A transit agency in Washington is seeking a qualified vendor to provide a cloud-based building automation system (BAS) assessment solution for multiple transit sites. The objective is to implement a wireless, cloud-based BAS that supports HVAC control, data collection, and optimization across a network of facilities.

The proposed solution must utilize internet-programmable thermostats, gateways, and accessories to establish a secure, self-healing mesh network, providing cloud-based access for configuration, monitoring, and analytics. Key requirements include integration with an advanced optimization platform capable of dynamically adjusting equipment operations based on weather, occupancy patterns, humidity, ramp times, and energy demand limits. Vendors should present migration strategies for transitioning to the new BAS, outline best practices for cybersecurity and public agency compliance, and describe integration with current IT and energy management systems.

The system should offer robust service, warranty, and support tailored to 24/7 operations and be managed via a secure, web-based application. Real-time data exchange with the BAS through secure APIs, automatic recalculation of equipment ramp times using historical data, and dynamic adjustment of HVAC sequences to improve indoor air quality and reduce energy consumption are required functionalities. The solution should also provide comprehensive tracking of comfort, demand, and energy performance metrics across all sites.
