AGENDA ITEM: Radio Survey for Lift Stations
SUBMITTED BY: Donna Kaluzniak, Utility Directo~/
DATE: February 17, 2004
~'"' BACKGROUND: The central SCADA system has been installed at treatment plants. Funds
have been budgeted to add the City's 29 lift stations to the SCADA system in a phased-in
manner. The SCADA system would allow for remote monitoring of lift station operation and
alarms, allowing for improved record keeping and quicker response to lift station malfunctions.
~ The existing SCADA system included the installation of 2.4 GHZ wireless radios, which are also
used as part of the City's wireless network system. Additiona12.4 GHZ radios could be used as
part of a future wireless canopy around the City. However, the 2.4 GHZ radios require the
,,, antennas to be mounted to maintain a "line of sight" with the central antenna at Water Plant # 1
or with another antenna. This can result in the need for a very tall antenna, which may not be
aesthetically pleasing in some of the neighborhoods. Shorter, Less intrusive antennas can be
used with 900 NIHZ iadios, however these will not be usable for the wireless network.
In order to develop a request for proposal for contractors to bid on the system, a radio site survey
~" must be completed to determine which of the 291ift stations will be able to use the 2.4 GHZ
radios without intrusive antennas and which will need to use 900 Z radios.
Staff requested a proposal from TouchPoint, as they are the firm that performed the radio site
survey for the treatment plants system, and are also the firm that installed the antennas for the
wireless system. TouchPoints price for performing this work is $13,629.84.
BUDGET: A total of $60,000 was budgeted for the first phase of the Lift Station SCADA
project in the Sewer Fund under account no. 410-5506-535-6300.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize TouchPoint to complete the radio site survey for Lift
Stations.
