SCOPE OF WORK
The Nashua Wastewater Treatment Facility (NWTF) has a SCADA system that has been added upon over the
years. Many of the panels are over 20 years old and are in need of upgrades. This project will consist of
upgrades to improve the overall SCADA system. Improvement will be made to operational efficiency, data
acquisition, reporting functionality and supportability of technology. Outdated control panels and/or
components will be replaced with control panels and/or components equipped with stat-of-the-art PLCs
networked to SCADA computers. Five new SCADA computers will be installed mainly at locations where
existing panel mounted computers have failed.
A MANDATORY Pre-Bid conference to discuss the project is scheduled to begin promptly on Tuesday,
September 12, 2017 at 11:00 AM at the Wastewater Treatment Facility, 2 Sawmill Road, Nashua NH
03060 in the Administration/Control Building Conference Room, immediately followed by a walkthrough of
the proposed project. You or your representative(s) are required to attend this meeting if you intend to submit a
bid. The meeting is an opportunity for the City to provide an overview of the project and its objectives, and for
participants to request additional information directly from City staff managing or participating in the project.
