About this file

This is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source Procurement issued by Midlands Technical College's Procurement Department in South Carolina. The college seeks to procure temperature and humidity control equipment, including software and programming, from Trane US Inc. to support moisture control systems in Springdale Hall on the Airport Campus. The proposed services include delivery of one Tracer SC panel with Bridge Bundle and licensing, system programming and checkout, integration of two existing Trane roof top units and 13 existing zone dampers, installation of two UC210 controllers for bypass dampers, two hours of owner training, updated control drawings, one-year parts and labor warranty, and graphics for all existing equipment. Vendors interested in competing for this procurement must submit responses to Rina Drescher at trezevantl@midlandstech.edu by 5:00 p.m. on May 18, 2023. The college notes that responding vendors are not guaranteed a request for proposal and reserves the right to solicit proposals now or in the future.

The estimated cost to the college for this sole source procurement is $28,565. The rationale for sole sourcing is that the college's existing Trane Tracker system consists of legacy equipment over 20 years old that cannot integrate new HVAC equipment needed for the building. The Tracer SC user interface was selected as the solution to provide building operators with the capability to set up, operate, and modify the building automation system. Vendors believing they can provide the exact, same, or identical requested products and services are encouraged to submit inquiries. Any protests regarding this procurement must be submitted in writing to the Chief Procurement Officer at the Materials Management Office within the timeframe specified in South Carolina Consolidated Procurement Code Section 11-35-4210.
