Steve Schmidt, Information Technology Manager
SUBJECT: TELEMETRY MAINTENANCE CONTRACT
RECOMMENDATION
Approve agreement with Remote Automation Solutions Inc, for a two-year telemetry system
maintenance services contract in the amount of$61,620.00, and authorize the mayor to execute
agreement.
DISCUSSION
Background
The Utilities Department utilizes a complex computerized control and monitoring system
referred to as "telemetry" to operate and monitor water and wastewater processes throughout the
treatment plants, water supply, water distribution and wastewater collection systems. Telemetry
is used to control the pumping for water distribution and supply, control of sewage pumps in the
wastewater collection system and numerous, complicated processes at the Water Treatment Plant
(WTP) and Water Reclamation Facility(WRF). The system was installed by City staff beginning
in the late 1980's utilizing Bristol Babcock equipment, and has grown into a mission critical,
department wide system that every section in the Utilities Department utilize and depend upon
for efficient and compliant operation of our complex systems.
Responsibility for the operations and maintenance of the telemetry system has fallen largely to
the individual sections, with support from the Information Technology (IT) division of the
Finance & IT Department. In August of 2007, Council approved a one-year maintenance
contract with Remote Automation Solutions Inc., which was extended to the following two year
period. This proposed two-year maintenance agreement provides on-going maintenance for all
Bristol Babcock equipment, updates to software, replacement and repair of Bristol equipment,
technical support and provides a discounted labor rate for any additional services not under the
scope of the contract. This agreement continues an on-going maintenance and support program
that will ensure the efficient and compliant operations of the City's facilities and processes.
Later this year, the Utilities Department will be presenting to Council a request for proposals to
begin the process of upgrading the City's aging telemetry systems. This will be a phased project,
which will begin next year. Phase one of the project will include upgrading the Water
Distribution and Whale Rock reservoir telemetry systems.
Remote Automations Solutions Inc. specializes in process control and telemetry equipment, and
has been the sole provider of the Utilities Department's telemetry equipment for many years. As
CM
Telemetry Maintenance Contract Page 2
such, Remote Automation is very familiar with the City's telemetry system and currently
provides emergency and scheduled installation and repair services. Few firms posses the
expertise, experience and excellent service offered by Remote Automation Solutions.
CONCURRENCES
Utilities department staff has reviewed this report and concurs with the recommendation.
FISCAL IMPACT
Total cost for this two-year maintenance agreement is $61,620.00. Funding is currently
programmed and available in the Information Technology contract services operating budget..
Operating costs associated with Utilities telemetry services are directly charged to the water,
sewer and Whale Rock funds through the 2009-11 cost allocation plan.
ALTERNATIVES
Issue an RFP for maintenance services. This is not recommended. Remote Automation
Solutions Inc., has the greatest knowledge of the City's telemetry system, is the sole provider of
City telemetry equipment and has provided telemetry maintenance and repair in the past. Staff
believes their proposal will provide telemetry system maintenance and repair in the most cost
effective, comprehensive and timely manner possible. As stated previously, Utilities will be
preparing an RFP to begin upgrading the City's telemetry systems later this year. The requested
services with this agreement are necessary to keep our current system operational.
