Implementing Resolution <br /> ACQUISITION SYSTEM UPGRADES ? set Public Hearing For <br /> CONTINUED TO <br /> FILE NUMBER <br /> CITY MANAGER <br /> <br /> RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> <br /> Authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to execute the attached amendment to the <br /> agreement with Transdyn Controls, Inc. to provide additional support services and equipment for the <br /> Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA) for an additional not-to-exceed amount <br /> of $20,000, subject to nonsubstantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. <br /> <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> <br /> The City's water production facilities are controlled by a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition <br /> (SCADA) System. The system utilizes remote programmable controllers at each water production <br /> site and a central computer system located at the City Yard to remotely operate wells, pumps, and <br /> reservoirs. Uninterrupted reliability and functionality of this system is required to maintain operation <br /> of the water system. The existing system was installed by Transdyn Controls, Inc. in 1992 and was <br /> most recently upgraded in 2006. <br /> <br /> The current system provided by Transdyn has functioned since 1992 without failure. Due to recent <br /> upgrades and additions to the water production system such as the West Station Upgrades, the <br /> Water Resources Division has been experiencing communication problems with the SCADA system <br /> that have not been resolved. Transdyn provided an estimate to troubleshoot the errors in the <br /> system and to supply spare equipment radios for future hardware failures. <br /> <br /> The City has an existing $25,000 agreement (N-2009-90-2) with Transdyn Controls, Inc. to provide <br /> support services and equipment for unexpected problems occurring with the SCADA system, of <br /> which $20,000 has been exhausted. The additional work will exceed the existing agreement and <br /> therefore, staff is requesting an additional $20,000 for the extra support service and replacement <br /> equipment. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 25C-1 <br />
