029-24 HVAC System Replacement #15861

Introduction

The Jackson Municipal Airport Authority ("JMAA") is seeking bids for construction and related services for the HVAC System Replacement project (the "Work") at Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport. This project is anticipated to receive a Bi-Partisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The selected firm must be familiar with the process and required documentation associated with the FAA’s grant process. This includes, but is not limited to, FAA grant assurances, FAA airport design standards, 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 77 airspace requirements, as well as familiarization with applicable FAA Orders, Advisory Circulars (AC), and Interim Guidance.

Project Background

The current HVAC system at the JMAA terminal is reaching the end of its operational life, leading to frequent failures of several system components. One notable incident occurred during one of the hottest weeks of 2023, where a system failure left most of the terminal without air conditioning for an extended period. This resulted in significant discomfort for passengers, tenants, stakeholders, and visiting members of the public. Recognizing the critical role of a functional HVAC system in ensuring passenger comfort and positive customer relations with tenants, stakeholders, and the community, JMAA considers the replacement of the HVAC system essential to enhancing the overall passenger experience.

Scope of Work

The scope entails the central chiller and boiler plant upgrade at JMAA airport. The work includes the removal of existing chillers, pumps, cooling towers, heat exchangers, and hot water boilers from the chiller and boiler rooms, to be replaced with new units featuring redundancy and the latest controls, in compliance with the mechanical and other codes. Implementation of phasing will be incorporated for continuous chilled water and hot water supply during the renovation phase.
