Agenda Item
Resolution - Wastewater Utility:
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Contract 15670, with Wunderlich-Malec, for the replacement and upgrade of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system associated with operations of the Southeast Water Reclamation Plant.
Item Summary
The Southeast Water Reclamation Plant (SEWRP) uses a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to remotely control equipment that is used to treat the wastewater according to the City’s Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Texas Pollution Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) discharge permit. Wunderlich-Malec (WM) provided the initial SCADA system and architecture components that are currently used at the SEWRP. WM maintains system engineering information and documentation specific to the SEWRP. Another SCADA engineering firm would not have access to this specific information. The equipment and programming for the entire SEWRP must work together to ensure proper treatment of the wastewater.
A sole source proposal was received from WM. Staff recommends that this contract be awarded to WM for a total of $234,895. The total amount of the award covers building and implementing upgrades to the existing Wonderware system, making this system compatible with the existing SCADA systems at the Northwest Water Reclamation Plant and the two City Water Treatment Plants. The current ICONICS system is over 15 years old, and these upgrades will improve the operation of the SCADA system while making all systems compatible across the City of Lubbock Treatment Plants.
Fiscal Impact
$234,895 is appropriated in Capital Improvement Project 92448, Water Reclamation Plant Replacements, for this project.
