Building Automation Controls Professional Services

The City of Raleigh, located in Wake County, North Carolina, is seeking one or more contractors to provide on-call building automation controls professional services through a Request for Proposals (RFP) numbered 274-ESIFS-BASC-2025. The procurement seeks contractors to perform maintenance, repair, and replacement services for building automation and lighting controls across various city facilities. Specific service requirements include troubleshooting, repairing, and replacing building automation and lighting controllers, resolving communication system issues, and providing comprehensive maintenance services. Contractors must be Niagara 4 Certified and provide manufacturer-certified technicians who can work with Vykon JACE Controllers and Niagara framework systems. The proposal evaluation will consider multiple factors, including corporate background, financial stability, project understanding, team experience, and proposed cost, using a weighted scoring system that may include an optional interview/demonstration phase. The RFP was issued on April 11, 2025, with a pre-proposal conference scheduled for April 16, 2025, at 10:00 AM, and proposals are due by May 15, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST. The proposed contract will have an initial five-year term, with the City reserving the right to extend the contract for up to 180 days in 90-day increments.

While the RFP does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, the document suggests the City may award contracts to multiple contractors. The current infrastructure relies on Vykon JACE Controllers and the Niagara framework for device-to-enterprise applications, which will require any incoming contractors to demonstrate compatibility and expertise with these existing technological systems. No specific incumbent vendors are mentioned in the provided documentation, and the RFP does not outline a precise budget range or total contract value. Potential respondents will need to provide comprehensive pricing proposals as part of their submission. The City's evaluation approach indicates a preference for contractors with robust technical capabilities, proven experience in building automation controls, and a demonstrated ability to provide flexible, responsive on-call services across multiple city facilities. Interested contractors should carefully review the full RFP documentation to ensure complete compliance with all technical and procedural requirements.
