The City of Minneapolis is issuing a Call for Bids for a Building Automation System (BAS) Upgrade at the Hawthorne Ramp Facility for the Public Works department, with bids due by May 20, 2026, at 2:00 PM CDT through the City's eSupplier Portal. The project scope requires suppliers to provide all materials, labor, equipment, and incidentals necessary to complete a comprehensive BAS upgrade, including replacement of all terminal-level controllers with BACnet MS/TP-compliant devices operating at a maximum baud rate of 76,800 BPS, demolition of existing ARCNET and U-NET controllers and communication cabling, installation of new control devices, and implementation of a new front-end operator interface and graphics based on Automated Logic Corporation WebCTRL equipment. Key deliverables include as-built drawings, updated points lists, final sequences of operations, BAS system software backups, operation and maintenance manuals, and a deficiency report documenting the condition of all existing control devices. The General Contractor must serve as the Temperature Controls Contractor and be an authorized Automated Logic dealer with demonstrated experience installing and programming WebCTRL-based systems, submitting documentation of dealer authorization and a minimum of three completed similar-scope projects for engineer review and approval prior to beginning BAS work. A qualified Test and Balance Contractor certified by AABC or NEBB must be hired to perform testing, adjusting, and balancing of all VAV terminal units and minimum outdoor airflows. The facility will remain in normal operation throughout the project, requiring coordination with the Owner to establish acceptable construction timelines and work sequencing that minimizes disruption.
