Change Order No. 2 to the Access Control Upgrade Project for Security Communication Work at Utility Sites
end
Executive Summary
A change to the means of communication is necessary to prepare the various Utility sites for the security system upgrades awarded to Pro-Tec Security at the April 6, 2020 City Council meeting.
Background
Staff has attempted to utilize the SCADA communication network for data and information related to the security systems. In testing the SCADA system, it was determined that the response time through that network could not be achieved to a level necessary for the security software to properly communicate. Staff have investigated options and determine that using a cellular router is the most feasible method of achieving this.
Pro-Tec was asked to provide the cost to install the necessary routers, installation, and programming to use with the security systems. The Water Utility well-house sites only require a small price adjustment after deleting previous items. The seventeen Sewer Utility lift station locations are significantly higher.
Strategic Plan Relationship
This action relates directly to the City of Blaine Strategic Plan Priority Item No. 6 - Well Maintained Infrastructure.
