The Agency hereby provides notice that it intends to enter into a sole source contract per S.C. Code Ann. §11-35-1560 with Vendor for the following supplies, services, information technology, or construction:

Coastal Carolina University operates an existing campus-wide Siemens Apogee/Desigo building automation system that provides centralized monitoring, control, alarming, scheduling, trending, and energy management for University facilities. The new Health and Human Performance Building must be incorporated into this existing environment to allow Facilities Management to operate and monitor the building through the University's established Siemens platform. The project requires controls for two boilers and associated pumps, variable-frequency-drive-controlled hot-water and chilled-water pumps, the chilled-water injector loop, 107 variable-air-volume boxes, three air-handling units, four exhaust fans, and three chilled-water fan coil units, together with startup, testing, commissioning, balancing, field devices, and Siemens Desigo point licensing. A separate or non-compatible building automation system would create a standalone operating platform requiring separate software, licensing, training, maintenance, alarming, and support, resulting in operational inefficiencies and reduced campuswide system functionality.
