PTC1 Building Automation System Project

MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas is seeking a contractor to upgrade its Building Automation System (BAS) through the PTC1 Building Automation System Project. The project involves migrating from an obsolete Siemens Apogee Insight platform to a Tridium Niagara BAS platform, which includes replacing nine legacy Siemens Modular Equipment Controllers and one Modular Building Controller with modern BACnet/IP PXC controllers. Key deliverables include firmware updates for existing controllers, development of BAS graphics according to MD Anderson templates, integration with the Clockworks data analytics platform, and rebuilding existing BAS reports. The project requires a dedicated Project Manager, comprehensive risk management and phasing plan, and coordination with multiple internal teams. Critical technical requirements include compliance with 2021 IBC, 2023 National Electric Code, and 2021 NFPA Life Safety Code, with specific network architecture specifications. The project is located at 1840 Old Spanish Trail, Houston, TX 77054, with work scheduled to minimize disruption to the active patient care facility. The proposal is due by February 2, 2026, with the project posting date being December 18, 2025.

The contract does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The project requires extensive technical capabilities, including support for Active Directory, MD Anderson login credentials, SQL database integration, and local server hosting with comprehensive audit logging. Contractors must have expertise in building automation systems, network infrastructure, and healthcare facility modifications. While no specific budget range is provided, the complexity of the project suggests a significant investment in technological infrastructure upgrade. The owner retains full ownership of all design documents and electronic files upon project completion. Notably, the contract prohibits use of explosive powder-actuated tools and mandates maintenance of wet/dry vacuums during work. No staging, storage, or office space will be provided by MD Anderson, indicating that respondents must be self-sufficient in project implementation. The successful contractor will need to demonstrate advanced technical competence in building automation systems, network integration, and healthcare facility technology upgrades.
