DISCUSSION:
Allen Bradley equipment is utilized throughout the City’s water infrastructure, including water treatment plants, well sites, and reservoir facilities. These components provide critical communication and control network between remote facilities and the City’s SCADA system. As the City’s entire communication network is standardized using Allen Bradley equipment, replacement parts and services are not compatible with products from other manufactures; therefore, staff is seeking a purchase order with Royal Industrial Solutions to acquire the necessary replacement equipment and services.
Royal Industrial Solutions is the exclusive authorized sales representative for Allen Bradley products within Los Angeles County. Based on the research conducted, staff recommends City Council approve a sole source purchase order with Royal Industrial Solutions for the purchase of Allen Bradley products and related services.
