EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The District received $300,000 of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds through a February 8, 2022 Memorandum of Understanding with Napa County for the replacement of the District's water and wastewater facility Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) monitoring program. While functional, the existing older generation software does not provide advanced level of automation, remote control, alarm alerts, sufficient network speed, trend charts, and dependability needed by the District in a more stringent regulatory environment.
A Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation for the services required to upgrade the SCADA system was publicly advertised on February 24, 2023. Two (2) programming and instrumentation consultants submitted proposals by the March 23, 2023 deadline. Telstar Instruments ranked highest amongst the proposals submitted. Staff recommends approval of a Professional Services Agreement effective May 16, 2023 and expiring one year following completing the scope of services.
