P-103 Pump MPP & Eddy Current Controller

This contract involves the procurement and installation of a pump house control system and an existing eddy current controller at the University at Buffalo's North Campus, located in Erie County, New York. The scope includes a NEMA 4/12 CS enclosure housing a programmable logic controller (PLC) and remote terminal unit (RTU) with Ethernet communication adapters supporting protocols such as Modbus/TCP, Ethernet/IP, ProfiNET, EtherCAT, MQTT, OPC, SNMP, and SNTP. The system features multiple communication interfaces, including RS-232/485 adapters, digital and analog inputs, RTD inputs, and a dual Ethernet switch with redundant power inputs. Additionally, the system incorporates motor thermal protection relays and various miscellaneous components like circuit breakers, terminal blocks, receptacles, and industrial power supplies, all designed for robust industrial operation. The existing eddy current drive control system, mounted on a specially dimensioned backplate, will be integrated with the new control system, utilizing a 120VAC input and a 100VDC output capable of 24 amps. It is operated via a keypad display, with the existing 480VAC transformer supporting the setup. The project is scheduled for completion by March 21, 2025, with a contract duration of less than one year. The procurement is managed by the State University of New York (SUNY), with a service call planned for Buffalo, NY. The contract does not specify set-aside categories for minority, women, or service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, and there are no prior similar contracts awarded to the entities involved within the past five years. The project budget ranges from $50,000 to $150,000, and the primary point of contact is Shannon Beaton, reachable via email or phone.
