Summary

Staff told the board a countywide building automation system RFP is ready; the scope is approximately $4.3 million and is intended to consolidate incompatible HVAC controls across county buildings.

Administration told commissioners the county is preparing an RFP to replace disparate building automation systems and better coordinate heating and cooling across county facilities.

A facilities representative said the scope of work for the RFP is about $4,300,000 and covers countywide systems. "We would like the new director of facilities to take a look at the proposal before it goes out for RFP," the speaker said, adding that the solicitation will follow any adjustments from the new director.

Staff described the project as a single‑phase replacement to achieve consistent controls across buildings and avoid conflicts where existing systems "don't speak the same language." Commission discussion focused on timing and vendor selection for a system that staff hope to fund in 2026.
