Purchase of Networking Tools for the Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) Network Upgrade for the Water Resources Department as requested by the Information Technology Department (Citywide)
The network infrastructure that the SCADA remote/field systems relies on is past its lifecycle. Replacement is necessary at this time to meet minimal security functions required for today's modern SCADA network. This purchase will provide tools that will tune and manage the City's SCADA network for better performance and uptime.
The Information Technology Department and Purchasing recommend authorizing the purchase using the U.S. Communities cooperative contract with Graybar, at $44,392.39, based on estimated requirements.
