Siemens Building Technologies, Inc.

Estimated Dollar Amount:

Approximate Amount: $111,924.00

Approximate Contract Amount Up to: $142,000.00

Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, service or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate):

Siemens is the only known source capable of providing the proprietary BAS hardware, software, and authorized support services required for the Conner Complex Laboratory Facility and the

Mayo Building.

• All installed BAS components and the Siemens Insight Workstation Software, operate using

Siemens’ proprietary, non BACnet technology protected by U.S. patents and supported exclusively by Siemens factory branches.

• Non Siemens providers cannot offer authorized support or service for these systems. Any third party integration would still require Siemens involvement, reduce system reliability, and compromise the chain of responsibility for defects. It would also require separate training, service, and certification, resulting in duplicated costs and for the investments the owner has already made in systems installed for commissioning, programming, and staff training.

• The Siemens factory branch office located at 119-6 Hamilton Park Dr., Tallahassee, Florida, is the only factory authorized representative for Siemens systems for the Conner Complex and

Mayo Building.

Approved By (names & titles, as appropriate, e.g., requestor, requestor management, information systems, budget, purchasing):

Michelle Faircloth, Bureau Chief of General Services, Division of Administration
