UNC-RFQ-26-01 - Renovate Variable Flow Chilled Water Systems, Michener and Candelaria

The University of Northern Colorado is requesting a Statement of Qualification from
Architect/Engineer/Consultant for the preparation of a Controlled Maintenance
project named 2026-042M25 Renovate Variable Flow Chilled Water Systems,
Michener and Candelaria - Phase 1 of 2. Phase 1 for Michener Library is funded;
Phase 2 Candelaria Hall may be funded at a future date. UNC intends to extend the
Phase 1 A/E Agreement to future phases as they are funded.
Background
The James A. Michener Library is 221,000 square feet and located at 1400 22nd St in
Greeley. The Michener Library, completed in 1971, serves as a centerpiece of the
University of Northern Colorado campus. New chillers were installed at Phase 1
Michener, and Phase 2 Candelaria in 2024. The chiller replacement project did not
have adequate funding to update the Chilled Water system to variable flow and as a
result are not maximizing the potential energy savings capability of the new chillers
