Also, you must be able to formally meet in person due to State University System regulations. ITEM NO 48. Hard copies of the proposals are required and will not be accepted through email.

Page 7 of 22

ITEM NO 49. The PQS form is located on our www.usfsp.edu/sustainability/ below the RFP under “Current Projects” ITEM NO 50. As built drawings, will be provided in a zip file of the buildings along with the Addendum (College of Business & Poynter Lab as builts are currently unavailable but will be provided as soon as they are available). Please refer to these plans for any questions in regards to Electrical, Plumbing and HVAC. ITEM NO 51. The University requires documentation of work performed and direction by a registered Florida Professional Engineer for mechanical and electrical work performed. ITEM NO 52. The contractor will need to have liability insurance meeting and provide the University with a Certificate of Liability Insurance form which will include USF as the certificate holder. USF requires general liability to be a minimum amount of $1,000,000.00. When adding USF as the certificate holder please address the holder as “University of South Florida Board of Trustees”. ITEM NO 53. We have limited historical utility data. Utility data is available per meter/building (limited), per month (limited), per cost (limited), per usage, per fiscal year. For the solar array we have data that has been stored for the past two years through Lucid (Building OS) and SolarEdge.

ITEM NO 54.

USFSP understands that Software-As-A-Service (SAAS) will likely include an annual cost which

we are prepared to handle. It would be best for you, the vendor, to separate the costs

individually in order for the University to determine what will be a one-time cost (i.e.

hardware/installation) in addition to what would be a reoccurring cost (i.e. SAAS). This will help

us better determine future budgeting beyond our current finance

Page 8 of 22

ITEM NO 55.

The newly renovated Poynter Lab building will have a 40kW solar carport array (120 total 72 cell

Canadian Solar panels) constructed to the north end of the building which will help power the

building through the MDP. Currently our subcontractors are conducting the energy model of the

building to better determine the volts/amps. The building itself had a major renovation and

change-of-function thus past energy models for this building are insufficient. Thus, the energy

data for this building is pending.

ITEM NO 56.

In regards to metering the kwh consumption of Barnes and Noble separately from the parking

garage. We figure to just submeter the parking garage as a whole (Barnes & Noble included),

however, Barnes & Noble likely consumes most of the buildings energy usage thus if funding

allows then it would be great to meter them separately.

ITEM NO 57. Due to building priority and funding constraints, Harbor Hall was not identified as a key priority

for this project as compared to several other buildings evaluated.

ITEM NO 58.

The USFSP Facilities Services crew is interested in pursuing energy analytic packages.

ITEM NO 59.

Points read from meters at a minimum: chilled water (BTU, GPM, Temp-in, Temp-out), electric

(KWH, KW) and domestic potable water (GPM). Read other points as needed to enhance

dashboard outputs. Electrical data however is the immediate priority in terms of current project

funding.

ITEM NO 60. Preferred location of the potable water meters should be inside the building, but will depend on each building.

ITEM NO 61. Network drop costs will vary based on the level of difficulty and material for each drop. Complications such as drilling through walls, running conduit, cable fishes that require two people increase the man hour costs. Extra materials such as conduit, cable hangers and firewall putty can also change quotes.

Page 9 of 22

ITEM NO 62.

Bulk metering at the building level is preferred over per floor metering.

ITEM NO 63.

Building monitoring should be made the priority for this project (in order to collect data and set

baselines – data should be able to be stored for several years for research purposes); then

USFSP can focus on retro-commissioning to better identify inefficiencies.

ITEM NO 64.

Kiosk displays are existing touch screen units located throughout the campus, at 7 locations:

Bayboro Hall (BAY), Parking Garage (FPF), University Student Center (USC), Student Life

Center (SLC), Harbor Hall (HH), Poynter Nelson Library (POY) and Science Technology Center

(STG). The same data is transmitted and displayed on each kiosk. The kiosks are interactive.

ITEM NO 65.

Campus News on the Advanced Dashboard, Smart Phone and Digital Kiosks should display

similar energy information.

In addition to energy information, and added selection is, Campus News. The Campus News

shall be easily updatable by the owner’s representative. Such events as: Semester begin dates

(Fall, Spring, Summer session A, Summer session B, Summer session C), Registration begin

dates, Registration end dates (without having to pay $100 late fee), Financial Aid deadlines,

Class Withdrawal deadlines, Final Exam begin dates, Deadlines for Graduation application,

Holidays, and other Deadlines, Events, How to be a part of said event, etc., shall be able to be

incorporated into the displays.

Page 10 of 22

ITEM NO 66.

Advanced Dashboard, Smart Phone and Digital Kiosks.

Some information on the existing Kiosks are of interest to keep and some can go. Coordinate

final look and display information through Brian Pullen. The following information is of interest

on the displayed information:

a. 3-D map of campus including building acronyms.

b. Selection of each building and solar panels will open a new screen with specific

information on that building or solar panel.

c. Information for the specific building will include: name, acronym, square footage, solar

panel KW rating, real time energy use, weather normalization.

d. Incorporate a weather widget on each page.

e. Green tips/news.

f. Display energy use for each building (graphs)

g. Compare building energy use to other similar buildings in Florida.

h. Compared floor to floor energy use for the Residence Hall One (RHO) building.

i. Solar panels display should show:

a. Energy generated from Solar Panels / Photovoltaics (PV).

b. Energy delivered to the grid.

c. Energy delivered to the batteries.

d. Energy consumed from Solar Panels / Photovoltaics (PV).

e. Energy consumed from the batteries.

f. Energy used on campus.

j. Campus News (see above item).

k. Clubs.

*ALL SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS MUST ALLOW THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA

SYSTEM TO OWN THE DATA (I.E IF CONTRACT ENDS, USF RESERVES THE RIGHT TO

KEEP THE DATA).

Page 11 of 22

ITEM NO 67.

The existing Kiosks have the following displays. There are some feature that are of interest to

keep however there is a desires to redo how and what is displayed. The following images are
