The Multnomah County Drainage District No. 1 (MCDD), along with Peninsula Drainage Districts No. 1 and No. 2, and Sandy Drainage Improvement Company, are seeking on-call Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system services through a Request for Proposals (RFP). The procurement targets qualified firms experienced in SCADA system upgrades, programming, and maintenance services for existing infrastructure. Key deliverables include equipment upgrades, SCADA system evaluation, redesign, installation, and ongoing maintenance, with specific requirements for replacing programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and potential upgrades to SCADA computer hardware and software. The RFP requires vendors to provide recommendations for PLC selection, system hardware and software upgrades, and replacement parts. Proposals were due on February 27, 2023, at 2:00 PM PST, with no pre-proposal conference scheduled. The solicitation emphasizes rapid response capabilities, including a 2-hour on-site response during normal business hours and a 6-hour response during evenings and weekends. Vendors must demonstrate expertise in systems like Cimplicity 9, Proficy Machine Edition software, and potential integration with Emerson RX3i PLCs.

The multi-district, non-exclusive price agreement has an anticipated budget not-to-exceed $768,000, with allocations broken down as $468,000 for MCDD, $78,000 each for PEN 1 and SDIC, and $144,000 for PEN 2. Compensation will be structured on a time and materials basis with no-to-exceed amounts based on each district's budget.
