Title
WIN-911 SCADA Alarming Upgrade - Proposal
History
The Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System performs various functions related to the control and monitoring of our potable water and sewer collection systems. Currently, when there is a problem at a facility, alarm notification is sent from SCADA through various network appliances to our Police Department. Often, these alarm events may not get the immediate attention required due to equipment failures or other emergency priorities. To improve our response time and provide redundancy with our SCADA system alarms, the Village contacted B & W Control Systems Integration, LLC of Crystal Lake, Illinois, our SCADA Integrator, to provide a solution. They have recommended the WIN-911 software, a product used by other communities to help manage their SCADA alarms. WIN-911 will allow Supervisors and Utility staff to receive alarms using their smart phones and tablets. It will also allow for the redundancy that is desired in the event there was a failure within the SCADA communications system. The cost to install, setup and configure the WIN-911 software on the SCADA server is $9,900.
On February 3, 2014, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
Sufficient funds are available within Line Item #031-6002-470600 (Well & Storage Facilities) to cover the cost of this work.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve accepting the proposal from B & W Control Systems Integration, LLC of Crystal Lake, Illinois, for the installation of the WIN-911 software in an amount not to exceed $9,900.
