Addendum 1, issued October 6, 2026, clarifies that the Owner performs CEMCS integration while the contractor ensures BAS points, histories, and alarms conform to CEMCS standards; the existing Microzone MZ-4 controller serving the chilled water system shall be removed and replaced with new chiller controls, with the existing chilled water pump reused and integrated into the new BAS. A comprehensive CEMCS controls points list spreadsheet detailing point naming conventions, trending requirements, and alarming specifications is attached to the addendum.
