SUMMARY: This item is to authorize an increase of
$8,060 for the 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 at the Sleepy Hollow Steelhead Rearing Facility
(Facility) in Carmel Valley.
RECOMMENDATION: The Administrative Committee recommends that
the Board authorize the General Manager to amend an agreement with Telemetrix,
Inc. for consultant services in an amount not-to-exceed $8,060. If this item is approved, the not-to-exceed amount
would be $26,000.
DISCUSSION: At their July 19, 2021
meeting, the Board authorized entering into an agreement with Telemetrix (TMX)
to provide technical support for a one-year period for the Programmable Logic
Controller (PLC) that monitors and controls most functions of the Facility. At the time TMX made a proposal for services,
the District requirement for consultant liability
insurance for this Facility was set at a minimum of $2 million. Subsequently, based on District Counsel
recommendation, the District determined that due to
the value of improvements at the Facility, the proposed work would require a $5
million policy. The annual cost to the
consultant for obtaining the policy was just over $9,000, which significantly
reduced the budget for providing technical support and web services.
IMPACTS ON STAFF AND RESOURCES: The mid-year budget adjustment adopted on
February 24, 2022 includes $26,000 in funds for this
work 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 Facility
operations.
