The system consists <br /> of a large number of interconnected mechanical, electrical and digital hardware and software <br /> components. <br />� City staff are able to correct minor issues and perform minor repairs to the system, however, <br /> more complex challenges must be dealt with quickly by experienced contractors. <br /> Over the past two years B&W Control Systems Integration LLC (B&W) provided significant <br /> upgrade and expansion services to the SCADA system. City staff were impressed with the <br /> firm's technical expertise and overall performance. Since B&W is the firm that is most familiar <br /> with the system, it is recommended that B&W be awarded this agreement. <br /> B&W will provide the following services: <br /> • Renew hardware and software support and extended warranty agreements <br /> • Perform continuous proactive system maintenance <br /> • Perform quarterly preventative system maintenance <br /> • Perform reactive maintenance as needed <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: None foreseen. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: <br /> Keith Alexander, Director of Water Management, 217-424-2863 or kalexander@decaturil.gov <br />
