Ignition SCADA Integration RFP

The Jordan Basin Improvement District (the “District”) provides wastewater infrastructure and services for portions of Salt Lake County and Utah County, Utah. The District’s collection system is comprised of approximately 1,100 miles of sanitary sewer lines. The District owns and operates a 15 MGD membrane bioreactor wastewater treatment plant known as the Jordan Basin Water Reclamation Facility (JBWRF). The JBWRF is located at 13826 South Jordan Basin Lane, Riverton, Utah.

Jordan Basin Improvement District (JBID) is requesting proposals from qualified integrators to transition from the existing GE iFIX SCADA software to Inductive Automation’s Ignition SCADA software for operation of JBWRF and District-owned lift stations. JBWRF Operates 24/7, manned 10-12 hours per day with on-call personnel responding to alarms overnight.

The District seeks proposals from Ignition-certified integrators to assist in the transition from existing GE iFIX SCADA software to Ignition SCADA software. The successful integrator must meet the minimum qualifications contained in these procurement documents and be able to provide the required services outlined in the scope of work.

Work will include integration of current iFIX database, building screens and navigation in Ignition, configuring alarms and callout systems, building Ignition database, and providing training and support to District staff.

Inductive Automation’s Ignition and Kepware Drivers are already installed on the primary SCADA server. This is a virtual machine. Cost of software should not be included in the proposal, only the integration services.
