Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize the Purchasing Agent to solicit Request for Qualifications (RFQ) regarding systematic completion of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system upgrade project for the water system facilities in accordance with the Texas Government Code; Chapter 2254 (Professional and Consulting Services). This action will have no impact on the County’s General Fund Budget. [Funding Source: 2016 Bond Series Funds]

Issue: The current condition of the existing water SCADA facilities and the potential for failure creates an urgent public necessity to implement an expeditious process for upgrading water facilities to ensure continued TCEQ compliance, public health protection, and operational integrity.

Solution: Due to the project consisting of high-technology procurement, the staff has determined that the best course of response is to solicit qualifications of firms that can swiftly and adequately address an upgrade of facilities under this RFQ.

Result: Approve authorization to Purchasing Agent to solicit RFQ.

Background:

The project includes replacing and/or integrating existing SCADA equipment with new SCADA equipment; and migrating the operations monitoring, control, data files, data collection, and alarm functions from the existing SCADA to a new SCADA system.
