Background:
The Adult Correctional Facility (ACF) Men’s Section, located at 1145 Shenandoah Lane in Plymouth, MN, was originally built in 1930 and encompasses over 270,000 square feet. This facility houses residents’ year-round and is used for Department of Community Corrections and Rehabilitation administration and other operations. The building was heated by three (3) dual-fuel 250-horsepower steam boilers, originally installed in the 1930’s with subsequent burner upgrades. Currently, the building’s heating needs are met through hot water, facilitated by steam-to-hot water exchangers and hot water boilers. Phase I of this project, completed in November of 2024 removed one existing steam boiler and installed two new dual-fuel condensing boilers.
The project consists of completing the dual-fuel natural gas/fuel oil condensing boiler plant designed to efficiently serve the entire facility. This includes the integration of hot water piping into the existing infrastructure tied to the steam-to-hot water heat exchangers which are to be demolished as noted on the mechanical plans. Two remaining steam boilers will be demolished, and two new dual-fuel condensing boilers will be installed, completing the new four boiler plant. Hot water pumps and all appurtenances as noted on the plans shall be provided and installed by the contractor.
In addition, this project will also upgrade air handling units, roof top units, and unit heaters across the campus. These units will be served by the new boiler plant as well as an upgraded and relocated chiller plant. Switching these units to hot and chilled water will greatly reduce the energy consumption at the campus.
Through a best value procurement process, a Request for Proposals was released on December 17, 2024. Three (3) proposals were received. Based on the results of interviews, cost, and written submittals, Sheehy Construction Company, received the highest score, and is recommended for this project.
