SUNY Geneseo HVAC balancing and emergency-generator feasibility studies

SUNY Geneseo is seeking engineering consultants for HVAC balancing and emergency-generator feasibility studies at three campus dining halls. - Government buyer: State University of New York (SUNY), SUNY Geneseo, Planning, Design & Construction; Project L06154. - Locations: Letchworth, Mary Jemison, and Red Jacket Dining Halls in Geneseo, New York. - Requested services: Review HVAC conditions and renovation documents, assess later facility or operational changes, diagnose building-specific ventilation and air-balancing issues, and recommend corrective actions and an implementation plan. Full testing, adjusting, and balancing may be required. - Letchworth: Investigate temperature swings and kitchen exhaust/ventilation, including potential carbon monoxide concerns. - Mary Jemison: Investigate summer condensation, dishwashing-area heat and humidity, and differences between observed conditions and reported control-system readings. - Red Jacket: Address severe pressurization issues affecting exterior doors and ceiling tiles. - Emergency power: Assess full-building-load backup generation for all three halls, recommend equipment locations, and provide preliminary capital cost estimates. Final generator design and engineering may be requested separately. - Letchworth has an existing Generac 200 kW natural-gas generator, which is insufficient for the full building load. - Mary Jemison has no existing generator. - Red Jacket has an existing Cummins 85 kW natural-gas generator, which is insufficient for the full building load. - Named manufacturers and vendors: Generac, Cummins, and Carrier (existing controls); Day Automation is also mentioned in connection with air-handler sensors. No new equipment purchase is specified. - Other notable requirements: Consultant selection is based on qualifications; no initial fee proposal is requested. Participation goals are 5% SDVOB, 16% MBE, and 14% WBE.

Description

SUNY Geneseo is seeking Statements of Qualifications from engineering and design firms to assess HVAC systems and develop balancing recommendations for Letchworth, Mary Jemison, and Red Jacket Dining Halls. The consultant will review existing conditions and layouts, consider later physical or operational modifications, and recommend an implementation plan to address air-balancing issues. The work also includes evaluating the feasibility of emergency generators capable of supporting full building loads at all three facilities, with preliminary cost estimates and proposed equipment locations. SUNY Geneseo may request a separate fee proposal for final generator installation design and engineering at one or more facilities after the assessment.
