HVAC Preventative Maintenance for the District Office and Jax Urban Office

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is issuing a Notice of Intended Decision to Enter into a Single Source Contract (PUR 7778) for HVAC Preventative Maintenance services at the Lake City District Office and Jacksonville Urban Office. The Department intends to award the contract to Johnson Controls, Inc., who has been maintaining the HVAC system since it was installed in 1996 under an Energy Services Contract. The HVAC equipment is connected to the Metasys Automation System, which is a proprietary product of Johnson Controls, requiring their factory-trained and certified technicians to perform the necessary maintenance and repair work. The intended contract price is $50,000. The Department has determined that Johnson Controls, Inc. is the sole provider capable of maintaining the complex and networked HVAC system and Metasys Automation System.

This is a sole-source procurement, as Johnson Controls, Inc. is the sole vendor for the Department's HVAC equipment, maintenance, and Metasys Automation System, which is a patented product. No other vendors are eligible to bid on this contract. The current incumbent, Johnson Controls, Inc., has been providing these services since the HVAC system was originally installed in 1996. The budget for this contract is $50,000, and the contract term is to be determined.
