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.
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 $27,060.
DISCUSSION: The upgrade of the Sleepy Hollow Steelhead
Rearing Facility (SHSRF) 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: $27,060
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.
