Pump Station Control and SCADA Communications Panels

Orange County, Florida is seeking sealed electronic bids for a term contract to procure Pump Station Control and SCADA Communications Panels through Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. Y22-1019. The procurement specifically involves Siemens Simocode Series Soft Start duplex and triplex pump control panels for 240V and 480V applications, with motor ratings ranging from 5HP to 88HP. Detailed technical specifications require UL 508A labeling, specific pilot light and phase monitor models, emergency breakers, and compliance with various electrical and safety standards. Bids are due by 4:00 PM EST on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, and must be submitted exclusively through the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform, with no alternative submission methods permitted. The contract will have an initial one-year term with potential for two additional one-year renewals, and vendors must commit to a 90-calendar-day delivery timeline after order receipt. The county will evaluate bids based on responsiveness, vendor responsibility, and lowest pricing, with a focus on identifying the most competitive and technically compliant proposal.

The solicitation includes potential preferences for Minority Women Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) and Registered Service Disabled Veteran (SDV) bidders within specified bid amount ranges. While no minimum purchase commitment is guaranteed, the county reserves the right to award the contract based on comprehensive evaluation criteria. Pricing is expected to remain firm for the entire contract period, with a potential price adjustment mechanism tied to the Producer Price Index (PPI) at contract renewal, limited to a maximum 4% increase unless explicitly authorized by the Procurement Division. The procurement appears open to qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications and demonstrating the ability to provide high-quality pump station control and SCADA communication panels. No specific incumbent vendors are mentioned in the available documentation, and the solicitation suggests an open competitive bidding process designed to secure the most advantageous technical and financial proposal for Orange County's infrastructure needs.
