Process Control System Integrator

The North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) is seeking Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) from professional service firms specializing in process control system integration through Request for Qualifications (RFQ) No. 26-008-Q. The procurement aims to develop a pre-qualified contractor list valid through September 30, 2027, for future project support and maintenance activities. Contractors must demonstrate extensive technical capabilities, including employing a registered Professional Control Systems Engineer, possessing a minimum of ten years industry experience, and maintaining specific certifications such as Cisco CCNA and Allen-Bradley PLC programming. The scope of work encompasses comprehensive technical services including instrumentation verification, calibration, control system programming, network configuration, cybersecurity support, and onsite training. Key technical requirements involve demonstrating proficiency with water and wastewater industry control systems, various communication protocols, and complex network environments. The pre-submittal meeting is scheduled for September 15, 2025, at 10:00 AM Central Time, with final submittals due by September 29, 2025, at 11:00 AM Central Time. Proposals can be submitted electronically via ntmwd.bonfirehub.com or physically delivered to the NTMWD Procurement Department in Wylie, Texas.

While the RFQ does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, it establishes rigorous qualifications that will significantly influence vendor selection. The procurement appears open to qualified professional service firms with demonstrated expertise in industrial control systems, particularly those with substantial experience in municipal water and wastewater infrastructure. Potential contractors must showcase robust technical capabilities across multiple control system platforms, network architectures, and communication protocols. The RFQ suggests multiple project opportunities throughout the year, indicating potential for ongoing work beyond the initial pre-qualification period. Although no specific budget range is detailed in the provided documentation, the comprehensive technical requirements and broad scope suggest a potentially significant contract value for selected integrators. The pre-qualification process will likely evaluate vendors based on their technical expertise, professional certifications, industry experience, and demonstrated capabilities in complex control system environments specific to water infrastructure management.
