Water System Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA)

The City of Wray, located in Otero County, Colorado, is seeking sealed proposals for a comprehensive Water Treatment and Water Storage Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System procurement and integration project. The solicitation covers the implementation of a new SCADA system for five water storage tanks, five groundwater well sites, two pump stations, and three pumps at the water treatment facility. Proposers must assess the existing water system, identify current SCADA deficiencies, develop detailed design plans, procure necessary materials and equipment, install and configure the new system, and provide staff training. The evaluation of proposals will be conducted using a 100-point scoring system, with points allocated as follows: municipal experience (30 points), technical support and training (25 points), project timeline (10 points), system integration (15 points), and purchase price (20 points). Key procurement dates include a non-mandatory pre-bid conference on May 23, 2025, at 1:00 p.m., and proposal submissions due by 12:00 p.m. local time on June 4, 2025.

The City of Wray has established specific requirements for potential bidders, including mandatory insurance documentation and bonding for proposals exceeding $50,000, which will require performance, payment, and maintenance bonds. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the RFP indicates that the City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and negotiate terms. Proposers must submit an estimated cost for the first two years of an operations service contract, along with continuing service contract pricing on a yearly basis. The City requires bidders to provide a certificate of liability and worker's compensation insurance, with the City of Wray to be named as an additional insured. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the SCADA system implementation suggests a significant investment in modernizing the city's water infrastructure technology.
