Law and Justice Boiler Replacement Project

Lewis County is seeking qualified vendors to support the first phase of a comprehensive HVAC system upgrade at our facility, with an immediate focus on boiler replacement. The current system has experienced critical failures, and ensuring redundancy and reliability is a top priority. This project will include the decommissioning and removal of the existing electric and gas boilers. The new boilers will be located indoors to improve maintenance access and system resilience.This project will be evaluated based on several key factors, including:Cost-effectivenessMinimization of downtimeEnergy efficiency measuresContractor availability and parts lead timesExperience and ReferencesWe are particularly interested in proposals that align with the Washington Clean Air Act (RCW 70A.15) and support compliance with the Washington State Clean Buildings Standard (RCW 19.27A). While boiler replacement is the immediate need, we view this as a strategic opportunity to begin transitioning toward a more efficient and compliant mechanical system.Proposals that incorporate energy-saving features—such as heat recovery systems, VFDs, or other innovative solutions—are highly encouraged. If feasible, we are also interested in pursuing grant funding to support this work, which may require the installation of compliant, high-efficiency equipment.In short, we are looking for a vendor who can help us modernize our infrastructure, minimize future risk, and maximize operational uptime—all while laying the groundwork for long-term sustainability and compliance.Lewis County is accepting electronic submissions exclusively through OpenGov.
