I 8.0 <br /> ('ITYo PRES('OTT <br /> COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO <br /> MEETING DATE/TYPE: VOTING MEETING 11-28-17 <br /> DEPARTMENT: Public Works <br /> AGENDA ITEM: Award of City Contract No. 2018-103 to Ripple Industries, LLC, and <br /> City Contract No. 2018-104 to Rottweiler Controls, LLC, for "On-Call" contracts for <br /> Supervisory, Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Professional Services, each in an <br /> amount not to exceed $15,000.00 annually. Funding is available in the Water and <br /> Wastewater Funds. <br /> FUNDING SOURCE: Wastewater Fund <br /> Approved By: Michael Lamar, City Manager <br /> Item Summary <br /> This item is for the award of two, "On-Call" contracts for Supervisory, Control and Data <br /> Acquisition (SCADA) Professional Services, each in an amount not to exceed <br /> $15,000.00, annually. <br /> Background <br /> The City's water and wastewater systems include local site control and SCADA <br /> currently at the two wastewater treatment facilities, seven wells, seven booster sites and <br /> ten storage tanks. SCADA is essential at these sites for monitoring and alerting <br /> operations staff of alarm conditions requiring a response. SCADA is also used for <br /> starting/stopping equipment, tracking usage, altering process control, and monitoring <br /> tank levels while trending and collecting historical data that is utilized to improve <br /> processes. This information is imported into the City's maintenance management <br /> system to track and generate repair and preventative maintenance work orders. <br /> These contracts will be utilized for emergency response to restore SCADA systems in <br /> the event of a failure. The contracts will also be utilized for programming existing local <br /> site control devices, constructing new control panels and troubleshooting existing <br /> equipment. <br /> These specialized maintenance and repair skills are beyond the experience of our <br /> current operations staff, necessitating the need for a qualified professional to perform <br /> the work. Utilizing two on-call contracts will allow for flexibility and ensure quicker <br /> response times to emergencies. It is important to note that work is not guaranteed to <br /> either firm. <br /> I Packet Pg. 37 I <br />
