DESCRIPTION

The city seeks a vendor to provide a turnkey solution for an Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS), including implementation and configuration of the platform within municipal environments. The scope includes transitioning SCADA functionality to the newly established ADMS, providing power to industry, business, and residential customers via a municipally owned distribution system. Vendors are required to convert ESRI electric geometric network data to the newer Utility Network (UN) structure.

The ADMS must mitigate reliance on siloed applications by integrating outage management, SCADA functions, intuitive graphical interfaces, distribution network applications, historical data storage and reporting, and external integrations for information sharing and visualization. It should also support hazard-type call management, distinct trouble call processing, and TCS functionality including conventional trouble calls and smart meter last gasps.

GIS integration with Esri UN-based platforms is required, enabling bulk or incremental data updates. The solution must also incorporate integration with customer information and billing systems to ensure operator access to current customer data.
