Recommended Action
I move that the Board of Public Utilities recommend Services Agreement No. AGR 25-16a with IC Solutions, LLC, for the Purpose of Furnishing PLCs for the Water Production SCADA Replacement Project in the amount of $950,000 plus applicable gross receipts tax, and forward to Council for approval.
Utilities Manager's Recommendation
The Utilities Manager recommends that the Board approve the motion as presented.
Body
The DPU has initiated the project to replace the water production SCADA system that has been in place for 30 years. The project will replace the existing proprietary radio transmitter units at the water wells, tanks and booster stations with new programmable logic controllers (PLCs). The services in this agreement are to fabricate, test and install 26 PLCs in the first two years as part of the system replacement. The agreement is for seven years with the majority of support provided in the first two years as the system is replaced. The remaining 5 years are for support on an as needed basis.
Alternatives
If the agreement is not approved, then the project will be delayed until the services can be secured.
Fiscal and Staff Impact
The first two years of the project will be funded by Drinking Water State Revolving Loan 6368 in the amount not to exceed $700,000.00. The balance of the services in years 3 through 7 will be funded by operating funds allocated in the respective annual budget.
