Request for Proposal
SCADA Migration - RTU Mapping and Integration Services
February 9, 2026
Proposal
The City of St. Cloud, Minnesota Public Utilities Department is soliciting proposals from qualified
consultants to provide professional services to develop, document, validate, and implement a
Remote Telemetry Unit (RTU) Mapping Program to support the migration of existing field RTUs from
legacy Master Telemetry Units (MTUs) and Workstation/Human Machine Interface (HMI) systems
(“Old SCADA”) to the City’s new SCADA architecture, including upgraded HMIs and MTUs. The
intent of this project is to ensure continuity of operations, functional equivalency, and data
integrity throughout the migration process.
Background Information
The City of St. Cloud’s SCADA Systems communicates with the wastewater (sanitary/storm)
collections and water distribution remote sites. The entire network includes 8 water distribution
sites (Tanks, Flow Monitoring and Water Quality Sampling), 1 stormwater site, and 38 wastewater
sites (Lift Stations, Flumes/Flow Meters, Chemical Pre-Treatment), including wastewater collection
for the cities of St. Augusta, Sauk Rapids, Waite Park, Sartell, St. Joseph, and Foley.
Project Description
The RTU Mapping Program shall identify, document and map all existing RTU Input/Output (I/O)
points, communication parameters, protocols, addressing, scaling, alarm setpoints and
metadata necessary to achieve functional equivalency between the legacy and new SCADA
environments. For the purposes of this RFP, functional equivalency is defined as the ability of the
new SCADA system to provide the same monitoring, control, alarm, and reporting functionality
currently available in the legacy system. The program shall support systematic migration of RTU
point databases, tag structures, alarms, and historical data references while minimizing
operational disruption to Public Utilities facilities.
Existing Remote Telemetry Unit (RTU) Details
1. Fourteen (14) wastewater lift stations (Lift Stations No. 3, 4, 8, 12, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 25, 29,

2. One (1) stormwater lift station (Lake George Overflow Structure)
