Report
Summary
The purpose of the amendment is to extend the term of the agreement for an additional five years to continue the software maintenance and technical support for the User Configurable Open System (UCOS). The additional time and funds will allow Control Systems International, Inc. to continue to provide software maintenance, licensing, and technical support which are critical to prevent system failures that would cause disruption of water delivery to City of Phoenix customers. This computer control system monitors and controls water treatment processes and water collection for the Water Services Department (WSD). UCOS allows for the operation of these systems with minimal staff and chemical usage, which ensures that quality and regulatory targets are met.
The agreement is used by the WSD Process Control Division to provide both technical support and software maintenance for the computer control system to keep the software current and functioning properly in controlling water treatment and water collection processes.
This item has been reviewed and approved by the Information Technology Services Department.
Contract Term
The agreement will be extended for a five-year term through Aug. 31, 2027.
