Create free accountREQUIREMENT: The Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre (PARC) in Agassiz, BC requires the services to upgrade one of the building control panels. This will include all parts and labour to upgrade the panel. The existing panel hardware is obsolete.
ESC Automation performed the initial hardware installation and programming of the building controls when the building was initially constructed. The building controls utilize software proprietary to ESC and; therefore, no other company would be able to diagnose and correct building control problems as quickly and as efficiently as ESC. As a result, a sole source contract with ESC is required to maintain compatibility with the existing product.
SCOPE OF WORK: The work will include: - Supply and install of new Bacnet version 3.40 eBMGR controller to replace the existing CP2 obsolete DCU controller in panel 2; - Supply and install of 4 new DAC Micro replacement controllers to replace the 4 existing V2 Micro’s on the CP2 subnet; - Supply and install of 5 new Bacnet LCD adjustable display room controllers to replace the 5 existing V2 LCD display room controllers serving the heat pumps on the CP2 subnet; - Supply and install of 6 new DAC Controllers to replace the 6 existing V2 controllers controlling the Fan Coils on the CP2 subnet; - Supply and install of 4 new Bacnet VAV controllers to replace the 4 existing V2 VAV controllers on the CP2 subnet; - Updates to controls re-commissioning, programming, and graphics; and - One year warranty.
CONTRACT PERIOD: From Date of Award and shall be completed prior to March 31, 2015.
CONTRACT VALUE: Estimated Value: $29,439.90 CAD (including GST).
PROPOSED CONTRACTOR: ESC Automation Inc. 17850 – 56th Ave. Surrey, BC V3S 1C7
SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION: ESC Automation performed the initial installation and programming of the building controls when the building was initially constructed. With the building control software being proprietary, only one firm is capable of performing the contract without replacing the current software package and then reprogramming the building controls to integrate with the replacement software. Due to operational requirement, the time on the part of AAFC facility maintenance staff alone to support a reconfiguration of replacement software would be extremely onerous.
