PROCUREMENT OVERVIEW

The Los Angeles Community College District is seeking bids for two significant infrastructure improvement projects at their Central Utility Plant (CUP) in Monterey Park, California. The first project, the Central Plant Improvement, aims to enhance cooling capacity by upgrading the existing CUP, which currently utilizes a 1000-ton centrifugal chiller and a chilled water thermal energy storage tank. Key upgrades include replacing chilled water pumps, condenser pumps, and portions of the condenser piping, as well as ensuring compliance with current codes and standards, including life safety systems and structural improvements. The second project, the Hydronic Line Replacement, focuses on replacing the entire chilled and hot water distribution piping system, primarily located in an underground tunnel. This project will adopt a phased approach to minimize disruptions, and it includes minor tunnel repairs and upgrades to tunnel lighting.
