The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and the size standard is $34.0 million. The following is a brief description of services that are required to be performed: A. Introduction: The US Geological Survey (USGS), National Water Quality Laboratory (NWQL) has a requirement for replacement of wastewater SCADA computerized control system and software package using Inductive Automation or equivalent software Inductive Automation or equivalent software that replicates the functionality of the current SCADA control system with modern, reliable hardware and software while minimizing operational downtime. B. Background: The USGS, NWQL operates a laboratory wastewater and treated ion exchange system. The Safety, Health, and Environmental (SHE) team relies on a computer-based supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) control system to assess discharge performance and maintain environmental compliance. The current system, installed in the mid 2000s, is aging and at risk of failure, which could result in operational shutdown of the laboratory. C. Scope of Work The Contractor shall provide all labor, software, programming, configuration, installation, testing, and documentation required to replace the existing wastewater SCADA control system. D. Technical Requirements: The Contractor shall provide the following: a. Installation, configuration and programming of Ignition Perspective HMI software b. Convert the existing Genesis32 software monitoring screens to Ignition Perspective and integrate logic, alarms and parameter settings. c. Integration of the Ignition Perspective software with the existing Allen Bradley PLC proprietary logic programing owned by others such that integration of the new softw…
