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.
