Description
The University of California Los Angeles is seeking a pre‑qualified prime contractor (CM‑at‑Risk) to install a new high‑efficiency electric centrifugal chiller and associated mechanical and electrical systems within its existing Cogeneration Plant. The work includes installing the chiller, primary & secondary chilled‑water pumps, a multi‑cell cooling tower on a steel platform, electrical integration with medium‑voltage distribution, control system tie‑ins, and commissioning. The project replaces aging steam‑driven chillers, expands cooling capacity, and supports UCLA’s sustainability and decarbonization goals.
• Mechanical installation: new electric chiller, pumps, cooling tower, piping modifications, phased de‑commissioning of legacy steam chillers.
• Electrical installation: step‑down transformer, variable‑frequency drive, new power service for pumps and fans, integration with plant DCS.
• Project constraints: work confined to existing plant footprint, must meet UC Fair Wage and prevailing‑wage requirements, and comply with California public‑works statutes.
