Design, Installation, Maintenance and Repair of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System.

The City of Zephyrhills is soliciting proposals for the design, installation, maintenance, and repair of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. The project focuses on standardizing the City's lift stations, potable water wells, and water tower locations using the Badger Meters (formerly SmartCover and Data Flow Systems) SCADA system. Key deliverables include 100% construction documents, estimated probable costs for civil design including permitting, and classroom-style training on basic SCADA software operation. The system must support various communication protocols, including MODBUS TCP. The contract features an initial three-year term with the option for two subsequent three-year renewals, with performance centered at 39421 South Avenue in Zephyrhills, Florida. The selection process is multi-stage, beginning with a written evaluation based on technical depth, firm qualifications, and team experience. A shortlist of three firms will be invited for interviews, where they will be evaluated on their methodology, problem-solving abilities, and communication. The top-ranked vendor will then enter negotiations. Applicants must provide comprehensive documentation, including organizational charts, resumes for key personnel, and several mandatory affidavits regarding public entity crimes, human trafficking, and labor coercion. Insurance requirements include comprehensive general liability and worker's compensation with minimum policy limits of $1,000,000 combined single limits. Payments will be processed via ACH-EFT.
