SUMMARY: This item is to authorize an agreement with
Telemetrix (TMX) to provide up to 100 hours of consultant service to assist
staff with operations and troubleshooting, maintain a web service to provide
remote access to on site controls, provide telecommunications, provide 24-hour
alarm monitoring, and to provide operational monitoring data.
RECOMMENDATION: The Administrative Committee recommends that
the Board authorize the General Manager to enter into an agreement with
Telemetrix, Inc. for consultant services in an amount not-to-exceed $17,940.
DISCUSSION: The upgrade of the Sleepy Hollow Steelhead
Rearing Facility completed in 2021 includes a sophisticated Programmable Logic
Controller (PLC) that monitors and controls most functions of the plant, is
connected to the internet for remote monitoring and operations, and sends alarm
calls out when the plant is not operating correctly. TMX wrote the software and installed the PLC,
maintains a website for staff access, and contracts with a 24-hour dedicated
alarm service. The proposed agreement
would cover support of the facility by TMX for a one-year period.
IMPACTS ON STAFF AND RESOURCES: $16,000 in funds for this work are budgeted
under Sleepy Hollow Operations Budget Program line item 2-3-1-N Operations
Consultant with Web Support. Staff
proposes to adjust this item up by $1,940 to $17,940 at the mid-year budget
adjustment. The work would be performed
under the direction of District staff involved with Sleepy Hollow operations.
