Chris Ricci, Vice-Chair
Eric Alvarez, Member
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Jessica Hill, Interim Director of Community and Economic Development SUBJECT: Third Amendment to Agreement for Consultant Services for Hetch Hetchy and Claratina Avenue Structural Crossing
CONTACT: Phillip Soares, Senior Civil Engineer, [email protected] , 209-577-5258 DESCRIPTION:
Consider approving Third Amendment to the Agreement with Associated Right of Way Services for additional right-of-way services for the Hetch Hetchy and Claratina Avenue Structural Crossing Project, increasing the Agreement to a new total amount of $77,045 and forwarding to Council for approval. (Funding Source: Local Capital Facilities Fees) STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action is consistent with the City Council’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan, Goal D Ensure Safe, Efficient and Reliable Infrastructure.
BACKGROUND:
The Hetch Hetchy and Claratina Avenue Structural Crossing project intends to build a structural crossing as part of widening of Claratina Avenue between McHenry Avenue and Coffee Road.
To construct the project, the City is required to acquire property and Temporary Construction Easements (TCE’s) from property owners along Claratina Avenue.
On May 31, 2017, the City Manager approved an Agreement with Associated Right of Way Services (ARWS) to provide negotiation and acquisition services for the Hetch Hetchy and Claratina Avenue Structural Crossing project in an amount not to exceed $36,500.
As right-of-way services began, ARWS contacted the property owner, Parkwood Seventh-Day Adventist Church, and it was discovered that the existing residence at A.P.N. 082-009-003, has renters and would require relocation planning and assistance services as part of property acquisition.

Third Amendment to Agreement for Consultant Services for Hetch Hetchy and Claratina Avenue Structural Crossing Page 2 of 3
On October 9, 2017, City Manager approved the first Amendment to the Agreement to provide relocation planning and assistance services pertaining to 301 Claratina Avenue, Modesto CA for an amount not to exceed $10,000. The cost of the first amendment and the original contract were under the City Manager’s approval authority of $50,000.
On September 25, 2018, by Resolution No. 2018-406, Council approved the Second Amendment to the Agreement with ARWS for additional services needed outside of the current scope of services, including drafting/obtaining permits to enter, coordination and preparation of additional documentation requested by Hetch Hetchy, and review of additional appraisals completed by property owners.
DISCUSSION:
Associated Right of Way Services has completed several tasks from the original Agreement and prior amendments, however with the modifications to this project including the requirement to construct a larger structural crossing, there has been a delay in acquisition of the required right of way associated with the parcels along Claratina Avenue. With the parcel appraisals being completed in 2018, there is a need to update some of the property appraisals.
On April 10, 2023, ARWS submitted a request for a Third Amendment to the City to provide Appraisal Services for property acquisition and updated TCE to be written with language indicating that it would be in effect starting from first entry during construction for parcel 082- 009-003. The Third Amendment will also provide acquisition and administrative services for this parcel to proceed up to and through close of escrow.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding for the Third Amendment is available in the current FY 2022-2023 Capital Improvement Program budget in Account:
100945 – Capital Grants - Streets Capital Facility Fee Fund - 3410 “ Hetch-Hetchy and Claratina Structural Crossing”
ANTICIPATED RIGHT OF WAY SERVICES EXPENDITURES:
Original Agreement, (including Amendments 1-2) $57,585
Proposed Third Amendment $19,460
REVISED TOTAL AGREEMENT $77,045
RECOMMENDED COMMITTEE ACTION:
Staff Recommendations:
Motion approving a Third Amendment to the Agreement with Associated Right of Way Services for the Hetch Hetchy and Claratina Avenue Structural Crossing Project, to increase the existing Agreement by $19,460, from $57,585 for a total amount not to exceed $77,045 and forwarding to Council for approval.

SUBJECT: Electric Vehicle Charging Station Grant Submittal Authorization CONTACT: Patrick Crowley, Facilities Manager, [email protected], 209-342-2274 DESCRIPTION:
Consider authorizing staff to apply for all Electric Vehicle Charging Station Grants available and forwarding to Council for approval. (Funding Source: Not Applicable) STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action supports the City of Modesto’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan Initiative:
Economic Vitality: “retain an attract residential, commercial, and industrial development to meet the community’s needs today and for the next generation; Goal E: “drive the success of a vibrant and economically sustainable business climate”.
BACKGROUND:
In 2020, Governor Newsom’s Executive Order N-79-20 mandated that all new passenger vehicles sold in California be zero-emission vehicles by the year 2035. The Advanced Clean Cars II regulations were adopted in 2022, imposing the next level of low-emission and zeroemission vehicle standards for model years 2026-2035 that contribute to meeting federal ambient air quality ozone standards and California’s carbon neutrality targets. The Advanced Clean Cars II regulations will rapidly scale down emissions of light-duty passenger cars, pickup trucks and SUVs starting with the 2026 model year through 2035.1 The Advanced Clean Cars II regulations are two-pronged. First, they amend the Zero-Emission Vehicle Regulation to require an increasing number of zero-emission vehicles, and relies on currently available advanced vehicle technologies, including battery-electric, hydrogen fuel cell electric and plug-in hybrid electric-vehicles, to meet air quality and climate change emissions 1 California Air Resources Board, https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/advanced-clean-carsprogram/advanced-clean-cars-ii #2..

Electric Vehicle Charging Station Grant Submittal Authorization
standards. Second, the Low-Emission Vehicle Regulations were amended to include increasingly stringent standards for gasoline cars and heavier passenger trucks to continue to reduce smog-forming emissions. In January 2023, the California Energy Commission 2announced that 18.8% of all cars sold in California in 2022 were zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). Stanislaus County shows cumulative sales of over 5,000 light-duty ZEVs through 2022, with close to 12% of those vehicles being sold in in 2022.
The Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG) 3 produced a report in 2022 stating that the number of electric vehicles in our county is expected to increase dramatically in the next 15 years, with projections ranging from 60,000 to more than 180,000 EVs by 2035. To support 60,000 EV drivers (the low end of projection for 2035), nearly 5,000 workplace Level 2 chargers, 3,000 public Level 2 chargers, and 500 direct current fast chargers will be needed. At the high end of the EV projection, more than 20,000 workplace and public Level 2 chargers and more than 1,000 DC fast chargers would be needed. The StanCOG report also recommended that the first priority location for public charging stations would be the downtown parking garages at 9 th Street or 10th Street, followed by parking lots at selected shopping and medical centers.
DISCUSSION:
There are a variety of potential grant opportunities that would assist in funding the infrastructure needs for the implementation of public and fleet electric charging stations to meet the anticipated demands laid out within StanCOG’s report and anticipated through the State of California’s projected modelling, to meet the demands required for the zero-emissions vehicle mandate by 2035.
Potential federal funding, as well as state, air quality district, and utility provider funding opportunities, typically have very brief submission timelines. The approval to submit applications will position the City to be eligible to receive these funding options and provide critical monetary resources to implement public and fleet charging stations to accommodate the conversion to all electric vehicles for general use and City needs. This will also align the City with local, state, and federal requirements for reducing carbon emissions, improving air quality, and ensuring access to electric vehicle resources.4
FISCAL IMPACT:
Submitting a grant application does not commit the City to any financial obligations as this item is an administrative action.
Staff will submit to Council any grant awards that have matching fund requirements or exceed $100,000 in funding.

SUBJECT: Facility Name Change for Wastewater Treatment Facilities CONTACT: Jason Farnsworth, Wastewater Division Manager, [email protected], 209-577-6255
DESCRIPTION:
Consider approving renaming Modesto’s Water Quality Control Facilities to City of Modesto Regional Water Recycling Facility Sutter Campus and City of Modesto Regional Water Recycling Facility Jennings Campus and forwarding to Council for approval. (Funding Source:
Sewer Operations Fund)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action supports the 2020-2025 City of Modesto Strategic Plan Initiatives, Goal D: Provide safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure through proactive community investment, maintenance, and sustainability efforts.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Modesto owns and operates two wastewater treatment facilities: one on Sutter Avenue and one on Jennings Road. Modesto’s wastewater is treated to meet the stringent Federal and State regulatory requirements for recycled water. An average of 20 million gallons of Modesto’s wastewater is treated per day at the Sutter facility (Sutter). Of those, nearly 15 million gallons are further treated at the Jennings facility (Jennings) to tertiary (recycled water) levels, while the remaining wastewater is treated and stored at Jennings for irrigation of the Jennings Ranch.
In 1956, the wastewater treatment facility located on Sutter Avenue was referred to as “City of Modesto Sewage Treatment Plant”. On April 1, 1970, it was dedicated as “Modesto’s Water Quality Control Facility”.
#3..

Economic Development Committee, May 1, 2023
Facility Name Change for Wastewater Treatment Facilities
In 1969, the City purchased property along the San Joaquin River and began developing what is now the second largest pond system in the US. This newer system is often referred to as the “Jennings Secondary Treatment Facility”.
Over the years, both the Sutter and Jennings facilities have been referenced by various names in Resolutions and many other written documents and plans.
DISCUSSION:
Water is one of the most vital resources to our community, and conservation and management are of utmost importance. In this regard, the role of the City’s wastewater treatment facilities cannot be understated. These facilities are responsible for treating wastewater and ensuring that the wastewater returned to the region meets water quality objectives. However, the nomenclature of these facilities often lacks imagination and is not reflective of their true function.
The “Modesto Water Quality Control Facility” is a prime example of this issue. Renaming the facilities to the “City of Modesto's Regional Water Recycling Facility” reflects their actual operational function.
The outdated “Modesto Water Quality Control Facility” name was responsible for treating wastewater and ensuring that it meets water quality objectives. However, the name of the facility does not adequately convey its role in water conservation and sustainability. Instead, it is suggestive of a dated function that lacks innovation and may be disconnected from the community. On the other hand, the “City of Modesto's Water Recycling Facility” is a name that immediately conveys the purpose and function of the facility. The use of "water recycling" highlights the importance of water conservation and the need to recycle wastewater for reuse, while "Sutter Campus” and “Jennings Campus" emphasizes the facility's location and its relationship to the community it serves.
Furthermore, the proposed name is more in line with the current trends in the water/wastewater industry. The concept of water recycling is gaining popularity as a sustainable and eco-friendly method of water management. By renaming the facilities, Modesto will align itself with this trend, demonstrating its commitment to sustainable water management practices. The name change would also bring attention to the efforts of the facilities and the City to conserve water, which would be beneficial in promoting environmental awareness among the residents.
Renaming the “Modesto Water Quality Control Facility” to the “City of Modesto's Regional Water Recycling Facility” and highlighting the Sutter and Jennings Campus locations would also help to dispel any potential negative connotations often associated with wastewater treatment facilities. In addition, by emphasizing the facility's role in water recycling and conservation, the name change would rebrand the facility as a key player in promoting sustainable water management practices. This would also create a positive image of the facilities and encourage community members to support its efforts.
The official name for each facility is recommended as follows:
City of Modesto Regional Water Recycling Facility Sutter Campus City of Modesto Regional Water Recycling Facility Jennings Campus #3..

Staff has reviewed the various permits for both facilities and have confirmed with the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board that there are no restrictions preventing the renaming of the sites.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds for new signage will be budgeted in the Sewer Operations fund in FY 2024.

SUBJECT: Sale of Asset #20155-00 JWC Compactor with Auger and Grinder CONTACT: Jason Farnsworth, Wastewater Division Manager, [email protected], 209-577-6255
DESCRIPTION:
Consider approving the Sale of Asset # 20155-00, JWC Compactor with Auger and Grinder, to the City of Manteca for $6,500 and forwarding to Council for approval. (Funding Source:
Wastewater Fund)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action supports the 2020-2025 City of Modesto Strategic Plan Initiatives, Goal D: Provide safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure through proactive community investment, maintenance, and sustainability efforts.
BACKGROUND:
Asset # 20155-00, JWC Compactor with Auger and Grinder, currently located at Modesto’s Sutter Avenue Water Quality Control Facility, was taken out of service during the recently completed Headworks Capital Improvement Project. It was used to grind material from the Climber screen. It was in use for over 20 years and was ultimately taken out of service as it was deemed out-of-date and obsolete. The City of Modesto has since gone with a Sluice way and grinder to handle the debris from the fine screens.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Modesto Wastewater Division would like to sell Asset # 20155-00, to the City of Manteca, as they currently use the same make and model. Therefore, the City of Manteca can utilize the old asset as well as the remaining outdated mechanical seals that go with it.
Modesto Municipal Code Section 8-3.501(c) states that the Purchasing Manager, when designated by the City Manager, may also transfer any surplus personal property to another #4..

governmental agency or to a quasi-public agency by negotiated sale, exchange, loan, or gift; provided that gifts hereunder to any agency shall not exceed an aggregate value of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) annually. "Quasi-public agency," as used in this subsection, means a tax-exempt nonprofit corporation which is currently engaged in a public project financed in whole or in part by public funds pursuant to contract or grant agreement with a governmental agency, whose assets, upon dissolution, will not be distributable to or for any private person or purpose.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Finance advised that the determination of a ‘fair market value’ would be a matter for the expert and/or experienced personnel associated with the item being valued. A fair price of $6,500 was set for the equipment based on its condition, age, and other factors. By selling through a traditional sales process rather than relying on the unpredictability of an auction, helps to ensure that the City gets a fair price for their equipment.
Revenue received from the sale of this asset will be deposited into the Wastewater Fund.

Staff Recommendation:
Motion approving the Sale of Asset # 20155-00, JWC Compactor with Auger and Grinder, to the City of Manteca for $6,500 and forwarding to Council for approval.

SUBJECT: New Closed-Circuit Television Camera and Transporter CONTACT: Jason Farnsworth, Wastewater Division Manager, [email protected], 209-577-6255
DESCRIPTION:
Consider approving the Purchase of a Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) Camera and Transporter from RapidView LLC, Rochester, IN under the authorized dealer Jack Doheny Company (JDC), Northville, MI, for a total amount not to exceed $88,183 and forwarding to Council for approval. (Funding Source: Sewer Operations Fund) STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action supports the City of Modesto 2020-2025 Strategic Plan Initiatives, Goal D: Provide safe, efficient and reliable infrastructure through proactive community investment, maintenance and sustainability efforts.
BACKGROUND:
In 2006, the State Water Regional Quality Control Board (SWRQCB) implemented the general Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) governing the operations and maintenance of wastewater collection systems.
There is approximately 3,432,000 linear feet of pipeline in the City’s wastewater collection system. The City of Modesto, Wastewater Division is responsible for managing the City’s wastewater collection system and maintaining compliance with the WDR, which requires a Sanitary Sewer Management Plan (SSMP) be adopted by the “Enrollees” governing board at a public meeting.
In March 2007, HDR, a consultant group, completed a “WDR Gap Analysis” for the City with recommendations for maintaining compliance with the WDR. The WDR Gap Analysis recommended the purchase of an additional CCTV inspection unit (van). #5..

Economic Development Committee, May 01, 2023
New Closed-Circuit Television Camera and Transporter
On April 07, 2009, by Resolution No. 2009-150, the City Council approved the completed SSMP1. A key element in the SSMP, as outlined in the WDR, is the development of a rehabilitation and replacement plan. The program should include regular visual and TV inspections of manholes and sewer pipes.
The City’s only CCTV van inspects approximately 24,000 linear feet of pipe per month. At this rate, it will take 11.9 years to inspect the entire wastewater collection system one time. It was determined, an additional CCTV unit was critical in completing visual inspections of the entire system in a timely manner. In doing so, it improves the City’s Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) reduction program.
With the purchase of the additional CCTV van, the City of Modesto is able to inspect its entire system well within compliance of industry standards. Industry standard calls for inspection of the entire wastewater collection system lines every 6-10 years.
On February 08, 2022, by Resolution No. 2022-087, the City Council approved the purchase of an additional CCTV Van from JDC, Northville, MI for a total cost not to exceed $264,154.
DISCUSSION:
The CCTV van was purchased as a complete operating unit. However, the included camera and transporter were designed for use in smaller diameter pipelines. In order to fully utilize the additional CCTV van, an additional camera and transporter, capable of inspecting larger diameter pipelines, is necessary. Furthermore, CCTV cameras and transporters are high wear items and require service on a regular basis. To avoid inspection interruptions, this additional equipment is recommended to also serve as a backup camera and transporter.
On April 5, 2023, the City Manager authorized the Purchasing Manager to solicit the procurement for a CCTV camera and transporter. On October 19, 2021, Sourcewell issued Request for Proposals (RFP) #120721 for Underground Infrastructure Inspection and Rehabilitation Equipment with Related Services, on the Sourcewell website2, the Sourcewell Procurement Portal3, Public Purchase website4, The New York State Contract Reporter website5, Merx, Biddingo, and The Oregon Daily Journal of Commerce. On December 7, 2021 proposals were electronically opened, and the list of all Proposers was made publicly available on the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. Thirteen (13) proposals were received and based on the Sourcewell Proposal Review Committee and criteria outlined in the RFP, four (4) contracts were awarded6 for this commodity which includes the CCTV Camera and Transporter. Based on the responsive and responsible proposer offering the7, City Staff recommends to award to Jack 1 Several updates to the SSMP have been approved by Council since that time: February 07, 2012, March 03, 2015, and August 17, 2017

Economic Development Committee, May 01, 2023
New Closed-Circuit Television Camera and Transporter
Doheny Company, Northville, MI to purchase the CCTV camera and transporter for an amount not to exceed $88,183.
Sourcewell is a cooperative agency which streamlines the procurement process by developing Request for Bids (RFBs) or Request for Proposals (RFPs) for national competitive solicitations that meet or exceed local requirements. The competitive process is continually refined to best meet agency needs and allows Sourcewell to offer exceptional products from nationally acclaimed vendors.
Modesto Municipal Code Section 8-3.203 generally requires all purchases, which meet or exceed $50,000 for material, equipment, or contractual services to be formally bid. However, exceptions to the formal bidding process are granted in MMC 8-3.204(d) “Where the Purchasing Manager, in his or her discretion, determines that a process other than the formal bid procedure set for in Section 8-3.203 will result in procurement for the City at the lowest possible cost commensurate with the desired quality.” In addition, MMC 8-3.202(h) encourages the Purchasing Manager to join with the State of California and other units of government in cooperative purchasing plans when the best cost savings interest of the City would be served.
By utilizing Sourcewell, the City is complying with the requirements defined under this code for the CCTV camera and transporter.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The anticipated one-time cost of $88,183 was planned for and budgeted within the current Fiscal Year 22-23 operating budget.
The original quote was received prior to April 01, 2023 and includes the previous sales tax rate of 7.875% contributing $6,382.38 to the total cost of $87,377.02. However, the true total cost was calculated according to the new sales tax rate of 8.875% or $7,188.27 for a total cost of $88,183.
Due to the short life of the quote (30 days), an updated quote reflecting the new tax rate will be requested prior to taking the item to Council, which is scheduled for May 06, 2023 pending Committee approval.

SUBJECT: Procurement of Accu-Tab Chlorination Tablets and Systems for the Purpose of Water Treatment
CONTACT: Jeff Daniels, Water Division Manager, [email protected], 209-342-4568 DESCRIPTION:
Consider approving an Agreement with Westlake Corporation for the Purchase of Accu-Tab Chlorination Systems and related equipment for a total amount not to exceed $650,000 over five (5) years and forwarding to Council for approval. (Funding Source: Water Fund) STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action supports the 2020-2025 City of Modesto Strategic Plan Initiatives, Goal D: Provide safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure through proactive community investment, maintenance, and sustainability efforts.
BACKGROUND:
The Utilities Department, Water Services Division, uses chlorine tablets and systems to treat various water well sites. Chlorination tablets and system services are necessary to ensure the water quality supply for the City’s service areas and to meet all compliance requirements set forth by the California State Water Resources Control Board, which requires well water to be chlorinated.
On October 23, 2012, by Council Resolution 2012-423, Council authorized the award of sole source procurement for the purchase and delivery of Accu-Tab Calcium Hypochlorite tablets, PowerPro Chlorination Systems and related equipment to Pittsburgh Plate Glass (PPG) Industries, Pittsburgh, PA. In January 2013, PPG merged with Georgia Gulf Corporation to become Axiall Corporation (Axiall); however, all other terms and conditions of the agreement remained the same.
On June 6, 2017, by Council Resolution 2017-212, Council authorized the award of sole source procurement for the purchase and delivery of Accu-Tab Calcium Hypochlorite tablets, PowerPro Chlorination Systems and related equipment to Axiall. In September 2022, Axiall merged with #6..

Economic Development Committee, May 1, 2023
Procurement of Accu-Tab Chlorination Tablets and Systems for the Purpose of Water Treatment
Westlake Corporation (“Westlake”), Houston, TX. The current agreement is set to expire June 30, 2023.
DISCUSSION:
Staff recommends establishing a new agreement with Westlake for the sole source procurement of Accu-Tab Calcium Hypochlorite tablets, PowerPro Chlorination Systems and related equipment. The Accu-Tab chlorination systems are in place at approximately 30 domestic water well sites throughout the City and its outlying systems. The use of any other tablets in an AccuTab feeder will void the warranty from Westlake, void the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) certification issued to this system, and may also cause inadequate or over-chlorination due to variation in the dilution rate.
Modesto Municipal Code Section 8-3.204 generally requires all purchases which meet or exceed $50,000 for material, equipment or contractual services to be formally bid. However, MMC 8-3.204(b) provides that a purchase may be exempted from the City’s formal bidding requirement where the Purchasing Agency’s requirements can be met solely by a single article or process. Due to the fact that Westlake is the original manufacturer for the Accu-Tab CalciumHypochlorite tablets, PowerPro Chlorination Systems, and related equipment, staff recommends that Westlake should be exempt from the formal bidding procedures in accordance with Modesto Municipal Code 8-3.204(b).
FISCAL IMPACT:
The current agreement had an average of $64,000 expended annually over the last five years (to date).
YEAR EXPENDED
Contract Year 1 $58,995
Contract Year 2 $58,476
Contract Year 3 $98,784
Contract Year 4 $54,896
Contract Year 5 (year-to-date) $48,125
TOTAL $319,276
Staff estimates annual expenditures not to exceed $125,000 for the first year of the new agreement, and the total five-year amount not to exceed $650,000. This anticipated increase is based on the spending trend from the previous five years and accounts for the addition of four new treatment sites requiring chlorination, as well as two new sites that will be receiving chlorination treatment in the next five years. Also, if California continues to deal with low precipitation or drought conditions over the course of the agreement, the City will rely more heavily on groundwater, which will increase chlorine usage requirements.
Sufficient funds are budgeted in the Water Fund operating budget, Chemical and Lab Supplies account: 4100-45050-52190, to support staff’s recommendation. #6..

4.1.1 Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the Parties, Buyer shall purchase and accept the Product in reasonably uniform monthly quantities and per a monthly delivery schedule for each specified facility to be agreed upon by Seller and Buyer from time-totime. For avoidance of doubt and subject to the Force Majeure provisions in this Agreement, Seller shall not be obligated to sell and deliver hereunder during any calendar month more than one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Contract Year maximum specified below in Section 4.1.4.
4.1.2 Without Seller’s prior written consent, Buyer will not reduce its requirements hereunder for the Product by using a substitute grade or commodity for the Product.
4.1.3 If Buyer’s actual purchases hereunder are consistently less than eighty-five percent (85%) of Buyer’s estimated quantities for the Product for any single location, then Seller may initiate a renegotiation of the price structure under this Agreement for that Product by providing written notice to Buyer. Upon the serving of such notice, the Parties shall undertake promptly and in good faith to determine, what, if any, revision of the price structure is appropriate. If such negotiations do not result in agreement within sixty (60) days after the notice is served, Seller may, at its option and by written notice to Buyer within thirty (30) days thereafter, terminate this Agreement as to the applicable Product or all Product effective thirty (30) days from the date of the termination notice.
4.1.4 Maximum Sales Obligation. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Seller, Seller’s maximum Product sales obligation hereunder during each Contract Year of this Agreement for each facility specified above in Section 4.1 is 40 tons; provided, however, if Buyer’s actual purchases hereunder are consistently less than Buyer’s estimated quantities for a Product for each facility, then Seller upon written notice to Buyer may reduce Seller’s maximum sales obligation hereunder for the remaining term of this Agreement for the applicable Product to more closely reflect the actual quantities then being purchased by Buyer of that Product (any such written notice from Seller will specify Seller’s reduced annual Contract Year maximum). In the event Buyer reasonably anticipates the minimum percentage requirements specified above will generate a quantity for the Product for a Contract Year which is more than Seller’s maximum sales obligation specified above for the applicable Product, Buyer shall notify Seller of such excess requirement as to which Seller shall have a first right of refusal. Within thirty (30) days of Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s notice, Seller, at its option, shall notify Buyer that either Seller will supply such excess requirements under this Agreement or that Buyer is free to purchase such excess requirements elsewhere for that Contract Year.
4.1.5 Notwithstanding anything above or any prior course of dealing between Buyer and Seller, Buyer shall not be required to purchase any fixed minimum or estimated quantity of a Product for which it has no actual need during the term of this Agreement. #6..

5.1.2 Government Restriction on Prices Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days’ notice to Buyer in the event Seller desires to revise the price or prices pursuant to this Section 5.0, but is restricted to any extent against so doing by reason of any law, decree, order or regulation of government or in the event the price or prices currently effective hereunder are deemed to be in excess of those allowed under any law, decree, order or regulation of government
5.1.3 Temporary Voluntary Allowances and Price Reductions.

To the extent that Seller determines in its sole discretion that it is desirable to do so, Buyer hereby authorizes Seller to execute on its behalf and file it in all appropriate governmental offices such UCC-1 Financing Statements (or similar filings in foreign jurisdictions) as may be deemed necessary and appropriate by Seller to perfect such security interest.
6.0 Title and Delivery. Unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties, the Product shall be delivered, and title and ownership of the Product shall transfer and pass to Buyer upon delivery of the Product to Buyer at Buyer’s facility. Risk of loss of the Product and terms of carriage and related obligations of Seller and Buyer shall be per and as defined in the transportation trade term (Incoterms® 2010) specified in Section 5.1 hereof.

6.1 Conditions Precedent to Deliveries in Event of Adverse Financial Conditions or Bankruptcy. In the event that: (a) one or more events occur which, in Seller’s sole discretion, adversely affect Buyer’s financial condition; or (b) Buyer files a voluntary petition for relief under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar law, or has an involuntary petition for such relief filed against it which is not dismissed within thirty (30) days, Seller, in its sole and exclusive discretion, shall have the right to stop any shipments of the Product or any other goods then in transit to Buyer, and thereby exercise an immediate right of possession thereto.
7.0 Seller’s Right to Setoff. In the event that Buyer files a voluntary petition for relief under Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar law, or has an involuntary petition for such relief filed against it which is not dismissed within thirty (30) days, Seller, in its sole and exclusive discretion, shall have the right to institute an administrative freeze on the payment of any sums due and owing from Seller to Buyer under any agreement between the Parties, and Buyer hereby consents to relief from the automatic stay being granted to Seller under Bankruptcy Code Section 362(d) or any similar law, on the filing of any appropriate motion, to effect setoff of any sums due and owing from Seller to Buyer against any sums due and owing from Buyer to Seller.

Westlake_City of Modesto MASTER SALES CONTRACT T(July 2023) Page 5 of 23
8.0 Executory Contract. Buyer and Seller each hereby agree that there are ongoing material obligations owed by each to the other under this Agreement, other than the right to payment, such that the Agreement is an “executory contract” within the contemplation of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.
9.0 Confidentiality. Any information disclosed or provided by one Party hereto to the other under and in connection with this Agreement and marked as being confidential, and in any event the pricing, forecasts and terms and conditions of this Agreement, all shall be confidential, shall be used only for purposes of this Agreement and shall not be disclosed by a Party hereto to any third party without the prior written consent of the other Party, except (i) as required by law, governmental regulation, court order or similar legal process, or applicable stock exchange rules and regulations, provided the Party seeking to disclose notifies the other Party of the requirement to disclose and reasonably cooperates with the other Party to limit the disclosure, (ii) to the extent such matter or information is or becomes publicly known other than by disclosure to the Party seeking to disclose, (iii) to the extent such information is independently developed without resort to the disclosed information, or (iv) to the extent such matter or information has been lawfully received by the Party seeking to disclose from a third party who has not breached a contractual, legal or fiduciary duty of nondisclosure with respect to such matter or information. The obligations set forth in this Section 9.0 shall continue during the term of this Agreement and for two (2) calendar years thereafter.
10.0 Hardship. If, during the term of this Agreement, either Party hereto experiences a Hardship (as defined below), the affected Party may initiate a renegotiation of the price structure under this Agreement by providing written notice to the other stating the grounds upon which the price adjustment is required. Upon the serving of any such notice, the Parties shall undertake promptly and in good faith to determine, what, if any, revision of the price structure is appropriate. If such negotiations do not result in agreement within sixty (60) days after the notice is served, the Party which served the notice may, at its option and by written notice to the other Party within thirty (30) days thereafter, terminate this Agreement effective thirty (30) days from the date of the termination notice. As used herein, the term “Hardship” shall mean any substantial change in the conditions surrounding this Agreement which change: (i) is or might be reasonably likely to result in a material hardship to either Party with respect to this Agreement; and (ii) was not intended or reasonably anticipated by the affected Party when entering into this Agreement – for example, where the enactment, promulgation or requirement of any governmental law or regulation and/or judicial or administrative order requires Seller or Buyer to invest capital with respect to the production or use of one of the Products and without revision of the price structure, there would be no corresponding economic benefit generated by the investment to substantially offset its financial impact on that Party or, for another example, where the costs of raw materials or energy for the production of the Product deviates significantly from historic costs therefor. By way of example, and without limitation, an increase of US$50 or more in Seller’s cost to produce one ECU constitutes a Hardship.
11.0 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original notwithstanding that all of the Parties’ signatures do not appear on the same page, and all of which taken together will constitute one single agreement between the Parties.
12.0 General Terms. The attached General Terms for Sales Agreement and the Exhibits form an integral part of this Agreement as if recited at length over the signatures hereto affixed.
Each Party is signing this Agreement as of the Effective Date.

11.1 Except to the extent of a claim to enforce intellectual property rights or confidentiality obligations (which nevertheless shall be subject to the choice of venue provision contained in the second sentence of Section 11.4), and as a precondition to instituting any legal action permitted by the provisions below, any controversy, claim or dispute between the Parties arising out of or relating to the provision of this Agreement or the breach, termination or a validity thereof shall, upon written request of either Party, immediately be referred jointly for resolution to senior executives of each of the Parties who have authority to settle the controversy and who are at a higher level of management than the person(s) with direct responsibility for day-to-day administration of this Agreement. Within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the written request of a Party, the receiving Party shall submit to the other a written response. The request notice and the response shall each include: (a) a statement of the respective Party’s position and a summary of arguments supporting that position; and (b) the name and title of any other person who will accompany the senior executive. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of the disputing Party’s request notice, the senior executives of both Parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt in good faith to resolve the controversy. The Parties agree to honor all reasonable requests for information. All negotiations pursuant to this provision are confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence.
11.2 If the controversy has not been resolved by negotiation within forty-five (45) days of the disputing Party’s request notice, or if the Parties failed to meet within thirty (30) days of such request, the Parties agree to attempt to settle the dispute by mediation under any mediation rules mutually agreed upon by the Parties by one Party serving a written request on the other. Unless otherwise agreed, the Parties shall select a neutral mediator that is mutually agreed upon by the Parties.
The mediation shall be held in a location in the United States mutually agreed to by the Parties.
All mediation proceedings are non-binding.
11.3 This mediation must be concluded within any period mutually agreed upon by the Parties or if there is no such agreement, then within forty-five (45) days of the selection of the mediator.
Unless the Parties expressly agree otherwise, each Party shall bear its own costs, legal and expert fees incurred in mediation, and evenly share the costs of the mediator. If after proceeding in good faith (i) the Parties are unable to agree on a neutral mediator within thirty (30) days of the failure of the senior executives to meet as required in Section 11.2 or the failure of the senior executives to resolve the dispute in accordance with Section 11.2, whichever is earlier; or (ii) with the assistance of a neutral mediator, the Parties do not resolve the dispute within the period prescribed in this Section 11.3, the Parties may proceed in accordance with Section 11.4 below.
11.4 After exhausting the procedures set forth above, either Party may initiate litigation to resolve the dispute. The litigation shall be commenced only in the state court or federal court located in the state of Texas and each Party hereto submits to the jurisdiction of the court in which such litigation is commenced.
12.0 Reformation: If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal or unenforceable for any reason, that provision shall be reformed to the maximum extent permitted to preserve the Parties’ original intent. If the provision cannot be reformed in a way that preserves the Parties’ original intent, it will be deleted and severed from this Agreement with the balance of this Agreement continuing in full force and effect.
13.0 Assignment: Neither this Agreement nor any right hereunder is assignable or otherwise transferable by a Party to a third party without the prior written consent of the other Party, not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that subject to the Export Controls provision herein, either Party may, without the written consent of the other, assign this Agreement and its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder to an affiliate, or to a third party in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of its business related to this Agreement, or in the event of its merger, consolidation or similar transaction.

SUBJECT: Design-Build Agreement for SCADA System Replacement Project CONTACT: Juan Ochoa, Associate Engineer, [email protected], 209-577-5423 DESCRIPTION:
Consider awarding a Progressive Design-Build Agreement with TelStar Instruments, Inc.
Concord, CA, for the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System Replacement Project for a total amount not to exceed $2,947,531, and approving a Technical Advisor Services Agreement with EMA, Inc. Tucson, AZ, for a total amount not to exceed $406,663 and forwarding to Council for approval. (Funding Source: 50% Water Fund and 50% Wastewater Fund) STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
The recommended action supports the 2020-2025 City of Modesto Strategic Plan Initiatives, Goal D: Provide safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure through proactive community investment, maintenance, and sustainability efforts.
BACKGROUND:
The City uses a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to operate over 200 water, wastewater, and storm drain facilities (including groundwater wells, tanks, wastewater treatment plant equipment, and lift stations). The SCADA system is comprised of computer hardware, software and a telemetry system that is critical in controlling and delivering a safe drinking water supply to customers, monitoring stormwater pumping and helps in controlling the conveyance and treatment of the City’s wastewater.
Hoge-Shansky-Quetnick (HSQ) Technology is the developer and sole vendor of the City’s existing SCADA system. This SCADA system is over 20 years old and is at the end of its life cycle. The system does not use current technology, thus making this proprietary product expensive to implement, and difficult to operate and maintain. Since SCADA improvements can be costly, prior to making any management decisions to upgrade or replace portions of the #7..

Economic Development Committee, May 01, 2023
Design-Build Agreement for SCADA System Replacement Project
SCADA system, an independent review of its current capabilities, and a thorough assessment of current and anticipated SCADA needs was required.
On June 7, 2016, by Resolution No. 2016-236, Council approved an Agreement with EMA, Inc. (EMA), to conduct a SCADA Upgrade Study, which was intended to independently review the existing SCADA system and recommend if the City should continue with the HSQ system or migrate to another SCADA system. This study concluded it is necessary for the City to migrate to another system to achieve the performance requirements of a functional, modern, and reliable SCADA system.
While the study concluded the need to migrate to another system, additional planning level work was omitted due to funding restrictions. This additional planning level work, which needed to be completed in order to migrate to another SCADA system, was generally within the scope of the original Request for Proposal (RFP); therefore, staff recommended retaining EMA, who was the most qualified consultant after solicitation per Administrative Directive 3.1.
On November 8, 2017, by Resolution No. 2017-429, Council approved an Agreement with EMA for consultant services for the planning of the SCADA System Replacement for Water and Wastewater Utility Operations. The scope of services included:
Developing a conceptual preliminary SCADA architecture Evaluating SCADA hardware and software vendors
Assisting the City with the negotiation of pricing structures for future SCADA components Facilitating structured demonstrations of vendor-proposed equipment to ensure compatibility with the City’s existing proprietary system Conducting remote site telemetry planning to enhance reliability and speed of networks The primary goal of the design-build (D-B) project is to replace the existing HSQ SCADA system City wide with a new system that will include new Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC’s), radios for the City’s water, wastewater collection, storm water and wastewater treatment facilities. Transitioning to a new system will allow the City to achieve the performance requirements of a functional, modern, and reliable SCADA system.
Considering the critical need to upgrade the City’s SCADA system and the lack of in-house expertise, Staff recommends pursuing a D-B approach. The benefits of D-B include minimizing risks to the City, reducing the project delivery schedule, and decreasing disputes, since the same entity is the single point of responsibility for design, construction and implementation.
Normally, the City hires a consultant to complete finished plans for a project, and then solicits bids from contractors to construct the project based on the design plans. For a design-build project, a single entity is hired to both complete finished plans and construct the project.
Chapter 3, “City Contracts,” of Title 8 of the Modesto Municipal Code (MMC) establishes policies and procedures governing the purchase of goods and services in accordance with the City’s Charter. As a charter city, Modesto has exempted itself from the California Public Contract Code and its requirements, such as the requirement that all public works projects in excess of $50,000 be competitively or publicly bid. However, Section 1307 of the City’s Charter requires that public works projects involving an expenditure of City funds in excess of an amount established by an ordinance of the Council be competitively bid. Currently, under the MMC, all #7..

Economic Development Committee, May 01, 2023
Design-Build Agreement for SCADA System Replacement Project
public works projects in excess of $50,000 are competitively bid, unless the Council approves an exception for a particular project by ordinance.
Section 8-3.102(aa) of Article 1, of Chapter 3 of Title 8 of the MMC authorizes the use of D-B procurement for the SCADA System Replacement Project consistent with the requirement of the Public Contract Code regarding design-build projects
On October 6, 2020, by Resolution No. 2020-414, Council approved an Agreement with Carollo Engineers, Inc. (Carollo) for Design-Build Owner Advisor Services for the SCADA System Replacement Project. The scope of services included:
Project management and administration
Develop D-B procurement strategy, criteria, documentation, and schedule Develop D-B proposal documents and review criteria
Assist staff to evaluate proposals and negotiate final D-B contract Provide system integration coordination, assistance, and inspection services Startup and testing coordination
DISCUSSION:
On June 1, 2021, the City issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) via the Planet Bids website. On September 3, 2021, staff received two (2) RFP’s.
The proposals included requirements for the D-B services, preliminary design information, contract documents and draft Agreements, technical requirements and project reference information.
The firms were required to submit the following with their Proposal:
Qualifications and Experience
Project Management
Project Understanding & Approach
Cost Proposal
Proposal Forms
Project Schedule
Detailed Scope of Work
On September 30, 2021, a committee consisting of City of Modesto Utilities Staff reviewed, scored, and ranked the two firms. After evaluating the proposals, TelStar Instruments (Concord, CA) / ArcSine Engineering (Redding, CA) was selected as the most qualified D-B team to provide progressive design-build services for the SCADA System Replacement Project. Since a D-B project is a unique, the process to negotiate and draft a final agreement with Telestar Instruments has taken much longer than it would for a typical project.
The D-B team scope of work for the Project will be performed in two distinct phases under a single Progressive D-B Agreement between the City and D-B team. The two distinct phases are generally described as follows:
Under Pre-Design (Phase 1), the D-B team will provide the following: (a) perform design development; (b) perform pre-construction services; and (c) prepare, submit, and negotiate a #7..
- 112 -
Economic Development Committee, May 01, 2023
Design-Build Agreement for SCADA System Replacement Project
commercial proposal for the Construction Phase Services, including a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). Should the City find the GMP acceptable, an amendment to the Progressive DesignBuild Agreement will need to be approved by City Council. At that time, a Notice to Proceed will be provided to the Telstar/Arcsine team to begin the actual D-B Phase of the project (Phase 2).
The D-B Phase of Services for the SCADA System Replacement Project will provide the D-B team the ability to complete the entirety of the Project’s design and construction, as well as perform post-construction tasks, such as commissioning, and final testing.
EMA is the City’s technical advisor consultant for this project. Due to staffing and lack of inhouse expertise of SCADA projects, as well as the size and complexity of the project, construction and engineering support during construction will be needed. Therefore, Staff recommends approving the Agreement with EMA for technical support services during preconstruction and construction for the SCADA System Replacement Project.
In accordance with Modesto Municipal Code 8-3.204(a) Exceptions to Formal Bidding Requirements, this agreement is for professional services and, therefore, exempt from the bid requirement. Pursuant to Administrative Directive 3.1., the Director, at his direction, may secure a candidate firm if it is in the best interest of the City and if the firm has rendered satisfactory services with the City. Based on the consultant’s project team and previous experience and work performed, staff recommends the approval of an agreement with EMA, Inc.
The scope of services to be provided under this Technical Advisor Agreement includes:
Project Management
Design Field Investigations
Project Workshop
Submittal Review
Construction Phase Scope & GMP Proposal Review
Construction Phase Services
Additional Technical Advisory
These support services will facilitate additional D-B activities during design, construction, and will promote timely and successful completion of the project, while also reducing risk to the City.
FISCAL IMPACT:
CIP ACCOUNT:
Total estimated cost for the Pre-Design (Phase 1) of the SCADA System Replacement Project is $3,555,446. Phase 1 of the project costs will be shared equally between the water fund and wastewater fund. Partial funding for the Pre-Design phase is budgeted in the current FY22-23 Capital Improvement Program budget in Account:

5.2.2 Waiver and Release upon Payment. Each Progress Payment shall be conditioned upon DB Entity providing to Owner with the corresponding Application for Payment a conditional waiver and release of claims for payment upon payment from the DB Entity and each of its subcontractors and materials suppliers that have contracts with DB Entity that exceed $250,000 in the form required by Civil Code Section 8132, covering all sums requested in such Application for Payment, and an unconditional waiver and release of claims for payment from each party, in the form required by Civil Code Section 8132, covering sums disbursed pursuant to the most recently preceding Application for Payment. Failure to provide either a condition waiver and release, or unconditional waiver and release shall result in the subject sums being in dispute, and thus withheld from payment.
5.2.3 Option for Escrow or Securities in Lieu of Retention. Pursuant to the requirements of Public Contract Code Section 22300, upon DB Entity's request within ten (10) days of execution of this Agreement, Owner will make payment to DB Entity of any earned retention funds withheld from payments under this Agreement if DB Entity deposits with Owner or in escrow with a California or federally chartered bank acceptable to Owner, securities eligible for the investment pursuant to Government Code Section 16430 or bank or savings and loan certificates of deposit.
1. Conditions upon such deposit include the following:
(a) DB Entity shall be the beneficial owner of any securities substituted for retention funds withheld and shall receive any interest thereon. (b) All expenses relating to the substitution of securities under said Section 22300 and under this Article 5.2, including, but not limited to Owner’s overhead and administrative expenses, and expenses of escrow agent shall be the responsibility of the DB Entity.
(c) If DB Entity shall choose to enter into an escrow agreement, such agreement shall be in the form as set forth in Public Contract Code section 22300(f) and which shall allow for the conversion to cash to provide funds to meet defaults by the DB Entity including, but not limited to, termination of the DB Entity's control over the work, stop notices filed pursuant to law, assessment of liquidated damages or amount to be kept or retained under the provisions of the Contract Documents.
(d) Securities, if any, shall be returned to DB Entity only upon satisfactory completion of the Agreement.
2. To minimize the expense caused by such substitution of securities, DB Entity shall, prior to or at the time DB Entity requests to substitute security, deposit sufficient security to cover the entire amount to be then withheld and to be withheld under the General Conditions of this Agreement. Should the value of such substituted security at any time fall below the amount for which it was substituted, or any other amount which Owner determines to withhold, DB Entity shall immediately, and at DB Entity's expense, deposit additional security qualifying under said Section 22300 until the total security #7..

SCADA Upgrade Progressive Design Build Contract, Page 7 of 83 deposited is no less than equivalent to the amount subject to withholding under the Agreement.
3. In the alternative, under Section 22300, DB Entity, at its own expense, may request Owner to make payment of earned retention funds directly to the escrow agent.
Also at the expense of DB Entity, DB Entity may direct investment of the payments into securities, and DB Entity shall receive the interest earned on the investment upon the same conditions as shown in this Agreement for securities deposited by DB Entity. Upon satisfactory completion of the Agreement, DB Entity shall receive from the escrow agent all securities, interest and payments received by the escrow agent from Owner, pursuant to the terms of Section 22300.
4. If any provision of this Article 5.2 shall be found to be illegal or unenforceable, then, notwithstanding, this Article 5.2 shall remain in full force and effect, and such provision shall be deemed stricken.
5.3 Final Payment. Upon Final Acceptance of the Work in accordance with Paragraph 13.08 of the General Conditions, Owner shall pay the remainder of the Contract Price as provided in said Paragraph 13.08. DB Entity shall not be entitled to payment for non-conforming work performed, so long as any lawful or proper direction concerning that non-conforming work or any portion thereof given by Owner lacks correction by DB Entity. Owner may withhold from the Progress Payments one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the estimated value of any amount in dispute between Owner and DB Entity. This provision shall also apply in the event that a portion of noncomplying Work may impact other completed Work, resulting in a need to reconstruct or rework related Work. Owner shall not unreasonably withhold payment for unrelated and uninvolved Work in the event of dispute over non-complying Work without entering into negotiations to arrive at settlement of said conflict, unless withholding pursuant to a Stop Payment Notice.
5.4 Date of Payment. It is the policy of Owner that payment for all goods and services shall be made in a timely manner and that interest payments are made on late payments. The time at which payment shall be due from Owner shall be thirty (30) days from receipt of a proper invoice (i.e., Application for Payment) and acceptance of services, based on compliance with the statutory requirements set forth in California Public Contract Code section 7107, and upon satisfaction of the conditions as detailed in the contract.

SECTION 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The City of Modesto utilizes a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to monitor and control the City’s water, wastewater, and stormwater systems. The existing SCADA system is based on the HSQ MISER software and associated HSQ hardware. The MISER system has been in place for more than 20 years.
The City commissioned this SCADA system study to begin the process of determining the future direction of the SCADA systems. Some of these issues include:
• Concerns over hardware and software obsolescence.
• Increased demands for access to the SCADA system and the data gathered by the SCADA system for planning and analysis.
• Desire for system functionality enhancements.
• Dependence on a single vendor for SCADA system supply and support. • Concerns associated with SCADA system support, both for day-to-day maintenance and support for system expansion.
The design criteria includes a broad ranging set of requirements which encompass many components of a complete SCADA system., Some specific items not included in the evaluation include:
• SCADA software selection
• Detailed SCADA system architecture development
• Radio communications systems
• Local Area Networks (LANs)
• Wide Area Networks (WANs)
SCADA SYSTEM VISION
The vision for the future of the City’s SCADA system is:
A reliable, flexible, and maintainable SCADA system that provides easy access to operational data, supports the Utilities Department’s mission, and is expandable and configurable to support future optimization initiatives. 1 #7..
- 131 -
SCADA SYSTEM UPGRADE STUDY EMA, INC. | 2
Supporting the vision will require the system to be:
• Reliable to ensure continuous operations to meet regulatory requirements. • Maintainable – through trained City staff, as well as through multiple sources of external maintenance support.
• Accessible to a variety of staff for operations, planning, and analysis purposes. • Flexible, as it will likely be constructed.
• In phases over time and potentially through various capital projects. The system must be able to adapt to changes in technology, staff, and processes to take advantage of emerging technologies.
REQUIREMENTS DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
A series of interviews, an on-line survey, and facilitated workshops were used to develop a set of requirements for a future SCADA system. The requirements development process began with discussions about how the individuals used the SCADA system or consumed data from the SCADA system. The focus was on how to effectively leverage SCADA to support the operations, practices, and technology needs of the City. As such, the requirements which were developed encompass more than just hardware and software needs of the SCADA system; they include items such as data management and analysis, enhanced operator interfaces, and system support.
The requirements were documented, categorized, and prioritized. Additional detail on the SCADA system requirements is provided in Section 3.
SCADA SYSTEM RECOMMENDATION
The path for the SCADA system upgrade will be a complete replacement using a Commercial off the shelf (COTS) platform which will accommodate the size and scope of the city’s current system, and still be able to accommodate future expansion. The COTS, when properly designed, installed and configured, can fully meet the defined system requirements, as well as the SCADA Vision and Goals outlined in Section 2 of this document.
SCADA SYSTEM MAINTENANCE STAFFING
The current support for SCADA is done by a mixture of Utilities Staff, City IT Staff, and external resources. The maintenance organization can be characterized as a semicentralized maintenance organization, where some functions are centralized, in this case with the City IT group, and others are distributed across the Utilities operations groups.
External support contracts are also used to support the HSQ system. #7..
- 132 -
SCADA SYSTEM UPGRADE STUDY EMA, INC. | 3
The recommendation for the future state of SCADA system support is to maintain a semicentralized support model. In this model, the City IT group supplies dedicated SCADA support staff, supplemented by part-time support by other IT group technical specialists, with a primary focus on the SCADA system human machine interfaces and databases. Both the water and wastewater instrumentation and control (I&C groups would maintain a maintenance and support role for field RTUs. We also recommend that additional training be provided to selected Utilities staff to become “superusers” of the system. These superusers will have a deeper knowledge of the SCADA system than many users and can help standard users with day-to-day activities such as data access and reporting. #7..

SECTION 2. PROJECT GOALS AND SCADA VISION
SCADA VISION
Utilities Department Mission and Vision
The Utilities Department has developed a mission statement, summarizing the department’s essential work. Taken from the 2015/2016 business plan, the mission statement is:
“The Utilities Department will efficiently and effectively operate, protect, and manage all water infrastructure and water resources for the current and future needs of the community and the environment.”
Related to the mission statement is the Utilities Department vision statement, “The Utilities Department will provide consistently reliable service to its customers in its management of Modesto’s critical water resources and will remain in full compliance with all applicable regulations while anticipating and preparing for future challenges.”
SCADA Vision Development
A number of key goals, which will impact the future direction of the SCADA system include:
• The SCADA system must be highly reliable and accurate. • The system should leverage robust technology with room for growth. • The system should be based on industry standard, non-proprietary components. • The system should provide enabling technology for efficient operations, accessible from any location.
• The system should provide data accessibility for the needs of the utility, including planning, engineering, operations, and maintenance. This data access should not compromise the operational record data.
• The system should be developed for intuitive operational access. • The system should be integrated with other Utility business systems. • The system should provide for support for unattended operations with remote access. • The system should provide a framework to support future water optimization efforts, such as water supply and water loss.
These goals have been used in the development of a SCADA system vision and will be carried forward as overall goals of the improved SCADA system. 2 #7..

Supporting the vision will require the system to be:
• Reliable to ensure continuous operations to meet regulatory requirements. • Maintainable – through trained City staff, as well as through multiple sources of external maintenance support.
• Accessible to a variety of staff for operations, planning, and analysis purposes. • Flexible, as it will likely be constructed in phases over time and potentially through various capital projects. The system must be able to adapt to changes in technology, staff, and processes to take advantage of emerging technologies.
PROJECT GOALS
As discussed above, goals were developed during the SCADA Vision Workshop. An additional discussion of project goals was conducted during the project kickoff meeting.
Some of the goals were shared between the two workshops; however, the kickoff meeting goals did include some more specific goals. A consolidated list of project goals include:
• The SCADA system must be highly reliable and accurate. • The system should leverage robust technology with room for growth. • The system should be based on industry standard, non-proprietary systems. • The system should provide enabling technology for efficient operations, accessible from any location.
• The system should provide data accessibility for the needs of the utility, including planning, engineering, operations, and maintenance. This data access should not compromise record data.
• The system should be developed for intuitive operational access. • The system should be integrated with other Utility business systems. • The system should provide for support for unattended operations with remote access. • The system should provide a framework to support future water optimization efforts, such as water supply and water loss.

• The City should develop multiple “experts” or subject matter experts for critical system maintenance and data access. A desire was stated that the City be selfreliant for SCADA system support. • The City should have multiple avenues for 24/7 support of the entire SCADA system, including the SCADA hardware, SCADA software, telemetry systems, and networks. • The City should have multiple sources of supply for spare parts, including rapid replacement capabilities for repairs and replacement of spares. • The City should have easily accessible training on the updated SCADA system, including on-line training resources.
As the SCADA planning process proceeds, these project goals can be used as “checkpoints” to validate potential projects or system designs, making sure that any projects to be undertaken fit within these broad goals.

SECTION 3. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
REQUIREMENTS DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Following the site visits, an online survey was developed and provided to City staff for completion. The questions used during the survey were jointly developed between EMA and the City’s project team members. A total of 26 responses were gathered for the survey, and these responses were used to guide the requirements interview process. The survey was anonymous, so the respondent’s name/email address was not captured as part of the results. This was done to minimize the possibility someone might not answer the questions honestly. Appendix B shows the responses to the survey.
A series of interviews was held to capture SCADA system requirements. These interviews were conducted over two days. The interviews were structured as “mini-workshops” with multiple group members from each functional group. The interviews held were with the following groups:
• Water Distribution Operations and Water Electrical/SCADA, • Wastewater Electrical,
• Planning/Design (Engineering),
• Information Technology,
• Wastewater Collections, and
• Wastewater Plant Operations.
An additional meeting was scheduled with the Construction group, but the attendees were unable to make the meeting. Their input was provided via email. Input was also received from Laboratory staff concerning data interface between SCADA and Labworks.
The raw requirements were consolidated to eliminate duplicates, grouped into categories, and then prioritized.

PRIORITIZATION GUIDELINES
The prioritization process was conducted using the following broad categories:
• Critical: The requirement is critical to the operational mission of the Utility and must be addressed immediately.
• High: The requirement is essential to the operational mission of the Utility and must be addressed in the near future.
• Medium: Important requirement that does not directly impact the operational mission but may have operational, economic, or management benefits. • Low: This category describes “nice to have” features which may not be operationally critical.
REQUIREMENTS VALIDATION WORKSHOP
An initial set of summary requirements was provided to the City’s project team for review.
This summary listing of requirements also included an initial prioritization developed by EMA.
A Requirements Validation workshop was held to review and validate the requirements, as well as assigned priorities. Some adjustments were made during the workshop, and one conflicting requirement was eliminated. The Requirements Summary Listing, with notes to reflect updates gathered during the workshop is provided in Appendix C.

Alarm / Event Management
3.4.1.1 General Requirements
General requirements associated with the Alarm / Event portion of the SCADA system include:
A. Ability to sort and display alarms / events by priority Priority: High • The establishment of an alarm priority system will aid the operations staff in evaluating the necessary response to alarms.
• Once a priority system is in place, the SCADA system needs to be able to sort and/or filter the alarm display by priority.
• The existing SCADA system may have the capability, but it is not used on the existing application.
B. Improve remote notification of critical alarms / events Priority: High • Notification of critical alarms / events via email, text message to a cell phone or display on a portable hand-held device such as a tablet. • The use of hand-held devices (tablet device, cell phone) to inform operators and technicians of alarms and events was discussed as part of a general desire to provide enhanced SCADA operational information to Operation and Maintenance staff. This would be particularly useful for alarms originating during high flow / rain events.
• The existing SCADA system utilizes MISERTalk for alarm notification, but the capabilities of this alarm notification system are limited.
C. Define an effective alarm management strategy Priority: Medium • The development of a comprehensive alarm management strategy will enable City staff to proactively manage alarm and event systems, with periodic reviews to examine alarm frequencies and optimize the use of alarms in day-to-day operations.
• One path to an alarm/event management strategy may be to leverage a structured approach such as those developed by the ISA18 Committee (Instrument Signals and Alarms) and documented in standards such as ANSI/ISA-18.2 “Management of Alarm Systems in the Process Industries”. #7..

SCADA SYSTEM UPGRADE STUDY EMA, INC. | 10
D. Add intelligent (anticipatory) alarm capability Priority: Medium • Enhanced alarming capability, built on anticipatory alarm conditions, can aid operators in day-to-day operations, potentially noting abnormal situations prior to process upsets. Examples include:
o Monitoring a flowmeter downstream of a pump running and providing a no-flow alarm.
o Monitoring a chemical feed tank level when it is in-service, and if level does not decrease appropriately, provide a loss of feed alarm. • These types of alarms can be developed during process control system review activities, or during the initial development of process control narratives, and are typically implemented at the PLC / RTU level (rather than at the SCADA/HMI level).
• The City indicated that anticipatory alarming was already in place for the water portion of SCADA.
E. Provide a separate alarm screen showing high priority alarms. Priority: Low • The alarm summary screen shows all alarms, regardless of priority. A separate screen or pop-up showing only the high priority alarms will provide operations staff with a focused listing of alarms that require immediate action.
3.4.1.2 System Specific Requirements
System-specific requirements associated with the Alarm / Event portion of the SCADA system include:
A. Alarm management review for the Jennings Tertiary WWTF Priority: Critical • The Jennings Treatment Facility has a number of issues with alarming, including nuisance alarms, as well as alarms that are difficult to acknowledge and clear. A detailed review of the alarm subsystem for the Jennings SCADA system should be conducted to mitigate these issues.

G. Development of the interface from SCADA to Hydraulic Model Priority: Medium • This interface will allow the use of SCADA information to calibrate the hydraulic model. The calibrated model then can be better used for engineering studies, as well as system efficiency analysis.
H. Development of the interface to transfer from LIMS into SCADA Priority: Low • This interface can provide the ability to transmit laboratory analysis data from LIMS into SCADA so that this information can be displayed on SCADA screens for operations analysis.
• The laboratory analysis data can also be placed in the SCADA historian and can be included in operational reports.
I. Provide electronic delivery of reports Priority: Low • Consider electronic delivery (PDF, web page, etc.) in addition to printed copies.
J. Provide an Operator Blog or Shift Report capability within SCADA Priority: Low • The provision of a blog or shift report within SCADA will allow the operators to share accessible shift information.
3.4.2.2 System Specific Requirements
System specific requirements associated with the Data Management and Reporting portion of the SCADA system include:
A. Water Planning group needs access to SCADA historical information Priority: High • The existing reporting information is difficult to use and does not provide sufficient detail to support planning activities.

SCADA SYSTEM UPGRADE STUDY EMA, INC. | 13
HMI Functionality (Hardware and Software)
3.4.3.1 General Requirements
General requirements associated with the HMI Functionality portion of the SCADA system include:
A. Trending functionality Priority: High
• Operators need the ability to generate ad hoc trending. • Export of trend graphs into Excel and PDF files.
• Training on how to use trending.
B. Improve HMI responsiveness Priority: High
• The existing HMI has several areas where the system responsiveness can be improved. Some examples include:
o Screen Call-up Time: HMI screen navigation should allow a new screen to be called up in a manner that the complete graphic, including all process data be on-screen and updated within 1 second.
o Data Updates to HMI: As field data changes, the information needs to reach the HMI quickly. For in-plant data, the field data changes should reach the HMI within 5 seconds of the change in the field. Remote site data should be time/date stamped at the remote site, and this information conveyed to the HMI as quickly as possible through the existing telemetry system.
o Command Responsiveness: When a command (set point change, start/stop, etc.) is issued at the HMI, the command needs to be transmitted to the field device at the fastest possible speed. For in-plant control actions, the response back that the control action has been taken should be displayed on the HMI within five seconds of the field equipment reporting the status change. Remote site commands should be conveyed to the field device and the fastest possible speed, and remote site command verification should be conveyed to the HMI as quickly as possible through the existing telemetry system.
• This was especially noted at the Jennings plant, but the requirement applies to the entire system.
#7..

o Remote access should be read-only and highly secure.
• Portable HMI access to WWTP operators while in the field.
D. Improve HMI display of data quality flags Priority: High • Data quality flags generated from field devices and annotated in HMI database. • Configure HMI to utilize data quality flags to annotate equipment with loss of communications, bad data, etc.
E. Provide HMI accessibility for advanced setpoints Priority: High • Currently not all advanced setpoints, such as well cluster control setpoints, are available for display on the HMI, and cannot be modified by operators. • As this requirement is implemented, SCADA access controls can be implemented to limit (by operator login) who can modify setpoints.
F. Provide access to system diagnostic information on the HMI Priority: High • Diagnostic information is readily available from connected PLCs and RTUs, as well as network and telemetry communications equipment. • This information should be brought into the SCADA/HMI software and provided to operators and maintenance staff.
G. Provide capability for Advanced Operator Help Priority: Medium • Advanced operator help can provide access to items such as process control narratives, O&M manuals, and operating instructions. This help system is typically made available via a separate web-based database which can be linked to control popups or equipment faceplates.
• The SCADA system must provide the functionality to reach the web-enabled database, but development of the information stored in the database would be done separate from the SCADA system development.
H. Implement High Performance HMI Techniques in SCADA Upgrade Priority: Medium • High Performance HMI techniques seek to provide an operator a greater “situational awareness” through improved display of critical operational parameters.
• These HMI techniques can be implemented in conjunction with traditional process flow graphics.

#7..
- 149 -
SCADA SYSTEM UPGRADE STUDY EMA, INC. | 20
o PLCs
o Telemetry Systems
B. Define SCADA component redundancy guidelines Priority: High • The new SCADA system should have “Hot Standby” redundancy at the server level, with automatic failover from the primary to backup server. This needs to be implemented at the data acquisition server level as well as the thin client server (terminal server or web server) level.
• In the event of a failover from the Primary to Backup server, the Operator Workstation connections must automatically reconnect to the active (hot) server. • Geographic separation of SCADA servers should be considered. • Ensure adequate alarming is present to notify SCADA support team in the event of a single component failure.
• Redundancy guidelines should include:
o Network redundancy (paths and components).
o PLC redundancy considerations.
o Use of Operator Interface Terminals independent of SCADA for critical process areas.
C. Develop Overall SCADA System Architecture Priority: High • An overall architecture for the future SCADA system needs to be developed to address:
o Plant Control System (PCS) architecture and Remote Site SCADA architecture. Consideration should be given to establishing a PCS system to monitor and control the Jennings and Sutter treatment plants (consolidated system) and potentially separate remote site SCADA systems (monitoring remote wastewater systems and water systems). o Data Exchange and interface between systems.
o System architecture should be compliant with established water / wastewater industry standards and practices.
o A web-based monitoring (read only) of SCADA real-time and historical data for non-operations use. The web-based system would reside in a DMZ or other location outside the plant firewalls, and would be externally available (to City of Modesto staff).
o Provide capability for off-plant monitoring (no control) by operation staff. o Replication of SCADA operational historian to DMZ for City of Modesto general use (outside the plant firewall).

#7..
- 151 -
SCADA SYSTEM UPGRADE STUDY EMA, INC. | 22
• Consideration should also be given to remote site CCTV. Decisions to deploy CCTV to remote sites will also require higher throughput telemetry communications.
• In-Plant CCTV can be IP-based but should be carried on a separate network from the SCADA systems.
• CCTV monitoring can be via a separate system, or images can be incorporated into HMI screens.
3.4.8.2 System Specific Requirements
System specific requirements associated with the SCADA system architecture portion of the SCADA system include:
A. Expand SCADA Monitoring Priority: Medium
• Some small water sites in Turlock and Ceres are not monitored with SCADA.
B. Separate Water SCADA into an Independent System Priority: N/A • A request was voiced to separate the Water portion of the overall SCADA system into an independent system, being controlled by the Water group. o The general reasons discussed for separating the SCADA systems included 1) issues with “screamer radios” which disable portions of the water system monitoring and control, 2) a lack of alignment between Water and Wastewater I&C groups for maintenance and upgrades of the field RTUs, 3) concerns with non-water CoM staff having access to water related control setpoints, and 4) a desire to have control over the system within the Water operations group. Some of the reasons provided may be addressed by means of security profiles, access to functions and policy. o To establish an independent SCADA system would require a separate telemetry communications infrastructure system, a separate set of SCADA servers, separate communications switching and routing equipment, separate security and firewall, and a separate team to provide complete SCADA support.
o There are no technology barriers to establishing a separate SCADA system. The challenges entailed in having separate systems include increased costs for the separate SCADA system, increased time, cost and effort related to system deployment, support, as well as ongoing training, additional licensing requirements, additional data storage and annual support maintenance.
o For the purposes of this study, a detailed analysis of this requirement was not conducted, however this requirement can be revisited during the development of the future system architecture, to be completed as part of the completion of the SCADA Master Plan.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
General requirement categories used to group the requirements include:
• Control Philosophy,
• Cybersecurity,
• Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity,
• Documentation,
• System Maintenance and Service Level Expectations,
• Training, and
• Vision and Strategy.
A detailed discussion of the requirements developed for each category is provided in this section.
Control Philosophy
3.5.1.1 General Requirements
General requirements associated with the control philosophy of the SCADA system include:
A. Evaluate critical process areas for control redundancy Priority: High • Control redundancy may be redundant PLCs, or backup controls separate from field controller.
• Control redundancy adds complexity to the system, the use of redundant PLCs/RTUs should be limited to only the most critical of process areas.
B. Modify lift station control architecture for remote control capability Priority: High • Modifying the control architecture for remote control capability will provide flexibility for future optimization efforts.
• Backup local controls at the lift station can be used if concerns exist over RTU failures.
#7..

SCADA SYSTEM UPGRADE STUDY EMA, INC. | 24
Cybersecurity Considerations
3.5.2.1 General Requirements
General requirements associated with SCADA system cybersecurity include:
A. Develop SCADA specific cybersecurity standards and procedures Priority: High B. Evaluate remote access to packaged control systems Priority: High • Vendors will request remote access to packaged systems for monitoring and troubleshooting. Examples include membrane systems, UV systems, and ozone systems.
• If the City decides to grant this access, specific procedures need to be developed to manage and control this access.
Disaster Recover / Business Continuity
General requirements associated with SCADA system disaster recovery / business continuity include:
A. Backup/restore of PLC/RTU Programs Priority: Medium
• At a minimum, policies and procedures should be developed for periodic backup of PLC and RTU configuration onto network media.
• A system to provide automatic backup and restoration for PLC programs should be considered. In these PLC-specific change management systems, if program modifications are made to a PLC, the most current code would automatically be backed up into a “document management” style system specific for PLC code.
This system can then be used to manage future program changes. The system should also be able to download the PLC program for a newly replaced CPU from the PLC program repository.
B. Backup/restore of SCADA/HMI configuration Priority: Medium • An often-overlooked component of backing up critical programs is the configuration parameters for the HMI system. The HMI configuration needs to be periodically backed up to allow for restoration in the event of a system failure. • Periodic testing of the restoration of the SCADA system should be performed, utilizing a separate development sandbox.
• There are software program systems which are specifically designed to backup and provide change management capabilities for SCADA/HMI systems (similar to the PLC systems discussed above). Most of these systems are closely tied to the SCADA system software vendor, although there are some which are vendor software independent, supporting multiple systems. This type of system should also be considered.

• Maintenance staff need ready access to record (as-built) drawings of all components of the SCADA system.
• Consider stronger contractual language regarding SCADA system documentation delivery, such as requiring documentation delivery prior to site acceptance testing, and specific payment items associated with system documentation.
B. Electronic O&M repository Priority: Low
• Consider the use of an electronic O&M system to store and manage system documentation.
• This electronic O&M can then deliver documentation electronically (iPad, tablet, etc.) when desired, and can be incorporated into “Operator Help” systems.
System Maintenance and Service Level Expectations
General requirements associated with SCADA system maintenance and service level expectations include:
A. SCADA system support Priority: Critical
• Need better support for overall system, 24/7 coverage. Multiple avenues for support would be preferable, including:
o SCADA Software,
o PLC/RTUs,
o Telemetry, and
o Networking.
B. Improve availability of spare parts Priority: High
• Develop multiple sources of supply for spares.
• Rapid replacement of consumed spares and repaired parts.

SCADA SYSTEM UPGRADE STUDY EMA, INC. | 26
Training Considerations
General requirements associated with SCADA system training include:
A. Adequate training Priority: High
• Whether the SCADA system remains in place, is upgraded, or replaced, consideration needs to be given to providing new and/or refresher training. • Vendor / System Integrator should develop training plans, based on input from CoM staff.
B. Modular training Priority: Medium
• Training is often provided during the deployment of a new SCADA system, and sometimes this training is recorded for future use. This video is often of limited use for future training.
• Development of a professional modular training system will be more useful for training of new staff members.
C. Multiple training sources Priority: Medium
• During the selection of a new or upgraded SCADA system, evaluate and consider whether training is available from multiple sources.
• On-line training, on-demand training, and “free” training (such as YouTube videos) should be considered.
• Training on all levels of the SCADA system should be considered (PLCs, RTUs, Telemetry, Networks, SCADA software, etc.).
Vision and Strategy
General requirements associated with the vision and strategy of the SCADA system include:
A. Maintain Regulatory Compliance Priority: Critical
• Compliance with the City’s regulatory requirements must be maintained throughout the SCADA system upgrade and/or replacement. This will require careful planning of cutovers and outage periods, both for the SCADA upgrade as well as PLC and RTU upgrades.

SECTION 4. FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES
LEVERAGING SCADA FOR MAINTENANCE
The SCADA system does not currently develop or log maintenance related data. This data routinely includes pump runtimes, pump starts, and can also include energy consumption, pump cycle times, etc. Once this information is gathered in SCADA, it can be used to schedule or manage maintenance activities.
Discussions during interviews and workshops noted that some of the groups within the Utilities Department do not use CMMS for maintenance scheduling and tracking.
LOGGING OF WATER QUALITY SAMPLES
Field operators routinely take water quality samples; however, these samples are manually documented on log sheets, and are not readily accessible for data analysis and tracking.
Mobile technology should be considered to streamline the logging and reporting of these samples.
OPERATIONAL OPTIMIZATION – WATER DISTRIBUTION
Water Distribution operators utilize SCADA for routine operation of the wells and water distribution system, however, there are opportunities to leverage SCADA to enhance the operation of the system. The areas for enhancement can include:
• Active management of water age and tank turnover to maintain water quality. • Well pumping optimization, including aquifer level monitoring. • Enhanced automatic operation of the system to manage energy consumption and water quality.
OPERATIONAL OPTIMIZATION – WASTEWATER COLLECTIONS
The majority of the pumping stations in the wastewater collections system are controlled locally at the station, with no ability to remotely adjust control parameters. Changing the control architecture at the stations sites to allow remote supervisory control will allow more flexibility for future operations, including:
• Implementation of area-wide wet weather optimization strategies. • Management of collections system to maximize storage or optimize flow to treatment plants.

ENHANCED OPERATIONS – WASTEWATER TREATMENT
The wastewater treatment facilities are not fully monitored and / or controlled from the SCADA system. Additionally, based on the discussions in the workshops, it appears there are opportunities to leverage the SCADA system to implement enhanced automatic controls within the facilities.
The process of enhancing automatic controls can begin with a series of process automation workshops, where high level operating procedures can be developed. Once the operating procedures are defined, more detailed process control narratives (PCNs) would be developed, then the PCNs used to enhance the programming in the PLCs and SCADA system.
DATA INTEGRATION
One of the most frequently discussed topics throughout the project was leveraging SCADA data for planning and analysis. Many of the discussions included how to leverage SCADA data in conjunction with other City systems, including maintenance and laboratory systems.
A structured planning process to determine the detailed needs for data integration can further define the path forward for data integration and the associated benefits of this integration.
The key systems / areas for data integration with SCADA include:
• Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) integration • Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) integration • Hydraulic Model
• Future Water Quality Model
• Future AMI Data Integration

SECTION 5. SCADA MAINTENANCE STAFFING AND WORKFLOW
This section is intended to capture the staffing analysis discussions with regards to the maintenance of the future SCADA systems.
FUTURE SCADA MAINTENANCE MODEL
Maintaining a modern SCADA system requires a combination of technical skills and systemspecific training. An organization like the City of Modesto would be well served to maintain a single hardware/software platform for the SCADA system or systems in use. In this same manner, having a single, centralized SCADA maintenance organization for the key system components is a best practice. A centralized approach to maintenance will provide a consistency of approach for system modifications, provide flexibility to support multiple operational groups, and allow the use of a managed governance process for system changes.
We recognize that each operational group may leverage SCADA differently, and to some degree there is a desire to “control the destiny” of the operational group’s SCADA system. As such, it is reasonable to consider having separate groups for the maintenance of the field components of the SCADA system.
The recommendation for the future SCADA maintenance organization is that it be maintained in a semi-centralized maintenance organization, as illustrated in Figure 5-1. 5 #7..

SCADA SYSTEM UPGRADE STUDY EMA, INC. | 31
The centralized SCADA support group should continue to leverage City IT resources to provide additional support for the SCADA system. This most commonly takes the form of “behind the scenes” support by City IT staff to the SCADA/IT group in areas such as database administration, cybersecurity, networking, and database administration.
The concept of a centralized SCADA support group works best when this group is not housed within one of the operational groups (Water Operations or Wastewater Options). Typical SCADA maintenance groups of this type are housed in Engineering or IT departments of other utilities.
Since the City IT group has already taken steps to provide resources for SCADA support and maintenance, it makes sense to leave this group in the City IT group.
OPERATIONAL GROUP SCADA SUPPORT
Each operational group has a staff of I&C technicians. These existing groups should be maintained, with maintenance and support responsibilities for items such as:
• Field instrument maintenance, calibration and repair, • RTU programming modifications,
• RTU preventive maintenance,
• RTU repairs and upgrades,
• Troubleshooting and upgrade of remote site telemetry radios, • In-Plant PLC preventive maintenance,
• In-Plant PLC repairs and upgrades, and
• In-Plant PLC programming modifications.

INTRODUCTION
This Scope of Work covers planning, design, and construction for the City of Modesto SCADA System Upgrade Project. The project will be performed in a phased approach, with a preconstruction phase followed by construction. The preconstruction phase will ultimately result in a final scope for construction and Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the construction phase. Planning and most of the design for the project are expected to be covered in the preconstruction phase.
This Scope speaks principally to the preconstruction phase scope and deliverables. The construction phase scope and deliverables will be determined and optimized in the course of the preconstruction work.
DELIVERABLES
Refer to accompanying Table 1 - Deliverables.
TASK 1 – PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND PLANNING
Project Management of the Preconstruction Phase
Plan, manage, and track the preconstruction phase work, including the following:
Lay out, coordinate, and manage the work.
Develop preconstruction phase Work Plan (also referred to as “Project Management Plan and Schedule”).
Prepare Project Execution Plan, including Emergency Response Plan, to the extent applicable to the preconstruction phase.
Prepare Quality Management Procedures.
Prepare Submittal Procedures.
Prepare Project Safety Plan (in outline form at this phase of the project). Prepare Project Documentation Plan.
Prepare Procurement Buyout Plan.
Prepare and submit schedule, update monthly.
Prepare monthly status reports to accompany invoicing. Allow for telephone check ins, weekly, at 1 hour each for coordination, scheduling, and other needs.
Allow for e-mail correspondence and telephone calls.
Telstar will facilitate partnering sessions approximately once per quarter during the design phase of the project using a third-party partnering facilitator. These sessions will continue through the construction phase of the project at a determined interval. The kickoff partnering session will be scheduled a couple of months after the project kickoff meeting, and three (3) ongoing partnering sessions will follow quarterly. The sessions will be held at the City’s conference room facility, and food/refreshments will be provided by Telstar.

Construction Management Plan
Develop an outline for Construction Management Plan, late in the preconstruction process.
TASK 2 – DESIGN FIELD INVESTIGATIONS
This Task covers design field investigations in support of design work. Additional final field investigations will be performed by Telstar staff during the construction phase of the project to facilitate creation of the detailed shop drawings and loop diagrams. The preconstruction investigation philosophy will be to optimize the work as it progresses, within the estimated overall allowance. It is expected that some field investigations will be needed to close certain gaps between 85% (preconstruction) and 100% (construction phase), design deliverables, and those follow-on investigations are not included in this Scope. Those follow-on investigations will be rolled into the construction phase scope.
The field investigations estimate assumes that the City will provide an electrician to provide site access and open control and electrical enclosures for Telstar/ArcSine engineers. It is expected that escorted access will typically be available as follows:
4 - 5 days per week
o 2 days water
o 2 days wastewater
Investigations and field testing for radio communications (principally by Telstar), will be coordinated with remote site investigations (principally by ArcSine), to fit the investigation needs with the availability of City staff. For design investigations, for work planning purposes it is assumed that 2 weeks on, 1 week off, will comprise the pace. The 1 week off will allow for preparations and regrouping for the design investigation team, and will allow for accompanied investigations for radio field investigations also.
Field investigations associated with radio design are covered in Task 5. The work planning process at the beginning of the project and ongoing coordination, will develop the field investigation schedule expectations.
TASK 3 – WORKSHOPS
General
This Task covers structured workshops, with preparations and advance submissions of materials, definition of the goals and objectives, and targeted audiences. The workshop series will be tailored and adapted as the work progresses, with this Scope providing the initial framework. The workshop topics here are preliminary, subject to revision.
Each workshop is expected to be approximately 3 to 4 hours in length.

Table Notes:
1. The Control Panel and PLC Technical Details workshop will address panel construction, components, terminations, signal levels, relaying, uninterruptible power, standard products, etc.
Also included will be decisions for motor starters, power distribution, lights/service receptacles, etc., panel materials of construction, and ventilation/air conditioning. The purpose is to work through the preferences and details, in a workshop environment.
2. See Task 4 for the description of the standards for related projects objectives (ID 19 above). This workshop will identify the projects, applicable topics, and resolve the best course of action.
TASK 4 – STANDARDS
This project is to result in standardized approaches, with selected standards documents. To the extent practical, standards should be “by example,” such as for graphical screens, with narratives accompanying the examples. PLC programming similarly can be partially by example, with narratives accompanying examples.
This Scope includes the following work on standards:
SCADA/HMI Configuration Standards
Develop outline standards for HMI screens and underlying SCADA concepts. As practical, cover standards “by example,” with screens and other work products. It is anticipated that this standard will be further developed/refined during the construction phase, during which time systems will be developed and decisions are refined.
Develop draft, submit, conduct workshops (Task 3).

provide excerpts of prior project Work Products as examples. Will discuss topics including structure, commenting, tagnaming, use of standard vs City-specific function blocks, etc., visualization of programming in the graphical development environment and the consequences of layout on visibility, and other subjects of interest to developers and users.
New programming standards will be developed based on Telstar and City standards. The development of new programming standards does not include preparation of new programming code and blocks.
This code will be written in later phases of the project.
A workshop will be held to review the developed PLC programming standards and solicit City staff input on the documents. The results of the PLC programming standards workshop will be documented into a summary Technical Memorandum and submitted with the final developed standards.
Control Panel Standards
This Task consists of developing control panel standards including standard Bill of Materials and Panel Drawings. A standard sample bill of materials will be developed based on Telstar standards and City input. Basic materials will be selected for use across the project for troubleshooting and maintenance consistency. Standard control panel drawings will be developed following Telstar and ISA standards, with City input.
A workshop will be held to review the developed control panel standards and solicit City staff input on the documents. The results of the control panel standards workshop will be documented into a summary Technical Memorandum and submitted with the final developed standards.
Loop Drawing Standards
This Task consists of developing loop drawing standards. Standard loop drawings will be developed following Telstar and ISA standards, with City input.
A workshop will be held to review the developed loop drawing standards and solicit City staff input on the documents. This workshop may be combined with the control panel standards workshop. The results of the loop drawing workshop will be documented into a summary Technical Memorandum and submitted with the final developed standards.
Design Standards
With reliance on standard drawings, bills of materials, draft specifications, develop a summary design standard. This document will comprise a roadmap to the major decisions, particularly for materials, and workmanship. The principal goal is to achieve SCADA uniformity between sties, and projects in important areas.

forms will be developed and provided for City review. City comments will be incorporated into the test plan outline and example test forms.
TASK 5 – RADIO SYSTEM EVALUATION
Introduction
The project goal is to replace the existing radio system, in conjunction with this project’s PLC/RTU and SCADA work at the remote sites and treatment plants. Selecting the optimal approach involves complex tradeoffs between cost, redundancy and reliability, risks, and performance. The evaluation process will arm the project team with the information needed to make well-informed decisions which meet or exceed baseline project objectives, but also make sense in terms of cost and other measures.
The evaluation process will use information and tools, including the following:
Existing drawings
Communication System block diagrams
Prior work by the City and its consultants which looked at alternatives Acquiring information on real-world performance of today’s system Computer-based modeling
Existing and available radio frequencies
Knowledge of existing communications technologies and their feasibility, costs, performance, and other factors
Field studies
Criteria Setting
We will work with City staff to define criteria, which will consist of “must do,” non-negotiable criteria, and also “desired” criteria. The must do criteria constitute the hard baseline limits, and the evaluation process is expected to lead to candidate solutions which not only meet the must do criteria, but also address many of the desired items, with thoughtful consideration for the tradeoffs, including costs.
For performance (polling times, response to command times) the existing system provides a useful baseline. These times can be quantified, and discussed in terms of the user experience as well as process objectives and data history/troubleshooting.
Criteria will be developed in the course of the work, and will likely include the following:
System requirements (e.g., sites that must communicate peer-to-peer). Polling response times required.
#7..
- 170 -
Telstar Instruments and ArcSine engineering 8
Backup Communication path requirements.
Equipment redundancy and failover requirements.
Emergency preparedness requirements.
Cybersecurity requirements.
Computer Modeling
With the benefit of the preparatory work above, we will develop/analyze links, options and permutations using computer modeling. After the model is complete, a field-testing regimen will be developed to resolve the unknowns relevant to decision-making. It is expected that modeling and testing will be an iterative process.
Field Radio Path Surveys
We will visit up to 25% of existing sites to collect the following information. (If additional sites are required to be visited and agreed upon with the team, it will require a contract amendment). Current RSSI and SNR data for each path.
Line sweeps of the existing RF transmission lines and antennas to look for bad or underperforming equipment (optional).
Testing of existing radio transmitter output power (optional). Existing data load.
Data transmission speed and success percentage, and using a protocol analyzer, how frequently retries occur.
Refer to Task 2 – Design Field Investigations, for discussion on availability of City staff to support access to panels and enclosures. The radio field work will, in many cases, not require City accompaniment. The proposed design field investigations intervals will allow for accompanied radio investigations every third week, the burden of which is projected to be 1 to 3 days of City oversight, depending on circumstances.
Perform secondary radio path field surveys for many proposed radio paths to verify modeled system architecture using Telstar’s Antenna Mast Trailer. Tests will be performed using real payload data.
Alternatives
Consider alternate communication technologies: Evaluate viable technology alternatives for remote sites based on site communication requirement.
MAS Master radio alternative location(s)
Other frequencies

Report
Prepare a Communications Study Report identifying alternatives explored and stating recommendations for hardware improvements to existing network, network layout and hardware requirements for alternative data collection network (such as wireless Ethernet) if recommended, and system reliability improvements. We will include draft system architecture diagrams, with recommended locations for repeater systems (as needed), antenna types, and tower heights for each of the stations studied, as well as a priority list for completion of recommended improvements and estimated cost for each. We will also include the costs for frequency coordination and FCC licenses if needed.
TASK 6 – CYBER SECURITY
Cyber Security efforts during the preconstruction phase of this project will consist of the following tasks.

TASK 7 – 30% DESIGN
Introduction
Refer to Table 2 Site/Unit Process Count. This summary, references in the Solicitation as summarized in Table 1 Deliverables, and observations during the field visits, were the basis of the preliminary sheet list in Table 3 Drawing Deliverables. During the preconstruction phase (30%/60%/85% designs) do the following:
Investigate all sites/unit processes where RTU changeouts are occurring. Develop documentation, including typicals where appropriate, which will guide the project to a well-defined construction phase scope and GMP.
#7..
- 172 -
Telstar Instruments and ArcSine engineering 10
As part of developing the GMP and its scope, evaluate the extent to which the typicals need to be expanded during the construction phase. We believe that in many cases, the typicals will suffice, with the construction phase shop drawings covering the detail.
As noted elsewhere in this Scope, the field investigations will be tailored to the levels of effort included in this preconstruction phase work. It is expected that further investigations will be needed as part of the construction phase design work, deliverables, and GMP development will allow for reasonable contingencies arising from the later investigations anticipated.
Preliminary Drawing List And Submittal Schedule
Refer to Table 3 for a list of drawings with anticipated delivery milestones.
The P&ID’s drawing count as presently scoped does not include P&ID’s for vendor-furnished packages, nor P&ID’s for Plan unit processes where the RTU’s are not being replaced. This drawing count represents an optimized list.
A preliminary specifications list follows. It is expected that not all sections will be required, or they can be abbreviated, as some items can be described in Bills of Materials. (It is not the intent to duplicate information in multiple documents.)
Develop as-is Control Descriptions for the remote sites.
Preliminary Specification List And Submittal Schedule
Refer to Table 4 for a preliminary specifications list and identification of the principal authors of each.

Each review meeting is covered in Task 10.
Approach To Alternatives
In the course of the design work above, contemplate project implementation alternatives. These alternatives will address overall SCADA architecture(s), communications/network alternatives, and overlay considerations for cost, performance, and constructability. Do the following:
Review prior work by others
Brainstorm in-house
#7..
- 173 -
Telstar Instruments and ArcSine engineering 11
Prepare for and conduct workshops (Task 3)
Summarize the chosen approach in a brief Technical Memorandum with bullets noting what was not chosen
This effort is not intended to constitute a complete written treatment of all alternatives considered, but only illustrate the general path the team took to arrive at the conclusions.
Develop Maintenance of Operations Plans
This work item covers development of preliminary plans for maintaining operations of the Plants and remote sites during construction. The plans will coordinate with sequencing drawings which are part of the design package, and will also include references to the testing methodology, for which this preconstruction scope includes resources for planning-level deliverables. The preliminary maintenance of operation plans will illustrate the overall concepts for keeping systems operational, but will not describe the steps in detail. The plans will be suitable for a general review of methodology, which will provide a basis for agreeing on the planning detail required during the construction phase, the level of effort to develop that detail, and the workload/levels of effort which can be expected to execute the construction period work in accordance with the proposed methodology. The preliminary plans will identify categories of outages and general durations, and temporary provisions, and City support needed to support sequencing and outages.
SCADA Network Design Considerations
The workshop series, design development, and design review meetings with VE emphasis will guide project decisions, including those for SCADA network architecture. The following concepts will be considered in field investigations, and will be brought forth during workshops:
1. Assess the communication link between Jennings Road facility and Sutter facility and consider redundant communication paths with cyber-security measures.
2. In the event of communication failure between Jennings and Sutter, consider store and forward SCADA model/AOS server at the Sutter facility to avoid loss of data, and a provision to monitor/control the operation locally at the Sutter facility.
3. Contemplate virtual environment with Hardware redundancy, High Availability and Disaster Recovery VSan solutions.
4. Consider a single cluster consolidated system, which would offer potential advantages for cost, maintenance, and security. Cluster is virtualization terminology which represents a group of servers/hosts that can share resources such as memory, CPU and data storage. Clusters provide flexible and dynamic ways to organize the OS resources under single VCenter management.
5. Consider VSAN as an added VMware software-defined storage solution. Doing so provides centralized visibility, simplified and efficient management at scale, and extensibility across the hybrid cloud—all from a single console. VMware vCenter Server is advanced server management software that provides a centralized platform for controlling VMware vSphere environments, with an automated virtual infrastructure across the hybrid cloud. #7..
- 174 -
Telstar Instruments and ArcSine engineering 12
6. Consider redundant alarm dialer system solution with secure mobile app notifications.
7. Consider redundant Tier 2 Historian with Enterprise solution for business application.
8. Consider addition of MAS (Master) for better performance, along with other performancerelated considerations.
9. Consider site grouping with multiple radio paths to achieve acceptable overall performance.
Consider cost and time-criticality performance tradeoffs, and relative importance of the data transmitted.
TASK 8 – 60% DESIGN
Similar to 30% design.
Data Migration Plan
Develop a preliminary data migration plan, as part of setting expectations for overall construction sequencing and timing, as well as establishing the construction phase level of effort for data migration.
The following will be considered:
1. The extent to which “old” data are to be accessible from “new” SCADA.
2. Tagging conventions, and coexistence of old and new data.
3. Approach to reporting across the conversion time boundaries.
4. Prioritization of certain information.
5. Technical considerations.
6. Optional tradeoffs, with an eye towards cost/benefit.
The allowance for HSQ’s support will be used to obtain their consultation during the evaluation process.
In addition, allow 40 person-hours as a placeholder for running a trial conversion, possibly with HSQ’s assistance, to validate the approach.
A final, complete data migration plan will be developed during the construction phase, based on the preconstruction conditions.
TASK 9 – 85% DESIGN
Similar to 60% design.
Report Definition
For clarity in the GMP basis, as part of the 85% design, develop Control Strategies covering reports.
Identify each report, variables to be included, and special cases which may require handling within the PLC or at reporting level.
For example, additional/conditioned variables may be warranted within the PLC, such as averages, process flow statuses (discharge, recycling, etc.), blanking intervals to address starting averaging and min./max. calculations, etc.

Telstar Instruments and ArcSine engineering 13
At the predesign level it is not expected to detail everything, but to provide adequate definition for the quantities of reports and the general complexities. Perform the following:
Obtain existing reports and Permits
Review
Interview staff
Assess variables/tags in use
Develop preliminary requirements
Address during workshops (Task 3)
Write preliminary Control Strategies
Submit with 85%
Receive comments
Capture the necessary adaptations (but do not revise and resubmit – revisions and detail will follow during the construction phase).
TASK 10 – KICKOFF AND DESIGN REVIEW MEETINGS
Allow for 1 kickoff meeting and 3 design review meetings. Include preparation and meeting minutes.
TASK 11 – INTERIM DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
The purpose of this Task is to achieve fidelity/uniformity across projects. Ultimately, the City will need a published set of requirements, although such requirements might be best comprised as standards by example plus narratives.
This Task is to help address the short-term needs, and allow the rest of the SCADA work to “catch up” so the optimal standards package can be developed during the construction phase.
During scoping/negotiation exchanges, it was acknowledged that the other projects should not be held up, and also that the decisions under this SCADA project should not be rushed. The estimate includes allowances for developing written preliminary standards, or marking up others’ Work Products with suggestions, or some other combination of work which best fits the City’s needs.
TASK 12 – COST ESTIMATING AND OPTIMIZATIONS
Cost Estimating Basis (Project Cost Model)
This Proposal includes references to cost estimating methodology.
Formulate a written position based on these concepts, including estimating approaches for:
Escalation
Market uncertainties
Labor cost uncertainties
Unknowns due to level of design completion

Provide estimates at 30%, 60%, 85%.
GMP estimating is covered in Task 12.
Estimates will comply with the standards established by the Association for the Advancement of Cost Estimating (AACE) International and the Control System Integrators Association (CSIA) for SCADA Upgrade projects. We expect our cost estimates for the initial design phases of the project to fall into the Class 4 category defined by AACE International. As the scope of the construction project is better defined through further design, our cost estimate accuracy will be categorized as Level 3 and then Level 2, followed by the final GMP cost. The AACE International cost estimate classifications give guidance for the City on the level of contingency that should be maintained for the project. This recommended contingency level is reduced as the scope of the construction project is better defined and the cost estimates become more accurate.
Cash Flow Forecasts
As part of the Work Plan (Task 1), provide a preliminary cash flow forecast for the preconstruction phase.
With each submittal provide a cash flow forecast for construction.
Value Engineering
Conduct virtual meetings to discuss (during design) design approaches in progress, alternatives, constructability and cost consequences. Allow 2 hours per meeting plus (minimal) preparation. Allow for 6 meetings.
With each submittal, provide an internally-generated value-engineering assessment. #7..

INTRODUCTION
This Scope of Work covers planning, design, and construction for the City of Modesto SCADA System Upgrade Project. The project will be performed in a phased approach, with a preconstruction phase followed by construction. The preconstruction phase will ultimately result in a final scope for construction and Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the construction phase. Planning and most of the design for the project are expected to be covered in the preconstruction phase.
This Scope speaks principally to the preconstruction phase scope and deliverables. The construction phase scope and deliverables will be determined and optimized in the course of the preconstruction work.
DELIVERABLES
Refer to accompanying Table 1 - Deliverables.
TASK 1 – PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND PLANNING
Project Management of the Preconstruction Phase
Plan, manage, and track the preconstruction phase work, including the following:
❖ Lay out, coordinate, and manage the work.
❖ Develop preconstruction phase Work Plan (also referred to as “Project Management Plan and Schedule”).
❖ Prepare Project Execution Plan, including Emergency Response Plan, to the extent applicable to the preconstruction phase.
❖ Prepare Quality Management Procedures.
❖ Prepare Submittal Procedures.
❖ Prepare Project Safety Plan (in outline form at this phase of the project). ❖ Prepare Project Documentation Plan.
❖ Prepare Procurement Buyout Plan.
❖ Prepare and submit schedule, update monthly.
❖ Prepare monthly status reports to accompany invoicing. ❖ Allow for telephone check ins, weekly, at 1 hour each for coordination, scheduling, and other needs.
❖ Allow for e-mail correspondence and telephone calls.
Telstar will facilitate partnering sessions approximately once per quarter during the design phase of the project using a third-party partnering facilitator. These sessions will continue through the construction phase of the project at a determined interval. The kickoff partnering session will be scheduled a couple of months after the project kickoff meeting, and three (3) ongoing partnering sessions will follow quarterly. The sessions will be held at the City’s conference room facility, and food/refreshments will be provided by Telstar.

Telstar Instruments and ArcSine engineering 3
Construction Management Plan
Develop an outline for Construction Management Plan, late in the preconstruction process.
TASK 2 – DESIGN FIELD INVESTIGATIONS
This Task covers design field investigations in support of design work. Additional final field investigations will be performed by Telstar staff during the construction phase of the project to facilitate creation of the detailed shop drawings and loop diagrams. The preconstruction investigation philosophy will be to optimize the work as it progresses, within the estimated overall allowance. It is expected that some field investigations will be needed to close certain gaps between 85% (preconstruction) and 100% (construction phase), design deliverables, and those follow-on investigations are not included in this Scope. Those follow-on investigations will be rolled into the construction phase scope.
The field investigations estimate assumes that the City will provide an electrician to provide site access and open control and electrical enclosures for Telstar/ArcSine engineers. It is expected that escorted access will typically be available as follows:
• 4 - 5 days per week
o 2 days water
o 2 days wastewater
Investigations and field testing for radio communications (principally by Telstar), will be coordinated with remote site investigations (principally by ArcSine), to fit the investigation needs with the availability of City staff. For design investigations, for work planning purposes it is assumed that 2 weeks on, 1 week off, will comprise the pace. The 1 week off will allow for preparations and regrouping for the design investigation team, and will allow for accompanied investigations for radio field investigations also.
Field investigations associated with radio design are covered in Task 5. The work planning process at the beginning of the project and ongoing coordination, will develop the field investigation schedule expectations.
TASK 3 – WORKSHOPS
General
This Task covers structured workshops, with preparations and advance submissions of materials, definition of the goals and objectives, and targeted audiences. The workshop series will be tailored and adapted as the work progresses, with this Scope providing the initial framework. The workshop topics here are preliminary, subject to revision.
Each workshop is expected to be approximately 3 to 4 hours in length.

Table Notes:
1. The Control Panel and PLC Technical Details workshop will address panel construction, components, terminations, signal levels, relaying, uninterruptible power, standard products, etc.
Also included will be decisions for motor starters, power distribution, lights/service receptacles, etc., panel materials of construction, and ventilation/air conditioning. The purpose is to work through the preferences and details, in a workshop environment.
2. See Task 4 for the description of the standards for related projects objectives (ID 19 above). This workshop will identify the projects, applicable topics, and resolve the best course of action.
TASK 4 – STANDARDS
This project is to result in standardized approaches, with selected standards documents. To the extent practical, standards should be “by example,” such as for graphical screens, with narratives accompanying the examples. PLC programming similarly can be partially by example, with narratives accompanying examples.
This Scope includes the following work on standards:
SCADA/HMI Configuration Standards
Develop outline standards for HMI screens and underlying SCADA concepts. As practical, cover standards “by example,” with screens and other work products. It is anticipated that this standard will be further developed/refined during the construction phase, during which time systems will be developed and decisions are refined.
Develop draft, submit, conduct workshops (Task 3).
Tagging And Identification
This work item starts with an inventory of existing systems in use, and will ultimately result in preliminary standards for tagging and identification.
❖ Investigations and offline assessments (this Task).
❖ Workshop (Task 3).
❖ Internal review and submit.
❖ Outline a Technical Memorandum.
❖ Workshop (Task 3).
❖ Expand Technical Memorandum.
❖ Develop preliminary standards.
❖ Internally review. Submit.
❖ Receive comments, make a punchlist for later incorporation during the Construction Phase.

Telstar Instruments and ArcSine engineering 6
provide excerpts of prior project Work Products as examples. Will discuss topics including structure, commenting, tagnaming, use of standard vs City-specific function blocks, etc., visualization of programming in the graphical development environment and the consequences of layout on visibility, and other subjects of interest to developers and users.
New programming standards will be developed based on Telstar and City standards. The development of new programming standards does not include preparation of new programming code and blocks.
This code will be written in later phases of the project.
A workshop will be held to review the developed PLC programming standards and solicit City staff input on the documents. The results of the PLC programming standards workshop will be documented into a summary Technical Memorandum and submitted with the final developed standards.
Control Panel Standards
This Task consists of developing control panel standards including standard Bill of Materials and Panel Drawings. A standard sample bill of materials will be developed based on Telstar standards and City input. Basic materials will be selected for use across the project for troubleshooting and maintenance consistency. Standard control panel drawings will be developed following Telstar and ISA standards, with City input.
A workshop will be held to review the developed control panel standards and solicit City staff input on the documents. The results of the control panel standards workshop will be documented into a summary Technical Memorandum and submitted with the final developed standards.
Loop Drawing Standards
This Task consists of developing loop drawing standards. Standard loop drawings will be developed following Telstar and ISA standards, with City input.
A workshop will be held to review the developed loop drawing standards and solicit City staff input on the documents. This workshop may be combined with the control panel standards workshop. The results of the loop drawing workshop will be documented into a summary Technical Memorandum and submitted with the final developed standards.
Design Standards
With reliance on standard drawings, bills of materials, draft specifications, develop a summary design standard. This document will comprise a roadmap to the major decisions, particularly for materials, and workmanship. The principal goal is to achieve SCADA uniformity between sties, and projects in important areas.

forms will be developed and provided for City review. City comments will be incorporated into the test plan outline and example test forms.
TASK 5 – RADIO SYSTEM EVALUATION
Introduction
The project goal is to replace the existing radio system, in conjunction with this project’s PLC/RTU and SCADA work at the remote sites and treatment plants. Selecting the optimal approach involves complex tradeoffs between cost, redundancy and reliability, risks, and performance. The evaluation process will arm the project team with the information needed to make well-informed decisions which meet or exceed baseline project objectives, but also make sense in terms of cost and other measures.
The evaluation process will use information and tools, including the following:
❖ Existing drawings
❖ Communication System block diagrams
❖ Prior work by the City and its consultants which looked at alternatives ❖ Acquiring information on real-world performance of today’s system ❖ Computer-based modeling
❖ Existing and available radio frequencies
❖ Knowledge of existing communications technologies and their feasibility, costs, performance, and other factors
❖ Field studies
Criteria Setting
We will work with City staff to define criteria, which will consist of “must do,” non-negotiable criteria, and also “desired” criteria. The must do criteria constitute the hard baseline limits, and the evaluation process is expected to lead to candidate solutions which not only meet the must do criteria, but also address many of the desired items, with thoughtful consideration for the tradeoffs, including costs.
For performance (polling times, response to command times) the existing system provides a useful baseline. These times can be quantified, and discussed in terms of the user experience as well as process objectives and data history/troubleshooting.
Criteria will be developed in the course of the work, and will likely include the following:
❖ System requirements (e.g., sites that must communicate peer-to-peer). ❖ Polling response times required.
#7..
- 186 -
Telstar Instruments and ArcSine engineering 8
❖ Backup Communication path requirements.
❖ Equipment redundancy and failover requirements.
❖ Emergency preparedness requirements.
❖ Cybersecurity requirements.
Computer Modeling
With the benefit of the preparatory work above, we will develop/analyze links, options and permutations using computer modeling. After the model is complete, a field-testing regimen will be developed to resolve the unknowns relevant to decision-making. It is expected that modeling and testing will be an iterative process.
Field Radio Path Surveys
We will visit up to 25% of existing sites to collect the following information. (If additional sites are required to be visited and agreed upon with the team, it will require a contract amendment). ❖ Current RSSI and SNR data for each path.
❖ Line sweeps of the existing RF transmission lines and antennas to look for bad or underperforming equipment (optional).
❖ Testing of existing radio transmitter output power (optional). ❖ Existing data load.
❖ Data transmission speed and success percentage, and using a protocol analyzer, how frequently retries occur.
Refer to Task 2 – Design Field Investigations, for discussion on availability of City staff to support access to panels and enclosures. The radio field work will, in many cases, not require City accompaniment. The proposed design field investigations intervals will allow for accompanied radio investigations every third week, the burden of which is projected to be 1 to 3 days of City oversight, depending on circumstances.
Perform secondary radio path field surveys for many proposed radio paths to verify modeled system architecture using Telstar’s Antenna Mast Trailer. Tests will be performed using real payload data.
Alternatives
Consider alternate communication technologies: Evaluate viable technology alternatives for remote sites based on site communication requirement.
❖ MAS Master radio alternative location(s)
❖ Other frequencies
❖ Microwave
#7..
- 187 -
Telstar Instruments and ArcSine engineering 9
❖ Cellular and hybrid options such as cellular combined with radios ❖ Fiber
Revise communication modeling: Prepare a cost-benefit analysis of the configurations.
Report
Prepare a Communications Study Report identifying alternatives explored and stating recommendations for hardware improvements to existing network, network layout and hardware requirements for alternative data collection network (such as wireless Ethernet) if recommended, and system reliability improvements. We will include draft system architecture diagrams, with recommended locations for repeater systems (as needed), antenna types, and tower heights for each of the stations studied, as well as a priority list for completion of recommended improvements and estimated cost for each. We will also include the costs for frequency coordination and FCC licenses if needed.
TASK 6 – CYBER SECURITY
Cyber Security efforts during the preconstruction phase of this project will consist of the following tasks. • Preliminary Coordination and Identification of Key Stakeholders • Data Review & and Development of Preliminary Requirements • Workshop 1 - Requirement Review and Collaboration with Key Stakeholders • Draft High-Level Existing Architecture (ICS/Purdue Model Format) • Select Applicable Security Control Requirements
• Generate Preliminary Recommendations
• Draft Preliminary High-Level Proposed Architecture (ICS/Purdue Model Format) • Workshop 2 - Review Plan with Key Stakeholders
• Develop and Submit TM Draft
• Receive and Incorporate Comments
• Workshop 3 – Review Final TM with Stakeholders
• Submit TM Final
• Advise Telstar Team During Preliminary Design
TASK 7 – 30% DESIGN
Introduction
Refer to Table 2 Site/Unit Process Count. This summary, references in the Solicitation as summarized in Table 1 Deliverables, and observations during the field visits, were the basis of the preliminary sheet list in Table 3 Drawing Deliverables. During the preconstruction phase (30%/60%/85% designs) do the following:
❖ Investigate all sites/unit processes where RTU changeouts are occurring. ❖ Develop documentation, including typicals where appropriate, which will guide the project to a well-defined construction phase scope and GMP.
#7..
- 188 -
Telstar Instruments and ArcSine engineering 10
❖ As part of developing the GMP and its scope, evaluate the extent to which the typicals need to be expanded during the construction phase. We believe that in many cases, the typicals will suffice, with the construction phase shop drawings covering the detail.
As noted elsewhere in this Scope, the field investigations will be tailored to the levels of effort included in this preconstruction phase work. It is expected that further investigations will be needed as part of the construction phase design work, deliverables, and GMP development will allow for reasonable contingencies arising from the later investigations anticipated.
Preliminary Drawing List And Submittal Schedule
Refer to Table 3 for a list of drawings with anticipated delivery milestones.
The P&ID’s drawing count as presently scoped does not include P&ID’s for vendor-furnished packages, nor P&ID’s for Plan unit processes where the RTU’s are not being replaced. This drawing count represents an optimized list.
A preliminary specifications list follows. It is expected that not all sections will be required, or they can be abbreviated, as some items can be described in Bills of Materials. (It is not the intent to duplicate information in multiple documents.)
Develop as-is Control Descriptions for the remote sites.
Preliminary Specification List And Submittal Schedule
Refer to Table 4 for a preliminary specifications list and identification of the principal authors of each.
Design Process
Develop Deliverables.
Internal review, by senior engineering staff.
Perform a detailed check by technician staff.
Revise.
Submit.
Each review meeting is covered in Task 10.
Approach To Alternatives
In the course of the design work above, contemplate project implementation alternatives. These alternatives will address overall SCADA architecture(s), communications/network alternatives, and overlay considerations for cost, performance, and constructability. Do the following:
❖ Review prior work by others
❖ Brainstorm in-house
#7..
- 189 -
Telstar Instruments and ArcSine engineering 11
❖ Prepare for and conduct workshops (Task 3)
❖ Summarize the chosen approach in a brief Technical Memorandum with bullets noting what was not chosen
This effort is not intended to constitute a complete written treatment of all alternatives considered, but only illustrate the general path the team took to arrive at the conclusions.
Develop Maintenance of Operations Plans
This work item covers development of preliminary plans for maintaining operations of the Plants and remote sites during construction. The plans will coordinate with sequencing drawings which are part of the design package, and will also include references to the testing methodology, for which this preconstruction scope includes resources for planning-level deliverables. The preliminary maintenance of operation plans will illustrate the overall concepts for keeping systems operational, but will not describe the steps in detail. The plans will be suitable for a general review of methodology, which will provide a basis for agreeing on the planning detail required during the construction phase, the level of effort to develop that detail, and the workload/levels of effort which can be expected to execute the construction period work in accordance with the proposed methodology. The preliminary plans will identify categories of outages and general durations, and temporary provisions, and City support needed to support sequencing and outages.
SCADA Network Design Considerations
The workshop series, design development, and design review meetings with VE emphasis will guide project decisions, including those for SCADA network architecture. The following concepts will be considered in field investigations, and will be brought forth during workshops:
1. Assess the communication link between Jennings Road facility and Sutter facility and consider redundant communication paths with cyber-security measures.
2. In the event of communication failure between Jennings and Sutter, consider store and forward SCADA model/AOS server at the Sutter facility to avoid loss of data, and a provision to monitor/control the operation locally at the Sutter facility.
3. Contemplate virtual environment with Hardware redundancy, High Availability and Disaster Recovery VSan solutions.
4. Consider a single cluster consolidated system, which would offer potential advantages for cost, maintenance, and security. Cluster is virtualization terminology which represents a group of servers/hosts that can share resources such as memory, CPU and data storage. Clusters provide flexible and dynamic ways to organize the OS resources under single VCenter management.
5. Consider VSAN as an added VMware software-defined storage solution. Doing so provides centralized visibility, simplified and efficient management at scale, and extensibility across the hybrid cloud—all from a single console. VMware vCenter Server is advanced server management software that provides a centralized platform for controlling VMware vSphere environments, with an automated virtual infrastructure across the hybrid cloud. #7..
- 190 -
Telstar Instruments and ArcSine engineering 12
6. Consider redundant alarm dialer system solution with secure mobile app notifications.
7. Consider redundant Tier 2 Historian with Enterprise solution for business application.
8. Consider addition of MAS (Master) for better performance, along with other performancerelated considerations.
9. Consider site grouping with multiple radio paths to achieve acceptable overall performance.
Consider cost and time-criticality performance tradeoffs, and relative importance of the data transmitted.
TASK 8 – 60% DESIGN
Similar to 30% design.
Data Migration Plan
Develop a preliminary data migration plan, as part of setting expectations for overall construction sequencing and timing, as well as establishing the construction phase level of effort for data migration.
The following will be considered:
1. The extent to which “old” data are to be accessible from “new” SCADA.
2. Tagging conventions, and coexistence of old and new data.
3. Approach to reporting across the conversion time boundaries.
4. Prioritization of certain information.
5. Technical considerations.
6. Optional tradeoffs, with an eye towards cost/benefit.
The allowance for HSQ’s support will be used to obtain their consultation during the evaluation process.
In addition, allow 40 person-hours as a placeholder for running a trial conversion, possibly with HSQ’s assistance, to validate the approach.
A final, complete data migration plan will be developed during the construction phase, based on the preconstruction conditions.
TASK 9 – 85% DESIGN
Similar to 60% design.
Report Definition
For clarity in the GMP basis, as part of the 85% design, develop Control Strategies covering reports.
Identify each report, variables to be included, and special cases which may require handling within the PLC or at reporting level.
For example, additional/conditioned variables may be warranted within the PLC, such as averages, process flow statuses (discharge, recycling, etc.), blanking intervals to address starting averaging and min./max. calculations, etc.
#7..
- 191 -
Telstar Instruments and ArcSine engineering 13
At the predesign level it is not expected to detail everything, but to provide adequate definition for the quantities of reports and the general complexities. Perform the following:
❖ Obtain existing reports and Permits
❖ Review
❖ Interview staff
❖ Assess variables/tags in use
❖ Develop preliminary requirements
❖ Address during workshops (Task 3)
❖ Write preliminary Control Strategies
❖ Submit with 85%
❖ Receive comments
Capture the necessary adaptations (but do not revise and resubmit – revisions and detail will follow during the construction phase).
TASK 10 – KICKOFF AND DESIGN REVIEW MEETINGS
Allow for 1 kickoff meeting and 3 design review meetings. Include preparation and meeting minutes.
TASK 11 – INTERIM DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
The purpose of this Task is to achieve fidelity/uniformity across projects. Ultimately, the City will need a published set of requirements, although such requirements might be best comprised as standards by example plus narratives.
This Task is to help address the short-term needs, and allow the rest of the SCADA work to “catch up” so the optimal standards package can be developed during the construction phase.
During scoping/negotiation exchanges, it was acknowledged that the other projects should not be held up, and also that the decisions under this SCADA project should not be rushed. The estimate includes allowances for developing written preliminary standards, or marking up others’ Work Products with suggestions, or some other combination of work which best fits the City’s needs.
TASK 12 – COST ESTIMATING AND OPTIMIZATIONS
Cost Estimating Basis (Project Cost Model)
This Proposal includes references to cost estimating methodology.
Formulate a written position based on these concepts, including estimating approaches for:
❖ Escalation
❖ Market uncertainties
❖ Labor cost uncertainties
❖ Unknowns due to level of design completion
❖ Unlisted items
❖ Unforeseen conditions
❖ Contingencies
#7..
- 192 -
Telstar Instruments and ArcSine engineering 14
❖ COVID-19 related issues
❖ Allowances if needed for City overhead
❖ Allowances if needed for CM, other outside services
Submit.
Conduct a virtual meeting to discuss.
Revise.
Resubmit.
Estimates
With each submittal, develop an estimate in accordance with the agreed-upon basis. Also include:
❖ Assumptions
❖ Areas of uncertainty
❖ Other qualifiers
Provide estimates at 30%, 60%, 85%.
GMP estimating is covered in Task 12.
Estimates will comply with the standards established by the Association for the Advancement of Cost Estimating (AACE) International and the Control System Integrators Association (CSIA) for SCADA Upgrade projects. We expect our cost estimates for the initial design phases of the project to fall into the Class 4 category defined by AACE International. As the scope of the construction project is better defined through further design, our cost estimate accuracy will be categorized as Level 3 and then Level 2, followed by the final GMP cost. The AACE International cost estimate classifications give guidance for the City on the level of contingency that should be maintained for the project. This recommended contingency level is reduced as the scope of the construction project is better defined and the cost estimates become more accurate.
Cash Flow Forecasts
As part of the Work Plan (Task 1), provide a preliminary cash flow forecast for the preconstruction phase.
With each submittal provide a cash flow forecast for construction.
Value Engineering
Conduct virtual meetings to discuss (during design) design approaches in progress, alternatives, constructability and cost consequences. Allow 2 hours per meeting plus (minimal) preparation. Allow for 6 meetings.
With each submittal, provide an internally-generated value-engineering assessment. #7..
- 193 -
Telstar Instruments and ArcSine engineering 15
Following the submittal meeting, summarize the value engineering conclusions and action items. Allow for short-term reconsideration, and response from the City. Tabulate.
TASK 13 – GMP AND SCOPE DEVELOPMENT
This task consists of resolution of project scope and GMP. Conduct a review meeting, address any scope, contractual, or other concerns.
Make required adjustments, finalize the documents.
TASK 14 – ADD FLOWMETERS
Incorporate into the evaluation and pricing, addition of four flowmeters. In the course of field investigations assess the following:
• Options for location
• Upstream/downstream pipe diameters
• Pipe materials
• Need for a vault
• Interconnection
• Other aspects which could impact feasibility and cost Add flowmeters to applicable P&ID’s. Develop small scale plan views showing locations, vault(s), and approximate dimensions. Include flowmeters in the cost proposal.
The preconstruction work will be undertaken on a level-of-effort basis, with the following allowance:

TASK 15 – EVALUATE CAMERAS
The City has expressed an interest in implementing cameras at remote sites. Adding this functionality is subject to complex tradeoffs in the extent of camera monitoring, overall video architecture, communications system architecture, cost, and performance. #7..
- 194 -
Telstar Instruments and ArcSine engineering 16
The Phase 1 strategy will consist of first developing a candidate SCADA solution without cameras, then considering adding cameras and looking at the increment/alternatives for communications systems to support the cameras. The work will include the following:
1. It is assumed that the City will independently develop its internal “wish list” of sites, and camera quantities at each. It is assumed this will be done with the help of the City’s other consultants, and will not involve Telstar or ArcSine. Include any requirements/wishes for one- or two-way audio, access control, or other needs.
2. On receipt of the list, Telstar/ArcSine will undertake a first-cut evaluation and categorization of the wishes as EASY, MEDIUM, or HARD. This will include internal brainstorming, and several internal meetings. Develop required bandwidth estimates. Conceive of options including variations in the approaches to communications, infrastructure local to sites, limitations on cameras, etc. Develop coarse estimates.
3. Prepare for and conduct a workshop with City stakeholders. Narrow in the requirements to what appears to fall within the City’s cost/benefit expectations.
4. Develop conceptual designs of systems which are responsive to the narrowed requirements.
Develop typical bullet lists of what provisions would be included and where. Develop conceptual drawings, and for estimating purposes allow a camera-specific legend/cover sheet plus six sheets of drawings. Develop budgetary estimates.
5. Prepare for and conduct a workshop with City stakeholders. Settle on the basis for the subsequent proposal.
6. Scope and price the incremental work.
7. Following submission of the overall cost proposal, allow for a workshop dedicated to further refinement.
8. Rescope/re-estimate in accordance with workshop conclusions.

Deliverables Notes:
Construction phase panel design deliverables will consist of an optimized ArcSine/Telstar mix. In many cases, given the City's prior approval of shop drawings, we can proceed directly to shop drawings (ex. panel elevations, some of the typical control diagrams). Where design typicals are not appropriate, such as at the treatment plants, ArcSine will provide design drawings such as control diagrams for each new panel as part of a formal design package. Those drawings will later become the basis for shop drawings. 3 of 3

Notes:
1. For P&ID's, the preconstruction phase will include typicals where they make sense. The benefit of unique P&ID's for each site will be explored during the preconstruction phase, and the unique P&ID count shown is an estimate of the drawings which would be needed above and beyond the preconstruction drawings.
2. The remote site's do not necessarily warrant complete design drawings per se. We intend to move straight to shop drawings where we can.
For estimating purposes, allow for the following representative remote site drawings to be developed during the preconstruction phase.
Consolidated drawings (nominally 3 per site), allow for 20 unique packages for a total of 60 sheets (approximately 20 control diagrams and 40 other drawings).

Schedule Notes:
1. Once under Contract, work planning will result in a more detailed schedule. Interdependencies between activities will also be assessed, which will have a bearing on overall schedule.
2. 30% design will commence in earnest following meaningful investigations, radio path work, and workshops. The schedule will be developed to conform to this principle.
3. Some activities Contracted under predesign need not be fully completed to arrive at an agreed-upon GMP. The City's team and Telstar's team can assess that at the time and prioritize decisions accordingly. As one example, working out all of the details on 85% Control Strategies is not necessary to set an appropriate level of effort for the programming work.
