BACKGROUND:
The Eastside Wastewater Treatment Plant utilizes multiple industrial electrical motor control centers to control various motors throughout the plant. Multiple locations in the Eastside Wastewater Plant utilize gear originally installed in 1989 that has become obsolete. Since the successful operation of the plant depends on reliable motor control centers, and due to the excessive lead time of new gear, plant staff concluded that proactively replacing the gear that has reach the end of its useful life would be more cost effective than allowing the gear to fail and then have to make an emergency purchase and paying a premium for expediting, in addition to other emergency costs.
Also included in this contract is the Alternate Water Supply SCADA replacement project. The City's current water system SCADA was installed in 2007 and has reached the end of its useful life. This upgrade will replace the existing system and allow the new water system to be integrated with the remaining system.
City Staff bundled the MCC project along with the Alternate Water Supply SCADA replacement project to allow for more competitive bids.
The Eastside WWTP MCC Replacement and Alternate Water Supply Project JOL0801-SCADA contract was advertised in the Labor Record on Thursday, January 25, 2024. The Public Service Committee will review this matter.
