DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM OR INFORMATION BEING REQUESTED

Please be specific as possible:

The SOW is not clear if you want the equipment vendor to provide a data management system to collect, store, and report the data or if you want the data to be integrated into an existing BMS. Do you want the vendor to provide a complete, seamless, plug-and-play, solution to include both the equipment and the data management software that can be accessed through an internet connection and is easily transferred via cellular signal?

If you want it connected to the VA’s BMS system, which protocol (Modbus, BACnet IP, etc.) will be utilized for data transfer?

PROJECT MANAGER’S RESPONSE

For the main campus, it will be connected to the VA BMS through BACnet IP. Contractor shall develop/build template in BMS (Metasys) to track and monitor real time data from all the points; and allow for VA to pull custom reports based off the data points; send out alerts.

For the two halfway homes (Burnett and Lombard), alerts of out of compliance, will come through cellular data; but have the capability to allow BACnet IP in the future. System shall provide a method of pulling data physically from device, and transmitting report data over cellular.
