SUMMARY: This item is to authorize an agreement with Telemetrix (TMX) to provide up to 100 hours of consultant
service to assist staff with plant operations and troubleshooting, maintain
instruments, provide plant electrical equipment service, provide staff
training, maintain a web service to provide remote access to on site controls, provide telecommunications, provide
24-hour alarm monitoring, and to provide archival operational monitoring data.
It also includes costs associated with parts that need periodic replacement
such as sensors.
RECOMMENDATION: The Finance and Administration
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 $35,408.
DISCUSSION: The upgrade of
the Sleepy Hollow Steelhead Rearing Facility completed in 2021 includes a
sophisticated Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), water and air measurement
instrumentation and other equipment that monitors and controls most functions
of the plant, facilitates 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 instrumentation, provides staff training, and provides electrical
equipment maintenance, maintains a website for staff access, and provides 24-hour
operator staffed dedicated alarm call out service. The proposed agreement would cover support of the facility by TMX for a one-year period.
IMPACTS ON STAFF AND RESOURCES: $35,408 in funds for this work are
budgeted under Sleepy Hollow Operations Budget Program line item 2-3-1-N Operations
Consultant with Web Support. The work would be performed under the
direction of District staff involved with Sleepy Hollow operations.
