Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) and Telemetry System Installation

The contract involves the installation of a remote terminal unit (RTU) and associated telemetry equipment for real-time streamflow monitoring in California, specifically under the jurisdiction of the Central Valley Flood Protection Board. The system will include a steel housing unit to protect the data logger, a bubbler unit for accurate water level measurements, a battery power supply, a solar panel for sustainable energy, and satellite telemetry for continuous data transmission without reliance on terrestrial networks. This turnkey installation is designed to provide reliable, automated hydrological data critical for flood protection and water resource management across the region. The work is classified under NAICS code 541330, indicating it falls within the category of architectural, engineering, and related services, and is structured as a subcontract with no specified set-aside type. The project is posted for bid as of July 14, 2026, and the performance location remains unqualified in the data, but the agency involvement confirms the work will occur within California’s Central Valley. The system's design emphasizes durability, weather resistance, and autonomous operation, ensuring uninterrupted monitoring in remote or harsh environments where traditional data collection methods are impractical. Real-time streamflow data from this installation will directly support flood forecasting, emergency response planning, and long-term hydrological analysis for the state.
