Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a contract with Trac-N-Trol, Inc. for the Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) lnstallation & Enhancement 2013 Project.
Body
The City currently utilizes a number of Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) that are located at every pump station, storage tank, and lift station site in the Utility system. These RTUs allow the City to monitor tank levels, pump run times, etc.
This project will replace an existing obsolete Front End Processor, thirty-four RTUs, and upgrade the City's software development/run time environments to increase data capabilities throughout the City by upgrading the radio system from 1200 baud to Ethernet. Upgrading the Water Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system will ensure a safer and more up to date communication system in managing our Water Distribution system and Wastewater Collection system.
There were two bidders that submitted bids for this project. TraC-N-Trol, Inc. submitted the low bid in the amount of $192,217 for the replacement/upgrade equipment. City staff will conduct the installation of this equipment at each of the sites.
Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval.
