Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an amendment to Agreement 144884 with HSQ Technology for the Miser Supervisory, Control, and Data Acquisition system to provide additional time to the agreement to continue with HSQ equipment and support services critically necessary to prevent system failures that would cause disruption of water delivery to City of Phoenix customers. No additional funding is required for this amendment.
Report
Summary
The purpose of the amendment is to extend the term of the agreement for an additional two years with three one-year options to extend. The HSQ Miser Supervisory, Control, and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system is a distributed computer control network used by the Water Services Department (WSD) for monitoring and automating the process for delivering water to City of Phoenix. The HSQ Miser SCADA system is proprietary, and there is only one known capable supplier of the goods or services due to the unique nature of the requirement. The amendment will allow WSD to continue with HSQ equipment and support services critically necessary to prevent system failures that would cause disruption of water delivery to City of Phoenix customers.
The SCADA system requires on-site installation services including but not limited to: equipment to upgrade server/workstations and software, replacement parts, repair services and software licenses.
This item has been reviewed and approved by the Information Technology Services Department.
Contract Term
This amendment will extend the date of the contract term from April 30, 2022 to April 30, 2024, with three additional one-year options to extend the term.
Financial Impact

Funding is available in the Water Services Department's Operating budget.
