Director of General Services Administration
ENCLOSURES:
The Department of General Services Administration is seeking to establish the purchase and replacement
of the variable air volume (VAV) boxes for the Miami Riverside Building. The Metasys Building
Management System currently used by City at the Miami Riverside Center (MRC) building was approved as
a Sole Source in 1995 via Resolution No. 95-803. This management system is proprietary to Johnson
Controls, Inc. and requires the use of these components that would otherwise not be considered sole
source items but rather standalone pieces.
It is in the best interest of the City of Miami to purchase the VAV boxes from Johnson Controls, Inc. to
ensure that the Metasys system's warranty is protected and that the VAV boxes are compatible with the
system.
Thank you in advance for your assistance with this and all other procurement related matters; and we look
forward to your positive response.
