• GMD staff are not SCADA experts. The description included in this RFP is to be used as a general descriptive guide only. Potential contractors will be required to make onsite visits for both facilities and verify and collect any additional information needed to submit a proposal for the project.

• Because all locations and facilities are in use and fully operational, all upgrades shall be completed in a systematic and timely fashion to minimize interruptions to daily operations. The contractor shall allow for and include all costs to ensure that the systems always remain functional. GMD recognizes during the upgrade sites will be down for limited times during transitions. Any outages must be communicated and coordinated well ahead of time and systems shall be fully operational prior to the conclusion of each workday, unless agreed upon beforehand in writing. The SCADA system integrator shall coordinate with GMD’s project manager to ensure system functionality during upgrades.

• All work is to be coordinated with each of the two plant superintendents and scheduled to be completed no later than 2:30 PM each workday.

9. SCADA Software Upgrades Physical and/or Cloud Responsibilities
