Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)

The City of South Salt Lake is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to procure electrical Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system services for its wastewater infrastructure. The primary objectives include separating the SCADA system from the water system network for enhanced security, stabilizing and upgrading existing wastewater SCADA infrastructure, expanding the system to support new storm water stations and a new Main Lift Wastewater Station, upgrading local operator interfaces at identified wastewater lift stations, and restoring full monitoring and control functionality. Key deliverables and scope elements include network segmentation and security implementation, repair and upgrade of existing systems, replacement or reprogramming of operator interface touch screens at three lift stations, integration of new storm water stations and main lift wastewater station equipment, master/slave control configuration, secure mobile device access capabilities, data collection and reporting functionality, contractor-provided training, and ongoing maintenance and support services. Qualified contractors must demonstrate relevant experience with at least five public sector projects completed within the last five years and submit Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) of four to fifteen pages including a letter of introduction, point of contact and team information, detailed qualifications, and a comprehensive fee schedule with hourly rates and cost analyses covering capital, operating, and life cycle costs. Proposals will be evaluated on relevant experience and qualifications (30%), understanding of the project and proposed approach (30%), references (20%), and detailed cost breakdown (20%). All SOQs and fee schedules must be submitted through the Utah Procurement Place website (Bonfire) by 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time on Thursday, May 7, 2026, with the winning consultant to be notified by 5:00 p.m. on May 14, 2026, and contract negotiations to be completed by June 14, 2026. Inquiries regarding the RFQ must be directed to City Recorder Ariel Andrus at (801) 483-6019 or aandrus@sslc.gov and must be received at least 48 hours prior to the submittal deadline.

The RFQ documentation does not specify set-aside designations, restrictions on organizational types, or disadvantaged enterprise requirements. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available procurement documentation. The selected contractor will enter into an Electrical Services Agreement with the City and will be compensated at a set hourly rate on a time-and-materials basis, with compensation not to exceed a specified annual amount; however, the specific contract value or budget range is not disclosed in the publicly available documents. The contractor must maintain workers' compensation insurance with employer's liability coverage of at least $1,000,000 per accident and liability insurance of at least $2,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 in aggregate, naming the City as an additional insured. The contract term extends from execution through June 30, 2028, with the agreement terminable by either party with 30 days' advance written notice. All work products, documents, and designs become the property of the City upon payment, and the selected contractor will work collaboratively with South Salt Lake's Engineering Department and Public Works Department throughout the project duration.
