Agenda Item
iii. E-SPLOST Approval of Control Concepts, Inc. as a Sole Source Vendor for SPLOST VI HVAC Controls Upgrade Projects (Not to exceed $14,415,598)
Summary: Mr. Erick Hoffstetter, Chief Operating Officer, Division of Operations
Request: It is requested that the Board of Education approve the award of the SPLOST VI Controls Upgrade Project to Controls Concepts, Inc., as the sole source vendor. The cost of these services will be allocated from multiple SPLOST VI charge codes (See Attachment A).
Why: To approve a lump sum contract award for HVAC Controls upgrades at 52 facilities to Control Concepts, Inc., as a sole source vendor for installing HVAC instrumentation and Controls district-wide. See Attachment A for the facility breakdown.
Details: In 2002, DeKalb County School District standardized Staefa/Talcon, the only allowable control system to be installed in DeKalb County Schools. The original Staefa MS1800 system approved to be installed District-wide is no longer manufactured. The software that executes the Staefa MS1800 system is utilized with the iNTREO product line. Utilizing the iNTREO system will allow the District to maintain compatibility throughout all facilities utilizing the Staefa/Talcon system.
Delta Controls is the exclusive manufacturer of the iNTREO brand of HVAC products nationally. Control Concepts, Inc. is the sole source distributor and installer of the iNTREO system in Georgia. Per the attached supporting documentation, Control Concepts, Inc. is an approved sole source vendor for installing the Staefa/Talcon control system.
The use of a sole source vendor for HVAC Controls will provide 1) Compatibility of Platform and Network Security, 2) Standardization Across Facilities, 3) Enhance Serviceability and Technician Training, and 4) Provide Resilience and System Durability. Further justification is included in Attachment C.
Financial impact: The total contract amount for the SPLOST VI HVAC Controls Upgrade project in the amount of $14,415,598, will be allocated from multiple SPLOST VI cost codes (See Attachment A).
