- Description
- Building Automated Systems Sources Sought The DoS is installing BAS systems in New Embassy Compounds (NEC's) around the world. Currently there are 100 NEC's with BAS systems installed by a variety of third party vendors. The implementation of the BAS is providing many challenges for DoS oversight and management; examples of the challenges faced include: varied skillsets among FM's responsible for BAS operations; inconsistent power supplies at embassy compounds; varying skill levels among LES responsible for BAS oversight; limited resources for BAS support; limited vendor availability, responsiveness and support; language barriers impacting the ability to train LES responsible for BAS management; limited protocol for emergency response when BAS systems fail; lack of knowledge on how to modify BAS parameters for new space allocation or other NEC facility modifications; no best practice strategies for troubleshooting BAS problems; lack of a plan/process for upgrading BAS software that is outdated; and minimal knowledge of how manual overrides or modifications of BAS parameters impacts overall facility operations. These are in addition to the challenges related to a lack of basic BAS operational knowledge. The types of systems installed at NEC's involve, at a minimum, seven different BAS vendors as well as an undetermined number of third party contractors responsible for the system installations, support, and knowledge transfer. The goal of this training is to provide FM's and LES with the knowledge, skills, abilities, and resources necessary for the successful integration, operation, and support of BAS systems at NEC's as well as existing embassy compounds.
