Storm Water Pumping Station PLC Panel and SCADA Upgrade

The City of West Allis, Wisconsin, located in Milwaukee County, is seeking proposals for a comprehensive Storm Water Pumping Station PLC Panel and SCADA Upgrade project, identified as RFP #PW-25018. The procurement involves a turnkey solution to replace existing monitor systems with modern automation technology at the Grant Street Pumping Station, specifically requiring the design, assembly, programming, and deployment of a new control system. Key deliverables include installing an Allen Bradley 5069 CompactLogix programmable logic controller, a PanelView touchscreen interface, and a High-Tide Gen-2 cellular dialer for remote monitoring. Vendors must demonstrate extensive technical qualifications, providing documentation of at least three similar municipal storm pumping station SCADA and PLC upgrade projects completed within the past five years, with specific experience using Allen Bradley CompactLogix systems and cellular-based SCADA platforms. The proposal will be evaluated across five criteria: technical qualifications and experience (35 points), pricing (30 points), project management and implementation approach (20 points), system performance and reliability (10 points), and support and warranty provisions (5 points). Proposals are due on Monday, October 13, 2025, at 1:00 PM CT, with a pre-bid meeting scheduled between September 29 and October 3, 2025, and an anticipated award date of Friday, October 24, 2025.

The RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The procurement requires a monitoring-only SCADA system configuration with real-time data visualization, historical trending, and alarm management capabilities, which will be submitted through the Bonfire online bidding platform. Vendors must complete a Conflict of Interest Disclosure and Non-Collusion Statement, affirming independent proposal preparation and disclosing any potential conflicts with city officers, administrators, or their immediate family. The contract includes a one-year parts and labor warranty, and the total cost submission should comprehensively break down hardware, software, assembly, programming, testing, installation coordination, commissioning, and warranty coverage. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documents, the proposal emphasizes the need for a competitive, comprehensive solution that meets the city's technical and operational requirements for storm water management infrastructure. Proposals will be evaluated based on their ability to provide a robust, reliable, and technologically advanced SCADA system that enhances the city's monitoring and control capabilities.
