County to adopt a single non‑proprietary control system for building HVAC
Summary
Staff recommended replacing multiple proprietary control systems with a single, non‑proprietary control system to simplify maintenance and allow multiple contractors to service and remotely access the system.
County staff recommended consolidating three different proprietary control systems into a single, non‑proprietary control system so that multiple contractors can service and access controls without vendor lock‑in. The presenter said the recommended system would allow mobile access for remote diagnostics and that maintenance contractors would be able to log on before arriving on site.
Commissioners asked about vendor location and parts availability; the presenter said the recommended controls vendor is based in Alpena and emphasized warranties and 24‑hour service offered by bidders. One commissioner described the move away from proprietary controls as "a very smart move."
