Real-time Coagulant Optimization System Development and Implementation Solution

The City of Ottawa is seeking a qualified Canadian organization to develop and implement a real-time chemical coagulant optimization system at the city water treatment plant. The project addresses the need for precise, automated chemical dosing by integrating predictive modeling, hardware deployment, and comprehensive operator training. The selected vendor will perform all work offsite to deliver the fully functional optimization system. The scope of work requires the system to process specific water quality parameters to optimize coagulant dosing. The system must utilize online hourly data for flow, temperature, turbidity, and pH, alongside weekday samples for temperature, turbidity, pH, and both filtered and unfiltered ultraviolet transmissivity. The agency will evaluate proposals based on the bidder's ability to successfully integrate these data streams into a reliable real-time model. Eligibility is strictly limited to onshore Canadian organizations. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to define the financial scope. The solicitation does not specify key dates, meaning bidders must monitor the procurement portal for submission deadlines.
