Background;

The building already has a 12 year old BTU metering system installed. A large portion of the meters are not functioning properly or providing the required meter readings. The objective is to provide a low cost option to refurbish the existing system and bring it back to full operation in compliance with the current RSB regulations.

Prior to submitting a proposal, each bidder must survey the existing system to fully understand the system architecture and associated networked components. From the survey and soft readings, the bidders must develop a proposal which will restore the system to full operation with one year AMC and warranty for any new components fitted as part of the proposal. 

     Priority will be given to bidders who provide a solution retaining as much of the existing components as possible. 

1. Supply and Installation

• Replacement of defective  BTU meters, sensors, batteries or other networking devices, ensuring compliance with RSB regulations for accurate energy measurement. The exact number of components to be replaced will be determined by the bidder following the detailed system survey.
• Ensure components used meet all current technical guidelines adopted in the UAE.
• The components installed must be compatible with the existing infrastructure and software to limit the costs. 
• Conduct proper calibration and commissioning of each new or repaired meter to ensure confidence and accurate readings.
• Verify that all sellable Units in the building are fully metered.
• Provide full commissioning reports recording the location of all new components installed and the results of tests conducted to verify the proper metering function.
• Test the network and replace or repair any faulty cables, connectors, power supplies or network devices that are faulty.
• Test the existing pc hardware and software to ensure proper functioning, correct identification of the metering devices and associated units.
• Submit test and commissioning reports to the Management for approval.

2. Warranty

• Provide full warranty support covering parts and labour for one year, for all new components installed.

3. Annual Maintenance Contract

• Provide a comprehensive maintenance contract for all serviceable devices connected to the metering network for one year.  Lump sum basis.
• Provide monthly system inspection and data validation for one year. Lump Sum basis.

4. Provisional sums

• Provide an estimate for any contingencies which the bidder wishes to be included in the proposal as a provisional sum. Provisional sums may only be expended at the discretion of the Management and will only be used for scope which could be reasonably foreseen but unquantifiable. 

5. Training and Handover

• Allow for conducting training sessions for facility management staff on system operation, troubleshooting, and RSB compliance.
• Provide user manuals, calibration certificates, and warranty documents for reference.
