It appears that because of a number of different control surveys done on a large facilities site there are differences vertically of about .3'.

There are a whole bunch of different horizontal systems on site including coordinates from another state, horizontal is pretty easy to deal with, but, the .3' vertical is causing all kinds of issues; can anyone say OPUS?

This looks like the same .3' that showed up about a decade ago with a new OPUS/GEOID model scheme.

Mixing and matching elevations is a bad idea.

I suppose they recorded little or no metadata on the old control? You should be able to convert between geoid models if you know which ones the elevations are from.
