Commission accepts SCADA telemetry work and authorizes final payment
Summary
The Rangely Sewer Commission voted to accept the completion of the telemetry/SCADA communication portion of a recent upgrade and approved final payment to the vendor after resolving remaining configuration issues.
The Rangely Sewer Commission voted to accept completion of the communications portion of a recent SCADA upgrade and to approve payment to the contractor, following staff confirmation that telemetry hardware and software were installed and operating.
Staff reported that the telemetry (remote monitoring) components were installed and that vendors remain on site to resolve remaining configuration items; air conditioning work for the control building remained incomplete at the time of the meeting. Commissioners noted intermittent issues tied to local power fluctuations and asked staff and the vendor to adjust sensitivity parameters to reduce false call-outs.
A commissioner moved to accept the vendor’s completed work for the communications portion of the SCADA system. The motion carried by voice vote recorded as 4-0.
Discussion versus action: staff described the completion of the installation and remaining minor commissioning tasks (discussion). The commission’s vote to accept completion and authorize payment is a formal acceptance (decision). Staff said the contractor would continue troubleshooting to reduce sensitivity to brief power fluctuations and finish remaining configuration work the following day.
The commission also acknowledged the system improvements that will allow staff to silence nuisance call-outs and better view call-out reason codes remotely. No additional funding or contract changes were recorded in the discussion.
