Explanation
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a service agreement for the Maintenance Manager Service for the Foxboro I/A System in accordance with Section 329.07 of the Columbus City Code. The Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant utilizes this control system to monitor and provide control functions to the critical digester control area of the treatment plant. The agreement covers the period of one year through August 31, 2009.
This is critical to the operations of the Jackson Pike facility, as all sludge brought into the plant is processed through the digester system and the Foxboro I/A System monitors that process. Invensys Process Systems, Inc. is the manufacturer of the system and software developer of the Foxboro I/A system utilized at the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant and is the only entity offering the necessary equipment, service and software for this type of equipment. Therefore, the Division desires to enter into a service agreement for maintenance and support with Invensys Process Systems, Inc., in accordance with the provisions of Columbus City Code Section 329.07 (Sole Source). This is for embedded systems. Quote dated October 1, 2008 is attached to this record.
