BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this item is to approve a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with RLC Controls, Inc. for SCADA upgrades.

In the past couple of years, planning has been underway for the upgrade of the Town's SCADA system. This system is the backbone of the Town's water and sanitary sewer system. The system, installed in the 1990s, currently relies on outdated communication methods and components are challenging to procure or no longer supported. This project aims to improve the monitoring system by enhancing communication, reliability, and controls for the Town's critical infrastructure.

RLC Controls was chosen for its industry expertise, excellent reputation, and proven track record in providing exceptional customer service to other municipalities.

This project was approved as a part of the FY24 budget process as a decision package with a budget of $350,000. The funding for these services will come out of the FY24 utility budget.

RECOMMENDATION:

Administration recommends approval.
