Accept Bids & A ward Contract for SCADA Hardware - PW307D
BACKGROUND
On December 13,2004, Council approved an agreement with Quality Flow Systems and
U. S. Filter Control Systems, Inc. for Professional Services for the SCADA System -
Phase 2 project (PW307D). Council also authorized the advertisement for bids for
furnishing hardware related to the SCADA improvements.
Specifications were prepared for the SCADA hardware supply contract. The project was
publicly advertised in the local newspaper and in the Construction Bulletin magazine,
providing the required three-week bidding period.
Bids were opened at City Hall at 11:00AM on Thursday, February 17,2005. One bid
was received:
The bid amount compares favorably with the $159,000 estimate that was included in
staff's December 7, 2004 memorandum. Other potential bidders expressed interest in the
project during the bidding period, but chose not to file a bid.
The SCADA system professional services work is underway and can continue
uninterrupted if the single hardware bid is accepted. This will keep the project on
schedule, avoiding reliance on the existing dysfunctional SCADA system over the
summer 2005 peak water usage months. Although multiple bids for the hardware would
be preferred, the bid process did not exclude other bidders, and did result in the receipt of
a reasonable price.
RECOMMENDA TION
Award contract for furnishing hardware for SCADA Improvements to Quality Flow
Systems, Inc., New Prague, MN in the amount of $158,472.00.
