PLC Programming and Consulting Services RFP Response ENTERPRISE <br />EA Project Number: EA25CSAl60, 0.0.0 AUTOMATION <br />A TETRA TECH COMPANY <br />2.5 Qualifications <br />Below is a detailed description of how Enterprise Automation meets and exceeds the City's <br />minimum requirements as well as additional qualifications we deem relevant to the City's RFP. <br />2.5.1 Minimum Qualifications <br />2.5.1.1 Code Compliance <br />The City requires that work is to be performed in compliance with all applicable codes, <br />ordinances, laws, standards, due care, and Occupational Safety and Health Administration <br />(OSHA) safety requirements. For each of our clients' projects, EA ensures a clear understanding <br />of the different standards and codes required for our scope of services and adheres to them. EA <br />has an internal team of senior engineers that regularly studies new editions of these standards, <br />informs our engineering team, and enforces compliance to these for all of our projects. <br />EA works diligently to ensure compliance with the latest editions of each code and standard the <br />City requires, including: <br />• Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) <br />• National Electrical Code (NEC) standards <br />• National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) <br />• American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) <br />• International Electrical Testing Association (NETA) <br />• State Department of Industrial Safety (CAL/OSHA) <br />2.5.1.2 Years of Experience <br />The City requires proposers to have 5 years of experience in providing SCADA network and PLC <br />programming services. EA has been in business performing SCADA and PLC programming <br />services for over 26 years. Additionally, we have had team members that have been working with <br />the City specifically for 10 years, both metrics far exceeding the requirement of 5 years the City <br />has requested. <br />2.5.1.3 State and Local Permits <br />The City requires that proposers possess state and local permits, licenses, and certificates <br />requires by law to commence, carry, and complete the work for this RFP. Given EA's experience in <br />this line of work, we believe the only permit, license, or certificate that may be required is to be <br />registered with the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). Enterprise Automation is not <br />registered with the California DIR because our technical staff are exempt employees with <br />engineering degrees or equivalent. We therefore have no staff that qualify under any prevailing <br />wage category. Accordingly, we have no wage information to report or lodge with the DIR and are <br />exempt from registration. <br />2.5.1.4 Equipment Provisions <br />The City requires proposers to provide all necessary equipment to competently perform and <br />complete work as specified. To support all of our clients, EA purchases consignment licenses so <br />that we have our own licenses for the software our clients use. Additionally, EA purchases PLC <br />and communications hardware to build a physical testing and development environment, <br />configured to replicate each of our clients' onsite controls systems. This way, in-house <br />development and testing prior to commissioning is a standard practice unique to EA. <br />
