Cincinnati State requests to replace the chiller and associated mechanical, HVAC controls, electrical, and communications work required for the replacement of the chiller on the roof of the Workforce Development Center building at the Evendale Campus. The project scope includes converting the chilled water system from a constant speed to variable speed system, providing a more energy efficient system and prolonging the life of the new chiller.
The Workforce Development Center (WDC) at Cincinnati State provides short term industry-relevant training for individuals and organizations. The WDC builds and delivers training that is custom designed to help corporate and adult learner clients succeed in their organization. Our training programs combine state of the art classrooms and training labs; up to date workplace tools; real world simulations; and hands-on, practical instruction delivered by experienced industry professionals. This customer experience has been negatively impacted by the inability to properly cool the building. Replacing the chiller will allow Cincinnati State to better serve current and prospective corporate and adult learner clients.
Supplier selection process is in accordance with institutional purchasing guidelines in accordance with the State of Ohio and Cincinnati State Technical and Community College bid requirements. A project RFP was issued, and DeBra-Kuempel Inc. was the lowest bidder.
