Board considers SCADA upgrade design amendment; phase one fee presented for approval
Summary
Staff presented a design‑phase amendment for upgrades to the surface water treatment plant SCADA system costing $1.6 million (including a $150,000 owner's allowance) for Phase 1; board discussion was limited and a vote result is not specified in the transcript.
Tampa Bay Water staff presented an amendment to advance design services for upgrades to the surface water treatment plant supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. The SCADA architecture supports remote monitoring and control using programmable logic controllers, servers, fiber, and cybersecurity controls; staff said the upgrades will be designed to integrate with an ongoing plant expansion.
Maribel Medina summarized the scope and explained the project will be implemented in two phases: Phase 1 (design) and Phase 2 (construction and integration). She said Phase 1 services under amendment 2025‑517 total approximately $1,670,000 and requested board approval of a negotiated scope and fee in the amount of $1,600,000, which includes a $150,000 owner's allowance.
A motion to approve the negotiated scope and fee was made and seconded (movers recorded in the transcript as Councilwoman Hanowitz and Commissioner Wostel). There was no substantive discussion on the item before the board voted; the transcript does not record the final tally or the board's vote on the motion at the time the minutes capture the item. Staff said they will return with a Phase 2 request for construction and integration services in a future board meeting.
