    Energy-management specialist Schneider Electric recently announced it is one of 13 firms awarded a contract for engineering and services necessary for the procurement of new and/or the upgrading of direct-digital-control, HVAC, supervisory-control-and-data-acquisition, and other automated control systems at government facilities worldwide.

    Awarded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering and Support Center in Huntsville, Ala., the indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract also will provide for the monitoring and control of utilities for government facilities, municipalities, and educational institutions so specific installation requirements can be met.

    The contract has an estimated capacity of $2.5 billion shared among all awardees.

    Described by a colleague as "a cyborg ... requir(ing) virtually no sleep, no time off, and bland nourishment that can be consumed while at his desk" who was sent "back from the future not to terminate anyone, but with the prime directive 'to edit dry technical copy' in order to save the world at a later date," Scott Arnold joined the editorial staff of HPAC Engineering in 1999. Prior to that, he worked as an editor for daily newspapers and a specialty-publications company. He has a bachelor's degree in journalism from Kent State University.
