SCADA System Modernization and Oversight Services

The government authority in Illinois requires SCADA system modernization and oversight services. The buyer needs a vendor to evaluate the primary SCADA integrator's architecture design, network topographies, and instrument specifications, while optimizing alarm rationalization, prioritization, and reporting-by-exception strategies. The selected vendor must provide regular on-site monitoring of control panel construction, electrical field installations, and communication network deployments. Responsibilities also include maintaining decision logs, reviewing submittals, tracking change orders, evaluating contractor payout requests, and overseeing critical hot cutovers to maintain continuous utility or plant operations without downtime. Eligibility requires onshore vendors located exclusively in the USA, and performance of the work must occur onsite. Bidders can submit responses digitally via email or online, and the buyer requests proposal pricing to establish the budget. The provided text omits specific key dates and evaluation criteria.
