OBJECTIVE: The objective of this RFI/Sources Sought is to identify the most suitable enterprise solution(s) for integrating building controls and monitoring application areas to enable more effective management and improve energy-efficient facility operations. The architecture of buildings at each site will vary. The nature of user needs at each site may require more than one enterprise solution. The enterprise solution is an effort to streamline the program management, sustainment, and lifecycle replacement of components and software. This initiative is set to implement improved cyber security measures in all BCS/UCS platforms within the enterprise.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES: This is a regular and preventative maintenance contract to provide and implement a comprehensive program for the operation, maintenance, repairs, service, testing, inspection, and certification of wastewater, to include a lifecycle approach and cybersecurity requirements, at the following locations:
