Title/Name/Summary
2025 Building Automation System Services
History
The Public Works Department uses a Building Automation System (BAS) to connect and control Village heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems (HVAC). Via the Village’s BAS, which is a Distech system, Public Works monitors the status of nine (9) buildings including Village Hall, Civic Center, FLC, Rec Admin, SportsPlex, Police Department, 143rd St Metra, Public Works, and the Main Pump Station. The Police Department Firing Range/EOC will be added to this list in 2025.
The Village’s annual service contract with Automatic Building Controls, LLC (ABC) for the maintenance of the Village’s BAS expires at the end of February 2025. ABC has been the Village’s BAS service contractor for approximately twenty (20) years, and is an authorized Distech vendor. ABC has provided the Village with quality service during that time. Accordingly, a proposal for the 2025 Building Automation System Preferred Service Plan (PSP), including the Police Department Firing Range/EOC, was provided to the Village by ABC.
A new requirement associated with BAS maintenance is the need for an annual Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA). An SMA is designed to assure access to the latest Niagara Framework technology and cybersecurity patches. As such, ABC also provided the Village with an SMA proposal for the seven (7) JACE controllers at the 143rd St Metra Station, Police Station, Public Works, Main Pump Station, Rec Admin, Sportsplex, and Village Hall. It should be noted that an SMA is an annual requirement to keep software updated.
A summary of the proposed 2025 Building Automation System Services costs from ABC is provided below:
2025 Building Automation System Preferred Service Plan (PSP): $29,400.00
2025 Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA): $9,200.00
Total 2025 Building Automation System Services: $38,600.00
Staff has a high level of trust in ABC and feels the service they provide to the Village is invaluable...
