Quick Summary
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is soliciting design-build services for the Chiller Replacement Roybal Campus project in Atlanta, GA.

Purpose & Scope
The objective is to provide complete design-build services to replace four existing 1,450-ton chillers with new 1,800-ton chillers, replace nine cooling towers with eight new ones, and upgrade associated primary and condenser water pumps, electrical systems (medium and low voltage), Building Automation System (BAS) controls, structural elements, and fire protection. A critical requirement is phased execution to maintain continuity of campus operations, ensuring no more than two chillers are removed from service at any time. The project aims to deliver a fully commissioned and documented facility.
