Agenda Item Brief:

Request for authorization to purchase SCADA equipment and instrumentation, from George T. Hall Company, in the amount of $68,650.  The SCADA equipment and instrumentation will provide remote control and monitoring of the Sparks Marina Pump Station and will integrate with the City’s existing SCADA interface.



Background:

The City utilizes supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) equipment, manufactured by George T. Hall Company, to remotely monitor sewer and storm drain pump station operations.  This equipment purchase request is for SCADA equipment and instrumentation to be installed in coordination with the Sparks Marina Pump Station project.  The SCADA equipment will provide remote control of the pumps and variable frequency drives (VFDs).  The SCADA instrumentation will allow for remote monitoring of the pump station status and operation.  The SCADA system will reduce the number of trips to the marina pump station, made by City personnel, by eliminating the need to physically start and stop the pumps and measure the marina water level on site.



Analysis:

This request is for authorization to purchase SCADA equipment and instrumentation, from George T. Hall Company, in the amount of $68,650.  Due to the need for standardized equipment, competitive bidding was not used to obtain the attached proposal, as allowed by NRS 332.115 (1d). 



Alternatives:
  1. City Council could approve the purchase request as outlined by Staff.
  2. City Council could reject the purchase request and provide direction to the City Manager.


Recommended Motion:

I move to approve the purchase request as presented by staff.
