This is not a request for competitive quotes. Market research revealed that this is a logical follow-on to existing work done by Control Services Inc for the Omaha VA Medical Center in regards to HVAC and building controls related to HVAC. This is a logical follow-on to Control Systems existing contract to do HVAC services at Omaha VA Medical Center for both the Main Building and ACC, and this system control upgrade at the ACC ties in to this system interconnectedly. Both buildings (Main Building and ACC) require an interconnected systems control. Control Services, Inc. currently has the HVAC Controls contract number VA263-15-C-0136 at the Omaha VAMC for the Main Building.
