will be accessed as needed to
complete the conduit installation from the lower level to the penthouse. The work area is primarily
located on the west side of the roof within the mechanical penthouse, with additional work on the
fifth level and lower level as required for conduit routing, electrical connections, and access to
existing building infrastructure.
Due to the sensitive and occupied nature of the facility, all project work shall be performed during
nighttime hours, except for work within the roof penthouse, which may be performed during normal
working hours.
The estimated construction cost is $600,000.00.
