Contracting opportunities

The County of Marin is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to provide technical guidance in choosing a building energy management system (BMS) for County buildings.

The Department of Public Works (DPW) Capital Division is tasked with implementing the County’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) which provides for improvements to County owned buildings. The building management system project outlined here, begins in the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Marin County Civic Center and extends to additional County properties.

This project will result in replacement of the existing BMS with a more current and up-to-date system that will provide more control of the systems, improved efficiency, monitoring and occupant thermal comfort, increased security, and quicker response times for resolution of events. Utilizing a current BMS will offer more scalability for future equipment upgrades and provide more security from cyber-attacks that could potentially disrupt the building’s daily operations and cause unnecessary downtime. The replacement will require a new central system, support with IT to integrate remote access points along with new control wiring to support the standard BMS controller at each of the HVAC components.
