VILLAGE CREEK WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
1 Authorize the transfer of $340,814 from the Water and Sewer Operating Fund to the Sewer Capital
Project Fund, and
2 Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Sewer Capital Project Fund in the amount of $340,814 from available funds, and
3 Authorize a sole source purchase agreement with GE Automation Services, Inc. for an upgrade of
the existing XUSystem computerized control system at the Village Creek Wastewater Treatment
Plant, including the purchase and installation of software and hardware, the provision of training,
maintenance, and support for the installation and parts for one year, for an amount not to exceed
$340, 814
D{SCUSSION
The existing XL/System at the Village Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, installed in 1991, is used for
monitoring and tracking wastewater throughout the treatment process The XL/System and the
associated data provides operators with the information needed to make centralized process
modifications within the plant's control room The XL/System allows the Village Creek Wastewater
Treatment Plant to operate more efficiently and effectively to comply with federal and state reporting
regulations
The control system software (UNIX Operating System) will no longer be supported Additionally,
hardware components associated with the control system software limit hardware replacement and
availability Therefore, the entire XL/System must be upgraded
The Water Department obtained an estimate to replace the XL/System and the cost for the replacement
was estimated at $4 3 million GE Automation Services, Inc. is the documented sole source provider of
the XUSystem
M/WBE - A waiver of the goal for M/WBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the
Purchasing Division and approved by the M/WBE Office because the purchase of goods and services is
from a sole source where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible
