Request for Qualifications 2025-2027 Master Integration Services

The University is seeking up to three Master Integrators through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for energy and infrastructure projects across campus buildings. The primary focus is on building automation system (BAS) upgrades, which include replacing hardware, migrating electronic systems, and integrating existing proprietary and BACnet systems to the Niagara platform. Key deliverables involve implementing energy-saving control sequences, enhancing network security through network segmentation techniques, and providing additional automation consulting services such as creating graphics and troubleshooting hardware. The RFQ was posted on December 20, 2024, with proposals due by January 17, 2025, and covers jurisdictions including Orange County, Orange City, Orange Cove City, Orangevale CDP, and Orange Blossom CDP in California. Potential integrators must demonstrate expertise in building automation systems, Niagara platform integration, and compliance with the University's existing guidelines and standards for building automation systems.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly mentioned, the University will ultimately determine the number of agreements awarded, with a maximum of three Master Integrators selected. The procurement appears to be technology-focused, requiring advanced skills in building automation system integration, particularly with the Niagara platform. The scope suggests a complex technical project involving electronic migration, security enhancement, and energy efficiency optimization. Although specific budget ranges are not provided in the documentation, the detailed technical requirements indicate a sophisticated and potentially high-value contract. The project's emphasis on standardized building automation, network security, and energy savings control sequences suggests a significant investment in modernizing infrastructure across multiple campus buildings.
