Title
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Support Services Contract Renewal
History
The Utility Division of Public Works has used the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system since 1985. The system provides twenty-four (24) hour monitoring, and controls for the Village water and sanitary system. Last upgraded in 2019 with the addition of new desktop computers and a software upgrade, SCADA technology has evolved utilizing modern computers and software.
The Utility Division’s SCADA consultant and integrator, Concentric Integration of Crystal Lake, Illinois, has proposed a support services agreement in order to ensure the reliability and security of the SCADA system. The service agreement would consist of the items identified in Exhibit A.
Third-party support renewals are included as part of this support services agreement, renewals are as listed: Fortinet Foricare for 60D Rugged Firewall, Win-911 Maintenance Plan, and Cisco SmartNet Routers.
Concentric was previously selected in 2012 as the Village’s vendor for SCADA. Due to the complexity of the current SCADA system and the historical relationship Concentric has had with the Village, a proposal for equipment and software upgrades was requested from Concentric Integration of Crystal Lake, Illinois. It has an overall understanding of the project, with the ability to provide continued support. Its proposal (Exhibit B) details the cost of overall support services for the remainder of 2021 and 2022 at $2,354.00 per month, for a total of $35,310.00.
Financial Impact
Funds are available for this project in the FY2021 Water Fund 031-6001-443610, and upon approval of the 2022 budget, funds will be allocated in the FY2022 Water Fund 031-6001-443610.
