Building Automation System

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking a contractor to upgrade the Building Automation System (BAS) at the West Roxbury VA Medical Center. The project involves replacing legacy LON field-controller infrastructure with Trane Tracer S500 programmable controllers and integrating them into the existing Trane Tracer BAS using BACnet-compatible communication. The contractor will be responsible for providing and installing all necessary controllers, end devices, and materials, as well as performing engineering, configuration, programming, and start-up support. The project aims to modernize the field-level controls, improve serviceability, and standardize communication on the existing BACnet/open-protocol BAS platform. Some key points of the project include: • Replacing legacy ATC field controls with Trane Tracer S500 programmable controllers • Integrating the upgraded controllers into the existing Trane Tracer BAS using BACnet-compatible communication • Providing programming, graphics, start-up, testing, and turnover documentation • Maintaining continuity of HVAC operations through coordinated phasing, outage planning, and VA-approved cutover windows • Providing project management, coordination meetings, safety planning, schedule management, and VA coordination throughout execution • Providing a one-year warranty on materials and labor
