Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition SCADA System Maintenance and Repair Service

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) is seeking a contractor to provide Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System Maintenance and Repair Services for the California Correctional Institution's Wastewater and Water Treatment Plants in Susanville. The procurement is structured as an Invitation for Bid (IFB) with bid number 6000002017, seeking a provider to deliver comprehensive maintenance and emergency repair services for SCADA equipment. Key deliverables include preventative maintenance, emergency repairs, and system support, with specific requirements for response times: service requests must be addressed within 24 hours and emergency repairs within 8 hours. The contractor must provide all labor, travel, per diem, parts, supplies, transportation, and associated expenses. Bidders must possess a valid California Contractors State License Board "C-7" specialty license and/or "C-10" license, and employ a minimum of two qualified service technicians. The bid submission deadline is April 12, 2016, at 2:00 pm, with a public bid opening at 2:30 pm. The anticipated contract period is from July 1, 2016, or upon approval, through June 30, 2018.

While the solicitation is exempt from Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) requirements, the state remains committed to achieving legislatively established DVBE participation goals. The contract includes a comprehensive rate structure covering maintenance/inspection/repair services, with estimated quantities for normal and outside business hours, and emergency calls. The total parts replacement budget is fixed at $5,000 for the contract term, and CDCR reserves the right to augment the agreement dollar amount by 50%. Pricing will include hourly rates for various service categories, with a prompt payment discount of at least 0.5% (or $50.00 minimum) available for invoices paid within 30 days, which may serve as a tiebreaker in the event of equal bids. The estimated service volumes include 150 hours of maintenance/inspection/repair during normal business hours, 24 hours of non-emergency repairs outside normal hours, and 24 hours of emergency calls. While no incumbent vendor is specified, the contract appears designed to maintain existing SCADA infrastructure at the correctional facility's treatment plants.
