FAR 52.228-1 BID GUARANTEE (SEP 1996) (a) Failure to furnish a bid guarantee in the proper form and amount, by the time set for opening of bids, may be cause for rejection of the bid. (b) The bidder shall furnish a bid guarantee in the form of a firm commitment, e.g., bid bond supported by good and sufficient surety or sureties acceptable to the Government, postal money order, certified check, cashier's check, irrevocable letter of credit, or, under Treasury Department regulations, certain bonds or notes of the United States. The Contracting Officer will return bid guarantees, other than bid bonds, (1) to unsuccessful bidders as soon as practicable after the opening of bids, and (2) to the successful bidder upon execution of contractual documents and bonds (including any necessary coinsurance or reinsurance agreements), as required by the bid as accepted. (c) The amount of the bid guarantee shall be twenty percent of the bid price or $3 Million, whichever is less. (d) If the successful bidder, upon acceptance of its bid by the Government within the period specified for acceptance, fails to execute all contractual documents or give a bond(s) within ten days after receipt of the forms by the bidder, the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract for default. (e) In the event the contract is terminated for default, the bidder is liable for any cost of acquiring the work that exceeds the amount of its bid, and the bid guarantee is available to offset the difference.

(b)(1) If the clause at 52.204-7, Central Contractor Registration, is included in this solicitation, paragraph (d) of this provision applies. (2) If the clause at 52.204-7 is not included in this solicitation, and the offeror is currently registered in CCR, and has completed the ORCA electronically, the offeror may choose to use paragraph (d) of this provision instead of completing the corresponding individual representations and certifications in the solicitation.

METHOD FOR AWARD The Government will make award to the responsive, responsible Offeror that conforms to all the submission requirements and is considered to be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. For purposes of the evaluation, price is roughly equal in weight and importance to the weight of the technical factor. As technical proposals become more equal in their technical merit, price becomes more important. Technical factors that Offerors will be evaluated on are: 1) Specialized Experience 2) Past Performance. In the case of an Offeror without a record of past performance, or for whom information on past performance is not available, that Offeror will be given neither a favorable nor an unfavorable evaluation regarding past performance.

4.

EVALUATION FACTORS A.

PRICE EVALUATION

(1) Price Evaluation consists of (1) the base bid (consisting of the lump sum bid and any associated unit price bids extended by the applicable number of units shown on the offer form) plus (2) all alternates designated to be evaluated. The evaluation of alternates will not obligate the Government to accept the alternates. (2) An offer may be rejected as nonresponsive if the offer is materially unbalanced as to offer prices. An offer is unbalanced when the offer is based on prices significantly less than cost for some work and significantly overstated for other work.

PBS - REG 9

TASK ORDER RFP # 9P3PSLC101037

TECHNICAL EVALUATION

For purposes of the technical evaluation, the Government will only evaluate projects that meet the Similar Work definition. Similar Work is defined as: a repair & alteration project with a minimum dollar value of $750,000; completed within the last 5 years; and involving new construction, improvements and/or expansion of commercial buildings. (1)

SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE

This factor considers the extent of the Offeror’s experience within the last 5 years on contracts of Similar Work. Experience will be evaluated by analysis of information provided by the offeror and by interviews with the Offeror's past and/or current customers. The standard is met when Offerors submit a minimum of three contracts for Similar Work, completed within the last 5 years. (2)

PAST PERFORMANCE

This factor considers the Offeror’s past performance, within the last 5 years, in performing contracts for Similar Work. This past performance evaluation may include an evaluation of the Offeror's quality of workmanship, timeliness of delivery, responsiveness of management and cooperation with customer, adherence to contract requirements, and overall quality of Offeror’s performance and customer satisfaction. Evaluation of past performance is a subjective assessment based on consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances. It will not be based on absolute standards of acceptable performance. The standard is met when an Offeror’s references indicate that the Offer’s past performance was good. Additionally, the Contracting Officer may identify and analyze the past performance of the Offeror on any other contract that they currently have or have completed. In the case of an Offeror without a record of past performance, or for whom information on past performance is not available, that Offeror will be given neither a favorable nor an unfavorable evaluation regarding past performance. While Offerors must provide a minimum of 3 references for the past performance evaluations, they may provide more. However, the Government is not required to conduct or complete past performance evaluations on more than 3 contracts, although it may choose to do so. Additionally, if more than 3 references are provided, the Government reserves the right to choose which references to include in its past performance evaluation.

5.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS Each Offeror must provide a minimum of three (3) customer references for both technical evaluation factors. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to provide sufficient information regarding their reference projects for the Government to determine if a project meets the Similar Work definition as stated in the Evaluation Factor section above. Offerors are cautioned to verify the accuracy of the contact information for references for the past performance evaluation. If GSA is unable to contact a submitted Past Performance reference, then that Offeror will be given neither a favorable nor unfavorable evaluation for that reference. References shall only pertain to the Offeror entity itself, not prospective subcontractors. In addition to those references provided directly by the Offeror, the Government may identify and analyze such relevant past performance or experience of the Offeror on any other contract that the Offeror currently PAGE I - 3 SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED (SBU) PROPERTY OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Do not remove this notice Properly destroy or return documents when no longer needed

FAR 52.215-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS-COMPETITIVE ACQUISITION (JAN 2004) (a) Definitions. As used in this provision"Discussions" are negotiations that occur after establishment of the competitive range that may, at the Contracting Officer's discretion, result in the offeror being allowed to revise its proposal. "In writing," "writing," or "written" means any worded or numbered expression that can be read, reproduced, and later communicated, and includes electronically transmitted and stored information. "Proposal modification" is a change made to a proposal before the solicitation's closing date and time, or made in response to an amendment, or made to correct a mistake at any time before award. "Proposal revision" is a change to a proposal made after the solicitation closing date, at the request of or as allowed by a Contracting Officer as the result of negotiations. "Time," if stated as a number of days, is calculated using calendar days, unless otherwise specified, and will include Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. However, if the last day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, then the period shall include the next working day. (b) Amendments to solicitations. If this solicitation is amended, all terms and conditions that are not amended remain unchanged. Offerors shall acknowledge receipt of any amendment to this solicitation by the date and time specified in the amendment(s). (c) Submission, modification, revision, and withdrawal of proposals.

p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that proposal or revision is due. (ii)(A) Any proposal, modification, or revision received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is "late" and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and(1) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of proposals; or (2) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or (3) It is the only proposal received. (B) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful proposal that makes its terms more favorable to the Government will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted. (iii) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the proposal wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel. (iv) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that proposals cannot be received at the office designated for receipt of proposals by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation, the time specified for receipt of proposals will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume. (v) Proposals may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before award. Oral proposals in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile proposals, proposals may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before award, subject to the conditions specified in the provision at 52.215-5, Facsimile Proposals. Proposals may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or an authorized representative, if the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the proposal before award. (4) Unless otherwise specified in the solicitation, the offeror may propose to provide any item or combination of items. (5) Offerors shall submit proposals in response to this solicitation in English, unless otherwise permitted by the solicitation, and in U.S. dollars, unless the provision at FAR 52.225-17, Evaluation of Foreign Currency Offers, is included in the solicitation.

(e) Restriction on disclosure and use of data. Offerors that include in their proposals data that they do not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the Government except for evaluation purposes, shall(1) Mark the title page with the following legend: This proposal includes data that shall not be disclosed outside the Government and shall not be duplicated, used, or disclosed-in whole or in part-for any purpose other than to evaluate this proposal. If, however, a contract is awarded to this offeror as a result of-or in connection with-the submission of this data, the Government shall have the right to duplicate, use, or disclose the data to the extent provided in the resulting contract. This restriction does not limit the Government's right to use information contained in this data if it is obtained from another source without restriction. The data subject to this restriction are contained in sheets [insert numbers or other identification of sheets]; and (2) Mark each sheet of data it wishes to restrict with the following legend: Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposal. (f) Contract award. (1) The Government intends to award a contract or contracts resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror(s) whose proposal(s) represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors and sub-factors in the solicitation. (2) The Government may reject any or all proposals if such action is in the Government's interest. (3) The Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities in proposals received. (4) The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. (5) The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit cost or prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the proposal. (6) The Government reserves the right to make multiple awards if, after considering the additional administrative costs, it is in the Government's best interest to do so. (7) Exchanges with offerors after receipt of a proposal do not constitute a rejection or counteroffer by the Government. (8) The Government may determine that a proposal is unacceptable if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced between line items or sub-line items. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government. (9) If a cost realism analysis is performed, cost realism may be considered by the source selection authority in evaluating performance or schedule risk. (10) A written award or acceptance of proposal mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time specified in the proposal shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

(ii) The overall evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful and the debriefed offeror and past performance information on the debriefed offeror.

SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED BUILDING INFORMATION (SBU) PBS’s policy on SBU building information (GSA Order No. PBS 3490.1A (dated June 1, 2009)) has two principal objectives to reduce exposure to possible attacks or threats to GSA-controlled space: a. To diminish the potential that sensitive information about a building will be available for use by a person or persons with an interest in causing harm to persons or property. b. To respect GSA’s legitimate business needs to allow access to this information to those authorized recipients who have a need to know such information. Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) building information is contained in any document with information that is sufficiently sensitive to warrant some level of protection from disclosure but that does not warrant classification. Based on the above, the contractor will take necessary precautions as outlined in the subject order to ensure that SBU documents, including, but not limited to, building designs (floor plans), construction plans and specifications, renovation/alteration plans, equipment plans and locations, building operating plans, information used for building service contracts and/or contract guard services or any other information PAGE II - 10 SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED (SBU) PROPERTY OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Do not remove this notice Properly destroy or return documents when no longer needed

considered a security risk, shall be disseminated ONLY upon a determination that the recipients are authorized to receive said information. Furthermore, at the conclusion of the project, the Project Manager will coordinate with the contractor for the return of copies of building plans/specifications, solicitation documents, and other SBU electronic or hardcopy information, to the Government. A copy of this Order is available from the Contracting Officer upon request. SAFEGUARDING AND DISSEMINATION OF SENSITIVE BUT BUILDING INFORMATION

UNCLASSIFIED (SBU)

This clause applies to all recipients of SBU building information, including offerors, bidders, awardees, contractors, subcontractors, lessors, suppliers, and manufacturers. (a) Marking SBU. Contractor-generated documents that contain building information must be reviewed by GSA to identify any SBU content, before the original or any copies are disseminated to any other parties. If SBU content is identified, the contracting officer may direct the contractor, as specified elsewhere in this contract, to imprint or affix SBU document markings to the original documents and all copies, before any dissemination. (b) Authorized recipients. Building information considered SBU must be protected with access strictly controlled and limited to those individuals having a need to know such information. Those with a need to know may include Federal, State, and local government entities, and nongovernment entities engaged in the conduct of business on behalf of or with GSA. Nongovernment entities may include architects, engineers, consultants, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and others submitting an offer or bid to GSA or performing work under a GSA contract or subcontract. Contractors must provide SBU building information when needed for the performance of official Federal, State, and local government functions, such as for code compliance reviews and for the issuance of building permits. Public safety entities such as fire and utility departments may require access to SBU building information on a need to know basis. This clause must not prevent or encumber the dissemination of SBU building information to public safety entities. (c) Dissemination of SBU building information: (1) By electronic transmission. Electronic transmission of SBU information outside of the GSA firewall and network must use session (or alternatively file encryption). Sessions (or files) must be encrypted with an approved NIST algorithm, such as Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) or Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES), in accordance with Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS PUB) 140-2, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules. Encryption tools that meet FIPS 140-2 are referenced on the NIST web page found at the following URL: http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/1401vend.htm . All encryption products used to satisfy the FIPS 140-2 requirement should have a validation certificate that can be verified at the following URL: http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/validation.html#02. (Not all vendors of security products that claim conformance with FIPS 140-2 have validation certificates.) Contractors must provide SBU building information only to authorized representatives of State, Federal, and local government entities and firms currently registered as “active” in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database at www.ccr.gov that have a need to know such information. If a subcontractor is not registered in the CCR and has a need to possess SBU building information, the subcontractor shall provide to the contractor its DUNS number or its tax ID number and a copy of its business license. (2) By nonelectronic form or on portable electronic data storage devices. Portable electronic data storage devices include but are not limited to CDs, DVDs, and USB drives. Nonelectronic forms of SBU building information include paper documents.

(i) By mail. Utilize only methods of shipping that provide services for monitoring receipt such as track and confirm, proof of delivery, signature confirmation, or return receipt. (ii) In person. Contractors must provide SBU building information only to authorized representatives of State, Federal, and local government entities and firms currently registered as “active” in the CCR database that have a need to know such information. (3) Record keeping. Contractors must maintain a list of the State, Federal, and local government entities and the firms to which SBU is disseminated under sections (c) (1) and (c) (2) of this clause. This list must include at a minimum (1) the name of the State, Federal, or local government entity or firm to which SBU has been disseminated; (2) the name of the individual at the entity or firm who is responsible for protecting the SBU building information, with access strictly controlled and limited to those individuals having a need to know such information; (3) contact information for the named individual; and (4) a description of the SBU building information provided. Once work is completed, or for leased space with the submission of the “as built” drawings, the contractor must collect all lists maintained in accordance with this clause, including those maintained by any subcontractors and/or suppliers, and submit them to the contracting officer. For federal buildings, final payment may be withheld until the lists are received. (d) Retaining SBU documents. SBU building information (both electronic and paper formats) must be protected, with access strictly controlled and limited to those individuals having a need to know such information. (e) Destroying SBU building information.

DESCRIPTION A.

This Section includes requirements for the control of noise and vibration produced by all demolition and construction processes and equipment, including those associated with abatement of hazardous material removal; all such activities are hereinafter referred to as “construction”.

B.

It is the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure that noise and vibration from construction operations do not at any time:

C.

1.2

1.

Interfere with building occupants during business hours;

2.

Exceed the external noise limits prescribed by the City;

3.

Cause employees to be exposed to excessive and unsafe noise levels.

The Contractor shall submit to the Contracting Office within 10 days of notice to proceed a noise and vibration mitigation plan, which details proposals for control of noise and vibration during construction.

NOISE AND VIBRATION WITHIN THE BUILDING A.

The Contractor shall schedule and coordinate potentially disruptive operations so the building occupants can operate at their normal efficiency during the period from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday, hereafter referred to as “normal business hours”. Due to the sensitive nature of the operations and functions in the existing occupied spaces, demolition or construction noise will generally be considered disruptive (and therefore unacceptable) if it can be perceived in any occupied space. The practical difficulties of limiting demolition and construction noise to levels below the threshold of perceptibility must be fully understood by the Contractor. Therefore, all potentially disruptive operations shall be conducted during other than normal business hours, unless measures are taken, with the specific prior approval of the Contracting Officer, to ensure that there will be no interference with or disruption of building occupants and functions. In the event of a complaint about noise from a building occupant, the Contractor shall be required, at the discretion of the Contracting Officer, to stop and desist the disruptive work.

B.

Construction noise intrusion to occupied spaces above or below will tend to be structure borne rather than airborne. Vibration of the floor produced by a construction operation (such as floor finish removal, or drilling) or equipment (compressor, negative air machine, waste vacuum system, etc.) or impact (dropped tool

SECTION 01 57 20

PAGE 1

Order No. GS-P-09-09-NP-5006 RVS DHS/CIS 1ST FLOOR EXPANSION SPACE 24000 AVILA ROAD or material) will be reradiated as noise in the space below. Similarly, the use of impact and/or power tools on the ceiling deck will transmit noise directly to the space above. Construction work which involves vibrating or impacting structural columns will cause structure borne noise transfer to both above and below.

1.3

C.

Acoustical excitation of the building structure will also transmit noise to adjacent occupied spaces on the same floor. Airborne noise transfer to horizontal adjacencies is likely to be less significant, assuming that slab-to-slab constructions exist between the construction area and occupied space.

D.

Excessive airborne noise levels within the construction area will at best disrupt speech communication, and at worst represent a hearing damage risk to the Contractor’s employees. It is Contractor’s responsibility to take all practicable steps to reduce construction noise levels at source and to comply with the requirements of Cal/OSHA General Industry Safety Orders, Title 8, Article 105 “Control of Noise Exposure”.

E.

The Contractor’s noise mitigation plan shall, in addition to covering all construction operations and equipment, including proposals for reducing impact and airborne noise from construction material handling systems, including carts, chutes, hoists, etc. used during business hours.

PROHIBITED OPERATIONS A.

In addition to the noise and vibration control requirements specified in Paragraph 1.2 specific types of construction operations, on floors directly above or adjacent to occupied space, on ceiling slabs directly below adjacent to occupied space, and on structural columns, are “prohibited” during normal business hours, and other operations are considered “marginal” during normal business hours, and not allowed unless specific prior approval to conduct such operations is given by the Contracting Officer. The following Table 1 presents the prohibited and marginal operations: TABLE 1 CONSTRUCTION NOISE AND VIBRATION CONTROL RESTRICTED CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS IN AREAS ADJACENT TO OCCUPIED SPACE

B.

Violation of these restrictions or any of the other noise limitations required elsewhere in this Section during business hours shall cause for penalizing the Contractor by requiring that all construction operations be immediately halted and/or conducted outside of business hours. The Contracting Officer will make the final decision regarding the scheduling and interruption of “restricted” noise generating operations adjacent to occupied space.

C.

The Contractor’s representative shall supervise and be responsible for enforcing all provisions of the Specifications concerning construction noise and vibration control.

D.

The use of hammers or other impact tools on floors, structural members, ductwork, plumbing and sprinkler systems, ceiling systems, partitions, etc. is expressly prohibited during daytime hours in construction areas adjacent to occupied space.

E.

On floors over occupied space, no noise or vibration generating work shall be carried out during business hours.

NOISE EMISSIONS TO SURROUNDING EXTERNAL AREAS A.

The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that all construction operations and activities, including the movement and loading of trucks around the building, comply with the City Noise Ordinance. The Ordinance requires that the noise sources associated with construction operations and activities do not exceed 55dBA between 8pm and 10pm, and 50dBA between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays, including Saturday, or at any time on Sunday or a federal holiday.

B.

Particular caution shall be exercised on the part of the Contractor to ensure that negative air machines are selected, distributed, and acoustically treated to achieve the fixed equipment noise limits prescribed by the City Noise Ordinance.

NOISE MITIGATION PLAN A.

Before commencing any work, the Contractor shall submit for the review and approval of the Contracting Officer a detailed plan for achieving the noise and vibration requirements specified in this Section. The plan shall outline work programs and methods which demonstrate consistency with the construction noise philosophy for the Project and shall include a schedule of noise/vibration producing equipment items with the Contractor’s

SECTION 01 57 20

Order No. GS-P-09-09-NP-5006 RVS DHS/CIS 1ST FLOOR EXPANSION SPACE 24000 AVILA ROAD proposals for noise and vibration control in each case. Contractor’s plan shall coordinate with Contractor’s Construction Schedule, indicating all work sequences to be conducted outside normal business hours, and any work sequences planned to be conducted during business hours. B.

As part of the plan, the Contractor shall present his proposals for “policing” the jobsite to ensure that all employees are abiding by the prescribed work restrictions and noise mitigation practice, including the wearing of hearing protectors. The Contractor shall also initiate a liaison procedure with the building occupants, providing a mechanism for any complaints of noise disturbance to be dealt with promptly.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS 2.1

SUMMARY A.

Enterprise Energy Management System Requirements 1.

LASC Requirements and Objective a.

2.

VENDOR will create and host a LASC website (www.LASCEnergy.com) for LASC, where individual users, managers, as well as various departments, may login and view their energy consumption, as well as the status of their energy consuming processes, such as HVAC, lighting, etc., against energy saving targets. LASC Engineers will also be able to login to this Enterprise Energy Management System (EEM) website and have full two-way command over a limited and selected number of points in their control systems, which would eliminate the need to travel to a facility or piece of equipment, provided they are included.

Functional Requirements a.

LASC will have the ability to create custom user types (called “roles”) in the EEM platform, with detailed control over access rights, and focused graphing and reporting of relevant data for specific users, similar but not exclusive to the following 3 user types: 1)

BASIC USER, READ-ONLY, DASHBOARD WITH HIGH-LEVEL INFO, INTUITIVE TO USE

2)

MANAGEMENT USER, READ-ONLY, FINANCIALS, TRENDS, TARGETS, TRACKING, ANALYSIS

3)

TECHNICIAN USER, ABILITY TO CONTROL INPUTS AND SYSTEMS, ADJUST SETTINGS.

b.

LASC will have the administrative security settings to create and control each level and user type. The Basic User type is intended for venue managers to monitor venue level performance against reduction targets.

c.

In addition, the EEM will keep a running list of endusers’ total energy and financial savings, achieved through the confirmation of equipment scheduling adjustments.

SECTION 23 09 23 PAGE 1

Order No. GS-P-09-09-NP-5006 RVS DHS/CIS 1ST FLOOR EXPANSION SPACE 24000 AVILA ROAD

3.

4.

d.

Through the portal, there will be a 3D Geographical Information System (GIS) representation of normalized and forecasted functions; a satellite/map/figure of the red, yellow, green and blue status of major systems or pieces of equipment selected to monitor.

e.

Users will have the option of exporting data by simply clicking hyperlinks labeled “Print”, “Export to Excel” and “Save/Print as PDF” to export data and views from the EEM system. Data will be automatically and properly formatted by the EEM system in a printed friendly format – arranged for an 8.5” x 11” paper in a way that is visually pleasing. The system will not simply unload raw, unformatted data into an Excel spreadsheet in a way that “Comma Separated Value” (CSV) does, or simply print the current webpage to PDF.

Financial Requirements a.

Energy and financial ratios will be developed and displayed within the website’s analysis section revealing hidden proportional relationships between data variables, such as the cost of running equipments under different operating parameters.

b.

The EEM will provide simple and easy to use, realtime and historical analysis of equipment scheduling and efficiency, as well as detailed financial analysis outlining the cost/savings associated with every energy consuming process integrated into the EMS. All financial calculations will be based on LASCS' detailed rate structure with appropriate utilities to provide end-users with the actual cost/savings associated with all energy management decisions. The system will provide a “before” and projected “after” view, contrasting the financial impacts of process control adjustments. Additional information to be tracked and analyzed will include theme park attendance, operational hours and weather trends. When looking up data, LASC will have the ability to customize time periods to their financial calendar.

Environmental Requirements a.

The system will integrate Greenhouse Gas emissions factors for different energy uses, in order to track GHG emissions, and the ability to update those factors as they change from time to time based on LASC tracked variables. This GHG data will allow carbon footprint calculations from the facility level all the way up to the site level, and provide trending over time. The system will also give the ability to manipulate data points across time and apply a factor or series of factors (rate, schedule,

SECTION 23 09 23 PAGE 2

Order No. GS-P-09-09-NP-5006 RVS DHS/CIS 1ST FLOOR EXPANSION SPACE 24000 AVILA ROAD weather, GHG ratios) in order to compare different scenarios and outcomes. b.

5.

LASC would like the ability to upload comparison factors for graphing and comparison (attendance, temperature, operating hours, utility rates…or any spreadsheet, time-based parameter). LASC would also like to see if it is possible to feed energy saving savings information directly to their utilities for rebate purposes, and to pull info from utilities for rate schedules, demand response, etc.

Features and Functionality: a.

Multiple data sources networked together through the EEM platform to an enterprise dashboard

b.

Ability to provide feedback to the field via reports

c.

The ability to execute; and then measure and verify effectiveness of energy strategies which reduce energy usage and ultimately save money.

d.

Accomplish the majority of the functional requirements previously outlined above

e.

Built in scheduling logic and control of the HVAC and control systems tied to the LASC scheduling systems; to detect occupancy for the purposes of performing Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) without having to use hardware and discrete CO2 sensors.

f.

Perform Demand Management (Demand Response) by overriding the existing HVAC equipment room temperature set points in order to more efficiently cool and condition the theatres and other venues, from an energy management standpoint. This will be accomplished through the use of occupancy detection to gauge load and/or “pre-cooling” strategies enacted because of weather forecasts.

g.

Integrate occupancy data feeds and “run-time” counters on mechanical equipment in order to coordinate and better perform Statistical Preventative Maintenance (SPM)

h.

Enable anonymous user (guest) login for viewing of canned reports; possibly through links delivered via e-mail, etc.

i.

VENDOR shall use software-based Gateway applications to connect LASCS existing open, proprietary and legacy building control, metering, maintenance and other systems together seamlessly; using a pure, webbased (HTTP, XML, Web Services) architecture. The use of replacement, "shadow" or hardware based field

SECTION 23 09 23 PAGE 3

Order No. GS-P-09-09-NP-5006 RVS DHS/CIS 1ST FLOOR EXPANSION SPACE 24000 AVILA ROAD devices or "hardware-based boxes" of any kind will be unacceptable. VENDOR must be able to connect (two-way control) into the majority of LASC systems. 6.

7.

IT / Network / Computer Requirements a.

All data and views will be fully accessible and displayable via standard web pages using LASC corporate standard Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, 7 or 8. No additional web-browser plug-in shall be required of any kind (ActiveX), with the exception of Adobe/Macromedia Flash plug-in, Microsoft Virtual Earth, the Microsoft .NET based ChartFX Charting control, the Crystal Reports viewer and JavaScript.
