BAS BPA Amendment 1 SOW 240614.pdf

Region 6 BAS BPA for 5 Years

June 14, 2024

BACKGROUND

The intended purpose of this SOW is to perform the following:

JACE 8000 or JACE 9000:

Replace all Johnson Controls Metasys NAE/NCE’s or similar network controllers with Niagara JACE 8000 or JACE 9000 network controllers. Replicate all existing programming that is currently being used. Provide Niagara drivers to Metasys drivers to the existing N2 bus for communications to field controllers and add a newly configured Niagara server to provide better control and functionality of the existing HVAC control system. The only approved replacement device for the existing NAE/NCE style devices will be a JACE 8000 running the latest approved version GSA approved version. The installed JACE 8000 or JACE 9000 must have an open NIC in its license.

Service Maintenance Agreements:

Install Service Maintenance Agreements (SMA) for the existing Niagara JACE 8000’s and JACE 9000’s located in Region 6. Service maintenance agreements play an important role in maintaining up to date versions of the building automation software to ensure all security measures are kept current. The contractor will install the 3 Year SMA Renewal agreements for the following JACEs and Soft JACE. These are set at 3-year renewals to bring them back up to date.

Niagara Edge Air Handler and VAV Controllers:

Replace the existing EOL Network air handler and vav controllers with Non-preparatory Niagara Edge10 air handler controllers and Non-preparatory Niagara vav controllers for trimming of ventilation programming per ASHRAE 36. This will provide standardized sequences of operation for heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems which will maximize HVAC system energy efficiency and performance, provide control stability, and allow for real-time fault detection and diagnostics. The trimming of ventilation programming reset strategy is applied for control of the static air pressure and air temperature setpoints.

Standardized advanced control sequences provide benefits including reduced programming time, reduced energy consumption, system downtime and improved indoor air quality.

3) Basic Considerations

a. When configuring BAS software for the GSA, the virtual environment of the BSN should be understood, and the system should be configured to best meet the requirements and challenges the BSN produces. This includes the desire of the GSA to build a single server to run all applications needed for building control including server and client software

4) Specific BAS software Salient Characteristics

a. Software shall be compatible and contain the following salient characteristics found in other buildings and shall be adhered to in providing a product solution for the Zorinsky Federal Building.

§ Salient characteristics of building automation platform:

§ Driver framework to include:

§ Basic Driver Framework § Dev Driver Framework § nDriver Framework

§ Scheduling:

§ Hx Scheduler § Wbapplet Scheduler

§ Alarming:

§ Event Service § Hx Alarm Console § Wbapplet Alarm Console § AX Alarm DB Manager

§ Data Trending and Management § Queryable BQL DB § AZ Export Tags § History Transforms § AX Charting § AX History DB Manager

§ User Interface § Built in graphics library § SVG File Format Support § Hx HTML UI Profile § Wbapplet Java UI Profile § BajaScript v1.0

§ Security § Certificate Manager § LDAPv2 § LDAPv3 § Configurable Password Strength Parameters

§ BACnet, LonWorks, Modbus open-source protocols § Virtual server capable using software licenses § Use of Active Directory account logins

5) Open-Source Protocol Requirements

a. Open-source protocol requirements are limited to the following:

§ BACnet § LonMark

b. Open-source devices must conform to existing open-source protocols found within the facility without deviation

c. Because Layer 2 network traffic cannot be effectively managed at this time on the GSA network between subnets, BACnet/Ethernet is expressly prohibited from being implemented on the GSA WAN. BACnet/Ethernet can be used at a given field site, provided all devices are on the same subnet.

d. All device instance numbers associated with a BACnet network must be unique. This can be challenging on the GSA network because a vendor installing a BACnet system is likely not aware of the device instances of other BACnet systems that have devices, which may be discoverable over the GSA WAN

e. To prevent BACnet collisions, systems with BACnet devices communicating on the network must comply with the GSA’s UDP port range requirements. 24 unique UDP ports have been assigned to each region. Vendors must coordinate with the region on any additional details regarding UDP port designations within these ranges as their individual management requirements may differ (building based, vendor based, etc.)

f. Multicasting is not allowed on the GSA WAN, and shall not be applied when configuring a BACnet system on the GSA network

DELIVERABLES

The contractor shall coordinate all proposed work schedules, construction schedules with the GSA representatives upon contract award. Operation and Maintenance manuals and Warranties are due upon completion.

1. Work schedule prior to beginning any work

2. Proper notification for permission to proceed with work

3. Installation of new JACE 8000 or JACE 9000 controllers

4. Installation of Non-preparatory Niagara Edge-10 air handler controllers

5. Installation of Non-preparatory Niagara Edge vav controllers

6. Any and all new wiring and network connections MUST be added by the contractor

7. Network diagrams

8. Programming of air handlers

9. Sequence of operations

10. Create new BAS air handler and vav graphics

11. Post deployment building automation backup of previous and new platforms to the building manager and GSA Region 6 Smart Buildings Team

12. Clearance documents along with ENT credentials

13. All hardware and device submittals for products added to the building automation system

14. All Applicable licenses

15. VSI in GSAs name

16. Post deployment building automation backup of previous and new platforms to the building manager and GSA region 6 smart buildings team

17. Clearance documents along with ENT credentials

18. All hardware and device submittals for products added to the building automation system.

CONTRACTOR DELIVERIES

All deliveries are the contractor’s responsibility. The contractor shall coordinate all project related deliveries to the GSA Point of Contact prior to the delivery, specifying the date and time. Also, the contractor shall be responsible for off and on loading equipment and materials.

SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION AND FINAL INSPECTION

When the service contract is complete the contractor shall request a final review of documented services to include but not be limited to monthly work progress as identified in the Monthly meeting minutes. Upon receipt of request that service contract is substantially complete, the Contracting Officer will proceed with the inspection within ten days of receipt of request or will advise the contractor of items that prevent the service contract from being designated substantially complete.

PROJECTED SCHEDULE

This project shall be allotted 90 days for inspections and initial submittals, 360 days for the completed items and 90 days for final inspection and project close out.

WARRANTY

Contractor shall warrant work, materials, and equipment for a period of one year at minimum and provide additional periods on materials if applicable.
