SOLICITATION GS-05P-17-SA-C-0002

Building Automation Integration Robert W. Kastenmeier Federal Courthouse 120 N Henry Street, Madison, Wisconsin

Question & Answer #2 (Question & Answer #1 was included in the last portion of the Pre- Proposal Conference Notes, which was posted to FBO)

QUESTION: Why was a vendor specific solution (Niagara N4) already pre-determined, rather than open requirements where alternative solutions could be proposed?

ANSWER: Per solicitation Section 2.2.1 the contractor shall install fully licensed Niagara N4 software including any tools required to manage existing devices and new controllers.

The solicitation specifies Niagara N4 software because Niagara is the GSA Region 5 standard.

The software meets GSA’s needs for open integration capacity and human to machine interface.

Using Niagara N4 also allows for consistency among GSA Region 5.
