07/21/2026
1.0 Organization. The Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) is a marine research organization owned and operated by the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The regional headquarters for NWFSC is located at 2725 Montlake Blvd E., Seattle, WA 98112. This Statement of Work (SOW) requires thew contractor to perform design-build services at the Manchester Research Station (MRS).
2.0 Background. The Manchester facility is situated on 22 acres of land at 7305 Beach Drive, Port Orchard, WA 98366. The campus comprises 21 major buildings and structures, varying in age from legacy structures built in 1944 to a modern facility completed in 2014 (see Figures 1 to 6 of Exhibit A). These structures vary widely in size and construction type, ranging from a 120 SF simple storage shed to a 9,300 SF two-story stick-built facility, up to a 15,000 SF fish tank Butler-style structure. The total combined area of all campus buildings is approximately
60,000 SF.
2.1 In 2019, NWFSC successfully deployed a Building Automation System (BAS) at its Montlake Campus using EasyIO controllers and an open-source platform, in compliance with the NWFSC BAS Control Specification requirements (Section 9.1). To ensure operational consistency, remote visibility, and resource efficiency, NWFSC requires a matching open-source, flexible, and hardware-agnostic BAS at MRS to monitor and control its critical facility HVAC and seawater lifecycle systems. The Montlake Campus BAS is referenced solely as the existing NWFSC BAS architecture model and integration framework. The design, installation, and commissioning requirements of this SOW apply exclusively to the Manchester Research Station.
3.0 Services Required. This is a comprehensive design-build project. The Contractor shall furnish all labor, supervision, engineering, software, programming, equipment, materials, tools, testing, commissioning, documentation, and training necessary to provide a complete and operational Building Automation System in accordance with this Statement of Work. The Contractor's technical proposal shall include preliminary point lists, proposed hardware selections, and preliminary sequences of operation for all new BAS-controlled systems and proposed integrations at MRS.
3.1 Project Objective. The new BAS must enable secure, remote capabilities to monitor, alert, and operate facility infrastructure, mechanical systems, electrical assets, and specialized seawater operations. System components must seamlessly comply with all parameters outlined in the NWFSC BAS Control Specifications (Attachment 9.1). All work performed must meet or exceed applicable federal, state, and local building, electrical, and safety codes. Where explicit codes do not exist, standard commercial industry best practices (e.g., ASHRAE, IEEE) shall apply.
3.2 System Monitoring and Control Points Summary. The Contractor shall identify all required monitoring points, alarm points, supervisory command points, analog outputs, binary outputs, and control sequences associated with BAS-controlled equipment. The final point list shall identify the function of each point (e.g., monitoring, alarming, supervisory control, or closed-loop control) and identify whether each point is existing, new, or integrated from an existing system. The BAS architecture shall be designed to support the current installation while maintaining a minimum of twenty (20) percent spare physical and logical controller capacity for future expansion. Table 3.2-1 provides a preliminary summary of the Manchester Research Station assets to be monitored or controlled. The final point count, controller quantities, and point classifications shall be developed by the Contractor as part of the design and approved by the Government. The preliminary point summary is provided for planning purposes only and does not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for identifying and providing all points, controllers, devices, and associated hardware necessary to deliver a complete and fully functional BAS in accordance with this Statement of Work.
