The City of Westerville is accepting proposals for all hardware, software, services, and appurtenances necessary to replace the City of Westerville Electric Division’s existing Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems with a single, comprehensive, modern, integrated, secure, and redundant Advanced Distribution Management System as a smart upgrade to the City’s SCADA System needs for the management of all current and future connected devices. This new system must replicate and enhance necessary existing functionality, including specific screens and reports, provide intuitive controls, offer comprehensive and actionable alarming capabilities with external notifications, improve data archiving and retention, incorporate advanced features like calculated points, peak tracking, and load forecasting, and meet stringent cybersecurity and disaster recovery requirements. Additionally, it is important that the SCADA System include and integrate with an Outage Management System (OMS) and a Distribution Automation (DA) system, since Westerville would like to implement Fault Location, Isolation, and Service Restoration (FLISR). This replacement is essential to ensure the continued reliable, secure, and efficient operation and expansion of Westerville’s electric distribution infrastructure.
