HVAC Building Automation System Reissue

The Cherokee County School District (CCSD) is soliciting proposals for a Building Automation System (BAS) replacement project targeting three high schools: Etowah HS East, Sequoyah HS, and Sequoyah HS East. This Request for Proposal (RFP) BAS-2025.R seeks qualified proposers to replace existing HVAC building automation systems with comprehensive technological infrastructure modernization. The district will evaluate proposals based on a 100-point scoring system: 45 points for Qualifications and Experience, 25 points for Service and Support, 20 points for Price, and 10 points for References. Proposers must submit comprehensive documentation including company overviews, detailed scope of work, warranty information, equipment specifications, and necessary certifications. Critical submission deadlines include: all questions must be submitted through the Euna Procurement Message Center by 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 8, 2025, with final proposals due electronically by 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, August 21, 2025.

The RFP indicates that ALC is the current controls manufacturer and service provider, suggesting potential preference for systems that can integrate with the existing technological ecosystem. The district reserves the right to award the contract to multiple proposers and requires strict compliance with various administrative requirements, including Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act documentation, insurance certifications, and sub-contractor disclosures. Vendors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1 million in Comprehensive General Liability Insurance, Business Automobile Liability Insurance, and Workers' Compensation Insurance. While specific contract values are not explicitly stated, the project involves replacing building automation systems across three high school facilities, implying a potentially significant investment. Proposers must demonstrate ability to meet detailed technical specifications outlined in Attachment B - Automation Control Standards, which provides explicit guidelines for system integration, sensor placement, monitoring points, and control strategies across mechanical and electrical systems.
