Gas Pipeline Flow Computer Replacements

The Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) is soliciting proposals under solicitation RITM0126332.GH for the replacement of obsolete ABB Totalflow XFC flow computers across four specific sites: Campbells, Carson, Procter & Gamble, and CPP M&R stations. The project requires the integration of new flow computers with existing ABB NGC8206 gas chromatographs and the transition of Modbus communications to DNP3. The scope of work includes engineering design, the provision of four gas flow computers, on-site commissioning support, and 100 hours of remote technical support. The contract is expected to span approximately three years, subject to annual budget approval. Award decisions are based on a weighted evaluation of technical and commercial criteria, with a heavier emphasis on management and technical ability than on price. To be considered responsible, proposers must meet minimum technical requirements for power input, I/O, communication, programmable logic, and hazardous classification. Additional incentives are provided for SEED qualified prime proposers or those utilizing SEED subcontractors. Contractors must adhere to strict cybersecurity standards by submitting a Professional Services Security Plan and comply with prevailing wage and equal employment opportunity requirements. All submissions must be made via the PlanetBids portal by the specified deadline.
