RFI Worksheet - HVAC Controls (07.10.2026).pdf

This is a Request for Information (RFI) Worksheet for a federal contract opportunity with the 136th Mission Support Contracting office. The requirement is an HVAC Controls Project under Solicitation/Contract Number W50S7626QA005, with CAPTAIN CRABTREE serving as the Contracting Officer.

The RFI comprises 16 questions and answers addressing technical and contractual clarifications for an HVAC controls modernization initiative. Key topics include: existing Niagara platform information and graphics requirements for Buildings 1670 and 1671; replacement of legacy controllers with Niagara-compatible systems; BACnet and MS/TP communications infrastructure integration; control valve, actuator, and sensor replacement specifications; and clarification on equipment scope (VAV assemblies, Trane HVU units, pump starters, and chillers). Specific answers clarify that contractors must replace legacy controllers to establish full Niagara control capability; new graphics must match existing campus standards; existing BACnet/MS/TP infrastructure is available for reuse; contractors are responsible for field-verifying existing conditions; the Jace 9000 upgrade is included in scope; and Distech dealer or certified-installer status is not mandatory but demonstrated integration experience is acceptable. Additional clarifications address contingency pricing requirements, performance/payment bonds (required if contract price exceeds $150,000), and contractor responsibility for all software, engineering, and configuration tools necessary for Distech controller integration into the facility's existing Niagara/JACE infrastructure.
