Migration of the Building Automation & Central Monitoring System at the Florida State Fire College

The Florida Department of Financial Services, Division of State Fire Marshal - Florida State Fire College, is seeking to migrate its current end-of-life building automation and central monitoring system to a newer Siemens Industry, Inc. system that is compatible with the existing Siemens heating, ventilation, and integration components at the Fire College. This is not a bid, but rather an intent to enter into an agreement with Siemens Industry, Inc. to procure the necessary system upgrade. Prospective vendors who believe they can provide these services are requested to submit relevant information by December 12, 2023. The current system must be upgraded within the next 12 months, and the estimated value of the contract is $133,435.00. The Department has identified Siemens Industry, Inc. as the sole-source provider, as they installed the original system in 1998 and only their new building automation and monitoring system will properly integrate with the existing Siemens components at the Fire College. The Department intends to award the contract to Siemens Industry, Inc. if no other qualified vendors come forward by the deadline with the ability to provide the required services.

This procurement is limited to Siemens Industry, Inc. as the sole-source provider, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current contractor, Siemens Industry, Inc., installed the original system in 1998 and is the only vendor capable of providing the necessary upgrades to ensure compatibility with the existing Siemens infrastructure at the Fire College.
