REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL

CONSULTANT SERVICES FOR

(SCADA) UPGRADES FOR

THE CITY OF REDDING, CALIFORNIA

(Schedule Number: 5691)

I. INTRODUCTION

The City of Redding Public Works Department-Wastewater Utility (City) is soliciting proposals to

provide consultant services for upgrading the existing Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition

(SCADA) system. The City’s system includes 21 sites, comprised of lift stations, a flow monitoring

station, and two solid waste gas extraction systems.

To alleviate systemwide SCADA and hardware deficiencies and to add necessary remote

monitoring and alarm notification capabilities, the City is seeking proposals from highly qualified

firms to provide professional services related to software procurement, development, testing,

documentation, integration, remote access, and alarm notifications associated with a turnkey

SCADA system.

This project is funded by the Wastewater Utility, with the total project cost estimated to be $300,000

including equipment purchasing, installation and programming.

The consultant services contract is expected to be awarded in July 2026 and is anticipated to be

no longer than twelve (12) months. Any consultant responding to this RFP must be willing to

commit the necessary resources to the project to conform to the proposed schedule. Interested

Consultants are invited to submit qualifications in accordance with the requirements of this Request

for Proposals (RFP).

A mandatory site walk will be performed. The mandatory site walk will start at the Sunnyhill Lift

Station, located at 5100 Bechelli Lane at 9:00 am on Tuesday, April 28, 2026. After completing

the site walk at Sunnyhill, City staff and attendees will proceed to visit a minimum of one other lift

station. City staff will be available to answer technical questions that arise during the site visit.

If a proposing consultant fails to have a representative attend the mandatory site walk meeting, then

the City will deem their proposal as non-responsive. Requests for alternate days and times for lift

station visits with City staff will not be accommodated.

III. SCOPE OF SERVICES

The scope of services to be provided by the Consultant shall consist of the following Tasks:

Task 1: Project Management Review and Scheduling

Consultant will begin the project with a kickoff meeting involving all project team members:

Consultant and City staff, and other identified stakeholders. The meeting will include a review of the

scope of work, schedule, design standards, and expected deliverables for the project. The meeting

will address project coordination and responsibilities and define key project issues and goals.

Consultant also will present a comprehensive plan identifying the development schedule that

classifies the various components and milestones.

Consultant will detail project objectives, team member responsibilities, milestones, budgets,

schedules, quality assurance procedures, and progress evaluation techniques. Consultant will

monitor project progress throughout the project to ensure project objectives and milestones are

met.

Before each regularly scheduled coordination and status meeting, Consultant will work with the

City's project manager to develop and distribute a meeting agenda and arrange for appropriate

participants to attend. At each meeting, Consultant will review project schedule and budget status,

obtain City input, facilitate decision making and discuss issues that have the potential of adversely

affecting project budget, schedule, or product. Meeting notes will be distributed following each

meeting.

Consultant will submit monthly progress reports to the City along with monthly invoices and

appropriate backup. The reports will address the work progress; project schedule; information and

decisions needed to maintain schedule and complete deliverables; problems encountered that

might affect schedule, budget, or work products; and anticipated work for the following month.

The Consultant’s Project Manager shall play an active role in the management and coordination of

the project to include monthly meetings with City staff to discuss project status, problems,

budgeting, and other areas that have an adverse effect on the work. In addition, several meetings,

telephone conferences or other communication means may be needed for consultation regarding

project issues or decisions between scheduled progress meetings.

Task 2: Procurement of SCADA Package, Remote Access/Notification System, and

Hardware

The Consultant will need to work closely with City utility and operations staff to identify monitoring

and notification needs, current conditions and capacities, and provide a final recommendation for

the required Ignition SCADA software, remote access, and SMS and Voice/Phone notification

packages for the City. The City would like to replace dated equipment including I/O cards and PLC

expansion racks with Allen Bradley/Rockwell. Staff would like all I/O to be uniform in both type and

rack placement, as well as I/O assignment for uniformity across the wastewater collections/solid

waste systems. Please note that the verification of type, quality, and quantity of suggested

replacement of new hardware components needed for this task, including the integration, warranty

for hardware and software, training and services after completion of the task, are the responsibility

of the Consultant. City of Redding ETs will install the hardware.

with Onlogic TC410R Edge devices, etc.). In addition, they shall provide a memorandum

summarizing the City’s needs and plan for implementation – including but not limited to any

memo shall also include a strategy to redevelop main and sub-layered SCADA screens to depict

actual equipment in operation at facilities (pumps, generators, drives, ATS’s, valves, etc.) as

appropriate.
