Bisulfate Scada Improvements

The state and local contract opportunity posted by Douglas County, Oregon, focuses on a Bisulfate SCADA Improvements project for the Roseburg Urban Sanitary Authority (RUSA). The procurement seeks a qualified contractor to furnish, install, test, document, and start up a comprehensive control system that encompasses two bisulfite pumps, one alum pump, and three residual analyzers. The project involves detailed electrical and control system implementation, including PLC control panel assembly, analog and digital I/O modules, fiber optic and ethernet communications, and comprehensive field wiring between the control systems and associated equipment. The contract opportunity was posted on January 31, 2024, with a response deadline of February 29, 2024, providing potential bidders approximately one month to prepare and submit their proposals. The attached technical drawings (RUSA_Bisulfite_Controls_100Percent_Dwgs.pdf) provide extensive details about the project specifications, including site plans, control panel configurations, network diagrams, and installation requirements.

The contract opportunity documentation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or incumbent vendor information. The project appears to be a technological upgrade for the existing RUSA infrastructure, focusing on improving control systems for water treatment-related equipment. While the exact budget or award value is not specified in the available documents, the comprehensive nature of the control system implementation and the detailed technical specifications suggest a significant investment in upgrading municipal infrastructure. The project will require vendors with specialized expertise in SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, electrical engineering, pump control systems, and industrial network communications. Potential bidders will need to demonstrate technical proficiency in designing, installing, and commissioning complex control systems for municipal water treatment facilities, with a strong understanding of PLC programming, network integration, and industrial control technologies.
