Background

The Water Supply and Wastewater SCADA Systems Replacement project is in the Town's FY 2027-2032 CIP. The initial scope did not include new technology hardware; staff later recommended new servers and network hardware for redundancy, resiliency, and cybersecurity. The memo asks Council to amend the FY 2027 Utilities Fund budget with a $1,589,398 debt-financing supplemental appropriation and to approve servers from MainMicro at $1,218,000 and network hardware from DSI Tech at $712,000. After those awards and an estimated $877,400 of other miscellaneous hardware and costs, the memo leaves a $500,000 balance for future task orders and contingency. (packet pp. 221–222) (slides 1–7)
