59--Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA), Clarence Cannon Dam and Power Plant, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Vicksburg District

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Vicksburg District Contracting Office intends to award on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 13.500 to HSQ Technology of Hayward, CA. This procurement is using Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR part 13.500 - Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. This requirement is to supply and install MISER SCADA System, Remote Terminal Units (RTU) and all associated hardware/software at Clarence Cannon Dam and Power Plant, located at 20642 Hwy J, Monroe City, MO 63456-9359. It has been determined that the current Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system controlling Blakely Mountain Dam will be used to control operations at the Clarence Cannon Dam. This will require equipment installed at Clarence Cannon to be 100% compatible to the existing MISER SCADA Control System currently in place at Blakely Mountain Dam. As a result of the compatibility requirement the Contracting Officer has determined that only one source is reasonably available. A RFP/RFQ WILL NOT be issued based on this notice. This project consists of the installation of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system at Clarence Cannon Dam and Power Plant located at 20642 Highway J, Monroe City, MO 63456-9359. The SCADA system shall acquire data from and control hydroelectric equipment at the powerhouse, switchyard, and re-regulating dam. It will be connected by T1 as primary communication and a separate satellite (provided by the Corps of Engineers) as backup communication to Blakely Mountain Dam for primary operation. HSQ Technology will procure, install, and test the SCADA system with appropriate training for personnel according to the requirements of the contract.
