Re: Bid for Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) Software and Integration Services

Executive Summary

Bid proposals for the following:

SCADA Software and Integration Services.

Discussion

This proposal is for the purchase of SCADA Software and Integration Services for City of West Plains Electric, Water,

and Sewer systems. During this year Council approved budget for a SCADA system in Public Works. This SCADA

system will replace the two current systems that are in operation.

Currently the Water SCADA is running on Windows 7 and has been unable to receive updates for the past two years. If

this system does fail, we will lose years’ worth of data and control of the water treatment plant, water towers, and booster

stations within the system.

The Electric Department, approximately four years ago, migrated to Wonderware SCADA. However, for two years now

the system has not operated correctly, and we have had difficulties in customer service with the implementor and the

software company.

Sewer currently has an antiquated phone system and an audible alarm system but no SCADA system in operation. We are

completely reliant on a phone message that sometimes works and or neighbors of the lift stations from the audible alarms.

Since staff is seeing significant upgrades to the three systems in the coming years the recommendation to proceed with a

new SCADA that could monitor all three systems and not to have separate vendors running each utility SCADA was

made. During this research an RFQ and RFP processes were used in conjunction with Toth and Associates. Attached is

their recommendation and the proposal.

Fiscal Impact

The total SCADA project was budgeted at $425,000 and is split between all three utilities in the Capital Outlay Budget.

The software and integration services are proposed at this time at a total of $155,750.00. $28,800 of this cost is a support

package for the next four years bringing the cost to $126,950 for the total first year proposal plus integration. This section

of the project was budgeted to be $144,000.

Re: City of West Plains, M issouri Public Works Department: SCADA Software and Integration Services, PO Recommendation

Dear Jeff,

Proposals were received and opened at the Engineer's office on Thursday, September 9, 2021, for the equipment referenced above. The results of the bid opening are summarized on the enclosed Bid Summary.

Proposals were evaluated based on the follow ing criteria: price, customer reference testimony, simplicity of implementation, and number of users within the local region. Proposal cost was evaluated for initial implementation (1-year cost) and projected mid-term maintenance (S-year cost ).

Based on these criteria, we recommend that the City of West Plains purchase the SCADA Software, Integration Services, and Five (5) years of Gold Level Software Support from Open Systems International, Inc. {OSI), with a 5-year cost of $155,750.00. A copy of that proposal is also enclosed for your reference.

The estimated cost budgeted for th is portion of the overal l SCADA project scope was approximately $144,000.00. This budget was developed based on t he first-year installation cost of the SCADA platform. The recommended purchase price exceeds t his budget amount because it includes an additional four (4) years of the Gold Support Package, totaling $28,800.

If the City of West Plains elect s to accept the OSI proposal, please provide us w ith a copy of the purchase order for our records.

Please contact me if you have any comments or questions.
