SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION:
The Lacombe Research and Development Centre (LaRDC) which provides direct oversight of the Beaverlodge Research Farm uses Delta Controls as the building management system. It is imperative that the Beaverlodge Research Farm use the same building management system so the Facility Manager Lacombe is able to monitor the site at a distance. Also, the Beaverlodge Research Farm already has Delta controls in their Administration building. Delta Controls are thus required to maintain compatibility with the existing systems in place at the site. ESC is the sole distributor of Delta Building Controls and the building controls software is proprietary to ESC.
