1 PROJECT BACKGROUND & PURPOSE

From inception of WAF in 2010 to date, the first investment that is injected in the field ofautomation was on 2015 and 2016. With the increasing demands of water around the countryand especially in western region where resorts and hotels are been constructed exponentially,technologies such as SCADA automation must be adapted to properly manage this system.Customer demand has also shifted whereby expectations to faster turnaround times, instantreplacements and quick solutions are needed. To create a quicker response time sometechnologically advanced system must be in place to help guide the staffs for faster reactiontime.

Currently there is no SCADA Monitoring control centre in the western region and supervisorsrelay on operators from western to supply data to Control Centre and sometimes the datasupplied by operators are inaccurate and misleading. To avoid this mishap, a new SCADAsystem in western region needs to be implemented to monitor systems and retrieve dataremotely from reservoir, pumping stations pressure and flow sites.

Exclude from further consideration any proposal that fails against an attribute (scores of 4or less).

The weighting to be applied to the technical attributes is as follows:


Attribute Attribute Weighting

Relevant Experience & Track Record 25

Technical /Personnel Skills 20

2 (Fail)

Poor / Non-compliant

Information provided does not meet the requirement, isnot workable and is deficient, high element of risk.

1 (Fail)

The remaining proposals will be evaluated to determine their total weighted scores, being thesum of the products of each proposal’s individual attribute score multiplied by the attributeweighting

Step 3 : Financial Evaluation (Price Information)

Proposals that pass the technical evaluation will have their financial proposal opened andpoints awarded in accordance with Clause 3.4 below and the following formula:

Sf = (Fm/F) x 100

Where Sf = points to be awarded

Fm = lowest financial proposal

F = amount proposed by individual firm
