UW Facilities, Project Delivery Group, will be issuing an Advertisement for RFP for GC/CM Services sometime in September 2025 for the UWMC ML Energy Efficiency Upgrades project. The project scope includes delivering energy efficiency improvements across multiple mechanical rooms located on both the roof and in the basement of the UW Medical Center – Montlake. Scope of work includes replacing outdated pneumatic controls with direct digital controls (DDC), installing variable frequency drives (VFDs), removing obsolete vortex actuators, and upgrading dampers, actuators, and reheat valves. Control logic will be modernized to ensure BACnet interoperability and to support data acquisition and performance monitoring. As the facility is an active, occupied hospital, all construction activities must be carefully coordinated to maintain patient safety, minimize disruption to medical operations, and integrate the mechanical upgrades efficiently with ongoing hospital functions with an approximately project value of $8,000,000.00.
