Notice of Intent for Johnson Controls Metasys - HVAC Controls

Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers intends to require, on a sole source basis, the purchase and installation of Johnson Controls Metasys - HVAC Control components for the construction of a Fire Station Headquarters and an Air Passenger Terminal at Hanscom Air Force Base in Lincoln, Massachusetts.

The project consists of the construction of a new 3070 square meter (33,045 square foot) Fire Station Headquarters facility housing Hanscom’s Fire Station and an Air Passenger Terminal/Distinguished Visitor Lounge and Safety Offices building to house an air passenger terminal, distinguished visitor lounge, six safety offices and associated parking

The existing base-wide Utilities Monitoring and Control System (UMCS) on Hanscom Air Force Base (HAFB) is a Johnson Controls Metasys system. All Air Force buildings on HAFB with a building control system or a utility control system are connected and integrated into the base-wide Johnson Controls Metasys system which is in Building 1810 on HAFB. The base-wide UMCS allows Hanscom personnel to remotely monitor, manage, access, and control HVAC, utilities, and other building systems for each building on HAFB connected to the base-wide system.

The existing Johnson Controls Metasys system used on HAFB operates based on a proprietary control system and software. The Johnson Controls Network Automation Engine allows open protocol field devices to connect to the proprietary Metasys control system without overloading or crashing the system.
