Swift Creek Pump Station PLC Improvements

The Town of Cary is soliciting proposals under RFP 354-UT27-17 for a qualified control system integrator to design, furnish, program, install, test, and commission improvements to the supervisory and control system at the Swift Creek Pump Station located at 7802 Holly Springs Rd, Cary, NC. This project is required due to the pumping system's conversion from 575-volt to 480-volt power, necessitating the replacement of the existing control and monitoring system. The scope includes UL 508A control panel fabrication and ensuring compatibility with the Aveva System Platform SCADA system. All work must adhere to strict technical and safety standards, including NFPA 70, NFPA 820, NFPA 70E, IEEE 1584, and ISA/IEC 62443 for industrial automation cybersecurity. The contract features an initial one-year term starting from the award date in November 2026, with the Town of Cary holding the option to renew for up to two additional one-year terms. Proposals are due by November 5, 2026, via the North Carolina Electronic Vendor Portal, and will be evaluated using a one-step process based on completeness, experience, staff ability, and cost. Awardees must provide a minimum 12-month warranty on hardware and programming with specific critical-failure response times. Final acceptance is contingent upon a Site Acceptance Test verifying sequence-of-operation, pump alternation, fault handling, and hardwired float backups. Invoices must be submitted electronically to the Town of Cary Accounts Payable and include a unique invoice number and purchase order number.
