For more information on the many ways “We make lives better®,” visit uthscsa.edu.

1.2 Background and Special Circumstances

UT Health San Antonio is in the engineering design phase of building a modular data center on the campus located in San Antonio, TX. The facility is a stand-alone data center that will contain information technology (IT) infrastructure in a highly reliable, survivable, and secure location. The University is seeking firm pricing for the infrastructure components specified from a detailed engineering design. The engineering design will be made available to the awarded vendor. Submittals should be for all components listed herein and exactly as specified.

1.3 Objective of Request for Proposal

The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (University) is soliciting proposals from qualified vendors to provide all Infrastructure Components listed herein (Work) as more specifically described in Section 5 (Scope of Work) of this Request for Proposal (RFP),

1.4 Group Purchase Authority

Texas law authorizes institutions of higher education (defined by §61.003, Education Code) to use the group purchasing procurement method (ref. §§51.9335, 73.115, and 74.008, Education Code). Additional Texas institutions of higher education may therefore elect to enter into a contract with the successful Proposer under this RFP. In particular, Proposer should note that University is part of The University of Texas System (UT System), which is comprised of fourteen institutions described at http://www.utsystem.edu/institutions. UT System institutions routinely evaluate whether a contract resulting from a procurement conducted by one of the institutions might be suitable for use by another, and if so, this RFP could give rise to additional purchase volumes. As a result, in submitting its proposal, Proposer should consider proposing a pricing model and other commercial terms that take into account the higher volumes and other expanded opportunities that could result from the eventual inclusion of other institutions in the purchase contemplated by this RFP. Any purchases made by other institutions based on this RFP will be the sole responsibility of those institutions.

1.5 Public Information

All information, documentation, and other materials submitted in response to this solicitation are considered non-confidential and/or non-proprietary and are subject to public disclosure under the Texas Public Information Act (Texas Government Code, Chapter 552.001, et seq.) after the solicitation is completed.

2.5 Historically Underutilized Businesses

2.5.1 All agencies of the State of Texas are required to make a good faith effort to assist historically underutilized businesses (HUBs) in receiving contract awards. The goal of the HUB program is to promote full and equal business opportunity for all businesses in contracting with state agencies. Pursuant to the HUB program, if under the terms of any agreement or contractual arrangement resulting from this RFP, Contractor subcontracts any Work, then Contractor must make a good faith effort to utilize HUBs certified by the Procurement and Support Services Division of the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. Proposals that fail to comply with the requirements contained in this Section 2.5 will constitute a material failure to comply with advertised specifications and will be rejected by University as non-responsive. Additionally, compliance with good faith effort guidelines is a condition precedent to awarding any agreement or contractual arrangement resulting from this RFP. Proposer acknowledges that, if selected by University, its obligation to make a good faith effort to utilize HUBs when subcontracting any Work will continue throughout the term of all agreements and contractual arrangements resulting from this RFP. Furthermore, any subcontracting of Work by the Proposer is subject to review by University to ensure compliance with the HUB program.

2.5.2 University has reviewed this RFP in accordance with 34 TAC §20.285, and has determined that

subcontracting opportunities are probable under this RFP. 2.5.3 A HUB Subcontracting Plan (HSP) is a required part of the proposal. The HSP will be developed and

administered in accordance with University’s Policy on Utilization of Historically Underutilized Businesses, attached as APPENDIX THREE.

Each Proposer must complete and return the HSP in accordance with the terms and conditions of this RFP, including APPENDIX THREE. Proposers that fail to submit the HSP will be considered non-responsive to this RFP as required by §2161.252, Government Code. Questions regarding the HSP may be directed to:

Contact: Sara L. Kirby HUB Coordinator Assistant Phone: 210-562-6300 Email: [email protected]

Contractor will not be permitted to change its HSP unless: (1) Contractor completes a new HSP in accordance with the terms of APPENDIX THREE, setting forth all modifications requested by Contractor, (2) Contractor provides the modified HSP to University, (3) University approves the modified HSP in writing, and (4) all agreements resulting from this RFP are amended in writing to conform to the modified HSP.

2.5.4 At the same time Proposer submits its proposal (no later than the Submittal Deadline (ref. Section 2.1)), Proposer must submit the following HUB materials (HUB Materials):

(a) One (1) complete original paper copy of Proposer’s HSP

http://texreg.sos.state.tx.us/public/readtac$ext.TacPage?sl=R&app=9&p_dir=&p_rloc=&p_tloc=&p_ploc=&pg=1&p_tac=&ti=34&pt=1&ch=20&rl=285

http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/GV/htm/GV.2161.htm#2161.252


Proposer’s HUB Materials must be submitted (as instructed in Section 3.2) under separate cover and in a

separate envelope (HSP Envelope) with the top outside surface clearly indicating:

2.5.4.1 RFP No. and the Submittal Deadline (ref. Section 2.1) in the lower left hand corner, 2.5.4.2 Name and the return address of Proposer, and 2.5.4.3 Phrase “HUB Subcontracting Plan.”

Any proposal submitted in response to this RFP that is not accompanied by a separate HSP Envelope meeting the above requirements may be rejected by University and returned to Proposer unopened as non-responsive due to material failure to comply with advertised specifications. University will open Proposer’s HSP Envelope prior to opening the proposal to confirm Proposer submitted the HSP. Proposer’s failure to submit the HSP will result in University’s rejection of the proposal as non-responsive due to material failure to comply with advertised specifications. NOTE: The requirement that Proposer provide the HSP under this Section 2.5.4 is separate from and does not affect Proposer’s obligation to provide University with the number of copies of its proposal specified in Section 3.1.

2.5.5 University may offer Proposer an opportunity to seek informal review of its draft HSP by University’s HUB Office before the Submittal Deadline. Informal review is designed to help address questions Proposer may have about how to complete its HSP properly. Concurrence or comment on Proposer’s draft HSP by University will not constitute formal approval of the HSP, and will not eliminate the need for Proposer to submit its final HSP to University as instructed by Section 2.5.

PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS

TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION 1: GENERAL INFORMATION .................................................................................... 16 SECTION 2: EXECUTION OF OFFER ........................................................................................ 19 SECTION 3: PROPOSER'S GENERAL QUESTIONNAIRE ....................................................... 22 SECTION 4: ADDENDA CHECKLIST ........................................................................................ 24


SECTION 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Purpose

University is soliciting competitive sealed proposals from Proposers having suitable qualifications and experience providing services in accordance with the terms, conditions and requirements set forth in this RFP. This RFP provides sufficient information for interested parties to prepare and submit proposals for consideration by University. By submitting a proposal, Proposer certifies that it understands this RFP and has full knowledge of the scope, nature, quality, and quantity of services to be performed, the detailed requirements of services to be provided, and the conditions under which services are to be performed. Proposer also certifies that it understands that all costs relating to preparing a response to this RFP will be the sole responsibility of the Proposer. PROPOSER IS CAUTIONED TO READ THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS RFP CAREFULLY AND TO SUBMIT A COMPLETE RESPONSE TO ALL REQUIREMENTS AND QUESTIONS AS DIRECTED.

1.2 Inquiries and Interpretations

University may in its sole discretion respond in writing to written inquiries concerning this RFP and mail its response as an Addendum to all parties recorded by University as having received a copy of this RFP. Only University’s responses that are made by formal written Addenda will be binding on University. Any verbal responses, written interpretations or clarifications other than Addenda to this RFP will be without legal effect. All Addenda issued by University prior to the Submittal Deadline will be and are hereby incorporated as a part of this RFP for all purposes. Proposers are required to acknowledge receipt of each Addendum as specified in this Section. The Proposer must acknowledge all Addenda by completing, signing and returning the Addenda Checklist (ref. Section 4 of APPENDIX ONE). The Addenda Checklist must be received by University prior to the Submittal Deadline and should accompany the Proposer’s proposal.

Any interested party that receives this RFP by means other than directly from University is responsible for notifying University that it has received an RFP package, and should provide its name, address, telephone and facsimile (FAX) numbers, and email address, to University, so that if University issues Addenda to this RFP or provides written answers to questions, that information can be provided to that party.

1.3 Public Information

Proposer is hereby notified that University strictly adheres to all statutes, court decisions and the opinions of the Texas Attorney General with respect to disclosure of public information. University may seek to protect from disclosure all information submitted in response to this RFP until such time as a final agreement is executed. Upon execution of a final agreement, University will consider all information, documentation, and other materials requested to be submitted in response to this RFP, to be of a non-confidential and non-proprietary nature and, therefore, subject to public disclosure under the Texas Public Information Act (ref. Chapter 552, Government Code). Proposer will be advised of a request for public information that implicates their materials and will have the opportunity to raise any objections to disclosure to the Texas Attorney General. Certain information may be protected from release under §§552.101, 552.104, 552.110, 552.113, and 552.131, Government Code.

1.4 Type of Agreement

Contractor, if any, will be required to enter into a contract with University in a form substantially similar to the Agreement between University and Contractor attached to this RFP as APPENDIX TWO, and otherwise acceptable to University in all respects (Agreement).

1.5 Proposal Evaluation Process

University will select Contractor by using the competitive sealed proposal process described in this Section. Any proposals that are not submitted by the Submittal Deadline or that are not accompanied by required number of completed and signed originals of the HSP will be rejected by University as non-responsive due to material failure to comply with this RFP (ref. Section 2.5.4). Upon completion of the initial review and evaluation of proposals, University may invite one or more selected Proposers to participate in oral presentations. University will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid public disclosure of the contents of a proposal prior to selection of Contractor. University may make the selection of Contractor on the basis of the proposals initially submitted, without discussion, clarification or modification. In the alternative, University may make the selection of Contractor on the basis of negotiation with any of the Proposers. In conducting negotiations, University will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid disclosing the contents of competing proposals.

University may discuss and negotiate all elements of proposals submitted by Proposers within a specified competitive range. For purposes of negotiation, University may establish, after an initial review of the proposals, a competitive range of acceptable or potentially acceptable proposals composed of the highest rated proposal(s). In that event, University may defer further action on proposals not included within the competitive range pending the selection of Contractor; provided, however, University reserves the right to include additional proposals in the competitive range if deemed to be in the best interest of University. After the Submittal Deadline but before final selection of Contractor, University may permit Proposer to revise its proposal in order to obtain the Proposer's best and final offer. In that event, representations made by Proposer in its revised proposal, including price and fee quotes, will be binding on Proposer. University will provide each Proposer within the competitive range with an equal opportunity for discussion and revision of its proposal. University is not obligated to select the Proposer offering the most attractive economic terms if that Proposer is not the most advantageous to University overall, as determined by University. University reserves the right to (a) enter into an agreement for all or any portion of the requirements and specifications set forth in this RFP with one or more Proposers, (b) reject any and all proposals and re-solicit proposals, or (c) reject any and all proposals and temporarily or permanently

http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/GV/htm/GV.552.htm







abandon this selection process, if deemed to be in the best interests of University. Proposer is hereby notified that University will maintain in its files concerning this RFP a written record of the basis upon which a selection, if any, is made by University.

1.6 Proposer's Acceptance of RFP Terms

University reserves the right to seek clarification from any Proposer concerning any item contained in its proposal prior to final selection.

12.19 Breach of Contract Claims.

12.19.1 To the extent that Chapter 2260, Texas Government Code, as it may be amended from time to time (Chapter 2260), is applicable to this Agreement and is not preempted by other Applicable Laws, the dispute resolution process provided for in Chapter 2260 will be used, as further described herein, by University and Contractor to attempt to resolve any claim for breach of contract made by Contractor:

12.19.1.1 Contractor’s claims for breach of this Agreement that the parties cannot resolve pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement or in the ordinary course of business will be submitted to the negotiation process provided in subchapter B of Chapter 2260. To initiate the process, Contractor will submit written notice, as required by subchapter B of Chapter 2260, to University in accordance with the notice provisions in this Agreement. Contractor's notice will specifically state that the provisions of subchapter B of Chapter 2260 are being invoked, the date and nature of the event giving rise to the claim, the specific contract provision that University allegedly breached, the amount of damages Contractor seeks, and the method used to calculate the damages. Compliance by Contractor with subchapter B of Chapter 2260 is a required prerequisite to Contractor's filing of a contested case proceeding under subchapter C of Chapter 2260. The chief business officer of University, or another officer of University as may be designated from time to time by University by written notice to Contractor in accordance with the notice provisions in this Agreement, will examine Contractor's claim and any counterclaim and negotiate with Contractor in an effort to resolve the claims.

12.19.1.2 If the parties are unable to resolve their disputes under

12.19.1.3 Compliance with the contested case process provided in subchapter

C of Chapter 2260 is a required prerequisite to seeking consent to sue from the Legislature under Chapter 107, Texas Civil Practices and Remedies Code. The parties hereto specifically agree that (i) neither the execution of this Agreement by University nor any other conduct, action or inaction of any representative of University relating to this Agreement constitutes or is intended to constitute a waiver of University's or the state's sovereign

immunity to suit and (ii) University has not waived its right to seek redress in the courts.

12.19.2 The submission, processing and resolution of Contractor’s claim is governed by

the published rules adopted by the Texas Attorney General pursuant to Chapter 2260, as currently effective, thereafter enacted or subsequently amended.

12.19.3 University and Contractor agree that any periods provided in this Agreement for

notice and cure of defaults are not waived. 12.20 Undocumented Workers. The Immigration and Nationality Act (8 USC §1324a)

(Immigration Act) makes it unlawful for an employer to hire or continue employment of undocumented workers. The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service has established the Form I-9 Employment Eligibility Verification Form (I-9 Form) as the document to be used for employment eligibility verification (8 CFR §274a). Among other things, Contractor is required to: (1) have all employees complete and sign the I-9 Form certifying that they are eligible for employment; (2) examine verification documents required by the I-9 Form to be presented by the employee and ensure the documents appear to be genuine and related to the individual; (3) record information about the documents on the I-9 Form, and complete the certification portion of the I-9 Form; and (4) retain the I-9 Form as required by Applicable Laws. It is illegal to discriminate against any individual (other than a citizen of another country who is not authorized to work in the United States) in hiring, discharging, or recruiting because of that individual's national origin or citizenship status. If Contractor employs unauthorized workers during performance of this Agreement in violation of the Immigration Act then, in addition to other remedies or penalties prescribed by Applicable Laws, University may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8. Contractor represents and warrants that it is in compliance with and agrees that it will remain in compliance with the provisions of the Immigration Act.

12.22 Ethics Matters; No Financial Interest. Contractor and its employees, agents, representatives and subcontractors have read and understand University’s Conflicts of Interest Policy available at http://www.uthscsa.edu/compliance and http://www.uthscsa.edu/hop2000/10.1.12.pdf. University’s Standards of Conduct Guide available http://www.uthscsa.edu/compliance, and http://www.uthscsa.edu/hop2000/10.1.2.pdf and applicable state ethics laws and rules available at www.utsystem.edu/ogc/ethics. Neither Contractor nor its employees, agents, representatives or subcontractors will assist or cause University employees to violate University’s Conflicts of Interest Policy, provisions described by University’s Standards of Conduct Guide, or applicable state ethics laws or rules. Contractor represents and warrants that no member of the Board has a direct or indirect financial interest in the transaction that is the subject of this Agreement.

Further, Contractor agrees to comply with §2252.908, Texas Government Code (Disclosure of Interested Parties Statute), and 1 TAC §§46.1 through 46.5 (Disclosure of Interested Parties Regulations), as implemented by the Texas Ethics Commission (TEC), including, among other things, providing the TEC and University with information required on the form promulgated by TEC. Proposers may learn more about these disclosure requirements, including the use of TEC’s electronic filing system, by reviewing the information on TEC’s website at https://www.ethics.state.tx.us/whatsnew/FAQ_Form1295.html.

12.23 Access by Individuals with Disabilities. Contractor represents and warrants (EIR Accessibility Warranty) the electronic and information resources and all associated information, documentation, and support Contractor provides to University under this Agreement (EIRs) comply with applicable requirements in 1 TAC Chapter 213 and 1 TAC §206.70 (ref. Subchapter M, Chapter 2054, Texas Government Code). To the extent Contractor becomes aware the EIRs, or any portion thereof, do not comply with the EIR Accessibility Warranty, then Contractor represents and warrants it will, at no cost to University, either (1) perform all necessary remediation to make the EIRs satisfy the EIR Accessibility Warranty or (2) replace the EIRs with new EIRs that satisfy the EIR Accessibility Warranty. If Contractor fails or is unable to do so, University may terminate this Agreement and, within thirty (30) days after termination, Contractor will refund to University all amounts University paid under this Agreement.

12.24 Historically Underutilized Business Subcontracting Plan. Contractor agrees to use good

faith efforts to subcontract Work in accordance with the Historically Underutilized Business Subcontracting Plan (HSP) (ref. Exhibit D). Contractor agrees to maintain business records documenting its compliance with the HSP and to submit a monthly compliance report to University in the format required by Texas Procurement and Support Services Division of the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts or any successor agency (collectively, TPSS). Submission of compliance reports will be required as a condition for payment under this Agreement. If University determines that Contractor has failed to subcontract as set out in the HSP, University will notify Contractor of any deficiencies and give Contractor an opportunity to submit documentation and explain why the failure to comply with the HSP should not be attributed to a lack of good faith effort by Contractor. If University determines that Contractor failed to implement the HSP in good faith, University, in addition to any other remedies, may report nonperformance to the TPSS in accordance with 34 TAC §§20.285(g)(5), 20.585 and 20.586. University may also revoke this Agreement for breach and make a claim against Contractor. 12.24.1 Changes to the HSP. If at any time during the Term, Contractor desires to

change the HSP, before the proposed changes become effective (a) Contractor must comply with 34 TAC §20.285; (b) the changes must be reviewed and approved by University; and (c) if University approves changes

to the HSP, this Agreement must be amended in accordance with Section 12.6 to replace the HSP with the revised subcontracting plan.

12.24.2 Expansion of Work. If University expands the scope of Work through a

change order or any other amendment, University will determine if the additional Work contains probable subcontracting opportunities not identified in the initial solicitation for Work. If University determines additional probable subcontracting opportunities exist, Contractor will submit an amended subcontracting plan covering those opportunities. The amended subcontracting plan must comply with the provisions of 34 TAC §20.285 before (a) this Agreement may be amended to include the additional Work; or (b) Contractor may perform the additional Work. If Contractor subcontracts any of the additional subcontracting opportunities identified by University without prior authorization and without complying with 34 TAC §20.285, Contractor will be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement under Section 8 and will be subject to any remedial actions provided by Applicable Laws, including Chapter 2161, Texas Government Code, and 34 TAC §20.285. University may report nonperformance under this Agreement to the TPSS in accordance with 34 TAC §§20.285(g)(5), 20.585 and 20.586.

12.25 Responsibility for Individuals Performing Work; Criminal Background Checks. Each

individual who is assigned to perform Work under this Agreement will be an employee of Contractor or an employee of a subcontractor engaged by Contractor. Contractor is responsible for the performance of all individuals performing Work under this Agreement. Prior to commencing Work, Contractor will (1) provide University with a list (List) of all individuals who may be assigned to perform Work, and (2) have an appropriate criminal background screening performed on all the individuals. Contractor will determine on a case-by-case basis whether each individual assigned to perform Work is qualified to provide the services. Contractor will not knowingly assign any individual to provide services on University’s campus who has a history of criminal conduct unacceptable for a university campus or healthcare center, including violent or sexual offenses. Contractor will update the List each time there is a change in the individuals assigned to perform Work.

Prior to commencing performance of Work under this Agreement, Contractor will provide

University a letter signed by an authorized representative of Contractor certifying compliance with this Section. Contractor will provide University an updated certification letter each time there is a change in the individuals assigned to perform Work.

12.26 Certifications of Nonsegregated Facilities and Equal Employment Opportunities

Compliance. Contractor certifies that, except for restrooms and wash rooms and one (1) or more lactation rooms each of which is segregated on the basis of sex: (1) it does not maintain or provide for its employees any segregated facilities at any of its establishments and that it does not permit its employees to perform their services at any location under its control where segregated facilities are maintained; (2) it will not maintain or provide for its employees any segregated facilities at any of its establishments; and (3) it will not permit its employees to perform their services at any location under its control where segregated facilities are maintained. A breach of this certification is a violation of the Equal Opportunity clause. Segregated facilities means any waiting rooms, work areas, rest rooms and wash rooms, entertainment areas, and transportation or housing facilities provided for employees which are segregated by explicit directive or are in fact segregated on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, because of habit, local custom, or otherwise. Contractor further agrees that, except where it has contracts prior to the award with subcontractors exceeding $10,000.00 which are not exempt from the provisions of the Equal Opportunity clause, Contractor will retain the certifications for each one of its subcontractors in Contractor’s files, and that it will forward the following notice to all








proposed subcontractors (except where the proposed subcontractors have submitted identical certifications for specific time periods):

NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE SUBCONTRACTORS OF REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTIFICATIONS OF NONSEGREGATED FACILITIES - A Certification on Nonsegregated Facilities must be submitted prior to the award of any subcontract exceeding $10,000.00 which is not exempt from the provisions of the Equal Opportunity clause. The certification may be submitted either for each subcontract or for all subcontracts during a period (i.e. quarterly, semiannually, or annually).

Contractor understands that the penalty for making false statements regarding the subject matters of this Section is prescribed in 18 USC §1001.

12.27 Debarment. Contractor confirms that neither Contractor nor its Principals are suspended,

debarred, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the award of contracts from United States (U.S.) federal government procurement or nonprocurement programs, or are listed in the List of Parties Excluded from Federal Procurement or Nonprocurement Programs (http://www.sam.gov/) issued by the U.S. General Services Administration. “Principals” means officers, directors, owners, partners, and persons having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g. general manager, plant manager, head of a subsidiary, division or business segment, and similar positions). Contractor will provide immediate written notification to University if, at any time prior to award, Contractor learns that this certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance will be placed when University executes this Agreement. If it is later determined that Contractor knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to the other remedies available to University, University may terminate this Agreement for default by Contractor.

12.28 Office of Inspector General Certification. Contractor acknowledges that University is

prohibited by federal regulations from allowing any employee, representative, agent or subcontractor of Contractor to work on site at University’s premises or facilities if that individual is not eligible to work on federal healthcare programs including Medicare, Medicaid, or other similar federal programs. Therefore, Contractor will not assign any employee, representative, agent or subcontractor that appears on the List of Excluded Individuals issued by the United States Office of the Inspector General (OIG) to work on site at University’s premises or facilities. Contractor will perform an OIG sanctions check quarterly on each of its employees, representatives, agents, and subcontractors during the time the employees, representatives, agents, or subcontractors are assigned to work on site at University’s premises or facilities. Contractor acknowledges that University will require immediate removal of any employee, representative, agent, or subcontractor of Contractor assigned to work at University‘s premises or facilities if the employee, representative, agent, or subcontractor is found to be on the OIG's List of Excluded Individuals. The OIG's List of Excluded Individuals may be accessed through the following Internet website: http://exclusions.oig.hhs.gov/

HUB Subcontracting Plan (HSP)

In accordance with Texas Gov’t Code §2161.252, the contracting agency has determined that subcontracting opportunities are probable under this contract. Therefore, all respondents, including State of Texas certified Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) must complete and submit this State of Texas HUB Subcontracting Plan (HSP) with their response to the bid requisition (solicitation).

NOTE: Responses that do not include a completed HSP shall be rejected pursuant to Texas Gov’t Code §2161.252(b).

The HUB Program promotes equal business opportunities for economically disadvantaged persons to contract with the State of Texas in accordance with the goals specified in the 2009 State of Texas Disparity Study. The statewide HUB goals defined in 34 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) §20.13 are:

• 11.2 percent for heavy construction other than building contracts,

• 21.1 percent for all building construction, including general contractors and operative builders’ contracts,

• 32.9 percent for all special trade construction contracts,

• 23.7 percent for professional services contracts,

• 26.0 percent for all other services contracts, and

• 21.1 percent for commodities contracts.

In accordance with 34 TAC §20.14(d)(1)(D)(iii), a respondent (prime contractor) may demonstrate good faith effort to utilize Texas certified HUBs for its subcontracting opportunities if the total value of the respondent’s subcontracts with Texas certified HUBs meets or exceeds the statewide HUB goal or the agency specific HUB goal, whichever is higher. When a respondent uses this method to demonstrate good faith effort, the respondent must identify the HUBs with which it will subcontract. If using existing contracts with Texas certified HUBs to satisfy this requirement, only the aggregate percentage of the contracts expected to be subcontracted to HUBs with which the respondent does not have a continuous contract* in place for more than five (5) years shall qualify for meeting the HUB goal. This limitation is designed to encourage vendor rotation as recommended by the 2009 Texas Disparity Study.

1.3. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1.3.1. Design Requirements

The UPS shall be sized to provide an initial minimum capacity of 400Kw N+1 output (unity load power factor rating) and an ultimate load of 600 Kw N+1 output. The UPS output capacity shall have the option to enable scalability at the time of ordering and shall be upgradeable by Vertiv Services. Models shall be available:

200kVA frame – Scalable from 50kVA to 200kVA (50kVA hardware increments)

The UPS shall be able to supply all required power to full rated output kVA loads with power factor from 0.5 lagging to unity. The UPS shall also work from unity power factor to 0.5 leading power factors subject to derating. Load voltage and bypass line voltage shall be 480VAC, three-phase, three-wire plus ground. Input voltage shall be 480VAC, three-phase, three-wire plus ground. The AC input source and



bypass input source shall each be a solidly grounded wye service. The battery shall support the UPS at 100% rated kW load for at least 5 minutes at 77°F (25°C) at startup. The UPS shall have an active power factor-corrected IGBT converter/rectifier, capable of maintaining input power factor and input current total harmonic distortion (THDi) within specifications without an additional input filter. The UPS shall be of transformer-free design, requiring no internal transformer in the main power path for the basic operation of the module. Optional transformers in cabinets or otherwise external to the basic UPS module shall be permissible to provide isolation and/or voltage transformation.

1.3.2. Modes of Operation

The UPS shall operate as an on-line reverse transfer system in the following modes:

A. Normal: The critical AC load shall be continuously powered by the UPS inverter. The

rectifier/charger shall derive power from the utility AC source and supply DC power to the

DC-DC converter, which in turn shall supply the inverter while simultaneously float charging

the battery.

B. ECO Mode: The critical AC load shall be continuously powered by the bypass with the

inverter available to power the load if the bypass source voltage or frequency exceeds

adjustable parameters of power quality.

C. Battery: Upon failure of utility AC power, the critical load shall be powered by the inverter,

which, without any switching, shall obtain its power from the battery plant via the DC-DC

converter. There shall be no interruption in power to the critical load upon failure or

restoration of the utility AC source.

D. Recharge: Upon restoration of the utility AC source, the rectifier shall supply power to the

batteries. This shall be an automatic function and shall cause no interruption to the critical

load.

E. Bypass: If the UPS must be taken out of service, the static transfer switch shall transfer the

load to the bypass source. The transfer process shall cause no interruption in power to the

critical load. An optional external wrap-around maintenance bypass shall be used to ensure

full isolation of the unit for the service of internal components while providing safety from arc

flash and in compliance with OSHA requirements.

F. Off-Battery: If the battery only is taken out of service, it shall be disconnected from the DC-

DC converter by means of an external disconnect circuit breaker (in the case of external

batteries). The UPS shall continue to function and meet all of the specified steady-state

performance criteria, except for the power outage backup time capability. If multiple battery

strings are used, each string shall be capable of being electrically isolated for safety during

maintenance.

2.3. Components

2.3.1. Rectifier

The term rectifier shall denote the solid-state equipment and controls necessary to convert alternating current to regulated direct current to supply the inverter and charge the battery. The DC output of the rectifier shall meet the input requirements of the inverter without the battery being connected.

2.3.2. DC-DC Converter

The term DC-DC converter shall denote the equipment and controls to regulate the output of the rectifier to the levels appropriate for charging the battery and to boost the battery voltage to the level required to operate the inverter. The DC-DC converter shall be solid-state, capable of providing rated output power and, for increased performance, shall be a pulse width-modulated design and shall utilize insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs). The DC-DC converter shall control charging of the battery. The AC ripple voltage of the charger DC shall not exceed 1% RMS of the float voltage.

A. Battery Equalize Charge

A manually initiated equalize charge feature shall be provided to apply an equalize voltage to the battery. The duration of equalize charge time shall be adjustable from 8 to 30 hours. A method shall be available to deactivate this feature for valve regulated battery systems.

B. Stop Battery Charging Function

Battery charging may be stopped by a shunt trip of the battery cabinet breaker when overtemperature is sensed in the battery cabinet, on generator or when environmental contact is closed.

C. Overvoltage Protection

There shall be DC overvoltage protection so that if the DC voltage rises to the pre-set limit, the UPS shall shut down automatically and initiate an uninterrupted load transfer to bypass or shall disconnect the battery via the DC breaker(s) in the battery string.

D. Temperature-Compensated Charging

The UPS shall adjust the battery charging voltage based on the battery temperature reported from external battery temperature sensors. When multiple sensors are used, the voltage shall be based on the average temperature measured. Excessive difference in the temperature measurements shall be reported and the charging voltage adjusted to protect the batteries from excessive current.



E. Battery Load Testing

The UPS shall be capable of performing battery load testing under operator supervision. To accomplish this, the rectifier shall reduce charging voltage to force the batteries to carry the load for a short time. If the curve of battery voltage drop indicates diminished battery capacity, the UPS shall display an alarm message. If the voltage drop indicates battery failure, the UPS shall terminate the test immediately and annunciate the appropriate alarms.

2.3.3. Inverter

The term inverter shall denote the equipment and controls to convert direct current from the rectifier or battery via the DC-DC converter to precise alternating current to power the load. The inverter shall be solid-state, capable of providing rated output power and, for increased performance, the inverter shall be a pulse-width-modulated design and shall utilize insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs). To further enhance reliable performance and efficiency, the inverter shall not require an inverter output series static switch/isolator for the purposes of overload or fault isolation or transfers to bypass.

A. Overload Capability

The inverter shall be able to withstand an overload across its output terminals while supplying full rated voltage of up to 150% for 60 seconds. The inverter shall be capable of at least 170% current for short-circuit conditions including phase-to-phase, phase-to-ground and three-phase faults. After the fault is removed, the UPS shall return to normal operation without damage. If the short circuit is sustained, the load shall be transferred to the bypass source and the inverter shall disconnect automatically from the critical load bus.

B. Output Frequency

The inverter shall track the bypass continuously, providing the bypass source maintains a frequency of 60Hz ±1% (0.6 Hz).

C. Phase-to-Phase Balance

The inverter shall provide a phase-to-phase voltage displacement of no worse than ±3% with a 100% unbalanced load.

D. Inverter Fault Sensing and Isolation

The UPS shall be provided with a means to detect a malfunctioning inverter and isolate it from the critical load bus to prevent disturbance of the critical load voltage beyond the specified limits.

E. Battery Protection

The inverter shall be provided with monitoring and control circuits to protect the battery system from damage due to excessive discharge. Inverter shutdown shall be initiated when the battery voltage has reached the end of discharge voltage. The battery end-of-discharge voltage shall be calculated and automatically adjusted for partial load conditions to allow extended operation without damaging the battery. Automatic shutdown based on discharge time shall not be acceptable.

2.3.4. Inverter Bypass Operation

When maintenance is required or when the inverter cannot maintain voltage to the load due to sustained overload or malfunction, a bypass circuit shall be provided to isolate the inverter output from the load and provide a path for power directly from an alternate AC (bypass) source. The UPS control system shall constantly monitor the availability of the inverter bypass circuit to perform a transfer. The inverter bypass circuit shall consist of a



continuous duty bypass static switch and an overcurrent protection device to isolate the static bypass switch from the bypass utility source. The bypass static switch shall denote the solid-state device incorporating SCRs (silicon controlled rectifiers) that can automatically and instantaneously connect the alternate AC source to the load.

A. Static Bypass Switch Rating

The static bypass switch shall be rated for continuous duty operation at full rated load for highest reliability without the use of mechanical devices, such as those used with a momentary rated device.

B. Manual Load Transfers

A manual load transfer between the inverter output and the alternate AC source shall be initiated from the control panel. Manually initiated transfers shall be make-before-break, utilizing the inverter and the bypass static switch.

C. Automatic Load Transfers

An automatic load transfer between the inverter output and the alternate AC source shall be initiated if an overload condition is sustained for a period in excess of the inverter output capability or due to a malfunction that would affect the output voltage. Transfers caused by overloads shall initiate an automatic retransfer of the load to the inverter only after the load has returned to a level within the rating of the inverter source and the alarm has been acknowledged.

D. Momentary Overloads

In the event of a load current inrush or branch load circuit fault in excess of the inverter rating, the bypass static switch shall connect the alternate AC source to the load for at least 600 milliseconds, allowing up to 1000% of the normal rated output current to flow. Output voltage shall be sustained to the extent the alternate AC source capacity permits. If the overload condition is removed before the end of the 600-millisecond period, the bypass static switch shall turn Off and the load shall remain on inverter power. If the overload remains, then a transfer to the alternate AC source is to be completed.

E. Back-Feed Protection

As required by UL1778 and CSA, the static transfer switch shall not back-feed UPS power to the bypass distribution system while the UPS is operating on battery during a bypass power outage. The purpose of this requirement is to prevent the risk of electrical shock on the distribution system when the normal source of power is disconnected or has failed. If a shorted SCR is detected, the static transfer switch shall be isolated by automatically tripping the upstream bypass circuit breaker and an alarm message shall be annunciated at the UPS control panel. The load shall remain on conditioned and protected power after detection of a shorted SCR and isolation of the bypass static switch.

F. Active ECO-Mode

When selected, this mode of operation shall transfer the load to the bypass source and maintain it there as long as the bypass source frequency, slew rate and voltage are within the adjusted operating parameters. While in this mode, the inverter shall remain operating to be able to instantaneously assume the load without interrupting the output voltage. Should the bypass source go outside the adjusted limits, the bypass static switch shall turn Off, isolating the load from the bypass while the inverter assumes the full critical load. The load shall be transferred from the bypass source to the inverter while maintaining the output voltage within the ITIC and CBEMA curves.



2.3.5. Display and Controls

A. UPS Control Panel

The UPS shall be provided with a microprocessor-based control panel for operator interface (may also be referred to as User Interface, or UI) to configure and monitor the UPS. The control panel shall be located on the front of the unit where it can be operated without opening the hinged front door. A backlit, menu-driven, full-graphics, color touchscreen liquid crystal display shall be used to display system information, metering information, a one-line diagram of the UPS and battery, active events and event history.

Uninterruptible Power Supply - EATON

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

This specification describes a three-phase continuous duty, on-line, double conversion, three-level converter topology, solid-state uninterruptible power system, hereafter referred to as the UPS. The UPS shall operate in conjunction with the building electrical system to provide power conditioning, back-up and distribution for critical electrical loads. The UPS system shall consist of, as required by the project, the UPS module, battery cabinet(s), maintenance bypass, and other features as described in this specification.

1.2 UPS SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

A. UPS System Components: The UPS system shall consist of the following main components:

1. One integrated system bypass module (ISBM) and one or more internal uninterruptible power modules (UPM’s). The ISBM includes a Static Bypass and associated Control and Monitor Panel, and each UPM includes a Rectifier, Inverter, and Battery Charger.

2. Battery string(s) in matching Battery Cabinets.

3. Matching accessory cabinets for maintenance bypass.

4. Non-matching wall mounted or floor standing maintenance bypass cabinets.

B. UPM Modes of Operation: Each UPM shall operate as an on-line, fully automatic system in the following modes:

1. Standard: Utilizing commercial AC power, the critical load shall be continuously supplied by the Inverter. The Inverter shall power the load while regulating both voltage and frequency. The Rectifier shall derive power from the commercial AC source and shall supply DC power to the Inverter. Simultaneously, the Battery Charger shall charge the battery.

2. Battery: Upon failure of the commercial AC power, the critical load shall continue to be supplied by the Inverter, which shall obtain power from the batteries without any operator intervention. There shall be no interruption to the critical load upon failure or restoration of the commercial AC source.

3. Recharge: Upon restoration of the AC source, the Charger shall recharge the batteries or flywheel and simultaneously the Rectifier shall provide power to the Inverter. This shall be an automatic function and shall cause no interruption to the critical load.

4. Bypass: If the UPM must be taken out of the Online mode for overload, load fault, or internal failures, the static bypass switch shall automatically transfer the critical load to the commercial AC power. Return from Bypass mode to Normal mode of operation shall be automatic. No-break transfer to and from Bypass mode shall be capable of being initiated manually from the front panel.

5. Energy Saver (ESS) Feature: The UPS shall continuously monitor the voltage and frequency of the bypass source. When the source parameters are within acceptable limits, the UPS will utilize a minimal/optimal combination of its internal subsystems to ensure acceptable power is always delivered to the critical load, at a system efficiency of 99% or greater, over the range of 10% to 100% load. The Energy Saver System shall be enabled by the user, and shall be adjustable. It shall incorporate a “High Alert Mode” to automatically (without user intervention) provide maximum power conditioning any time bypass source variation levels exceed preset, adjustable limits. When Energy Saver System is utilized, the UPS must attenuate ANSI C62.41-type line transients to within IEC and ITIC limits. The Energy Saver System shall be able to distinguish between upstream (utility) faults and downstream (load) faults, and react appropriately to protect and support the critical load, without interruption.

6. Variable Module Management System Feature: The modular UPS shall offer the ability to scale its capacity and/or redundancy by automatically shifting load to fewer 300 kW power modules (aka. UPM’s). The UPS shall provide an optional Variable Module Management System (VMMS),



which will control the UPS to selectively place unnecessary UPM’s in the “ready-state” based on the sensed output load level. This is in order to drive the load higher on the remaining UPM’s. Therefore, with multiple UPM’s, a UPS shall achieve 1-2% higher efficiencies than conventional operation when loaded less than 30% of system rating.

3.3. LIEBERT ICOM® CONTROL METHODS AND OPTIONS

The Liebert iCOM shall be factory-set to allow precise monitoring and control of the condition of the air entering and leaving the unit. This control shall include predictive methods to control air flow and cooling capacity based control sensors installed. Proportional and Tunable PID shall also be user-selectable options.

3.4. CONTROLLING SENSOR OPTIONS

Liebert iCOM shall be flexible in the sense that it shall allow for controlling the capacity and fan from multiple different sensor selections. The sensor selections shall be:

Cooling Capacity

Supply

Remote

Return



Fan Speed

• Supply

• Remote

• Return

• Manual (for diagnostic or to receive a signal from the BMS through the Liebert remote monitoring devices or analog input)

3.4.1. Temperature Compensation

The Liebert iCOM shall be able to adjust the capacity output based on supply and return temperature conditions to meet SLA guidelines while operating to highest efficiency.

3.4.2. Humidity Control

Dew point and relative humidity control methods shall be available (based on user preference) for humidity control within the conditioned space.

3.5. MULTI-UNIT COORDINATION

Liebert iCOM teamwork shall save energy by preventing multiple units in an area from operating in opposing modes. Teamwork allows the control to optimize a group of connected cooling units equipped with Liebert iCOM using the U2U (Unit-to-Unit) network. There shall be three modes of teamwork operation:

Teamwork Mode 1: Is best in small rooms with balanced heat loads. The controlling temperature and humidity sensor readings of all units in operation (fan on) are collected to be used for an average or worst case sensor reading (user selectable). The master unit shall send the operating requirements to all operating units in the group. The control band (temperature, fan and humidity) is divided and shared among the units in the group.

Teamwork Mode 2: The Liebert iCOM calculates the worse-case demand for heating, cooling humidification and dehumidification. Based on the greatest demand within the group, each unit operates independently, meaning that the unit may respond to the thermal load and humidity conditions based on the unit's controlling sensors.

Teamwork Mode 3 - Optimized Aisle: May be employed in large and small rooms with varying heat loads. Optimized Aisle is the most efficient teamwork mode that allows the unit to match cooling capacity with heat load. In the Optimized Aisle mode, the fans operate in parallel. Fans can be controlled exclusively by remote temperature or using static pressure with a secondary remote temperature sensor(s) as an override to ensure that the inlet rack temperature is being met. Cooling is controlled through unit supply air conditions. Liebert iCOM calculates the average or worst-case sensor reading (user-selectable) for heating, cooling humidification and dehumidification. Based on the demand within the group, units will be allowed to operate within that mode until room conditions are satisfied.

3.6. STANDBY LEAD-LAG

The Liebert iCOM® shall allow scheduled rotation to keep equal run time on units and provide automated emergency rotation of operating and standby units.

3.7. STANDBY UNIT CASCADING

The Liebert iCOM cascade option shall allow the units to turn On and Off based on heat load when utilizing Optimized Aisle, Teamwork Mode 3 and remote temperature sensors. Cascade mode dynamically coordinates the fan speed to save energy and to meet the cooling demands. For instance, with a Liebert iCOM group of six units and only 50% of the heat load, the Liebert iCOM shall operate only four units at 80% fan speed and leave the other two units in standby. As the heat load increases, the Liebert iCOM shall automatically respond to the additional load and



bring on another unit, increasing the units in operation to five. As the heat load shifts, up or down, the control shall meet the needs by cascading units On or putting them into standby.

3.8. WIRED SUPPLY SENSOR

Each Liebert iCOM shall have one factory-supplied and connected supply air sensor that may be used as a controlling sensor or reference. When multiple sensors are applied for control purposes, the user shall be able to control based on a maximum or average temperature reading.

3.9. VIRTUAL MASTER

As part of the robust architecture of the Liebert iCOM control, it shall allow for a virtual master that coordinates operation. The Virtual Master function shall provide smooth control operation if the group's communication is compromised. When the lead unit, which is in charge of component staging in teamwork, unit staging and standby rotation, becomes disconnected from the network, the Liebert iCOM shall automatically assign a virtual master. The virtual master shall assume the same responsibilities as the master until communication is restored.

3.10. LIEBERT MC™

Units may be matched to a premium efficiency condenser control with enhanced monitoring, alarming and diagnostics. The condenser control shall have an automated, low-noise mode and fan reversal for cleaning mode.

3.11. SYSTEM AUTO RESTART

The auto restart feature shall automatically restart the system after a power failure. Time delay shall be programmable.

3.12. SEQUENTIAL LOAD ACTIVATION

On initial startup or restart after power failure, each operational load shall be sequenced with a minimum delay of one second to minimize total inrush current.

3.13. RACK TEMPERATURE SENSORS

The Liebert CRV shall be provided with three 2T rack temperature sensors, each consisting of a vented case with two temperature probes. The sensors shall provide real-time, direct feedback to the cooling unit to optimize the amount of cooling and airflow provided. The sensor data shall be available to remote BMS and monitoring systems. The sensor network shall consist of one CAN wire leaving the cooling unit and connecting to a 2T sensor. Each remaining 2T sensor is connected to the previous sensor.

3.13.1. Additional Rack Temperature Sensor(s)

Provide two additional 2T rack temperature sensors

3.14. COMMUNICATION INTERFACES

3.14.1. Remote Shutdown Terminal The remote shutdown terminal shall provide a location to remotely shut down the unit, complying with the National Fire Code.

3.14.2. Common Alarm Contact The common alarm contact shall provide a set of normally open contacts for remote indication of unit alarms.



3.14.3. Liebert IntelliSlot® Unity-DP™ Card The Liebert IntelliSlot Unity Card (IS-UNITY-DP) shall provide ground fault isolated RS-485 Modbus, BACnet IP and Modbus IP network connectivity to Building Management Systems for unit monitoring and management. Also, it shall provide ground fault isolated 10/100 baseT Ethernet connectivity for unit monitoring and management. The supported management interfaces include: SNMP for Network Management Systems, HTTP for Web page viewing, SMTP for e-mail and SMS for mobile messaging.
