Explanation

This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a service agreement for the upgrade of 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. A complete summary of the system and cost is attached. This ordinance includes a 20% contingency. The estimated cost of the upgrade is $165,672.35 and the funding including the 20% is $198,806.82. The upgrades include mostly new hardware however there is software included in the upgrades.

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 Systems, Inc. is the manufacturer of the system and software in use and is the only entity offering the necessary equipment, service and software for this type of equipment. The system is nearing technology obsolesce and needs various upgrades. Therefore, the Division desires to enter into a service agreement for the upgrade with Invensys Systems, Inc., 6745 Engel Road Parkview Building Suite 105, Middleburg Heights, OH 44130, the sole source and equipment manufacturer.

SUPPLIER: Invensys Systems, Inc. (04-1339430) Expires 9-27-09

FISCAL IMPACT: The amount needed for this agreement is $198,806.82


Emergency legislation is being requested so that the upgrades of this vital system can begin at the earliest time possible.
