THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The packet includes an April 21, 2026 quote from VIPower Services for a full SCADA system and PLC upgrades across Malden’s electric power system totaling about $435,000. This shows the utility is actively scoping a major controls and automation modernization but there is no approval, contract, or vendor selection recorded yet.
Vendors in utility SCADA, PLC hardware, integration, networking, and cybersecurity should see this as early-stage planning. The next step is to confirm with the City Administrator/Utility Director and BPW where they are in funding and procurement and whether competitive proposals will be sought.
Quote covers SCADA server, UPS, multiple Allen-Bradley PLC replacements, HMIs, and substation PLC upgrades at power plant, school substation, and airport substation.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will City of Malden issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Malden's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
