Note: Any contractor-provided hardware requiring access to the GSA network, must be pre-approved for use by the GSA (PBS CIO).

As the site is being upgraded to a Tridium Niagara N4 server there have been multiple failed controller I/O points identified on the AHU and cooling tower controllers. The effort being proposed will continue to utilize the low voltage signal wiring that is all KMC based hardware and will upgrade to the latest hardware from this vendor to ensure the longest service life for the facility.
