12639526Q0094, Attachment 2 American Auto-Matrix, Distech Controls Building Automation System Service Contract National Center for Applied Plant Protection Building 580, 9901 Powder Mill Road, Laurel, MD 50708

Description:

The National Center for Applied Plant Protection (NCAPP) in Laurel, Maryland, is a world reference laboratory for plant diagnostic testing and deals with many complex diseases and pathogens that threaten agricultural and native plants. The BSL-2 and BSL-3 buildings at NCAPP are some of the most complex buildings within APHIS. The building automation control systems at NCAPP are an integral part of the guaranteed quarantine integrity of the specialized buildings and the continuance of the containment of BSL-3AG agricultural plant pathogens and Select Agents required by 7 CFR 331.

The facility’s building automation system is a blend of Distech Controls and American Auto-Matrix, which needs service, system review, checkout and system-wide backup. NCAPP experiences control sequence, and temperature/operational stability problems with intermittent sensor reading fluctuations and loss of control/program settings. The maintenance/testing control work is important to keeping this mission critical facility operating smoothly 24/7 and to prevent or reduce failures which could greatly affect the operation of the pathogen testing program at this site or possible breach in containment of the Ag Select Agents. The service needs to be performed by a trained and certified controls specialist in both Auto-Matrix and Distech Controls. Any new or replacement components for the building automation system must be American Auto-Matrix or Distech Controls. The controls specialist must be able to pass a Security Risk Assessment and complete Select Agent training to work in the high containment facility and the site-specific working knowledge of the 176-unit system controllers/programs. Maintaining and debugging the 29-unit system of Distech controllers was not part of the BSL-3 BAS Upgrade contract 12639522C0030 performed by Ritz Construction and SmartBT. Lastly, an authorized Distech control specialist is needed in order to maintain any warranties that are associated with the building automation system in the BSL-3.

The facility-wide Distech Controls and Auto-Matrix control system to be serviced consists of five zonal main JACE controllers, multiple workstations and 176 individual controllers (13 different controller types/function) that are utilized throughout the facility to control systems and equipment. The current building automation system controls all of the HVAC equipment and utility systems at NCAPP. This includes the chilled water, boiler hot water, secondary hot water quarantine greenhouse system, 20 air handling units, 42 exhaust fans, 59 freezer/incubators that contain high risk samples and numerous fan coil units, variable air volume boxes and the complex cascading negative pressure system for the High Containment Building. In addition to the HVAC controls, the building automation system also monitors the operation of laboratory equipment and several alarms points. A functional and reliable building automation system is essential in guaranteeing 24/7 operation of the facility.
