Renovation of an educational facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Completed plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

This project is being let using the single prime bidding and contracting process. DFD will publicly bid the applicable mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection (MEP) divisions of work first. Within 5 days of the MEP bid opening, DFD will identify a lowest, qualified, responsible, certified bidder in each applicable MEP division of work. These successful MEP bids must be included in all general prime contractor bids received. No later than 5 days after DFD identifies the successful MEP bids, DFD will publicly open general prime contractor bids. General prime contractor bids that do not include the successful MEP bids will be rejected. The state will enter into a single contract with the lowest, qualified, responsible, certified general prime contractor and this general prime contractor will enter into subcontracts with the successful MEP bidders. In general, the work consists of replacement of the existing, seventeen-year-old HVAC chiller systems located within the six-story, Kenilworth Square East (KSE) building. The project work includes replacement of (3) air-cooled, chiller units that are beyond their service life and require extraordinary maintenance and frequent repair. New, air-cooled chillers with remote evaporators will be provided. The existing piping, electrical connections and controls will be replaced as required for the new units Bid Guarantee in the amount of 10% of the Bid must accompany each bid submitted. 2017-2019 Wisconsin State Budget (2017 Wisconsin Act 59) repealed Wisconsin's prevailing wage laws. Effective September 23, 2017, state prevailing wage requirements on state building projects no longer apply. These changes take effect for projects advertised for bid after September 23, 2017. This change does not affect the Federal Davis Bacon Act requirements
